When you're close to an enemy and it drops an item which is assigned to you in a public group, you literally have a second or less to click on it.

I was just in a party that finished act 1 cruel, we were fighting our way to act 2 town when all of a sudden a Greater Multiple Projectiles drops at my feet with my name on it. I was so excited, I had an instant rush of adrenaline and as I shot my mouse cursor to it... it went public and someone else grabbed it instantly... At which point they told us all it was a 16% Quality GMP.............

You can imagine how crushing this was, well, is, it just happened. I went from being super excited to play the game, to playing the game and being super excited, to seeing that thing drop and being so excited my head could explode, to... depressed and sad....

It seems like if you're going to assign drops to people specifically then they should have more than 1 second or less to click the item, especially with how hard it can be to find that camo'd cursor (it really does blend in).

I wouldn't be sad or depressed at all if it were a general drop and not assigned to me, I'd just be like "wow, grats to whoever got that, that's awesome" and move on wishing I were faster. But the fact that it was assigned to me and yet I didn't get it, because I couldn't get my cursor to it in under a second... man.... now I just feel bad :(

Please either remove this feature completely and make every drop a complete free for all, or increase the timers for the item assignments, because the way it's setup right now it just crushes people and makes them want to go do something other than play this game

the fact we're stuck with basically copying a game that came out 10 years ago, is absurd - you guys can do alot better then this.

public games should be fun, seeing another player in game, should be a welcoming feeling, not a feeling of dread.

And the sadest part is that they copied the worst parts

Good news, the second thread locked in Beta Discussion is "dont post new posts about loot anymore." Hopefully this will lead to a revision of current loot system.

Single player loot is broken, party loot is only good for quick tanky builds which can risk their life for every drop. Ranged, squishy, slow - you are screwed. Expect to have all your loot stolen by quick meaty tanks. This is the current state of events it seems.

I honestly dont understand what precludes devs from giving party leader an option to extend or remove loot timers as the group sees fit. How much rage and aggravation have been caused by stolen loot! I mean you play for days/weeks and then you see that lionsglare snatched away from you... will make most people stop playing cold.

Having lost a 16% GMP is discouraging for sure. Stories like this repeating every second. Who wins? some guy that steals another person's loot. Thieves are rewarded. Stealing is encouraged.

Partying is not welcome. Party members are not welcome, they are all potential thieves. But without party members in solo game you get nothing, so have to go in party. Steal or be screwed.... Get quick char, strong, fast, tanky, steal everything!!! Did you just tell me "fuck you" for taking your orb? no, fuck YOU asshole!!

Good game....
