Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.

Probably been mentioned, but I ain't reading 750 pages of messages lol. Why not just put in a Group Loot System? Then you can have your players who want FFA loot satisfied, and your players who essentially want a "turn based" loot system would be happy too. I know this set up would at least get me more encouraged to hunt in groups of randoms instead of right now only hunting by myself or 1 or 2 of my RL friends lol.

" This. There are a lot of strong opinions on both sides of the coin. Doing it one way or the other alienates a large group of potential customers. The easiest resolution is to add an option when creating a party. This way if you are that hung up on having loot "your way" then you just make your own party. |

And the problem with that, as I've said before, is that it basically puts people who are playing two very different games in the same league.
If anything, I would begrudgingly accept loot system based leagues. Such as a Hardcore/Default allocation leagues and Hardcore/Default FFA leagues. This way the two play bases don't mix. I just think the whole "league" concept needs to be utilized more. Not that what we have now isn't good (HC, Default, Eventually Cutthroat, and races). |

" They are working on updating the system. The Devs have not publicly stated how they are changing it, but have stated they are working on it. I sent a message to ionface regarding this topic and the reply I received states: " Now the question is how do they maintain the core loot system while reducing player frustration and nurturing a in game community?

I still hate the loot system how it is now and it refrains me from grouping with others
Plz shoot dead all the ninjas.. Why cant i make a public game with the option that is not free for all with like minded people. Im so certain if you implement this that 90% or more of the game will turn of free for all. or at least make it for uniques and gems and currency items.. rares i dont give a sjit about to be honest Last edited by Kortak#6140 on Mar 8, 2013, 6:20:53 PM

Looting options alienates the least amount of people. IMO

- Make your game public
POPup appears loot options - free for all - free for all (timed).. with a slider from 2 to 10 sec - named loot 0 blue 0 rares 0 uniques 0 gems 0 currency . Have to highlight which loot option to make it default choice for next time |

Just display the name of the person who picks up an item that does not belong to him/her.
