Wouldn't solve all the issues. More complaints would rise. If you raise timers too much then it's not cutthroat and it would disappoint a lot of players.


Increase the base timer to 5 seconds for all timer allocated loot.
Add a cut throat league that uses the current base timer.
Use the current base timer in the race leagues
Add FFA loot as a possible Map mod.



Keeps the cut throat feel in a controlled environment


That's not cutthroat. Timers suck anyway. I don't even see WHY GGG would do FFA as a map mod. It just sounds absurd. Who wants to see a map mod of FFA?

I don't even see how your "fix" would solve the rest of the issues that are present in the current system. "More complaints would rise."

This topic was relatively decent and polite until you "joined".

I prefer not to have a choice. Because when choices are given i can't help but pick the easier choice.

After all you're nothing but a pink carebear.

If they make character migrations to said league possible, ok. I'd hate for my characters being stuck in "default" where all your proposed loot compromises end up in.

I mean, the game was meant to be cut-throat to begin with not? If migrating to said league is not possible, I'd rather have them rename default to cut-throat and make a seperate league with some of your loot options.

That FFA map mod sounds unnecessary though.

Jesus. Why are some of the Anti-FFA side so rabid? Being utterly dismissive, disagreeing so calling the other side's point of view invalid, saying reasoning is flat out stupid... grow up. It's a loot system, in a game that's still in open beta. Because of desync, range, etc FFA isn't flawless, but it makes sense with the world setting.

I don't understand the massive amount of anger and sense of entitlement over loot. Yes, playing solo there are less drops... but you can also take whatever you want with no competition. Playing with friends there is more loot and you can discuss or make sharing plans ahead of time. Playing with strangers there's a lot of loot and it's everyone for his/herself.


That's three viable options already in place. Will they change it down the line? Possibly. Is insisting that they must something to get so worked up over? I sincerely hope you don't believe it is.

I thought that is why hardcore is available? Hardcore could have FFA with/without timers and loot options for all I care.

They should make cutthroat league so all pro FFA dudes would just go there. Tired of the silly arguments.

Increasing the base timer from 1 second to 5 seconds would give players an additional 4 seconds to respond to loot drops. The extra 4 seconds would help with the dsync and pathing issues.

I suggest adding the FFA option as a map mode because some players enjoy that game play element and they should have the ability to do so. If it was added as a map mod it would reward the play style and the players that enjoy it can look for that mod.

This game is meant to be an exiled criminal trying to make it on some island.

Loot options just feels wack.


This is such a lame argument.

Funny, i don't rememebr this being a debate or an arguemnt.


Its what i read on the front page of this website before I downloaded the game..




L M F A O!!!


Perhaps I should have quoted your whole post in which you present that line as an argument, but that obviously wouldn't land.
Your purpose in this thread does not seem to debate or argument, but only to flame other more serious posts on this subject. That explains why you support the FFA-loot.
