This troll is hilarious.

He's absolutely terrified of loot OPTIONS being added because it means he won't be able to steal from other players anymore. Everyone who's sick of the current loot situation will use loot rules that preclude ninjaing.

Vooodu will then be forced to play in FFA loot groups where everyone is a greedy POS. Then he'll be competing with 5 others of his own kind.

Not so fun anymore when you have to deal with your own kind, is it?

Keep posting, Vooodu. You are the veritable poster boy for how certain game mechanics need to change to prevent griefing.

All various opinions aside, I think most people are in agreement that, if the system is to be the way it is, then we need a longer timer.

I know, some people have the timer all together, while others want fully-insanced and yadda yadda ... but assuming it is to be this way ... I have heard MANY, MANY people suggest a longer timer, as in, 2-3 times as long, and I haven't yet seen one person disagree.

Personally don't find the timer to be that much of an issue; my main concern is the player collision. God knows how many times I've been spam clicking my item, only to have it taken by another player that was standing on it.

Just today the chin sol unique drops for me, and as a ranged build that would have really helped me out. But no, another player is standing on it so I can't pick it up.

I don't get what this is even supposed to mean? Play with my own kind?

I usually play with 'cool' people. Cool as in they don't bitch and annoy the hell out of me.


I pretty much only play and enjoy playing with people who understand how the game works and don't waste time complaining about it. I can't stand whiners.



When you say everyones sick of the current loot situation you fail to understand that most people are just sick of listening to people like you complain about it. The fact is the majority of players are NOT complaining at all about it. Its funny that you would think a small percent of people actually means 'everyone'. No wonder you think im a troll...lmao.

I personally don't want loot options because it just makes the game seem watered down and cheap.. I feel this game should be full on FFA. Thats my opinion.

*facepalm.

Whats the point of 2-3 minute long timers?


Id think no one would disagree or agree, because no way in hell GGG would do something that lame.


2-3 minute timers.... My god, how drunk does one have to be to think 2-3 minutes is needed in a FFA style game. Let alone think this would even happen


How about no one gets a timer allocated to them. Just timers with NO names. Now everyone has to wait for every other drop. We can all stand around 2 minutes telling jokes chuggin beers and waiting.

Sounds like a drinkin party...

Will we reach 1000 pages before GGG changes anything?

Opinion, not a fact. It would do this thread well if people on both sides wouldn't say stuff thats an opinon like its an actual fact.

Yes I am popping in. Seeing if the discussion is any better.

Edit: I personally don't see how anyone can argue that only a small percentage of players don't like the loot system when mods have had to actively LOCK all new threads about the topic because there were so many.

in my opinion, you don't have to calculate the distance or anything else, just make the time longer such as 3 -5 seconds or jjust make it look likes d3( i like your style but it is what i think).

Nope I can't stay in a game that ignores the player base with huge end game issues....
