Giving parties looting options seems like a win-win move.

No options. Everyone's supposed to be on the same line. You didn't get that FFA item from the ground and someone snatched it? TOUGH LUCK. Next time, be faster.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never complained about not being able to pick up items. In fact, I suggested they get rid of the loot timer to truly make it FFA. However, if parties want instanced loot I really don't care as long as there is an option to do either or.

What damn easy mode are you talking about? I'm good at the game and picking up stuff because I'm fast. I take what is on the ground and expect others do the same. If you can't do that, it's your goddamn problem. By coming to the forums and saying GGG should change things because you suck at doing something, now THAT'S a problem.

Stop swearing at me or I will report you.

When compared to solo multiplayer is easy mode. I don’t suck at the game and can grab loot just fine. I have not convinced myself that my loot popup clicking skills make me ‘hardcore’.

I want them to make the actual game harder in multiplayer.

Really?

Don't use the word GODDAMN or il report you...


LOLLL................... Seriously?




WRATH stop being annoying. IM just sayin'.


You asked for a response like that and you got one. Now you are gonna report him?

Is this the game kids play nowadays on the web. I noticed sickness do the same to me.

Hello captain obvious.

Your point, while valid in the wrong kind of theory, is flawed.

Solo play means all monster focus fire on you alone unless you use totems/summons. Add more players and this focus fire aspect goes away. Add player amount to six and monsters are completely toothless doing small hits here and there and generally acting like they have no plan whatsoever to win the fight. Monsters living slightly longer (well, not longer, try maths for 3.5x hp and 6x damage) does not change the equation where you have 6x hit points to tank the same incoming damage.

Of course your point is valid too. If we are talking about well coordinated premade party you're pretty much right, and I cannot argue with your point.
But there are some twists to it: People are idiots. They are tend to be uncoordinated, careless and generally dumb sometimes. I'm a hardcore player, and I saw no less than 7 deaths in parties while leveling my current toon through Normal and and Cruel. Most of those deaths happened because people overestimated their ability to deal damage to mobs and therefore took too much damage themselves. Keep in mind - I mostly leveled my toon solo, with occasional partying.

My primary concern is that: if we will directly increase the amount of damage that moobs are dealing to players in parties (let's say +10% per player in party ) it will be a great threat to get oneshoted in groups. And that is not fun. It will basically render partying useless.

And that’s a job for GGG. They need to figure out how to add difficulty to multiplayer without making it unfair. I personally think that for each additional player monsters should gain 1-2% attack/cast/movement speed. Also they should increase the frequency that mobs spawn with fork, ark, and AOE skills.

I'm not sure 'damn' is even considered a bad word anymore. That was so 90s.

I grew up in the 90’s maybe I’m just showing my age… I still think poster needed to dial it back a bit.

how to go from loot argument to language fashion argument xD. Just trolling :P
