Separate item drops in party mode

I've been ninja'd out of a few good drops, but luckily none have been uniques. This is solved by playing with friends, but random players can be the worst to play with. I like the timer, but I think it should be a lot longer so you have time to kill everyone around the loot before some douche ninjas your drops.

They're not your drops.

I'm all for sharing drops, but certain items (like rares, uniques, and currency items) should have the timers there, and if the person they are for doesn't want them, then they don't pick it up. Simple. But if it has your name on it and you want it, but you're in the middle of killing a mob, it should still be yours even if the timer ends and someone else picks it up. Especially in hardcore where if you stop fighting the mobs to pick up items you could die. That's why a longer time should be used, or some kind of way for the game to know when you're not in the middle of a battle for the timer to expire.

Drop stealers/ninjas are the reason I don't like playing in big parties.

100% no.

GGG Has commented on this design and it is working as intended. If you like your own drops go back to diablo 3, use the search function next time.

GGG can do what they like, but this loot system is less desirable by the larger masses, and only the small (hardcore) community will really embrace it. So leave it as it is, and watch this game remain only a few thousand players strong, and yes we will continue to play D3 where there are 10's of thousands cause it is better loot system..

If you play a game SOLELY based on how loot is "dropped".

I wish you the best of luck someplace else.

Well sorry, but a whole lot of players are going to choose to play solo just because of this. In fact, I'm guessing quite a few players will decide not to play at all because of this.

Calling it a "feature" is ridiculous. Yes I get that you're an exile. So what? At least give an option to enable/disable shared drops upon party creation.

Have to agree. Many players will not play in groups, because of this.

nope i woudnt like that

100000000% no

Its not diablo 3

What's that got to do with anything? You hate the idea by default because Diablo 3 implemented it?

I'm honestly shocked at the negative response to this. I would've thought 99% would be all for the idea.

Regardless, it definitely needs to be implemented at least as optional. I'm guessing people will play Diablo 3 for party play and PoE for solo play if this isn't implemented. I haven't tried TL2 so can't comment on party play in that.
