Brian's Feedback to Looting (quote from reddit)

If THAT was the best thing in the game then it must have been quite a shitty game. Haven't played it for long, but was it REALLY that bad ?

Diablo 2 was completely, utterly, a slot machine. You were putting your clicking ability against the ability of 7 other people.

If you change this game to some abortion of an "instanced" loot, or where all loot is "assigned" to one person and there's nothing anyone can do about it, you've changed this game from a Slot Machine to a Quarter Machine.

And btw, how old are you? Cause I played video games long before diablo 2 (or 1 for that matter).

26. Old enough to appreciate everything that came out after Mario Bros. 3 in 1988.

I'm personally not bitchingabout late. I'm bitching about having FFA in a PVE game. Allowing one way griefs. You steal my loot and I'm not allowed to rape your corpse for that. You are a carebear that feels hardcore by griefing people cause the game mechanics protect him. If I could kill you, rape your corpse and then feed your full of sperm carcass to your mum, would you still try to ninja loot? I bet you wouldn't. Cause you are a carebear.

How am I, someone who supports the current system, and preferred the Diablo 2 system of COMPLETE 100% Free for all, a carebear in this sense? You're utterly retarded. You're a part of the crowd that says, "THAT ITEM HAD MY NAME ON IT FOR 1 SECOND, ITS MINE". No, it's not yours, because it's not in your bag. If anything, GGG should just take names off of items.

Keep the timers so everyone has "an equal shot" at picking it up. And no one has the entitlement. You have the same opportunity to snag that rare as soon as the timer expires.

Wait, WHAT? Are you really saying this? Then a diamond comes in the room "if you haven't payed 1k$ dollars your opinion dont mean shit either". Now, back to your cave TROLL.

You're looking too deep into what I said.

This is a free-to-play game. It's repulsive that people download a FREE TO PLAY game, and with no monetary incentive on their end, attempt to CHANGE CORE ASPECTS of the game. Who in the fuck are you to suggest they change anything if you're not willing to put your money down?

So you admit that you are a carebear trying to grief people cause the game mechanics protect him. Good. Now we are talking. Tommorow go to the zoo and throw rocks to a caged lion. You are SO hardcore.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

If you did not develop this game, fuck off.

And since YOU did NOT develop the game, FUCK OFF INDEED!! You sir, are an idiot

I'm not the one trying to change YEARS of development of a game that you just heard about through a column on IGN.

Fuck off, Indeed.

It's not your game.

It's not your game either :)

As stated above, I'm not the one trying to change YEARS of development of a game. I'm going to play the game that was designed and carefully developed. If I don't like it, I'll move on. I'm not going to fucking hound them, bitch whine moan and groan to make them cater to my every beck and call. Do you realize you're a dick for trying to force them into a position to compromise their beliefs on how this game should be?

THEIR game. NOT yours.

If you rented Mega Man 3 and you thought that Needle Man was just too god damn hard, you didn't write Capcom telling them to release a new copy of the game because you can't fucking hit B and A and use the right ability to defeat Needle Man. God forbid you ever got to Proto Man or Dr. Wily.

So, the hardest games you have played thus far are megaman and diablo 2. K, that's why you think POE is "hardcore" GL mate, you are the chuck norris of the gaming industry.

Just like the other guy, your reading comprehension is disgusting. Nauseating, even. I simply listed a game that was released in the Golden Age of the NES. Back when, you know, you had to rent video games and not pirate them, or as we have it here, DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE, LEGALLY.

I'm not going to get into my gaming accolades, that's a cock measuring contest that I'm not interested in having with you. I know what I've done, I know my experience in difficult gaming.

And stop putting words in my mouth. No where have I ever tried to make GGG "cater" to me, nor have I called this game "hardcore". I don't have one fucking problem with people taking loot of mine that had "SDKAYLOR" on it for 1 second, why the fuck do you? Why are you so entitled?

Strip the names of the items, leave timers on them, and let the FFA begin. I'll feast on your fucking tears.

19 pages of whining since the 1st post. Awesome.

Loot is fine. 'Nuff said.

Loot is not fine, it sucks, and its the only thing that sucks in this great game which makes it by itself 99% more sucky.

Give us option to increase the timers, or to not put them at all. Thats it, is it hard ? no ? now go to work.

I'm all for it. No names, no timers. Pure Free for All.


D2's system wasn't broken, GGG improved it immensely. People still complain. It's amazing. This community should be placed in a bubble and studied for scientific research.

I don't see how "studying how to become stupid" is going to help the human race any.

Loot is fine except for the names on the timers, remove the names and the entitlement issues goes away.

The side motive is putting all these entitled gamers in their own society so the intelligent ones left over can continue to reproduce and not spawn more retards. Maybe even play great games in peace.


Somewhere, somehow, someone spilled hot coffee on themselves at McDonalds, sued the company that the coffee was too hot, and won.

The flood gates of entitlement opened. It's now infested video games. None of these "My Loot" people would make it an hour into Dark Souls. "I keep dying I quit! Push a nerf patch now!"

i dont think its fine when thread like this gets this long.

having a option is great, but without benefits to FFA, not many people.. by not many, i mean a lot of people will stay away from FFA.

FFA fits PoE and should be encouraged. now come to suggestion forum and lets discuss

FFA does fit PoE, I agree completely.

The worst thing Jay Wilson did to Blizzard North's baby was introduce instanced loot. I want to see what drops for everyone. Having a boss explode with 6 items that are all guaranteed to you is not as fun as seeing 40 items drop for everything, and there's a mad dash to decipher what is good, what should be prioritized.

So much loot drops that you cannot possibly pick up 1/5th of it. The scramble is the FUN!
