The drop timer really needs to be longer.

I love in a bubble style drops, people cant take my crap.

I generally refuse to play in a public party unless no friends are on because of the ninja gameplay.

Please do increase the loot timer. I hate the way loot is handled in this game its the only thing i dislike and while it will not affect if i will play the game or not long term it would make for a thousand time better game if you would fix loot so that it isn't a chore loot is the entire point of these kind of games and when you allow it to be fucked with like you have in this game it makes the game less good.

Either needs to be longer get rid of these ninja looters spamming there mouse on items. Or just all together get rid of timer and permanently lock the item problems all solved sure the ninja looters would be butt hurt but they will get over it want an item barter for it if not suck it up and deal with it.

hardly, you'll ignore most items later in the game if you know what to loot.

and i dont have trouble getting my "timer" items in time, even as ranged, so why people have such trouble?

This is the most original thread ever created.

I understand the reasons behind the loot timer, but I will never join/create a public game because of its design.

If their intent is to discourage public play, then kudos to them, its working well.


One thing I would argue for, is if there was someway that timed loot could have the original players name stay over it after the timer expired, so when my friends and I play together we can avoid accidentally ninja'ing each others loot. I cant even count the number of times we are all standing around after a fight saying "whos chaos orb was that?"

Well for starters one reason would be because not everybody is rich enough to put together a nice computer. So you take a junk computer that can hardly run PoE as it is then you add everybody in the party casting there spells lagging you up then you have you're answer to why some have trouble. Not to mention everybody in there grandma is spam clicking on the item that dropped so if you are just a second late that drop is gone for sure.

I enjoy public play and also the timer. You don't need to loot every thing, and if you are in a group loot is for everyone.

If you aren't quick enough then you just aren't. The mechanics are fine honestly.
