Haha! Talk about urting Vodous bubble!

You guys do know that i smoke enough Mari-jane that nothing bothers me. So its not like im going anywhere until the game is totally ruined by the noobs of whineology.


Loot options are still lame and ruins the mood/feel of the game. Its a bad choice by GGG.

But then again loot timers are lame and i've never liked them since i saw them.. I've got the point where loot timers are just annoying as hell.

Catering to whiners is bad. It will always be bad and never ends well.


True FFA was killed off before Open Beta. And unless this new FFA has some HUGE benefit from playing i won't touch it. So, see you all in care bear city insance loot happy hour.

It seems that at last GGG have come to their senses & are going to add loot options to the host. I guess the perseverance has paid off. Looking forward to the patch.

ull Free-for-all, something close to the current system, and a mode with longer allocation duration for people who don't want to deal with item tension. This decision was very hard to make because all of our developers are ninja-looters and love extreme item tension, but after talking with a lot of players, we realised that many people would have a lot more fun if we offered these options.

LOOT OPTIONS as we ask them since page 200.....

better late than ever

Notice they didn't say they were adding all out instanced loot. Just giving options with different lengths of times until the loot goes FFA (unless i missed something) In other words it still wont be enough you will all be back here the day these changes get released demanding instanced loot the second someone takes an item while you were staring off into space or however you manage not to get any loot ever in a public party.

This doesn't really concern me since I play exclusively with friends but I would bet 100 bucks this wont stop the whining.

It doesn't matter if it is instanced loot or not, it all depends on the timer lenght ... it was said previously but i'll say it again, current loot system with infinite timer it's just another form of "instanced" loot, like an evolution of instance loot in which all party-members can see all the drops but only pick-up their allocated/assignated share.

Ofcourse you cannot make everybody happy, but if you can make the vast majority happy then the problem is solved.
And looting options hopefully will do this ... i'm 100% sure that it'll be way better than it is now.

Well even if the loot timer is 10 seconds, if I wanted I could still block you off your loot :) That's what derbefrier meant.
