Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.
" Says one of the babies who cried to take it away...LULZ. WTF is going on this thread now? |

true FFA worked in diablo 2 because no one had any claim whatsoever to any of the loot. it was whoever got it as it hit the ground.
FFA with any sort of timer and any sort of discretion as to whos loot it is.. IS NOT FFA. when they offer a real FFA option and a real timer option everyone wins. to say FFA will die after this just truly makes me wonder how twisted in the head someone has to be. if anything this patch will finally be bringing us FFA loot. |

" A left hook! " And another! Just imagine, folks, if Vooodu WERE insulting people openly and directly? But don't worry, he assures us that he isn't, so it's all safe and good. " Don't quit now, Vooodu. You're doing so well! Dance, monkey, dance! " And the knockout punch! Go, Vooodu, go! GREENS vs. REDS: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/392/page/246#p811501

" you are really wearing horse glasses, the one who is bitching is you. " They will, its history already. That's why you are bitching and moaning like a real crybaby that is so lame that despite being a ffalover he will not play it when the change comes.

" False. It worked in Diablo 2 because gear didn't matter for shit in Diablo 2. If you had 2 hands, 6 fingers, and 1 thumb (second hand optional if you had a decent gaming mouse), you could beat Hell Baal completely naked with half the classes in the game. You could also do it with the rest with what is really very poor-quality equipment like some crafted 3S sword with a decent damage mod or crafted gloves with ~6% CB and a fast, ITD or Defense Reduction sword (or both, stick a rune in a fast 3S sword and get -25% enemy defense and grab the CB gloves). It is not required to trick out your Corpse Explosion to the point where it's a tactical nuke dealing 90%-150% corpse HP as damage against effective Fire resistance of -20% to all enemies in a 1.5 screen radius, even though you could do it and it was fucking glorious watching everything die to 2-3 blasts in an 8-man WSK run (which you were actually doing solo so you didn't have to share any loot that dropped, anyway). |

" while I won't argue gear not mattering as much in diablo 2.. heck my necro was dominant in pvp in the first couple of months with launch and he didnt need a single piece of gear. but at the same time gear wasn't worthless.. I sold an axe online for $165 because it was so OP for whirlwind. drops will always be what makes ARPG games fun, and it was no different for diablo 2. it worked for diablo 2 for the exact reasons I already said.. their is no way to complain about someone ninja'ing your drop it if was never your drop to begin with. I only played the first year of d2, when it was pure and while we were making the blueprints for everyone to use for 10 years after.. i dont care about the life of d2 because frankly it was crap after the first year. |

"This is kinda why I want a slider instead of the one-of-three-options of no timer, short timer, and long timer. With a slider, people can get a feel for a range of timer lengths that fits their playstyle, hardware, and internet connection. I think most people want timers to be longer than 2s like they are now, but not 10s long or whatever the long timer mode will play at, so in this form I feel like people will join a mix of both depending on whether they want to progress through the game or do loot runs more. That said, I'm pretty confident that there are going to be plenty of games still running at 2s loot timers and more than a few running pure FFA, even if the majority goes for very long timers. |

I look forward to public FFA as well as friendly games with no loot tension!!!! OMG the best of both worlds.
