You think people aren't playing public games because of the loot system?

Wow.

There are more people playing public D2 games than PoE right now and that has a FFA loot system, even worse than allocation timers.

This is a great change for those, "complain forever until we get something changed then stick around for a weeks after and leave" types. People that want this don't really know what they are doing to the game.

This change goes against the spirit of the game entirely. There is nothing more killjoy in a loot based game than automatic loot distribution.

Well, there is. A FFA loot system with no options.

Thankfully, the new optional system will cover all needs.

Good work, but i vote vor a "long time allocate".(for example, add a 30sec base allocate to each item.)

A permanent allocate can be raly frustrating, if something drops you realy need, allocatet for an other player, and that player is to lazy/dump to pick it up, or dont understand english and keep playing, until you stand beside youre Item of youre dreams, and be impossible to pick it up.

Beautiful

Now all that is left is to implement it that
unique items get allocated to the persons with the highest IIQ and IIR rating.

Playing a magicfinder is like playing Pain, all you get is negative resistances and no lifepool with no damagecapabilities.

It would be fair. We magicfinders spawn the uniques in the first place.
So why no firstpick?

I don't understand how people can be against choices.

for all allocation-haters around here: you still have old system.

how can you complain about having more than one option? it really disturbs you so much? are you sad because people want to play differently than you?

life will disapoint you so much, then.

I think that's pretty good. And nice to see, you thought about this for a long time.
Though I'm still missing an option to turn "maps to maker" on/off.
Else good job!

Yeah, thought about this as well.
Maybe there should be a time limit of "permanent allocation". 10 Minutes?

hi, good update :D
one question: will be possible to show "item allocation modes" somewhere on the screen, next to for example the minimap?? or to see it before enter in a group??
thanks

p.s. good job!!!

+1

Thanks for the update. I am sure there are people who will look forward to playing with the new loot systems. I have only one suggestion, and that is to add items with 6 sockets to the list of valuable items.

Thanks.
