Announcements - Item Allocation Specifics - Forum

I'm looking forward to playing both allocated and FFA games, though I suspect I'll spend more time in FFA. It'll be nice having the choice, just as we have a choice to play HC or Default.

(Not that anyone cares, but still) Is this the start of the slippery slope for GGG that they've been warned about? Only time will tell... Disappointed that people who didn't group, now will. Disappointed that people who thought there more importance in killing the monsters, contributing to the group and less on looting will no longer be prey. Disappointed that to ninja you need to group with more ninjas and be more ninjad yourself. Awwww, diddums. Casually casual.	Posted by TheAnuhart#4741 on May 24, 2013, 5:39:20 AM Quote this Post

Whiners = Ninjas Srsly, you are still free to make your own pub group that runs with exactly the same old settings and if nobody joins you then duh - people want to be able to pick up their stuff, and for most people it mentally REMAINS their stuff even after the timer runs out. Also, some people lag very much due to where they live and sometimes they do not even have the possibility to pick it up. I tell you it becomes tiresome pretty quickly to have your chaos and alchs ninja'd every time. Thirdly, the build makes a difference. Summoners and totem guys can just run around most of the time looting, while melee builds and ranger/caster builds are busy dishing out damage.... And AGAIN: The old allocation system remains, just make your own group and play with all the ninjas if you like the competition! ??? GGG: About the allocation of high level items: ??? How are we gonna recognize that these items are allocated? Currently we would not even know that they are allocated! Allocated items just look like normal items and you just know that they are allocated because you know which types of items get allocated. The item level is not obvious ... I thought it would be nice to be able to see the owner of an item (the one it was allocated to) again, so you could pick up items for your friends if you are with them in a pub group, to avoid ninja from pubs... Guess this patch makes it kinda obsolete. I like the patch. Ninjas can still play amongst themselves. ign: quirx_rng_pls	Posted by quirx#0269 on May 24, 2013, 5:40:27 AM Quote this Post

Without the name, allocated whites and blues, among the sea of whites and blues, are only viewable as allocated.. to those who they are not in fact allocated. :/ Casually casual.

Fuckign awesome. Now i dont have to concentrate on the items all the fucking time, but just sit there, enjoy the game and relaxe while playing. Thx so much for this one!	Posted by WUlf1337#0866 on May 24, 2013, 5:45:36 AM Quote this Post
I dont see how anyone can see this as a disappointment. GGG just added more options, and that is good. I just hope they fix the trading system and the mods on items. And most unique items are very bad. I hope they redo some of them. Trading is very bad since races are introduced. Now u see that people use party names to sell their stuff.

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. This. And have you also noticed that 99% of the casual complainers and whiners have donated absolutely ZERO dollars/euros/we for GGG and yet they are the ones who are apparently getting to make the decisions here. I fucking said this would happen. It always does. Humans never fucking change. Fuck this. I think you guys might be taking this shit too seriously. You actually have the OPTION to play the game how YOU want. No one is getting any "advantages" from this. I play both Hardcore and default and have given plenty of money to this game. So just like how you now have the CHOICE to have hardcore loot, you also have the choice to quit the game and spare us your complaints. Anyway, the "spirit of the game"? I love competitive games, and I love difficult games, and while I'm not some dedicated HC player who thinks the only way to enjoy the game is to never die once, I definitely think the "spirit of the game" is still intact here. You want to know what I like in loot-based games? Separate loot for every player. It's actually pretty nice. Everyone kills a mob, everyone gets an item, everyone is happy. You still have to actually KILL the mob. The physical PICKING up of the item is far from what I would consider "skill". And it's true, humans never fucking change. Just at how you can't change from your "FUCK CASUALS HURRDURRRRR!!!" mindset. Grow up and grow a pair, pal.

Please fix the many technical issues that people are having with your game in this patch too. It's unplayable for many for a variety of reasons.	Posted by Surrma#0499 on May 24, 2013, 5:46:29 AM Quote this Post
