It does absolutely nothing to solve the problem and the implications for what GGG thinks grouping should be like are pretty unfortunate. Rather than just being greedy jerks about loot and sometimes being too far away, we can all be greedy jerks and be equally rewarded for it. It doesn't look like I'm ever going to be able to group with people in this game. We're happy to adapt the system based on feedback from the players. We posted this idea 16 months ago (in that infamous thread I linked to in the original post) and only found time in the schedule to add it this week. It'll be pretty interesting to see how it affects the grouping dynamics. We have been clear from the start though - PoE is about items mattering. We want to make item drops be exciting, and that requires both highs and lows. Can we reserve these highs and lows to the actual item drops, not to a click fest on loots? Fighting for drops in a party does not add anything to the game at all. If everyone got their own loot problem would be solved.	Posted by thepmrc#0256 on May 25, 2012, 6:43:16 PM Quote this Post

Love hearing the news, specially about the act 2 boss and what not, running through pyramids is far too easy to not have some big fight at the end tho I am kinda sad to hear open will not be in June, I still look forward to all your advancements in this game and my friends will have to just paitently wait or donate =p	Posted by 187Ghost187#3324 on May 25, 2012, 7:11:59 PM Quote this Post

Although I am EXTREMELY bummed that I'll have to wait longer to play this game, and I feel really bad for all the guys in the beta invite forum, I am glad that GGG is working for the game instead of deadlines. All the changes sound cool, though I can't really say I understand half of them. My friend bought early access and said he'd have paid 60 bucks for this game and been perfectly okay with it, so I suppose the wait will be worth it. That being said, the Bible says "ask and ye shall receive". So can I have a beta key? You wouldn't wanna upset the almighty, would you? I don't have sig :D -- gracy123 Last edited by Onionspam#4692 on May 25, 2012, 7:43:47 PM	Posted by Onionspam#4692 on May 25, 2012, 7:30:27 PM Quote this Post
I would still just like an option to have individual loot drops, timed loot drops, and fully shared loot drops. Then depending on if I am playing with the public or with friends I can just adjust the drop style within my parties. I think the timed loot drops may be a step in the right direction though for promoting the use of public parties and I think the notice board is also a great way to promote interaction between people! The only social aspect that seems to be missing now is the ability for guild/clans but I'm sure you guys have that planned already :)	Posted by Pu1pFriction#0010 on May 25, 2012, 7:54:30 PM Quote this Post
So no trading system any time soon? When is it expected to be implemented? I'm really getting tired of contacting sellers that don't respond. Seriously, like four out of five times...	Posted by D623932883#0055 on May 25, 2012, 7:57:24 PM Quote this Post
I'm super pumped about item comparison. SUPER! I can't wait to set foot in the new act. I haven't seen anything on it. (I had to edit, because it originally said I can't wait to set food in the new act. Which is funny, but not very true.)
