Item Allocation Specifics

I dont get it Chris, you guys from GGG made almost everything right, but why isnt every map "map to maker"?
No one, who joins a party, goes there with the intention to increase his map pool. If he gets a map drop, he thinks "oh, cool, I got a map, I wont give it to him" but thats it. If a map gets stolen from maker, he will just have a bad mood, randomly kick someone if he dont know who it was, and stop playing after the map is cleared.

We, as a maker, cant think any reason to let someone who joins the party get a map. We use so many currency on those maps, those people who join dont use anything, they can buy twice as much maps with the currency we spend on maps..

Well, I stopped playing in public parties over a month ago because of the loot and map2maker system (many maps got stolen from me), I would play again in public but this definitly makes it a no-go for me as a map-maker..

He also says that he prefers the FFA system yet he should know that it puts ranged at a severe disadvantage that they can never overcome because its impossible to get a single item if there are melees on the group.

He doesnt really seem to play his own game.

Casually casual.

Why would you designate white map drops to the map maker, but not magic, rare, or unique maps???

I dont see the point in this as it will just upset players.

Unique maps I can understand, the rest doesnt make any sense.

They say themselves that the maker invested a lot of currency into the currently played map and wants payback by maps dropping but assume that magic and rare maps shouldnt be his because you dont need to invest currency into them. Which is a pretty flawed logic since the maker still invested the currency into the map that is currently being played.

stay tuned



so true


Definitely. The devs decide to add looting options so they are obviously going to add an AH to. The logic is flawless......oh wait..uh, thats not logical at all. One does not equal the other. Ohhhhh your just mad. Got it.

BTW trading really sucks right now. I don't want an AH but for the love of God give us the offline trading or something!

I love everything that is added here but m2m?....
Well... I never like it that much, my friends and I always play map to person who has it highlighted. We always think its fair this way and I would like to see an option about maps, so they can be choosen between "map to finder" or "map to maker".
Otherwise I'll always want everyone to play "my" maps, so I can get even more maps and I will not like to play someones elses maps, since they'll almost always drop for him.
I found about 30 maps in total, only 1 blue and 1 rare so far. And I have seen a unique map drop to one of my friends while we run on map that I made. Was I jealous? Of course! Was I trying to say to him; "hey! Its my map! Give it back, you found it in location I spend resources to make! SO its mine." NO!
Why I run maps mostly? To find more maps and higher lvl maps, you just gonna kill half of the reasons for me.....
People with poor connection want allocated.
People with good connection want FFA and QQ about this.

Go figure

cause this will generate (or improve) the elitism circle of map owners. I guess, most people who participate in open map games, havent found just their first one (that had to be outside of maps itself, in this system).

Now, from the general loot distribution, also most of the maps will drop white (I assume). All these go straight to the map-starter, and of all other maps he will also get his portion! If I'd contribute to others maps with my char, and had no chance at all to get own maps too, why should I coop with them? (no matter if with damage, survivability or just loot increment)

"All M2M" is another feature that makes the rich only richer...

Edit: just like Augillac said above.

It has nothing to do with the connection you have, but with the people and the type of character you play. There simply isnt a chance that you will ever get an item as a ranged with the upcoming melee buff, let alone when youre a european playing with people from the US.
