LoreChief Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The ground is constantly littered with items not being picked up by whoever owns them. Some players can be seen anxiously bending over nonstop trying to pick these items up, because clearly they value them more... Can you change the loot lockout to like 30 seconds or something? It's like 5 minutes right now or whatever, pretty ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapp Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just deactivate the option in the game menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAlbion Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Why deactivate it? Duration simply needs to be shortened, as suggested by the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I responded too quickly. making the name disappear sooner is indeed a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoreChief Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Part of the problem is that in these dense loot situations, you can't even grab your own loot because of all the surrounding loot. You either mash your looting button and get stuck trying to pick up nearby items that aren't yours, or you have to surgically pinpoint your own loot on the ground with the mouse to try and claim it. It wouldn't be a problem if we could just pick up the other loot around it that the original owners clearly don't care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinDSL Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I hope there's autoloot function in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbity Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) What about 2 different options? The 'Pick up' skill only attempts to pick up nearby loot that is owned by you or has no ownership. Looting via the mouse will make no such distinction.

LoreChief Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 If they have the ability to make a distinct self-only loot skill, then by all means. It seems like that would require a more complex approach than just having autoloot though. There are definitely a lot of solutions for this - in the immediate future though the best bandaid would be reducing the loot lockout time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 No matter what they do, I think the loot lockout needs to be significantly lowered. Too much loot laying around right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayun Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 It could be even better if you dont see loot what you cannot pick, it can appear once its pickable Many map areas you cannot see ground now and noone is picking up, it also ads extra lag to game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeror Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Changing loot lockout time to a smaller value makes the game vulnerable for loot stealing. Loot stealing is abuse and should never happen. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jova1106 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think auto looting should be a thing. Picking up loot is a pain, and way too many items all over the place that have to be networked to so many people, because apparently nobody picks anything up. It's also irritating that picking things up doesn't prioritize items that you can actually pickup, rather it just goes for the nearest item.

lazypenguin Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 We agree the lockout is too long, we are going to look into it. Also it seems first hit is too powerful, even if you do most of the damage first tag locks the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eban Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Or finish the mob with a skill should give you the drop aswell right? Atleast i used that trick long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it seems first hit is too powerful, even if you do most of the damage first tag locks the drop. I don't disagree, but I will say that emphasizing damage done instead is just going too disproportionately impact less-meta-DPS classes. "You got first hit and did a decent amount of damage, but you are just a cleric so we reward the loot to the Bourg instead!" If the end goal is to make the system as fair as possible, it needs to be a completely different system. Perhaps... For Boss mobs (Kings, Queens, etc) - everyone gets loot so long as they or their party have contributed X% of damage done to it. For example, if 50 solo players go after an Aqua King, only those that did at least 10% of its HP get their own respective loot. This requirement maintains if you are in a party as well, to emphasize partying more. The loot drops are for each player/party that met the criteria. So if your group had 5 people in it, and you had enough contribution, each of the 5 gets their own singular random loot roll from the boss. It is automatically deposited into inventory instead of dropped on the ground. For non-boss mobs, it remains with first-tag system, but the loot drops on the ground. After 45s if you don't pick it up, it becomes free-for-all. It's not loot theft if you simply didnt choose to pick it up before it became available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That everyone who have hit the quest mob gets credit for the kill and quest item, but not necessarily the dropped items. Otherwise you will always get a group of players who are standing in a queue to slaughter the quest mob. Which is not a very fun game mechanic, if you ask me.
