Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I'm not aware of any MMO that has this except RIFT. Anyone know?
Basically when you loot one corpse, you loot them all in a single window. It is freaking sweet, especially combined with auto-loot.

Auto loot in DAoC (as long as you were in range of the mob, which was something like 2/3 combat range) was totally automagic. I liked it. Never had to worry about forgetting to loot that one random quest drop.

I'm disappointed that we have gone backwards since DAoC. I guess it could be considered dumbing down, but looting is one of the most tedious acts in a MMORPG. It's brutal.
Maybe it's there as a time sink, I don't know, then geez make combat a little slower or something. :o
DAoC and CoH - awesome.
But Rift is a welcome step back to where we should be sounds like.

Absolutely. AoE looting in Rift is freaking awesome. But I sometimes blink a few times after looting one corpse and think "Wait, there were a few corpses here that I had loot on." Then it dawns on me and I go about my happy business, a little bit happier than I was before since I didn't have to click 5 times.

Looting in WoW takes more skill. If you carebears learned to play the game, our forums would be clean of all this whining. Get a guild and learn to loot IMO.

Do you not group in Rift or does it distribute all that loot from all corpses amongst the group according to loot rules or what?

click drag clicking is a game itself ... dont ya know?
like how you cant just sort your stinking inventory, like you could 20 years ago in Pools of Radiance?
maybe some decade we'll get over this preconceived notion that repetitive clicking on a super computer is a hoot!!

Well I pesonally miss the "cash only" loot option. when myb ags are full, I still want the money but it's a pain to keep getting "Your inventoyr is full" and ot have to click the same spot 5 times to finally get tohtat corpse on the bottom that still has 21 silver on him.

The PvP so far is in the Warfronts (aka battlegrounds) and regular PvP rules in the open world. It's pretty much like WoW, except I never have a clue what my enemy is going to do...

Agreed. I enjoyed bards quite a bit. It's a lot more interesting than what other games tried to make bards into. It's a lot funner having your "music" be your source of power for your abilities and damage than just some obscure buffs.

DAOC does this, but you have to be within a certain range when the mob dies, or you'll have to pick up the loot off the ground. Then there's the fact that daoc is limping along on one wheel these days population wise... At least WoW has autoloot, my goodness, you guys need to play AC. Most loot is random number generated, so you have to check almost every piece, to an extent anyway, and there's no built in autoloot at all without using 3rd party programs.
Though I agree AoE looting does sound pretty sweet, I don't find looting in WoW to be as big of a pain as it is to some I guess. On the flip side, I don't see the point in keeping WoW looting from being more automatic either. They've added so many conveniences to the game, I'm kind of surprised they haven't added aoe looting, or straight up automatic looting like DAOC.

I find AoE looting superior to autoloot of everything because I don't like to take all the trash. I like opening a single window with all the loot in the area, and then I can choose what to loot, or alternatively, hit auto-loot if I want it all. To me, this is the ideal looting in any MMO, ever.

Ahhhh! I did not realize it was AoE looting in the sense that it opens windows for all mobs in the vicinity, I thought it autolooted all mobs in the area.
Now I see why the Rift beta testers are liking the looting system. That IS convenient.
Thank you for clarifying.

To clarify further, if you kill 10 mobs, you don't get 10 windows.
You get 1 windows with all 10 mobs loot in it.

I'm still a little confused about what happens when there's multiple players involved in the killing then...
Are certain corpses assigned to each player, like WoW, and when you open your loot window, only those mobs are included?

When my wife and I play, we have it on round robin need/greed, and what happens after we kill 10 mobs, is I loot one and get my 5 mobs of loot, and she loots her 5 mobs.

If you press the Alt button after killing a bunch of mobs in Diablo 2 you will see all of the loot in the immediate vicinity, so I guess that is close to the same thing...

not really, the corpses you can loot sparkle, like WoW, it's just when you right click one of them to loot it,it loots all of "your" corpses in the immediate area,a nd put thems all into one loot window.

Well obviously it's not exactly the same, but the OP asked if any other games do this, and I think D2 is a fair comparison. Just because the corpses don't sparkle and the loot isn't shown in a window? The objects sparkle, and the loot all shows up on your screen when you press Alt, they're just not in a little pop-up window.
EDIT: Of course, it's not a traditional active MMO either, but I still stand by the comparison!  There is no autoloot to combine it with though, sadly.

If I am looting a pull, and the loot begins to disapear before Ive looted everything... then maybe they should make a change to the whole clicking to loot is fun game.
my hands are pretty much worthless from gaming (in excess of 25 years), so anytime you can eliminate useless click click clicking... Im all for it.
everything else in this game plays like a watered down slideshow, so why cant the looting?

AoE LootingI
|
aoe looting sounds nice but more importantly i just want to bind a key to target and pick up loot like in daoc. in WoW the mouse clicking and the "lag" before the items actually loot plus all the stupid pop up windows about binding stuff (yes i want to loot the item even if it binds....what else will i do just let it rot in the corpse?) and the fact that autoloot doesn't work half the time pisses me off to no end. even the loot a rang sucks since u need to click the ground where you want to throw it.
too much work just to pick up loot. its more efficient to just let the loot rot in the ground and make money through other means at lower levels.

I hear what you're saying, but that sounds more like a value proposition problem rather than a game system problem i.e. your time > whatever the sell cost of the items you could pick up. Isn't Blizzard upping the value of the Archeology trash items for this very reason?
Having said all that, aoe looting via a window that aggregates all your available loot in the area does sound pretty sweet.

The worst is when you are like me, and you don't want to take all the loot, but there are like 5 corpses stacked on each other. How do you know if you've looted them all without taking it all?

yeah the value of items is pretty low at lower levels when you have a max level main. but even so i think a looting system that does not require so much effort/time on the user makes sense in a game full of conveniences like dual-talents and portals all over the place and such.
