Loot Auto-drop in WoD? Please fix ASAP

[Sapphic]

I instantly thought of it, and I've never played WoW.

Makes me think of the cancelled MMO from CCP based on White Wolfs World of Darkness table top RPG, and it makes me sad

I can understand the OP question. I play on PS4. When its time to loot, the screen pops up and while you are looting, you cant move your character. Also if there is multiple items to loot after each boss, and you are trying to loot and are not moving, most times you get left behind. This is very apparent during runs in CT, ST, and coil runs. PS4, if using controller, you dont have the option to move while clicking away. you have to bring up the screen, then spend time going to each item to decide if you are passing, greed, or need. while others are running to next encounter. it can be tough to do, so its understandable that if its something you dont want in the first place, that you can just not even go through the list, at least on PS4. It seems like alot of you play on pc, which is fine, but there are alot of players not playing with keyboard and mouse which i think you all need to consider before the name calling and assuming things about players.

Uh I play with controller and can move and loot at the same time, just hit select to pull open the menu while running to next area.

It's a matter of it being easy to focus too much on the actual raid and forget about the loot pool. This is particularly susceptible to happen when only one boss in the raid drops the particular thing you want, making it easier to mentally overlook what everything else drops.

So what you're saying is, you look up the loot list, you find the item you want and what boss it drops from and you want to just do the raid and let ALL the loot timer from all bosses to run out and not give you the loot except for the boss you're aiming for? You want to make everyone else who are aiming for other bosses to wait for your timer to run out? That sounds selfish to me.

And no, I've never had any unwanted loot drop into my inventory in any of the ct/st runs. Cause between running to the next destination with my controller and waiting for the raid to initiate the next fight, I have plenty of time. Move your notification window to somewhere in the middle if it's so hard to see.

unless you have an extra hand or two, that incorrect. you are using left thumb to move, therefore left hand is totally occupied. Your right hand, yes, can possibly bring up loot menu. but for you to select which one you want to roll on and to select need greed or pass while controlling character is impossible unless either you turn your controller around so that you can use the d-pad, or if you are comfortable, you can try and use the track pad on the controller.

Actually, the best thing is for people to just calm down and give people time to loot instead of running off to next area. while yes, you have 5min, but it means nothing if you take 30 sec to loot on your items just to get locked out of a fight because people rush. Some people like to look at items they are looting on and actually look at stats to see if they need said item/gear before looting, hence the 5min timer. Especially people that are new to that particular raid/dungeon and have never seen the item/gear before. why everyone wants to rush and think that if they can do something in 10 sec, then everyone should be able to is beyond me. Once again, this is a Casual MMO. Lots of people playing that don't treat it like a job or a career.

All i do is just move my hand slightly to have my index finger over the select button while still moving the left stick forward or just active auto run. Using DS3

^^^^^ while that is very intuitive of you, that still doesnt solve the problem that it is hard to do both at same time. But like I said, if people want others to loot quickly on stuff, allow them time to do so. Especially when multiple items drop at same time. Not only is it difficult to check out every single item, but if im looting on one item while another one that i looted on gets completed, it messes me up when it disappears from the window and moves everything down, effectively making you choose wrong type of looting option for wrong item. Ive had this done to me many of times. and it happens when im trying to hurry and loot before next mob/boss. hurts when im trying to pass on an item after i passed on another and when im trying to pass, it shifts and makes me pass on the item i actually wanted.

If you're gonna keep using this on everything, then it should apply to your side too. Get the wrong loot? Be casual and take it easy. There's always next week.

Also, it's not impossible to roll on loot while moving. You can auto run and just steer when you need to turn and roll on loot. You can also claw and roll on loot while manually steering the analog. You are also probably exaggerating on people rushing. Every time I run these raids, it's almost always waiting on people who should be initiating the fight (and aren't, despite everyone already getting in the arena) and everyone just stands around just looking at each other. You can even just get into the next fight arena first and then spend 10 seconds to roll on loot as people start the fight and start fighting and most people won't even care.

^^^^^while its nice trying to reverse what im saying to fit your argument, truth is that you just justified that unless you do something awkward, you can only do both if the group you are with is not rushing. And this doesnt just apply to end game raids. when you are in a regular 4 man dungeon and you are "NEW" to the game and dungeon and you happen to get speedrunners in your party, it puts you in a tough spot to hurry and roll while trying to check out what you are rolling on while other players are rushing. Like I said, its casual MMO, so why rush?
