DEV REQUEST: Individual loot

[AzraelX]

Is there anyway we can get individual loot into the game so therefore everyone leaves the instance with something even it random? similar to DCUO

So instead of rolling on loot- all that loot would go to your inventory. Everyone gets different loot but it is all theirs. So if we beat a boss and 4 items drop then all all 4 items will go to each person- but people would receive different items

What do you guys think?

Same like WoW?

I never played WoW - how do they do it?

Current system is every boss drop loot, but random gear and we need to roll.
In WoW personal loot you have a some % chance that you have a loot from boss individually based from your class and role in that time.
In short after you kill boss either you have loot drop or not, if yes it goes straight to your inventory.

Never played WoW, that's a pretty interesting system. Reminds me of one of the few things in TESO that i would like to see implemented anywhere else.

In that game in some events like say the open world Anchor fights, after the battle a chest is dropped. Depending on how much you contributed, you will see the chest or you wont. If you earned access to it, the chest will have some decent random loot in it. And everyone who has access to it gets their own loot from the chest.

Personally, i'd be fine with an addition like something this or some iteration thereof.

They are changing the loot system in 3.0... from what I understand primals will be dropping tokens(I assume alongside normal loot)(each person will automatically get a token from what I understood) so if you don't get what you want after what was it 10 runs you can trade in the tokens. From what I understand Alexander normal will be more like the towers with 1 loot/floor(?)/week/person - runable as much as you want - I don't believe they've detailed the savage mode Alexander loot yet(could be mistaken).

Wouldn't mind having an extra chest that is individual loot though - with a bit larger loot pool.

The issue with the system was that your initial drop percentage was really low (though it did gradually grow higher each consecutive fail from what I hear). If it failed you got a pitiful amount of gold. Not even close to enough for repairs. People looked at it this way: Master Loot guaranteed ~2-3 pieces of loot dropping from a raid boss, but with personal loot, there was a chance all people could get loot, or nobody could get loot.
On top of that, let's say you have 2 people in the same raid, one really low geared and one really high geared. The low geared one NEEDS the loot but personal loot dictated otherwise and thus the better geared player now has a piece of loot that's only good for disenchanting. This hurts progression slightly when you need the lower geared person's DPS to pick up, but they can never get gear

Granted that's how WoW implemented the system. That probably won't be at all how SE implements it, but first I want to see reception to the new Master loot and All Greed systems

Snip

yeah I have read about that also, there will be a currency system.
I think SE make that to give the casual player to play with their own pace.

Because with the RNG loot systems, casual player have a low chance to earn a what they want, unlike hardcore player they can farm all day long. With currency like that, I think casual player can have things what they want, it just take some times.

This is what I thought.

[Whiteroom]

I thought that was terrible when they introduced that to dcuo. Still do. All it ended up being was a gateway to people crying fornall th extra loot to be rolledso everyone could gear up in a day.

2 pieces between 8 people, getting rolled on becomes
8 pieces distributed to 8 people randomly, becomes
8 pieces rolled on between 8 people.

Really the request is just an "I want it now!" Request.

So much of this game's longevity is based on you having to redo content over and over and over and over and over and over until you get the loot. If everybody got loot from a dungeon/raid/trial, every time they ran it, they would gear up much faster. There would be less reason to re-run that instance.
