Any chance for a Loot Auto-split?

Post by fitzrpg »

In groups of more than 2 people, this would be a big help. I'm finding it a pain to keep track of whose turn it is to loot and somebody forgetting leads to hurt feelings.

Any chance you can add a button for 'random loot' on the quartering box, or maybe give the team leader the option so that if any group member quarters the mob, it will be split automatically?

I would very much like to see this sort of option so that no matter who opens the corpse, it still opens the loot window for the proper person who's turn it is to loot. People can hop up and down saying that a better group is all that is needed, but having ranged and support classes running up to loot stuff can often be a severe hinderance to a group... because of that you will often find said classes not looting to prevent being "that guy who killed the group because he was so busy trying to loot instead of doing his job"

yeah we need it big time.

I haven't had a problem but its just a hassle. We usually just have one guy loot it all and then we split the money at the end. That's not ideal though and things can happen.

Very simple thing to add... just have a round robin loot access in groups...

I mean there are already loot permissions in the game as it is... just extend that to groups so that people know whos turn it is.

This issue could also be partially resolved by allowing stack spliting in the exchange window. Then one person could loot and just distribute the loot at a later date.

I would rather have stack spliting and loot notification than some kind of auto loot distribution system. Letting the system split it works fine with money, but can cause problems with items. For exampe, I notice those eyes from the sprightly yubo are popular. Do you really want autoloot in a situation like that?

Actually, I imagine that at higher levels alot of us are going to be throwing away just about everything we loot.

I rather have it automatically go to my inventory than have one guy in the group grabbing everything in sight. Its annoying to keep track of who's turn it is to loot, especially if the group fights several different types of creatures. It is almost impossible to track what is looted if one single person loots because it stacks with those objects he already has in his inventory. So that requires the designated looter to have near empty inventories. That is just not realistic.

It is best to set autoloot to distribute. You can have options to allow players to pass on all the loot if they chose to.

I am surprised there is no autoloot feature. This would have been something I would have mentioned imediately if I was part of the focus beta group.

Again. Group notification of all looted items and the ability to split stacks. If one guy in the group is ninja looting, and not willing to split it, the entire group knows because they can see what he is looting. Once you realize the guys a greedy jerk you kick him from the group.
