Drop length

[Brewfus]

Please for the love of every thing cute and cuddly increase the length of time a drop becomes free for all or better yet make it so noone can pick it up other than the person who killed the mob.

So thrustrating as a ranged caster while in combo to suddenly have a passer by ninja your drops.

annoys me so much it causes me to use language my neighbours would complain about

Its not so much the timedrops disappears thats fine, but 5- 10 seconds till drops are ffa is border line insane.

So to keep my blood presure stable and stress levels low do something please!

Rant over

Yeah and when big pile of cash drops, you only have time to pick half of them and everyone charges to your drop.

I put the 'pick up' skill in my skillbar, this way you can pick up items while continuing your combo (as long you are in range of your drops).

[solomonar]

why shout the drop goes to the killer of the mob ? It is good as it si right now. if you make 99% dmg to a mob and another player just hit once (KS you) and a force/upgrade core drops or anything high, and you can't get it then.. because the last hit was to the ppl that done 1%dmg ...what do you do ? i think that you will smash your head on the keyboard. So it's ok the way it is now.

[Zensabre]

yeah right whatever. you are just about to do an insane combo and kill that damn mob (which has a huge load of hitpoints) and you will have to cancel the combo just because some mofo leechs on your drops...NICE!

As i said.. using the skillbar with the 'pickup' skill you can use that during combo's. I even did a 11 combo 3 kill while picking up a 'jackpot' drop, control and focus is key.

As for solomonar, its not about who gets it, its about the duration that it 'is yours'. I believe its only a few seconds untill someone else can pick your drop, as the starter says if he's in the middle of a combo the time is ticking and a bypasser nicks his loots.

[solomonar]

why stop ? you can hit space to get the drop from the mod death instantly in the middle of a combo.

***.. come on i make 5 combos on a mob with so much life and at 99% a noob comes and KS me and he will take the drop. LOL get real ppl

[AirFrost]

if your money falls on the ground it won't take long till somebody comes and picks it up
if PILES of your money falls on the ground be sure it will disappear fast
so? if it works in the real life, why wouldn't it work in the game 2

Or you just can hit the spacebar(many times) to pick up alz "jackpot" during combo.

So thrustrating

But seriously..

The length of time should be increased (you can't guarantee picking up all of a jackpot drop for instance - it will always become free for all before you can pick up even half of the gold)

However, you certainly shouldn't make it so only the drop owner can pick it up for ever. I frequently find mobs with only 25% health left with nobody around. I'll kill them and be unable to pick up their drops until they become free (because someone else did most of the damage)

How much would it suck if you got a board drop from one of those mobs but you just had to stand there and watch it expire?

Try that if you are doing nonstop magic.. aka ranged

[Alwin]

What i usually do in a combo that is ranged is to select a monster far ahead directin to the drop .

X --------- Drop ----------- Monster

X = me
Drop = drop
Monster = moster i selected.

That way my char will run towards the drop so i can pick it up and still combo

[Brewfus]

ok just to alborate this is an example there im am in combo killing mobs in 3 hits, cos im skilling up, just a few mobs about and quite a space between them, now loot drops but u dont really want to come out of combo and as no ones about u think its safe just to get enough combo to get your sp back, then just as your blatenty gonna go pick up your loot someone steals it from under your nose.

Not talking about kill stealing got nothing to do with what this is about so why its been brought up ive no idea but anyway.

just to say i use space bar and can loot jackpots in a few seconds but as ranged class positioning your self over the loot in the exmple above is impossible.

what im getting at is im putting the effort in for the loot just for some bleeper to come steal it, if it was just a single money drop fine not to bothered but stuff like cores and rare stuff.....
ok not a big deal as rl life if you just brought a new car with your hard earned cash only for some punk to steal it, but u still feel down about it or in my case angry and tbh i dont wanna feel angry at people in games.

@alwin yeah some cases that can happen

@ solomonar i did say or better yet impling that imo would be better but the lengh of time increased would do :P even just 30-40 secs rather than the 5-10 seconds it is now
