Permanent Loot Allocation ... for .. why?

Wow lol, people are STILL QQing about the loot system? Jesus, GGG did not remove the old system, they simply ADD additional options. So everyone should be happy, people wants to play FFA, can still play FFA with OTHERS with similar interest, you can JOIN or CREATE your own FFA game. Why do you have cry about how OTHER want to play their game, if they want to play perma allocation, then so be it, what's with all the talk "but it takes away from the game, bla bla bla, FFA is about making better and wiser choices, blabla, you need quicker reaction blabla, giving more allocation choices takes away choices" WHO CARES, you play how you want to play, and let others play how they want to play.

Just worry about yourself, play your FFA with all others who like FFA, you are given the option to do it, and stop worrying about everyone else.

You mentioned the "disadvantage" of people chosing a safer playstyle. .

Safer play style means.


Make character with no survival aspects while hiding off screen spamming totems/ranged attacks.

Cool....



Ok I want options for easy 6 links.. Quick respects too. Its my play style.

Yup, you can go ahead and start a new thread to make those request in feedback forum, that's what they're for, you can title "i want easy 6 links", and you can make another thread "i want unlimited respect", and if you have over 50% of the community agreeing with you, GGG might make that change. It's exactly what happened with loot allocation! Cheers!

But I still don't understand, why do you care if someone else is hiding off screen spamming totems / ranged attack? Why would you care if someone plays as a summoner, why do you care if someone is playing melee? You just worry about how you want to play your character, and let other people play theirs, everyone's definitely of "fun" is different

People who claimed to have liked FFA but don't use it now were never in it for the fun or competition. They are now using permanent like the rest of us but continue to whine about it. Hypocrites.

Ninja? Short Allocation gives you the chance to pick up your item UNCONTESTED. If you dont do it in a set amount of time you didnt deserve it, simple as that. You dont even get what ninjaing means.

And that´s exactly why I DO like the perma allocation.
With Short allocation, the group was always scared around the map, some people always running ahead, because they wanted to be the first to see the loot, and be able to grab it, before others could get it. Some people were just runnig around the map to open the chests first, and some were just standing a screen or two away BEHIND the group beside a portal scroll, waiting for the allocation to wear off... ^^
Now people are not so concerned about the loot anymore, and they actually fight the mobs together.. and that´s a good thing ^^

dude, there is already one official topic covering loot-system:
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/392
Come there so I can add you to the most monumental only-ffa-lovers stupidity quotes

I don't have to much to say on this point, but I don't whole heartly like the new loot options. Yes it's an option but I prefered the compromise they came up with to satisfy both parties. Where it was partially timed, so people still had the chance but so did everyone else.

The way I saw it, is that sometimes you will miss your item and someone else will get it, but sometimes you will get someone elses item, so in the end it worked out anyway. I guess the demand for the loot options were to great to not implement, thus people would turn away or not try the game because of said option not being in the game.

FFA was so fun, there's nothing like stopping other players from getting better gear because you're a greedy asshole. : )

exactly that. Because you know that your item will remain yours, you stay and finish off the mobs before going head-long in the fray just for a transmute or whatever...As a result the fight takes less time because most people (i've played with) will finish everything off then loot instead of stopping in between each drop.

The only competition right now is about 6S and chromatics. Which is also fun in its own way. But it doesnt disrupt the flow of the battle nearly as much as other loot options do..


Then again it all depends on who you play with. With friends it doesn't matter what loot option it is if you have a system that's working.

Get the feeling the op is only interested in profiting from others 'incompetence'.

Maybe they should make it so that if the person an item is allocated to fails to pick it up in time it just stays on the ground unable to be picked up by anyone.

That would be amusing.
