you are entitled to your opinion on the rest of your statement but this is just false.
I can eat soup with a fork, but does that mean i shouldnt ask for a spoon?
this is some alex-jones level conspiracy theory jumping. You’re just messing with everyone now huh? lol.
He can’t be serious.
It will, that is what comes next. The amount of division this small group of people cause in the game, and in the forums is astounding, it really is. I just don’t understand why Blizzard even considers caving to it? Maybe it is just because they don’t want hassle?
A person can only flag a post once. Further, you can’t see who did it. The Blizzard mods are the ones who decide to either take action or un-grey the post. Even if it gets deleted, that is just a light warning. They only suspend if they think you need a smack on the hand to remind you of the rules.
They are right, discussing specific account actions related to forum moderation is against the rules.
Also, if you are heated and angry, consider taking a break please. I know opinions and emotions run high on this because we all really really love the game.
Not worth getting in trouble over though - ANY OF YOU!
I can’t turn this car around, but you get the idea.
Hi MissCheetah, how goes the day?
This is not false. Every player in that game has the same exact chance of pressing that loot when it drops. What variables are making it so that you can’t get as close to the drop as me and clicking it? We literally all see the same EXACT thing happening at the same EXACT time. Are your hands slower than mine, do you have a physical thing stopping you from pressing the item?
I am currently just giving a look of disapproval at the thread.
Otherwise, STORMS! Just hot, humid, and full of T storms.
But on the good side I picked a lot of tomatoes today and should be able to do another batch of home made roasted tomato sauce this week.
If I am lucky most of them will ripen and I can process them before D2R releases! I want my time free for that.
It’s not necessarily that in my opinion, but a desire to keep all of the loot that drops. There was another person for ploot yesterday or the day before, and he said that any game he hosts, so a public game he started, the game should be where he gets first dibs on anything that drops and five seconds after, it unlocks for others to pick up. I think this gets to the heart of why people want ploot, because they go into public games, and are incensed that there are other players picking things up, that they feel, should all belong to them.

Distance from the dropped item can prevent someone from clicking. This impacts ranged chars. They have to change position to get closer first, not just click.
Second is latency/lag. Not everyone has the same connection so reaction times vary based on that too. Depending on where you live you may always be seeing whatever happens in game after others. Just how it has always been.
still not true.
i’ll break it down for you.
nope your ping and fps determine when you see the item so someone with a bad ping will actually be delayed in seeing it and then even if they click it will be delayed to register it.
might be, though not me personally my brother-in-law has muscular dystrophy though and yes it does prevent him from pressing the button as fast as someone without a disease.
As for me i have hearing complications which means i have a slower reaction time because i have to see the drop and i can’t know that it happened based on sound.
that also doesn’t account for the hacks people use to “click” items faster.
and simply put a ton of anti-personal loot advocates will tell you that yes some people just click faster than others which would absolutely make the odds more in their favor.
So because you picked a RANGED character, 100% knowing that you are not getting close to monsters, or because you have slow internet that the whole entire LOOT system that has worked flawlessly for 20+ years should change? You go into this game knowing the chances of you getting loot in a public game is low, yet you still want it to be “fair” for everyone? The easiest way to make it fair for all 8 players is giving them all the chance at it when it drops.
it hasn’t worked flawlessly if it had no one would be asking for changes and those things would have been taken into account. it has worked but there has been flaws.
To add, D2 has many animation locking skills such as Zeal and Strafe. You can’t exactly get out of animation lock if a drop is at your feet. However, a single teleport from a Sorc or Enigma that doesn’t have these issues, has the advantage. (Had a sorc grab a Hoz one time back in the day while I was in mid zeal animation). There is only the illusion of fair play with FFA loot, but there are a ton of nuances that add to the variables.
Thank you, this gets at the heart of the difference in generations I think. The more gen Z types ask what the community can do for them - IE ploot for example - something that benefits them, whereas those of us who they call “purists”, ask what we can do to make DIablo II Resurrected a great game with long life.
Your preamble shows that the entire loot system does not work flawlessly.
The loot system has worked and will continue to work. You guys are so hard bent on having a % chance at everything that drops when the highest chance you have is the item being there for EVERYONE to drop. Please go do a p8 game on plugy and see how little amount of decent or god forbid a unique drops. Then come back and tell me that the system is not working as it should be.
oh god no you are killing me. if and absolutely only if, and god forbid it. than it should be something like the game creator decides and everyone looking at the game can see its ploot so we can avoid them… the entire game/instance. but still god insert God no meme here
Please name any flaws, ones that don’t have to do with personal hardware, being personally slow.
But the beauty of this is you don’t have to choose to use ploot mode. It has no affect on you. Others might enjoy that style of play. When the only option for public games is to compete with scripts, there is a problem that needs to be addressed. This does that, but in a passive manner. That might be attractive to Blizzard. I would prefer all scripts to simply be eliminated, but that’s just not feasible.
