Just tried a controller. And yes, it is possible to grab all the loot before it lands to the ground.
I think, we should not be allowed to plug-in controller during the game, and also we should have an option to allow MKB+controller / MKB only / controller only setups on game creation.
When using a controller instead of m&k you can actually pick up the loot faster. Looting with controller picks up everything around you just by rapidly clicking the loot button… And apparently it allows you to loot the items before it even touches the ground. Which means m&k doesn’t stand a chance.
If you can give us a good reason why a optional Ploot (same amount of items - so nothing extra, simply auto-assigned loot) would break the game further, than we can talk further. BUt right now it’s the typical “As a purist i’m against it for no good reason”.
Ironically asking for an optional gamepad / mk filter yikes.
Funny… we never see console players complaining about mouse being better in first person shooters and wanting mouse to be banned from games.
Tough luck, kids… Controller is better in this game just like mouse is better in FPS.
Not only you can loot an entire room in an instant, but it’s also provide complete accuracy and better mobility. Everything is better in this game with a controller except inventory management. You can much easier dodge projectiles, you can never missclick an enemy and miss an attack… even if the enemy is fast you don’t have to click on it to attack… you lock on it automatically and never shoot off target.
Let’s please not go back there… ploot is not part of d2 neither of d2r, never was and never should be.
It splits the public games (even more) and the problem here is that looting with controller is broken, D2 was designed to play with mouse and keyboard. There is no room for arguements or whatsoever.
