Imagine this. Loot is not shared and everyone gets their own drops. Suddenly there’s a reason to mf together instead of solo. Parties of 8 meet up and do mf runs together. Drops are based only on your own mf chance no matter who gets the kill. What’s the current arguments against individual Loot drops?

One arguments is that all the loot that comes from MP games is increased by 8x, flooding the market with items.
Terrible idea.
Example:
Had a War travs drop in a cow game.
Same for a Waterwalks.
Both taken by other players.
Joke’s on them, cause I grabbed the Jah rune that dropped in the following cow game.
Was rather satisfying.
You don’t get to, nor will you ever, experience such satisfaction with shared loot.
Just go back to D3 where you belong.
Why shared loot= Go to d3?
No one want to play that. No one play d2 over d3 for the loot system.
Agree that the free for all on multi is bad. Thats why online everyone mf his own zone alone. On cows l just tele far away from everyone and kill mobs chill.
Try to grab loot with a bowazon good luck.
So choice for the game is : get more loot for everyone or play alone.
Not sure how to negate the problem of too much drop that destroy the value of everything if shared loot… So free for all it is …
not really inclusive
FFA is absolutely inclusive.
Everyone has an opportunity to grab that random HR, Mara’s, Tal’ armor, ik armor, etc.
I think you might have severe tunnel vision, friend.
Mayby inclusive ins’t the good word. English isn’t my language. Lets say it doesn’t encourage teamwork.
Why would l want to play close to others player for them to pick the gg drop? Will just join high players mf games and kill mobs on my own… its no different than single player.
Could see me play occasionnaly with a melee build or tele build close to others but lets say a javazon or bowazon no chance at all for theses characters.
Now l’m not new to this game and shared loot shouldn’t be a feature in it for obvious reasons. Its not build for it. But free for all loot does make alot of players play by themselves and not chill in team.
For me atleast the loot system is the only not so great thing in the best game ever.
Play with friends if you want dibs.

Just.
Go.
Play.
Diablo 3.
You clearly want a game with absolutely no reason to communicate, trade, or even bother playing with others.
Just go play D3.
The mentality of “I got something that someone else didn’t get” is kind of scary. And everyone ignore trashman, he’s just a troll on every comment.
Saturating the market might be a problem tho I didn’t even know d2r Xbox had a market haha.

I’d be happy to get a jah rune with individual loot or shares loot.
I’d be mad to see a jah get nabbed. Been playing Diablo 2 since the old days and don’t like d3. Fail to see your point.
Custom games toggle loot options? Let’s see what happens.

Hahaha play d3 is ur argument? Weak bro
U should have said play single player.
To which would have said done that for a decade. online for trade and playing with friends so again too much assumptions on your part.
Also could have talked about a lower non drop chance on normal mobs when teamed up. To which it is easy to say: the difference between 8 players all solo on different aeras and 8 players in the same screen is 15 % vs 3% non drop but again divide the drop by 8 players and good luck when all teamed up. No difference in drops from champions or superuniques on players 1 vs 8.
In conclusion ur better off playing by urself and the number of hr l’v dropped support that argument (multiple ber, jah, Lo, ohms)
Have fun fighting for gg drops
“haha i dont like this guy’s opinion, lol must be a troll”
Yeah friend, i don’t understand this mentality either.
And you talk of “”“inclusive”"" loot.
Wrong, that’s exclusive.
Trading would be worthless.
multiplayer would be worthless.
higher drop rates are just bad - you literally dont need your “hand held” by having uniques and sets thrown your way every minute.
Do you guys even think?
Doubt it.
That could happen… With the idea i just had
Solo leaderboards!!!
One thing they could add that bring a lot is a leaderboard online only for solo players with the /players difficulties… Those would be isolated like an hardcore char from the softcore ones… Gg easy peasy Solo leaderboards!!
Basically solo online chars with a leaderboard…
Just to Compete but solo…
Many of the other things people ask would be resolved with this implementation without touching the D2 original formula…
I would finally consider taking part on a Season because after 4000 hours solo on battle net i didn’t achieve yet an infinity or an enigma… And level 99 is just a mirage
THIS would change D2 4 ever for the better and include players excluded from a part of the game
If you have played 4,000 hrs and don’t have high runes or a lvl 99 what have you been doing?
4000 hours is hella long. “What have you been doing” is a valid question.
And trash, the varying opinion is literally what I’m asking for. The troll part is “go play another game” and “do you guys even think”.
Not everybody has all the time in the world to grind for gear but they still want to play with their friends online worth everything the game has to offer. Giving the more laid back people a place to do that would widen the player base.
Edit: formatting and punctuation
I understand your perspective of not everyone wanting to grind countless hours but I think that part is so ingrained into D2. This is why they should bring back LAN. I think that would probably be the best of all worlds. Battlenet will remain as is and people can play with their friends with the parameters they want in LAN. Just my 2 cents
Well, where’s the fun in that?
Tbf I never said anything other than individual loot is fine. I do t understand why some people lose their minds when a 20 year old game is suggested a change.
Like do you still work at your first job. Are you still in your parents home? Are you still with your first partner. Dam dude change something could be good.
But whatever most of us who will appreciate changes may most likely end up on Diablo 4. Not wanting to return to the same twenty years old loop.
Then you’ll be surrounded by a bunch of bots farming gear to sell and a select few players solo mfing and smashing their face into baals throne like lod2
individual loot is awful.
it kills off any reason to trade (look at d3, loot dropped is catered to the class you’re playing).
it kills off any reason to communicate.
you might as well say you want d3 with a coating of d2 painted over.
Which is very bad.
Ok I get the point with it being catered to your class. I wouldn’t ask for that because then you are right. It would kill trading.
But still I don’t think individual drops would kill trading. Especially if you still got things for other builds and classes.
Sites that sell gear are far worse.
