Suggestion: set your own loot threshold

donnyth · June 2016

Each player should be able to set his own loot threshold. This solves the party leader having to do any kind of fiddling with loot each time they make a party. It also solves people who like ninja items and change settings when people aren't noticing.

Party of three people, Player A has threshold set to Uncommon (Green), Player B to Rare (Blue), and Player C to Very Rare (Purple).

A green item drops, Player A just gets it as the other two are higher than Green and so auto skip? A blue item drops, only Player A and B roll for it, Player C auto skips? A purple item drops and all three players get roll options?

Is that how you meant the system to work? If so, I guess I could see that working... though not sure how that would work with the various loot distribution settings.

... no, if you set your threshold for blue items, you will only roll on blue and higher items for all dungeons until you change it. If you want green and higher items you just change to green. This makes it so much easier. If you're in a party, and you only want blue items, you will pass on all green and lower items.

That is what I said... is it not?

i so often wanted to have this but...

imagine you are doing lair of lostmouth, afaik there is still the rollable horn that drops, so players a and b lose the chance to roll on 350k ad, or have to switch before boss, or blue insignias, there is simply a very broad range of item value that is not color dependant.

What I don't understand is why you can't seem to change the loot threshold when in a dungeon. Whenever I try to set the threshold higher than the default of 'green' I get a message in chat saying it was changed, along with an error saying it can't be changed!

Of course, since I am new there is a good chance I am simply missing something somewhere!

The horn has been a independent drop now for some time. The only boss loot that can be rolled on now is insignias

No.

Actually you did. I'm just being difficult.

Oh having an auto roll option would be amazing! No more watching my screen fill up with dungeon loot like a windows 97 desktop in the middle of combat. Set your options for each level and let the RNG do the work. That would be so nice.

If you press ESC and select "Rearrange HUD" then move the "Notification Windows" off to the side, below your stat portrait for example, it will at least stop flooding the middle of your screen during combat!

Though this only moves the results of loot rolls, not the actual Need, Greed or Pass dialoge option!

Been wondering about same thing for 2 years at least... no idea why they disabled it for dungeons and such. Only works outside the instances when y just questing in zones for example. In any instance y can't change the loot rules even for premades

nice on the horn, and as i am all packed up with the right blue insignias i would love a option to not see every green/blue item that gets picked up, specially as a melee tank who has limited view space to have 2-3 rolls going on and uses the numpad so actual rolling takes me off my action keys. +1 for the suggestion.

Better idea: Personal loot across the board, including boss drops. Get rid of Need/Greed/Pass altogether. I despise Need/Greed.

wildfirede · July 2016

me too, but it gives the players the feeling of more drops.

This has been resolved in a recent patch, you don't roll on green loot any more at least not in skirmishes for sure which is an absolute godsend.
