Loot roll popup order

Not sure what happened with the order of rolling on loot but when someone picks up a new item to be rolled on it should be added to the bottom of the list not the top.

With the current system people are constantly getting messed up on rolls. For example, you just killed Valindra and someone picks up the crappy blue item for another class. As you go to click greed or pass someone picks up the shard artifact. The shard moves to the top of the list and bam you just rolled greed or pass on the most expensive, hard to get item in the game. Not to mention the damage done to the computer and anything else in the immediately vicinity when said player vents his/her frustration.

The bug is further compounded by the loot roll popup disappearing bug. As you now want to roll as fast as possible before the item disappears and you get no chance to roll at all.

Of course, people looting in the middle of combat makes both these bugs so much more fun. A crime that should result in said player being immediately one shotted and reverted back to level 1. But then I digress.

    Have posted this also already, this is major annoying. I missed some blue items and shards because of this. Don't know why they changed the order from new to old now.

    This should no.1 on the list of fixes. It's a major PITA, i've also lot epic items because of this bug/change, and i'm not the only one with this. When going with guildies, it's not a big problem, since we started looting things 1 by 1 since module 2, because the moment a loot result window appears the loot roll window disappears, but if your pugging, you will end up loosing at least 1 roll, because someone looting at the wrong moment, or looting more than 1 items at a time, i've lost t1/t2 set pieces thx to this bug.

    Also the reversed loot order causes a lot of lost loot rolls because greeding or passing on blue items, eg shards, and what's even worse someone needing on epics on a greed run.

    I've also reported this several times, here on forum and even in-game, but still nothing. Would love to know if anyone is looking into this.

    /agree newly picked up loot needs to be on the bottom, AND fix the missing loot rolls!! Shouldn't be going on for a 3rd week in a row... I mean this is one of the main reasons we play to get LOOT! :D

    . . . . . I totally agree. This needs to be fixed and changed back to the way it was. I am continually rolling Need, Greed, or Passing on things I didn't intend to because the moment before I hit the button, something else gets placed on top.

    . . . . . Additionally, I am noticing things disappearing from the loot roll list and when I check the loot roll logs, some were able to roll on it before it vanishes while other times no one does but no matter what, these items that vanish are just GONE! There is no log showing who won them and no one in the party acquires them and they do not appear on the ground like items do when everyone passes. They just completely vanish!

    There have already been several urgent bug reports on the many Shadowmantle loot roll issues, including one of mine. I have also put a note on the latest patch notes thread on Preview.

    Unfortunately, in no instance mentioned so far has there been any kind of acknowledgement of this serious set of problems.

    this bug is still on going a month later if ppl rolling for loot isn't the top priority of the any game then something is very wrong with the dev's. Several guildies climbed all over me because I looted the shard and the epic item in Karr at the same time . I was gone from the game for a month or so and this kind of HAMSTER is not inspiring me to stick around. I really feel bad for all the ppl that have been playing with this issue for more than a MONTH. Hope it gets fixed soon.

    . . .Closing this as today's patch should have fixed this. If it still occurs after that, please feel free to make a new thread.
