So while watching more videos. (Awesome btw! thank you so much Trion!) I see ammo and blue items on the ground.
Do players have to scramble for it fighting to see who gets to it first? Or is loot more like how Diablo 3 has made it with everyone seeing only their loot and their ammo so to not create griefing or stealing of items earned?
i dont think how loot works has been made public yet, although i could have sworn they hinted at personal loot but to what depth *shrug*, my guess is that ammo will be shared while items will be personal.
Q: How will the looting be handled? What kind of loot can you expect?
A: Basically you kill a enemy, they explode as they like to call a "Loot Pinata." They will drop such things as "scrip"(I think that's what the devs called it). ammo, shields and weapons. Some of them like the bits and ammo will auto pickup. Where as the shields and weapons you will need to press a button to pick them up.
Thansk Rok and Sarcon,
I akways have a fear of playing a sniper class if loot is not independent. Since you sit way in the back, the boss dies, and everyone up close steals it all before you can get to it. So my hopes are the loot is either shared and or specific to each individuals screen.
they confirm it in a livestream that the loot is individual loot =DQuote:

Well I agree with you but it just makes trading much more necessary if it did, without it, it may as well be just rewards for missions since you will get the same things. After watching all the live streams as well there is many, many times they just leave loot behind because there is a extreme amount of drops. So I don't think it would be all that bad.Quote:

It's the common stuff you'll see more accessible to most of the surrounding players. So long as you are involved in the kill, I'm ok with it. If it's rare, I'd like to see a roll system where everyone who hit the creature (or does the majority damage), gets a fair shot at the item.Quote:
