one more question i hope lance will answer. loot is personal (which is cool), but will everyone get the same item drop for them. lets say ultra cool xxx gun drops, will everyone who took part in the combat get ultra cool xxx gun, or will 1 person get that, the next get semi cool gun x, and another person get ultra cool gun ***?

my concern is everyone gets the same drop, it will lessen the rareity if several drop.

thanks guys that's why I stopped playing DC crappyverse

[Archangel]

this was my similar question. Are the loot tables individual or grouped.

So do we have ninja looters? or does everyone get the same gun if it drops? or does what drops differ between the players and some sort of item find or magic find?

We're still fiddling with things - but for now, the only loot you can collect is the loot that is available to you. (So there is no ninja looting)

I hate to dig this up seeing as we have two threads on it but people are still arguing over this. So I am asking you Lance is there anyway you can get a direct definitive answer from a dev for us?

For example you are saying that all the loot is independent. Where as several devs in the streams have all said different things. I will list them below

• Basically you kill a enemy, they explode as they like to call a "Loot Pinata." They will drop such things as "scrip," 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.
  
  
• Looting is more of a contribution system, you have to be participating in the fight to get the loot. We have tried to make it so you wont ever feel like your doing all the work, or some random dude who just drove by and ninja's stuff.
  
  
• All currency and gear will be shared. So everyone has the option to get it.

These are 3 separate answers from different devs and are really causing even more confusion with your's in the mix. I completely understand it has probably changed many times but that last one is one of the more recent streams.

I just want to make sure we are putting the exact answer in the FAQ so everyone can be happy.

In the last publicly released Trion Worlds Twitch Live Feed on Feb 1st, in the Defiance section of the feed, dev stated that the loot system was set up to where loot from your solo kills cannot be looted by others, and group kills will be shared equally. Did not elaborate further on how the shared loot is shared.

I believe they are intentionally keeping the rest vague in case they need to tweak it, and Beta and Alpha testers aren't allowed to elaborate further either due to the non-disclosure agreement, but at least they are doing something to curb the ninja looters.

Alright then our "The game used a system of shared loot. What you kill becomes shared among your group. If you are solo and you kill something, you do not need to be worried about someone else coming along and taking your rare items. Some common loot is shared among all involved based upon your involvement in the kill." is accurate. I've watched the streams so many times my head is boiling.

one more loot style question i want to know is, how long will loot be left on the ground? if i die and have to run back (not actually sure on what happens with deaths yet) do i have chance to get back to it before it goes? or even if im ina massive boss fight i dont exactly wanto be worrying about running around picking stuff up because it will de-spawn

Ahh so basically this -

How long will loot take to despawn? < Easiest form lol

Or

What is the despawn time before loot will disappear?

I don't think I've seen such a question asked around so I'll add it to my list to ask the devs during live stream.
