New Loot System

Yes, but the new fatm will be complaining about loot from those boxes...

Ok my question is this. I'm running through a Tier 5 Alert/Operation as a Healer. We just defeat the final boss and I get a piece of Controller gear. This gear is something the controller in our group really needs. Could I trade this piece of gear (which is worthless to me) to the controller in the group?

I think that would be awesome if there was the time limit on these drops that allows for them to be traded only to the group members in that run.

So the loot box only contains a mark sometimes? Lame.

So is it gonna be the same amount of just randomly distributed? The more I read about it sounds like the devs are just turning loot to round robin setting which would suck. I'm just curious is it possible for the whole group to get an 87 or 88 drop or is it gonna be 1 person gets a random piece they can't use? Sounds like they're making loot even more rare but I'm not sure

Can you confirm if focusing elements will be a part of the loot table for boxes? It would be nice to exclude them from boxes, but up the drop rate in the salvage table. Just a thought.

This is gonna suck...

Well then the system sounds like the equivalent of everyone just rolling greed on everything and getting unusable pieces of crap, if you excuse my language.

I really hope people on the test server do their job an test this to their limits then.

I won't comment on how it sounds in theory.
Hopefully the idea will be to make some more of the droppable gear unattuned
Not sure how many people would reset say nexus if their box has higher odds of having dps then their actual role.

I've seen like just about every dps running nexus and paradox have some sort of 87 gear, but a healer?
I've seen 1 with an 87 piece.
If those odds are still present in the boxes as Im to understand this won't do much to make the angry crowd happier.

Still think this is an awful idea. It's ruining things for people who play with a consistent group of people so now they cannot come to an agreement about what they really need and what they're willing to pass on.

Not only that but what about that one player (like me) who NEVER gets rare drops but is instead stuck getting trash loot or random pieces of gear that I already have or simply don't need.

Maybe you guys should consider a system where within the confines of a raid people can opt to trade their loot from a certain boss to another player for the loot they received from that boss.

Wanna nip one big problem in the bud Devs? Just set every piece of gear that's gonna drop in these boxes to unattuned. This will stop about 85% of the complaints that are sure to come from this.

Hey, at least it gives us something to laugh about people fighting over trash

Hey, I want my trash, OK, lol.

If everyone receive what they wanted. Then the DLC life span will only last 1 - 2 weeks. Everyone would have completed the style sets, and will stop running high tier level content. Start crying on the forums to the devs, saying we need new content.

Do we still get marks in the boxes or is that random too? My question is, in the current loot system(I'm on USPS3) we get I think 5 marks of reality from doing the T5 operations. Will we still be getting 5 marks AND the loot boxes? Or will the random loot be random such that we may get only gear and no marks from the alerts/raids/ops?

Can someone on the test server answer my question in case I am right and that the devs are allergic to me? I never seen them reply to my posts...

You get the marks and the drop item goes right into your inventory (there is no box to open). Think of it just like you were running the duo/alert/raid solo. So you'll get the 5 marks and a piece of loot from each boss (plus an additional chance at any 'bonus' drops such as plans, base items, utility belts and iconics).

You might be confusing this with the way that the Raven bounty and the solo side-bosses in the new duos work. There, you get a reward box when you complete the mission in your journal. That reward box can contain either a Mark of Reality or a mission that grants you your choice of armor in the corresponding style.

you get marks like it is now. But when loot drops from bosses/sub bosses all the loot goes to your inventory so theres no box.

I like the logic in this, but with this new system it still seems like I'm getting ninja looted virtually every drop in every raid, rather than taking a small chance at getting ninja looted when something I need drops running with strangers.
