Regarding item loot.

[Yukahwa]

Yeah. The more I think about it the more I think that the whole loot 1 non equipped item is a bad solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Normal item loot. If in 8 months its a problem it can be re evaluated.

True. But you could pacify the Kelethin, Freeport, Neriak etc. bank areas (personally I think you should be safe in the whole town area, but I guess the hardcore PvPers want to gank people within towns as well). People could trade in these areas.

@Rushmore: How did they handle this problem on the Altergate custom box? This seems to be the most appealing item loot rule to me and a few others.

Rogean has already stated Level 1's in cities are safe to PVP. So trading in cities on level 1 mules is safe bros. Level 1's outside the city are open to PVP!
YES PVP is open starting at level 1.

Prahadigm: On Altergate if you died anything un-equipped that wasn't no drop was up for grabs. Most times you at least got something like a pumice which was cool. It was team base though. One time someone on the good side had camped the best weapon in the game on a shaman and forgot to bank it. He went out pvping and got ganked. The guy looted his sword and equipped it right away. =D

Again, I am against any form of pvp loot but the dev's are leaning towards it pretty hard pals. This is the best compromise. I would like to see some system implemented where you can buy your way to making an item no drop (maybe a ton of pp) or something protected like 2 slots like Lasher said. An Sk will 2H all the time where as a War is going to switch between 2h and 1h's.

Or even a manastone .... EEK!
Guess you will have to equip the manastone in the primary hand!?!?

I think there are some good compromises for every situation. We just need to be vocal and work together pals to work them out.

I had to use a mana stone in my off hand. Cry more.

You guys will be singing a different tune when you get out numbered/poopsocked and beat to dragon haste/bd/diamond gear.

I agree. Any form of item loot will hurt the population in the long run.

How about a list of patch notes going into the pvp server about resists before we make any kind of educated decisions?

There's tons of player hit/resist/to hit shit messed up in that base code if I remember reading right. What has been changed/fixed?

[Pudge]

guys.. this problem of looting weapons/manastone from your bags will vanish if you:

1) limit the items that are lootable to non-lore only

2) if you place any item in an inventory slot (sacrificing an entire bag slot) it is unlootable

[Lasher]

i believe it was said you can loot from bag or inventory, i could be wrong

During a beta. Don't change the rules mid-season on your finished product that drastically.

Looting from inventory not so smart unless it can somehow limit the ability to loot weapons... creating more strange problems.

Red to me always meant droppable item loot from inventory aka droppable resist gear being a prize/risk/advantage.

[Pudge]

o i didn't mean in "2)" that it was indeed this way, only that it should be, in order to limit the gankability of manastones etc

[Lasher]

k sorry, dont pudge me please
