Prevent Loot from Displaying in General Chat

[Palmetto]

Normally I don't mind my loot being displayed in general chat, but when the "are you going to use that" guy is in the group I would rather my loot remain hidden. All we need is a display loot on/off switch.

They can still see in the chest

They can still see in the chest

Not if I am the first to open the chest and I loot it very quickly.

Also, I could be the slow poke and loot the chest after everyone has left the room.

easy answer: "yeah"

if you are having a hard time saying "no" to someone, for an item you might consider using, tell them you might consider using it, so get with you at the end of th eadventure, when you have time to look at it, and think whether you actually want to trade, or pass it to another character of yours.

I don't think dev time should be devoted to something that can be settled with a one word answer in party chat.

And I have a hard time telling people "no", myself.

P.S.: I usually say "I have an alt that can use it" as my default answer to those questions.

easy answer: "yeah"

Usually my answer would be "**** yes, and don't ****ing ask me again!" However, that brings its own bagage, so an on/off switch would be the best solution.

Please don't do that. I like seeing what others pull

I like to see what other people pulled as well, I never ask for items unless they are wands/spell components that my current char can use. I'd like to see what people pull so people cant say "sweet, I got a tome, I got a vorpal! +5 Mith FP!" three chests in a row, i mean if you cant see what hes pulling, he could be lying <.< I want proof of good pulls

Me too... In the "good chests" such as the dragon chests I often wait and watch the chests to see what others get so you can celebrate with them... Even if I don't get a scale, it was worth the work if SOMEONE did. That's part of D&D for me...

[Impaqt]

I never ask for anything. Period. Its downright rude. If I see Something drop I'll send a tell to the pwerson asking if he wants to trade it.

As for wands and spell Componants... If they dont Move it over in the chest to you, then chances are they feel they can use it. So I dont bother with that stuff either.

[Eladiun]

Ya, know this may be the most selfish ridiculous request ever. People ask me for stuff I get in chests and I don't want that. It's my stuff you can't have it and I don't want the cleric to know I'm hording the cure wand I just pulled. Come on this is suppose to be a social game...

I give stuff away all the time, especially on my lowbies... If someone in the party needs something and it's just vendor junk to me I'll trade or give that item for free. In the end, I benefit anyway because the party is better. If your too much of a wimp to handle telling an anonymous stranger, "No, I have an alt that can really use that whajmahousy." then play dumb and ignore them.

I for one like seeing what the party got. When something really cool is pulled most times you hear ooohs, ahhhs and grats not can i have it.

that's assuming that they remember the new system, I rarely ever see it being used. a few times with my cleric the person pulled the item fro mthe chest and gave it to me without me saying a thing.

Then why is there a "solo" option on many quests?

I am not talking about "vendor junk", this is about high to moderately high end loot. I am sick of hearing the snot-nosed little kid - sometimes it is the big kid too - asking for loot after EACH chest. A simple non-comfrontational fix would be to block your loot from being displayed to everyone.

[Laith]

while i would not use it, and am therefore tempted to say it's "not worth developer time", i can see why some would appreciate the feature.

[Palmetto]

...........hiding loot from your party members is seriously bad kharma.

So is outright begging for a piece of loot.

[rimble]

I think it's fine. Speak up and put the "I want that guy" in his place. I don't think an individual toggle is right. Either leave things alone (my preference) or make it a toggle the group leader can set.

I do somewhat like to retain the spirit of D&D here, and hiding loot from your party members is seriously bad kharma.

[rimble]

Ah, right. Fight jerky with jerky. Bone up, tell those fools to shut it.

[KaKa]

You might find this interesting then. The current Mod 5 build on Risia has it so that the list of items that are looted from the chest show up in Bold lettering now like the player names when using chat. In turn if you click on the name of the item that was looted a examine window opens and you can see all the info on the item. For those that played WOW its like their system.

[Palmetto]

Bone up, tell those fools to shut it.

Oh, that is not the problem. I have no problem telling them to go pound sand. It is the delivery of the message that could be easily avoided with a simple modification.

And no, I am not going to change my personality and try to "soften" the message.

[Palmetto]

For those that played WOW its like their system.

Oh joy.

If its just an average chest, especially if I'm on my barb and eager to zerg ahead while the rage and haste are still up, half the time I don't look...I just click like crazy. I once pulled a vorpal and someone had to tell me I pulled it. *check inventory..omg...I did*. So please feel free to ask about componants. If I don't have someone that can use them, here you go...

As for moving over...it was a great idea but I stopped doing it... half the time you move things a second after they turn away and the stuff gets left behind. I generally just make a mental note if I want to give soemthing away and trade it at the next chest when we are all stopped anyway.
