Loot Crate System

[Galen_Thalheimer]

So if only one player is alive he would get all the drops, 100% of the time? That doesn't sound very team based and kinda induces people to let the team wipe then kite for the loot.

That's how it works now anyway. If there is only one person alive they get all the drops as it is.

To reiterate: it doesn't solve the issue of unequal distribution, and still leaves exploits of timing when to be alive for loot. Why swap one imperfect system for a naive implementation of a queueing system that doesn't completely address the issue?

P.S. I'm content with my hobbies, it even leaves me time to find flaws in CS-rejects' algorithm designs.

That exploit already there. The loot is already random to whoever is alive, so there are plenty of ways to game the system to get more. Like not toming on bosses. And saying that you need a perfect system to implement a better one is just plain naive. Currently alive team members have an uneven distribution of loot because it's short term random. Under this system, alive team members have a forced even distribution of random loot. It's a definite improvement from the current system.

If the Dev's could be so nice to lay out some point the new system need to tic.

• Need's to easy-ish to put in
  
• etc..
  

Stuff like this point  "Drop rate should be the same for each player." Is one point I want to guess that would be in the list, however, this is one of the problems.

If we can get some ground rules so we can come up with a better solution to this problem would save us and the dev's time if you ever want to fix this before Ni2.

That's part of the problem is specifying anything fully -- without knowing the layout of languages and where code lies in Warband vs NI vs backend it's hard to specify solutions.
