disclosure of the loot system

[DR.]

Imagine a huge die, some of the numbers are assigned to loot, some aren't. Every time a bot dies dice are thrown for all. The number it lands on is your lucky draw. The end.

I believe that this number has something to do with your character ID (that means loots are available on some character IDs in from time to time not for all of them )its just a thought
i played on 1 char for months and got no loot for some reasons
and after i made a new char i got 2X in a week

eh well may as well post this again

At the start for my 1st 7 loots i did think the same but now don't think its much of a problem. 

Other things I'm more worried about

Nah, character ID has nothing to do with it. Using a character ID as the RNG seed would turn it into a pseudo random generator

At the point of death. When a bot dies, a die is rolled per player.

Can 2 ppl loot from the same mob?

Materials yes, legendaries no.

I was under the impression you could loot 2 legendaries from the same bot, albeit it is near impossible. So, by sticking to your die example, who would loot if 2 people roll the same number? If I understand the mechanics correctly someone must be prioritized otherwise you'd get two drops.

To have people that win a lottery 20 and more times over and have
others playing the same lottery and never win although their effort of time and participation
is the same is simply rediculous, period. It produces salt and that's bad for everything.

That's a fair point and to be honest, I don't know what happens if 2 players roll a lucky number.
My guess is that another die is rolled to select a winner.

its like when u roll the lucky number u keep looting so that means it doesn't roll every time a bot dies
seeing the same ppl always loot in different ranges of time

Turns out i was lucky and could have looted at 500 hours but got screwed over by Slayer.

Ye don't give us that info thx.

Yeah, that is sensible.

On a side note, I like how the thread is about finally getting disclosure on the way the loot system works and even though a developer gives out some interesting details people still do not seem satisfied. I guess they'll only stop complaining about the "lack of information" when you tell them that a perfect hero mixture does indeed affect the drop rates.

im sure that hero class has nothing to do with the drop rate

I actually think my 2 loots where with the same char/id but whatever
