Regarding item loot.

[canardvc]

The main plus is that no one will carry around extra sets of MR gear.

Coin alone seems a little too easy.

I second that : Loot 1 item from bags, nothing from worn equipment. Sounds to be satisfying both those who want item loot and those who don't want to see their worn stuff gone on PvP death

Altergate a custom box handled item loot the best way imo

IF you killed someone in pvp you got to loot a non equipped item and all there coin.

So you couldn't touch there gear but anything in bags was at play. So at least you got a pumice or some bone chips. But every once in awhile you caught someone having extra sets of gear on them or an item they got in a dungeon that wasn't wearable by there class.

On a pvp server many will run around with MR sets and PVE sets of gear.

Think about it.

Best suggestion up to now IMO.

especially if pvp is active on level 1s and no shared banks this will really put a hurt on trades.

edit: if I had to guess I would think 99% of trades would be message board based and that kind of sucks.

never assume

Not to sound like a blueberry but i could extend with only being able to loot jewlery, (ears, neck, face, rings) Where 80% of all the hp/resistgear is at. And maby add bracers, waist, back + shoulder along aswell =)

So "Armor" + weps go safe.

If there's going to be item loot I'd rather not have a super complicated system in place, even though I don't personally prefer item loot, I'd take item loot over "opt-in item loot".

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.

[Lasher]

bag/inventory item loot can kind of screw over the few classes that routinly chang their weapons. bard with weapons and instruments and warrior with 1hnders and 2hnders.

Some classes easily go with out ever needing to change weapons. I dont know if it can be done but if this type of item loot is going in i would say have a special bag that has like 2 slots so there be can be 2 items you can protect

[Nirgon]

VZTZ never worked out well. Item loot is going to help with most of the people who make level range specific twinks decked out in gear. Worse, players will just be running around in full resist gear when they get it. Good luck fighting any of these guys for planar/dragon spawns once they get their gear advantage. If you fix stupid things like whirl and root landing on 150magic resist 50% of the time there wont be as much complaining about item loot.

Thx.

Sounds like looting a warrior 2hander out of his bags while he's xping.
