Random item loot and YT

[Lowlife]

Despite what you think about item loot as a whole, I thought this was a pretty cool idea.

Especially the YT portion.

"Soandso <Guild A> has slain Someguy <Guild B> in Freeport. Someguy <Guild B> has dropped a Fire Beetle Eye"
or
"Someguy [Evil] has slain Soandso [Neutral] in Qeynos. Soandso [Neutral] has dropped a Flowing Black Silk Sash"

Now seeing as the Devs have referenced custom item loot "We can do it any way we want." but especially random item loot on at least two occasions this variant warrants some extra consideration, because like it or not, nilbog is putting item loot in t99.

So what do you think about Russian roulette item loot with public cheers or jeers over the loot?

This is a good compromise to the whole item loot discussion. A person can't just go straight to looting your fungi tunic, but still has a chance of randomly getting it. Also the yellow text idea sounds awesome. We still have item loot, but it minimizes the risk for all the people whining about item loot. A+

I definitely agree. I think this is the best system possible for all parties involved, the YT element is awesome, and can only be achieved through slot machine gambling item loot.

Imagine the anticipation of seeing what you scored as the killer
or the relief/terror of seeing your own YT and what you lost as you res?

the forum quest aspect of this alone is incredible. But as you stated its not so brutal that they're going right for your high dollar gear, so people won't necessarily be naked or bagging shit frantically. Its slightly more bluebie friendly when your chance of losing your Dwarven Ringmail Tunic is as good as it is to lose a stack of Fuzzlecutter Formula 5000s. I'd wear gear under this system, I mean you only YOLO once, namean?

I would like to see the item lost announced in global, as a community thing it would be amazing.

If item loot is to happen, this would be an excellent custom feature [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
