| Summary | 0012368: when killing a bot yeilds loot, drop a loot container | ||||
| Description | To me it's a little odd to have the loot text appear on my exo, when I just shot something 8 squares away. | ||||

This would feel much more natural. Additionally, if you could somehow make a real fancy loot container that occasionally drops and in this put a rare uber loot you'd be surprised at just how much of a difference this would make to the play enjoyment. Seriously, I still play Phantasy Star Online and when one of those Red Containers drop, to see it just sitting there waiting to be picked up is a thing of beauty. To just see some text flash up sucks some of the enjoyment out collecting the loot. |

Dammnit this is already assigned (or hurray) ...soz. Still think the rare container idea is good, though. |

Here are two reasons why I disagree, at this venture: 1. Loot containers can be destroyed. It's rare, but I have seen it happen (Plasma Cannon shenanigans). I wouldn't want to miss out on loot because I had to kill a few dangerous enemies. 2. Loot containers block movement. There is already a lot of destroying cover and objects to move through the level (I would say too much, but it does provide some additional strategy). If these leave the typical 'empty container', I would rather the loot just appear in my inventory. Granted, I get more excited when I check inventory afterwards, as that's when I see if I got a good item with the stats I wanted. |

Re: 0000001 -- definitely roguelike. :) Re: 0000002 -- maybe. You're talking about a minor, infrequent change in the map though. Ideally, I'd say it doesn't generate a container, just the equipment. But dropping something that is already implemented seems the best course for 1.0. |

I would like to see this change implemented. Regarding Winge's reasons for disagreeing, I think this might be turned into/seen as an interesting additional challenge for the player: acquire the dropped loot without getting shot *and* before it is destroyed by some BlunderBot or friendly fire - could be fun or !fun!. Both seems to be in tune with the roguelike vibe of the game to me = )... |

For 0.929: * Now when bots drop random loot you don't get the piece instantly, instead it drops a small loot chest instead and you have to walk over to get it like you would normal small loot chests. Thanks :) I'll ask around internally about the possibility of having them randomly be rare chests. |

Thanks! * The loot drops from enemies now have a 5% chance of being a rare loot container instead of a regular loot container. |
