Guild Wars 2

While playing the Southsun Event that were recently introduce, I notice something new. The crazy mobs would drop bag of loot instead of becoming shiny. I was confused at first but then I notice how easy it was to locate you loot.

Is there any way of implementing this in the actual world. It would help us to physically see the bags instead of running through and push in f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f. You get the point.

Actually, I find it easier to spot sparkling dead bodies than tiny brown bags…. :\

Please, please, please put in bags of loot in rest of PvE.

They are much better than faint sparkles. They stay there for a while when the body despawns so you don’t have all the bodies on the ground and they are easier to see. You can hold down the button that highlights them and SEE them. Yellow text that says ‘bag of loot’.

I also find it hard to see the bags as they often stuck in the ground. If I am not mistaking, they just drop bags because they do not die but get invulnerable and cannot be looted then.

Sparkling bodies stick around for the same duration – the normal bodies despawn, the rest of them can be looted. Just that the remaining bodies are much bigger and brighter colours than the tiny brown bags who blend into the dirty ground all too well… and would be impossible to see in a grassy/meadow environment.

Just like in guild wars 1, If you push crtl (default button) the bag of loot will be highlighted and you then pinpoint them on the screen.

That would be ideal for me., I’d rather see text like in GW1. I’d be afraid to find out how much I missed not seeing the sparklies. They could make it both ways, a sparkly bag of loot.

That is what I liked about them, the yellow text ‘bag of loot’ that appears when you push down ctl, or whatever you have selected to highlight this sort of thing.

After the fight, the bodies might have despawned but you push ctl and all the bags of loot show up in yellow letters.

There really ought to be a more visual indicator like a beam of light, or make the text permanently visable without needing to hold control.

They appear in this case because you don’t “kill” a lot of the enemies in the Southsun events. They get to 0 health, then turn green and kind walk away/disappear.

Well even if thats the case. I am sure they can implement it when we kill something just like in wvw. If I remember correctly, Habib Leow (Sorry for the last name mispelt) mention thakittens easier to make Bag of Loot then the shiny effect. It reduced the poly-pixel count and then reduce the server stress.

On top of that the bodies can disappear which will further reduce culling since your system doesn’t need to generate that image on the screen anymore. Now I am not saying that the bags should teleport at your feet but just on the dead body making it easier for everyone to locate and gather their loot.

Any mob that doesn’t ‘die’ drops these
