Guild Wars 2

I’ve been told they have either exotic or ascended gear inside them. What a horrible fate…

I got a precursor from one

NOOOO!!!! Man, that’s so crappy. I always try to spam my interact key (I think it was F but I’ve rebound it to E) whenever possible, just because you never know when you might suddenly have that glass cannon thief pop up out of no where while you’re at 25% and ruin that fight for ya.

if u have aoe looting on, u could go near the wall where u died and spam F to pick it up. If u can get to innert again atleast.

biggest mistake they made with WvW was no loot upon leaving… you should never lose out on loot or a chance at loot because you get killed inside a keep, etc. You should automatically get all of the loot you missed upon leaving the worlds and zoning back to LA.

Pop up window, here’s your spoils!

I had that happen months ago. Tried rushing back to pick it up, but not enough time. Terrible feeling, but then I just tell myself it was some crappy exotic and nothing really special. Bad luck.

you should be able to loot while dead. I’ve had that happen to me a few times. I swear it was probably a precursor, because that’s just how rotten my luck is.

It was a toxic krait tonic recipe . 9.999999999 out of 10 correct :p

D:

The keep lord drops come in a steel chest also, because of the dragonite ore.

Sorta like how the 5 supply that can drop from a dolyak was “rare” loot, originally using the wooden chest graphic when it was introduced, and causing much consternation as no apparent loot was acquired from picking it up (pre-aoe loot also, so you often had to run back).

It’s unfortunate anet thinks if we want our loot we have to play it a lot more safe and keep hammering aoe loot.

Wish loot was all auto pickup, I keep picking up those kitten banners by mistake in big zerg fights.

It was probably only a Dawn, no worries.

In all likeliness it was an exotic lvl 69 with a worthless rune/sigil in it.

Change your AoE loot and interact buttons to different keys. I use X for interact, and F for AoE loot. It would be nice if they would have just allowed us to set looping AoE loot macros, but they said no despite community pleas.

This is why loot should be automatic. It is really puzzling to me why it is NOT.

^ this ^ This, and also ^ THIS

This needs to be changed.

The countless loot and chests from Lords in WvW I’ve lost simply because I died and, for whatever reason, cannot pick up loot when I’m dead (which is so stupid in my opinion) is ridiculous.

Or one of those chests that appear floating at the right side of the screen

Exotic loot and above appears in a chest above the mini-map. Problem solved!

i smell new auto picking item in the gem store

Last week’s match between CD(Blue),FA(Green) and EB(Red).
I was hiding in the keep when EB captured our Keep in Eternal Borderland.
Once the RI on the champion was gone,i began soloing the boss, got a lucky exotic dropped from the veteran protector.

And then FA zerged me.

Steel chest right beside me.

thank god for the exo drop,at least something for the trouble

They actually used to do this in GW1, when you left a mission unclaimed loot from it would be presented to you in a popup…. not sure if all of it or just some rarity and up. They point is they have done it before, I am guessing the reason why they can’t do it for WvW is the size of the map and the number of players. Depends how their intermediate data is stored but it might potentially result in lot of data being stored for each player if the system was unconditional.

As in people would just never bother to pick up loot normally at all, just wait until waypointing on death or otherwise to claim all loot through the popup. Also waiting until leaving the mists entirely would most certainly increase the time of life of this additional data exponentially when in fact it should only need to be stored not much longer than it would if it was just waiting to collected on the ground (see example below).

Since all loot in WvW drops at your feet, maybe it is possible to present a claim uncollected loot popup upon death, but before waypointing, from a certain radius from your characters position from when he died (would stop situations like the OP at least).

Since there is no competition over loots, a system like the example above would be harmless (since the enemy gains nothing or even knows if he denied you some loots).

2 things
1- not having to pick up loot or being able to pick up the bags even after death
2- tags previous to your death should not give you loot post death.

That will fix 2 things
1- It will remove the incentive of not wanting to WP and waiting to be rezzed to get your loot (or just losing loot you deserve). The effect of not having this is nagative for those who are trying to win the fight (no reinforcements if everyone stays dead) and for those that want their loot off their death.
2- There has to be a way to prevent bad play from being rewarded (i dont want to see players not follow to tag, get killed and be rewarded for greedy play)

Agreed!

Another option would be that dead players can still loot everything in a certain radius.

Bind your auto loot to separate button, so you don’t miss loot by accidentally ressing someone or picking up a banner with F, and when you’re dead try to respawn as fast as possible.

best loot system imo would be: auto loot to your inventory, and if ur inventory is full then the bags drop, giving you a little bit of time to clear your inventory (merchant) and grab the rest.
