Thread: System Group Loot Messages (or the lack of)

Ever since JtL went live I stopped getting group messages about who loots what on the ground.


ie [PlayerName] has looted [item] from [mob]


It also seems that messages about incap'd or slain group members no longer appear. There is a thread about it in the not-so-frequently-visted Core Systems forum.

Does anyone else miss or want the ground group loot messages back?

ME! Why don't they please bring it back? Its like Mcarthyism, everyone accuses each other when they dont get loot for a while. Especially with the solo group nerf, this should be added in since many players will now be working in close proximity to get loot for cash.

Damn Ninja looters >:0

This is the least of our, and the devs, worries.

That's true the devs no longer worry about any part of this game. I mean if they can still have their jobs they must be set for life.

If you hunt with people you trust it is not that big of a deal. But it is still nice to know who loots what and who is a ninja looter. I'm guessing (and could be wrong) that this would be a fairly easy thing to fix. It was in game and was broke due to some new code. I would just like to have that feature back. Plus the group member incap/slain messages are fairly important too.

Personally, I don't miss the loot messages at all. It never made much sense to me, anyway. You have a solo group with people spread all over the galaxy and can know what they pull? How's that work? Yeah, it IS a way to tell if someone ninja-loots, but still... Someone mentioned McCarthyism. Well, the loot announcements seem like Big Brother to me.


I WOULD like to see the slain/incapacitated notices returned, though. I am often the group doctor and hate to wait until I get a tell before I heal someone.

Since solo groups are gone, they definitely should bring back the messages.... cant go on a group krayt or elder hunt for fun without worrying who in your group will steal the loot

Once we all start grouping properly again (not solo groups), it would be good to have it back.

I would expect that will come back once the Combat Upgrade is done, since we'll all have to group to kill the high end mobs.

This message not being in game is GAME-BREAKING... If there is no TRUST there is no group! How the hell do you expect strangers to hook up and do fun stuff when you never know if they are BS'in you on loot... Makes people want to just go SOLO...




SoE this is a VERY small GAME-BREAKING detail... Get on it!
