please do not use bandit mantle in arena quests.

[donald.nintendo]

its not that it isnt helpful...
its that it causes people (including me)
to stop fighting and try to grab every bit of loot.

and in an arena with multiple monsters, it is especially bad.

i don't mind when people stop fighting to carve a tail or grab broken off parts,since they are few and don't last very long before they vanish,
but the golden shinies are more plentiful...

i'm not going to kick if you do this either way,
but i will politely ask you not to use it.
just please consider this when doing arena quests.

lastly i'm not saying you HAVE to do this...im just saying please CONSIDER not doing it.

you triggered the trolls
if it is that easy to distract you from hunting

palico should get a skill for the plunder blade to collect them automaticly

I'd rather someone use a Bandit Mantle than a Ghillie Mantle. Or even a Rocksteady Mantle. Maybe even a Vitality Mantle. Even more so than a Health Booster they place a mile away from the monster to heal themselves at no benefit to others, standing around instead of chugging a potion etc.

I see your point about people stopping to collect the golden shinies, but it hardly matters. 30 seconds spent not DPSing a monster isn't going to cost you a hunt - and if it's a difficult monster, you won't be seeing many golden drops at once anyway.

At least you know the guy with the Bandit Mantle is actively attacking and trying to deliver as much DPS as they can, too.

if it's an easy arena quest and theres multiple monsters to bash, hell yeah i'm bringing a bandit mantle
doing massive damage AND getting lodsofemone? sign me up

hmm..thats a good point.
did not think of that, thank you.

Not to mention four blokes using the bandit mantle in that event quest for the Great Jagras, Great Girros and Dodogama is literally like printing money. I don't know how many drops you get per monster but it's a trivial thing to divide them and melt them down...you spend more time picking stuff up than you do killing them.

i wasnt crying, nor is it about free money.
its about me having the intense desire to NOT leave loot behind.

its not OCD...but about 1/4th of the way there i think.
i cant just leave it. i wish i could but i cant.

at least greb brought up the DPS thing from the mantle user.

[Greb]

The worse thing is I think there's an item limit cap for how many shinies can be on the ground at once, and if that isn't the case they are definitely timed around like 120 seconds before vanishing etc. Very mean...almost ensures you HAVE to disengage and collect them when farming them otherwise they'll vanish into thin air.

If only this game had that feature from Destiny where engrams you didn't pick up were collected after the quest and put into a "Lost and Found" box for later. Even if you had to pay Research Points to collect your items after so as to not make picking up items a total waste of time etc, I'd appreciate that very much.

[That Blind Person]

Shinies make my raccoon sense tingle, it cannot be ignored...

[Umbral Priestess]

It wouldn't even be so bad if items didn't have a time limit, i think that's pretty stupid. i very often will ignore items to focus on the monster only to find that all the items that were left behind just vanished. when i had a chance to get them, It was a dumb enough for capcom to do that.

So while yes, it is annoying, i don't blame people for doing it, the monster won't vanish, but those items will.

you could solo and not worry about it.

[Greb]

Imagine if you could fire your capture net and gather all items on the ground in one swoop, within the capture nets radius anyway. Would be so cash...literally. No more inserting a pod into my slinger over and over instead of picking up that damn wyvern tear at the end of a mission, etc.
