Please add shared loot option

[Basilllisk]

It's an incredibly common system in this type of game I don't know why it's not a thing here at least as a toggleable option like Borderlands 3. I enjoy seeing the same loot as my friends in private co-op. It adds to the experience when we see awesome loot drop and decide who needs / wants it more.

Compounded even more by the fact there is no drop item or trade option at all. It makes me feel as if they centered the co-op around the idea of playing with random people more so than with friends. It really is my single biggest gripe with the game.

Agreed, I play with friends. Would like to share equipment with them. As this is not a PVP game I can't see the harm in doing so.

Not to mention a lot of stuff they left thats in any other looter shooter game

Locking And favoriting.As well as making a preset instead of having to change stuff around.But then again people would make another excuse saying the game doesn't need that or this.If it would be in the game it was make things more easier.Not riight now though, its only until they fix this ♥♥♥♥.

Works with friends, but its a nightmare with randoms.

Armor based loot drops with mods specific to your class, so that wouldn't work out if it was shared to other players without redoing the rollable mods as well.

fk that, an ancient mechanic that luckily is being phased out.

Instanced loot is the way to go, I don't find it fun to "fight" for loot just after having a fight with enemies... that being said, an option to give away loot would be nice...

[Basilllisk]

I did specifically say option. I wouldn't want to force it on someone who doesn't want it. Borderlands 3 managed to have it optionable when hosting a game, for example, and most games in the loot / rpg genre that this game stands on the shoulders of has had it as default for years.

skimmed the title, totally my fault... I would agree as long as being an option exclusive to private sessions... otherwise it would kill matchmaking for me... hell, people are even now griefing at end of expeditions booting people before they can get the loot, imagine if loot was shared...lol

Exactly, the ability(option) to share with friends. Agreed that some amours are class based and therefor not as easily shareable but weapons are not.

[Basilllisk]

Yeah I imagine it'd have to be for private sessions only until they add more options for match making, if they do, and I hope they do.

let people trade the loot the pickup in the same instance and only then like the division does. Lol we are missing so many features for a looter shooter its kind of insane. "Hey what build are you running? should i go statue or bleed? Oh yeah i cant hear you because theres no voice chat, lets just both go on kill builds and then since one had more kill procs than the other we can argue about who did more damage." TBH at this point id rather get kicked by the elitist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and find a group of people to chill with than to do an expedition with someone while they boil with rage on the other side of their screen, and then just kick me right before the chest since he wasted all his self revives and had to sit around because obviously he wouldnt have went down if i just did more damage! so i just get kicked before we can even see the pitiful damage the amazing host has done.

I think before they do anything like that a talk or chat in-game feature should be implemented, and a barebones group search feature. Too many times you cannot coordinate with the group during battle, its a free for all which while sometimes fun, often causes more stress then it needs to.

To the person,Koi, above me: Sounds like there's a story behind that. So far I only play it with people i know won't throw a tantrum when things aren't going perfect, which basically rules out public groups atm.

Yeah, I quite like the way Division 2 does it, shareable until you make it yours... and I completely agree, not having a chat is a major hurdle to co-op... sure, Discord (or similar) might solve it, but no use in matchmaking... definitely this game could use some additions besides a shared loot option... as long as those remain options and not necessarily imposed on people who don't wanna partake...
