Title: Saving looted items throughout rounds you survived
Post by: DaveUKR on April 13, 2013, 09:59:38 pm
I remember some old days when you could loot something and use it in the next rounds if you survive. I think it's a good feature for newbies. I don't know why it got removed (probably because of QQing archers spawning without arrows when they forgot to drop their looted weapons in the previous round).

I.e. i'm a noob, who found a masterwork sword, I tried hard, killed some enemies, survived and my team won a round. Why shouldn't I have a small reward to make it possible to carry this sword to the next round?

I've looked into files and found out that it's possible to set it for exact players, so basically you can set the operation player_save_picked_up_items_for_next_spawn for certain players who want this. I suggest we enable it by default, so PROs turn it off for themselves while newbies have this feature.

I agree with this.

I remember these times/days too. Yea, yeah... the good old days... xD
But I think they removed it because of the slot system(could be) because if you are crossbower/archer, just an example, and you drop, let's say a DS (Danish Greatsword) because of not delaying or melee. In the next round you wouldn't have your Bow and/or your arrows because the DS needs 2 slots so you can't play your specialised class.
But at all I just guess that this could be a reason.

Problem was you could end up paying upkeep on a looted weapon.

If this can be addressed than your idea is a really solid one.

False. You could loot weapons, survive, and each time the server said you repaired it, you paid nothing because the item wasn't registered at your character. Every looted weapon was free.

And I don't find it bad, you shouldn't pay upkeep for it because the one who dropped it does it for you.

That would be good if there would be an option for keep loots or take current selected stuff . That's a good compromise (I think)

I honestly don't care, but I believe that's what cmp said when the looting mechanic died

No, the message popped up, but you never paid for it.

I was thinking about this recently, would be a nice change. I was wondering if it could be balanced somehow though so the winning teams don't get too big of an advantage. Like even the losing team can sometimes salvage items that start on the floor at spawn

It was a pain to always remember to drop them if you want to spawn with your normal gear.

It was removed because of an issue with upkeep, at least that was claim at the time. It happened over 7 months ago.

It would be nice if they could get it working right to re-enable this, was always a good feeling surviving a round and keeping a nice weapon until I die or drop it

in this case this build will reach another fun dimension

My favorite 'fun build' is the Trashman™

(click to show/hide)
(You can take points out of strength and put them into ironflesh if you want, I suggest the 17 str because it opens up a few more weapons for you that otherwise you'd be too weak for.)

Can use almost anything on the ground, can ride most of the horses, and is a jack-of-all-trades master-of-none. 
I suggest wearing ugly/mismatched light armor, and starting the round with a club or other minor weapon.

Then, simply use whatever you can scavenge during the round.

It's both funny and intense.  If you get a group of people together it could be even funnier if you are all scrambling for weapons/horses off the fallen.

Admerius approves of this message.

I have a dedicated alt, "Angry_Drunk_Looter", for salvaging which would make playing that alt a lot more rewarding.

This was a pretty cool feature and I've enjoyed it a lot, when I played as scavenger for couple generations.

Post by: chesterotab on May 09, 2015, 07:20:07 pm
Please put this feature back into the game. Seems like a no brainer To add a fun feature.

There is a problem with throwing weapons, even now. It's not gamebreaking like bug you've mentioned but it is very annoying. Every now and then when players pick up throwing weapon it becomes unequipped, which can mean death in many situations.

Did it for a long time, no one complained. Most people won't bother with that, they prefer using weapon they spawn with.

Players who do that actually help more than players like you and Admerius who spawn just to suicide few moments later.

Hasn't leshma's renown bar has been like that for years?
Title: Re: Saving looted items throughout rounds you survived
Post by: Leshma on May 10, 2015, 02:30:09 am
Yes it has been like for ages, some people are just slow. Since PEPE wants to show us how much of a special flower he really is, I want to prove that I'm better in that area than he'll ever be. Behold the greatest load of bull any player has ever written on these forums, accidentally that is my essay (if I get banned, essay is already written).

[Essay] Exaggerated Sense of self importance is a bad thing (http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/(essay)-exaggerated-sense-of-self-importance-is-a-bad-thing/)

Some people never learn, even from their own mistakes. Like they are in limbo going through same wrong situation over and over again.
