Saving looted items throughout rounds you survived

[DaveUKR]

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.

Option on character page.

• If picked, you keep the weapon(s) the next round if your team won

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.

[Algarn]

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

[Y]es!

but anyway we had to pay repair

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.
