So loot like this is coming back?
Acronoid seems to be in a similar situation. 75% return. Maybe we belong to the 2% that get screwed by this update
Not me lol. I stole it from the screenshot section. Its the one with the most views so figured it had to be good. Going by the UI its gotta be hella oldGratz on the multiple eon!
Sweet, going back to the days of old when HoFs meant weapons and armor instead of ammo.
I have HOFed and gotten nothing but shrap and oil. Some loots that were hard to get in loot 1.0 feel almost impossible to get now as well. I could spend weeks hunting atrox and get bio ID chips and I have not seen a single one drop since loot 2.0. Maybe loot got switched around who knows I have to kill hundreds of bristlehogs to get 5 short stinktree boards as well. It seems like the system is happier throwing shrapnel back instead of other loot in a way that is nice(you can generally hunt longer) but overall I see less interesting loot and more shrap that feels just like BLP/Cells used to feel(aside from having a MU).
I too feel that we need some free in game activities that new players can do. I wouldn't mind them paying out some universal ammo even so that new players can hunt or mine eventually. These new activities would need to be something that can't be done while AFK in my opinion as well as we see in OLA 42, neas, and boreas AFK sweat groups there is no real interaction between players. Every thriving game needs a player base and activities you want people logged in (and actually at their computers) that are seeing the globals and think boy I want to go do that. That is how we get gamers into the game and retain them.
I feel either people are making mountains out of molehills when it comes to Loot 2.0... or the joke used to be on me before.
The one thing I've noticed is yes: less globals, and it's probably a mere psychological effect but the lack of no-looters also drives me to stick around longer. My actual returns have remained mostly the same, if not slightly improved, except the time it takes for me to see an uptick has greatly reduced so instead of having five runs with -50, -50, -50, -50 and then +190 for a net -10 loss I'm getting results more along -10, 0, +15, -10, 0 for a net -5 loss. Sure enough, my sample size is tiny but that's something I'd be more willing to endure in the long term.

This will always be the most awesome loot window in Entropias history

I'm a bit late on this one but there has been a change, but not the kind of change that impacts most players. The change does nerf high efficiency, high cycle players (10ks$ investments and cycle rates). But for average hunting it should not have a significant impact, assuming a reasonably efficient set up.
Well good luck MA i have not been active here for years and i will never be so more.
I've heard the exact same quote so many times since 2013 when I joined.
Now the questions would be, will you be back late 2017 or somewhere in 2018?
Is he a time traveller?
Nah, he just needs to get a life
I will gladly take yours.

Only few remebers EU at time when it was ok loot wise, like Sir Valentin...and still posting. Instead of laughing at him look at his former posts.

I have given this loot system a bit of time to try out and all I have to say at the moment is that I'm so disappointed in the current loot system. When loot 1.0 existed over a year had 90% TT return, since loot 2.0 im only at 60%. This only counting ammo and gun cost, shrapnel always converted, not including healer and armor, which I sometimes also use.
Once I got over the nice glitz of ever creature dropping loot (which was a nice feeling at the start) after the first month notice I was under a lot more usual, I bushed it up to the new system still being tweaked still here and there. A few months down the line I had a nice global chunky global and was hoping my luck would change, but even then I maxed out at 70% returns at the end of that month.
I must note, that nothing has changed in my play style at all, I'm mainly a trader on Entropia so when I hunt nowadays I tend to do it for fun (Iknow things change over time in entropia due to tweaks and updates), but I still keep track of all my costs and returns when hunting. I personally do not need to hunt to do well in entropia. (And I could just simply be on an unlucky one)
As I own a good chunk of deeds on Entropia, its not just about "I want to profitz", its more about how everyone else see the product you are invested in. I like to see everyone who plays this game to be happy even when under.
I would like to see the general average return to go back up again, or one of 2 things will happen, and I dont see the prices of loot going up to 120% on common items any time soon XD... (And like I said again: I could just simply be on an unlucky one)
(Also a bit a quarrel over pets too atm, but thats not for here and still on a wait and see for that...)
I am one of the oldies in Entropia, and love the game still, so it wouldn't be right for me to not say something to help improve something that I love even more. So there is my two cent on the matter...
60%... you doing something wrong...
