I appreciate that u put a effort into it but still tho i would enjoy a smart loot option even with said changes.
For the most part i only use FL4K and i dont want to farm bosses over and over again just in order to get a piece of gear i wanted yes but with the wrong anoints.
Well im just putting what id do. A smart loot system could be a nightmare for me if the current system doesnt change. I.e? Ill use flak and fade away to boss. But in general ill use other anoints etc.
For zane id use sntnl barrier cryo to farm takedown. But i prefer digiclone and n 200 asa stuff.
So for that reason a “smart” system would give me dummy drops imo. Theres gonna be a large ppl arguing for the Rng.
Im just cutting away class specific anoints by homogenizing them into one anoint called. “Anointed vault hunter” then we’d have asa 200. Ase varietys. Rad 150. A completely smaller pool of anoints everyone never feels what they get is useless by getting a class specific drop.
Itsa simple concept.
Well i mean sure seems legit in a way tho who knows what future will bring.
Smart loot in my view would be enough to make this game enjoyable again.
Also this would not mean that u have to use this system, thus the system will grand you VH specific loot and not build specific loot this would make the whole game triste anyways.
Well i mean sure ur system could work but only if they change the whole system as it is right now.
While smart loot on the other hand will work for those that stick to 1 VH anyways cause all the nice stuff they will be 100% certain for their specific VH.
As i mentioned this should be toggleable from the start, its not a must for everyone just for players like me and my brother who stick to 1 VH for very long time it can be quite frustrating getting gear that you will never use anyways.
I don’t mind getting some drops for other vault hunters. It means that I occasionally have some cool new piece of loot waiting for me when I switch to another vault hunter.
With only drops for your own VH, it would create a situation where your main just keeps getting better and better, and the other 3 just keep looking poorer and poorer by comparison. The work involved in getting the other 3 up to the level of your main would just keep increasing, making you less and less likely to do it.
In my opinion, it would be poor game design to deincentivise diversity like that. One of the great things about BL is the different playstyles that can be enjoyed with different vault hunters. But we’re all creatures of habit, so we all need a push to try something else now and then.
There’s another important issue too, when it comes to DLCs. I already had to play the story 4 times through to max my characters (well, 8 times really). I really don’t want to also have to play every single DLC four times through just to see what new class mods are available.
Having said all that, I wouldn’t mind fewer drops for other VH’s than what we get now. I don’t mind the odd class mod, but I certainly would like fewer other-VH-specific annointed weapons.
