Loot depends mainly on.............

voom · 06-07-2008, 16:52

Having been fairly slated for my last poll on this topic as being over simplified I thought I would have a go at producing a more comprehensive one.

I appreciate that all these factors may or may not determine the loot you get, I am interested in which factor or combination of factors people think is the most important and most likely to be truly representative of the loot system.

If there are any theories I have missed I apologise and please add them to the thread.

Thanks and happy polling

Poll should be multiple choice

lol. Anyway, you did forget an option for "other". My vote is for a random percentage that is picked each time and then multiplied by total "decay" spent (including ammo, probes, bombs, etc).

Eg. You pay a 1$ to roll a die: if you get a 1 or a 2, you get nothing back. If you roll a 3 or 4, you get $1 back. If you roll a 5 or a 6, you get $2 back.

hmm, by looking at the poll I could write a pretty good answer, but I luckely remembered in time I stopped doing that

You might not get much insight, but you'll get some EFD

IMO, I think you could have deleted the Random option, since EU has so low %
randomness in lootsystem, that it can't be called Random.

The word should be Circumstances instead...

well actually

loot depends on the relation of several objects in the universe around
so, the relation of Mars to Earth (or rather, Mars to MA server) has an important role

also the current radiation of the sun (effect on MA server)
especially the latter isnt that easy to predict, so is the loot

couldnt resist sry

I think it works like this:
When I go out hunt let's say atrox and I kill one MA takes a swedish krona and though it into the air and if he/she get's klave I will global if not I will get no loot
