Non-chest loot spawns not clearing trash.

[electric mayhem]

I've noticed recently that loot points like skeletons and bags do not appear to clear and offer someone a fresh loot pile IF someone leaves an identified magic item in there. i.e. alot of the occurences I've noticed this have been identified magic items with HP+1 to +3 modifiers.

As a work around to this and in the interests of not affecting others that may follow looting behind my runs, I remove all items , even if junk, from these points.

Longer term, is there something script wise that can be done to ensure everyone gets a 'loot roll' on these skeletons etc please?

This is not true in my experience. Left items do indeed stay in the chest but you get your loot roll as well with extra stuff. Everyone gets a loot roll for those things.

Ok... I can understand that possibility... but tonight I had a very high amount of occurences where the bones/skeletons/boxes did not appear to offer fresh loot at all. Only 'trash magic' gear that was identified with HP bonuses, with nothing else on the loot point. It's something I've been watching for a long time now. But the straw broke tonight and I felt I needed to raise the idea of this possibly being an issue.

I find tons of that stuff daily. It is pretty much why the system is borked. I am guessing your loot roll was a crap one to be honest.

Gotta say I've had a lot of runs lately that looked that terrible lootwise...

I guess the random just really offers ALOT if trash... XD

If I'm in a party and am on a high STR toon, a good trick is to loot last.
That way you can get all the armor with minor enchants that the puny wizards and rogues leave behind

Sighs being a puny wizard

Are you sure you are understanding what I'm saying... these are already identified items sitting in these spawn points. They also don't have the typical very minute delay/game stutter that you can kind of notice when a loot point spawns your roll (thinking processing). These pop up instantly.
Or maybe the mind is seeing what it wants to see... and just need to accept it for what it is.

If you're in a group with people and they let sich a piece in the chest or any other you get that AND your own stuff on top.

Just recently had that however you are right, that that equipment loads quicker apparently.

i did make a post a week or so ago that i think the loot has been reduced. Some other people i play with agree but most people dont seem to have noticed: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=71223

There are more junk items in the loot now - including more items with +2 hp etc. Also a higher proportion of +1 items
