You're not supposed to be able to pick up drops you missed if you DP out of a zone/mission, iirc.

ogre_jd · Mar 17, 2008, 03:23 AM // 03:23

I see the unclaimed items box all the time in Prophecies - specifically when I successfully complete a mission and the end boss and whatever horde he had dropped loot.

TaCktiX · Mar 17, 2008, 03:35 AM // 03:35

You have to complete the mission successfully to get Unclaimed Items. If you get wiped out, why should you be allowed to pick up drops when you're dead on the ground?

yep. what everyone above me said. if you wipe, you get no loot. if you succedd, you get it.

in simple terms: if you get the boot, you get no loot. xD

it wuld be kinda stupid if there was an unclaimed box if u get a wipe

Would lead to too many abuseable farms on missions. No need to bring any defensive skills at all. Just bring a lot of offense, kill stuff in 1-5 second with a ton of firepower, and when you die and fail the mission, you get all the stuff from the farm.

/notsigned. There would be no penalty for death if this was ever implemented, and one of the points of any game is to at least TRY not to die...

ogre_jd · Mar 17, 2008, 12:49 PM // 12:49

You died and failed the mission. Therefore you don't deserve rewards. It's that simple.

Ctb · Mar 17, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

I don't know how I feel about this. I'm leaning toward "if you can get ressed and pick up missed drops in an explorable area, why can't you pick them up from a failed mission too?". It's kind of illogical that you lose them in one circumstance and not the other.

If you're going to take the time to contribute nothing but an unsubstantiated opinion, you could at least have the decency to use something that might be confused for a modern language to do it.

MirkoTeran · Mar 17, 2008, 02:53 PM // 14:53

So you want items for failing... ok...

I think Tender Wolf suggested the same thing once... I suspect this idea will get flamed as it was before.

Jetdoc · Mar 17, 2008, 05:43 PM // 17:43

A definite /notsigned on this one. Kind of goes back to the theory of "well, you gotta be alive to be able to pick up something..."

I am sorry that you did not get your black dye. I don't know how Glint's Challenge works as I have never bothered to try it. Keep in mind that the unclaimed items box never used to exist. Be happy that now if you complete the mission and didn't get your drops you now have that ability.

Also, could have sworn that the timer was 10 minutes.

MithranArkanere · Mar 18, 2008, 12:24 AM // 00:24

Ok, now I must remind you:
"To the winners belong the spoils."
Now keep those words in mind.

When you die during a mission, you... somehow... go back a little in time to avoid death.
So you must win to get the loot.

Oh hai. I founds that thread.

/notsigned, if you wipe you don't deserve to get your drops

Stockholm · Mar 18, 2008, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Bot's would love that

they don't even have to stop and pick up the drops just keep going

genofreek · Mar 18, 2008, 01:23 AM // 01:23

As others have said, it's open to abuse and frankly, if you all died, you haven't earn jack squat.

/notsigned.

genofreek · Mar 18, 2008, 01:55 AM // 01:55

I don't know why Glint's is different. Frankly, I don't think it should be. Wipes mean you lose the drops, period.

But that's just me.

First i would absolutely KILL D-core farming, which I do on a daily basis, which is FUN, now that nearly everything is nerfed nowadays. On top of that it would drive up D-core prices.

Even if you got wiped, how pissed would you be if you worked hard got a nice gold item drop and then some random enemy kills you and you lose the gold. Not fair I say...

Welcome to life, unfair things happen.

I can't tell you how many times I've been in UW with pugs and had an ecto drop for me during 4 horsemen and the pugs have screwed up and I wasn't able to retrieve it. If you're not good enough to stay alive to kill the foes, I see no reason that Anet should just hand your items to you. If things start going south, run and pick it up or risk losing it.

Allowing drops if you failed the mission is too abuseable. And I have read and I agree with Genofreek, I don't know why Glint's is different, but I think the same rules should apply.
