Thanks for the responses -- I hope that other people who have these same questions can come here for clarification since there are no blue posts about this unimportant topic.
I was wondering when diablo 3 generates loot in the game. I was arguing with a friend who said that all the loot is generated when you start/resume a game. In other words, everything is predetermined when you start a game.
This came about when a friend of mine commented that I am potentially missing out on legendaries by not breaking vases and destructible objects (pre patch 1.03) or when I ignore difficult elites. I said that the drops/loot are determined whenever you kill a mob or break an object. He said that it would be impossible from a programing stand point for the game to "roll" on an item after you are in it.
We ended the argument that he was correct, because he is extremely computer savvy.
How could this be true? When does Magic Find come into play? If his answer is correct, why don't we create games with our magic find gear on?
Is there no blue post confirming how loot is generated? I've done some simple google searches on this and I have not found anything.
I'm just curious enough to ask the public about this.
