How will looting items work? Will it be the old horrible system that only rewarded fast/lucky clickers or people using item grabber mods?
I’d like to see class specific looting allow people a chance at something they could immediately use and then lottery if say a barb and necro found a bow or if the amazon passed on it etc.

I wonder, if you drop an item, will it show to everyone else in the game or only yourself?
Interesting thought. Makes sense that it would show to everyone right?
Unless you're organizing your inventory and drop an item so you can move stuff around better. Would suck if it got swooped on!
I guess it will show for everyone else, if you drop it it probably means you don't want it, they are only doing the individual loot for monster drops(maybe chest too, can someone confirm?)

there getting rid of the grid system and putting something like wows is, where each item is a single slot. No rearrangement required!
Also, they stated that when killing a boss while in a party whatever is dropped by the boss while drop multiple times for each character in the party. Not sure if this is JUST for bosses since that is all that was discussed.
You're saying that the same item will drop 4 times. Let say Uber bow A will drop 4 times like the cube used to for everyone.
I mean that lets say we kill a regular monster. An uber item drops, will it be visible to all people? Will it be a roll based system like WoW? Or like you seem to be saying, will 4 of Uber bow A drop?

No, you'll see all 4 items, but you'll only be able to pick up one, because it will be the only one you can use.
(I don't know this, I'm just trying to explain what the other folks are saying)
No, you will see 1 item and it will be most likely different for everybody... Don't talk about something you don't know please, you are misleading everybody.
Also, I don't think that is the fact for regular monster, they just spoke to this about killing bosses. However they did say the same thing will drop separate times.
I think he meant quest items dropping for everyone off bosses. My understanding that is, the boss will drop an item for everyone, rather than the zerg fest / bot pickup that baal runs were. This way even if your a slow clicker or not botting you are still rewarded.

I doubt you can "hide" other items from other people.
So, you will be able to see these items.
So, lets say there's a "Witchdoctors mask" drop. A player playing a Barbarian can SEE that item, but if he goes to pick it up, he will not be able to because it is not his item TYPE.

I'm sure once the original player picks it up it will become visible to everyone if dropped again.

If you're playing with other people, it's going to show them.
It would be going WAY out of the way to "Hide" "Your" drops from others.

Must've missed it, thanks!

That, or it seems like the bags make your inventory bigger/smaller, they might have an affect.

AKA Everyone has their own loot. Don't over-complicate things.

Do you get me?
