Item Drop in Combat

[Ragemeister]

There really needs to be a fix for dropping certain items in combat.

Currently if you pick up a carcass or you are mining and become encumbered and someone hits you then you are just stuck there, you cannot move and you cannot drop items.

It should not allow dropping of valuables but if I have raw materials in my inventory that are weighing me down I should be able to drop them, not be stuck encumbered while some guy can run circles around me or just bow me down..

(Would be even better if the "destroy item" was done away with altogether, add a deconstruction table for getting new mats from old items and make it so you "drop loot" on the ground and not just vanish it into a new dimension.)

I agree ! Carcass and Ore should always be possible to be destoyed.

 

[Tzone]

I dont agree with destroying carc or ore. You might say its only carc or ore but It could be troll carc or teph.

I think they should allow you to split it and then drop as loot bags if stolen. Maybe have a limit on how many times you can split stolen items.

Is there no way of knowing, any longer, when it is that you are becoming encumbered, and can you not stop picking up more stuff until the time comes when you can no longer move?

Lol yeah this happens with NPCs too. Was looting a bear carcass and another bear attacked me... Rip

First of all - monitor your inventory and what you are looting. This is a bit of a learn to play issue.

Second of all - it's foolish that we can't drop items anyway. Over the years I and others have made suggestions about allowing players to drop things into loot bags when dragging from the inventory, and different ways it could be handled (I recall garbage heaps in town being one such suggestion, where all dropped loot ends up there). Some form of this would be nice. I don't like deleting things to begin with, let alone when a game mechanic won't let me and I am dying to a bear (@ArcaneConsular ).

In conclusion, a way to DROP items instead of deleting them would solve this issue completely. You are not allowed to delete in battle for various balance/gameplay reasons and those make sense. What doesn't make sense is our inability to drop (outside of /droploot which is far too extreme in this case).

This is probably the solution TBH, the whole "destroy item" mechanic always came off as a bit strange anyways. Would be a lot better if you dropped items into a bag on the ground.

For sure only Tier 1 ore ! Noone should be able to destoy Waterstone or the expencive Materials; AND ESPECIALLY NOT IF THEY ARE STORED IN hORSEBAGS:

A drop Materials Command that only drops Materials like Ores and Carcasses but not everything like /Droploot would be the best solution !

Making a new command is not a solution to this problem tbh, if someone hits me i need to be able to quickly drag and drop weight out of my inventory, not type in a command while someone is killing me.

I think making all items dropable is the play, get rid of the "destroy item" mechanic and make it "drop item" and it goes onto the floor in a bag. If someone drops something valuable in combat you simply pick it up off the ground.

 

[Bernfred]

its part of risk/reward.
you do not want ANY combat deleting, in fact the timer is way too short, people can delete stuff in PvP if they think they die.

BUT you should give an option to hold a key and drag & drop the item on the ground like the /droploot command but for a single stack without using the chatbox. it should lock you in place for 1 second so people can not drop their loot while running and the lootbag should have a colored (non red) glow for everyone or you could hide your items in a way that it comes close to combat deleting.
the items you drop should spawn in the same lootbag in a radius around you or you end up with multiple bags.

You should be able to bind /droploot and /droporecarcass on hotkeys. That would fix the problem.

distinguishing between worth or not worth in MO2 makes no sense, either you can delete/drop everything or nothing.

That makes no sense when you are overleaded,
then this is always due to Carcass or tier 1 ore.
On the other hand, you can always throw your ore into your horse.
That should also be possible if you get attacked.

Yea not everyone walks around with a horse attached to their hip at all times.

I honestly cant even tell if you are seriour bro, why would we add a random hotkey to drop items lol. You cannot hotkey delete items and im pretty sure thats not what anyone here wants. Just allow people to drop items on the ground, its really that simple lol

 

[SilentPony]

I agree, being unable to drop things is weird and inconvenient. Being unable to drop things while someone is attacking you is fatal.
