Global Announcements on Drops

[LightBringer]

So this is something I am always on the fence about; what do people feel about the global announcements when you pick up rare items so it says "playername has picked up rareitemname"?

Do people prefer it all to be hidden or do people like it enabled for some sort of transparency?

i like the idea of item drops being announced when its something uber but i dont think player name as such, feel it promotes said player to be hunted by the majority who will want said item and would then make it hard for the person to enjoy there item no? especially on high user count servers

Personally I’ve done anything over lvl40 announced from what mob dropped. Also chucked XP pots in there aswell and this works quite well imo as these are in all the mobs not just bosses and casuals will be happy to see they have a chance

I think I like the idea of it announcing the item without mentioning the player who got it, so rather than announce on pickup, it announces when it immediately drops from a mob drop. - Could put the mob in there, to say "Dark Devil dropped a Dragon Slayer!" - but I guess then it takes some of the mystery of "where it dropped"

We shall see..! thanks for the feedback

yeah... sometimes it's fun to lie about where you got something so that other people don't start hunting it more >_>

that’s defo the easiest option for a GM as it’s just one tick in the DB box job done

agreed having a shout saying the item dropped without player name or mob name would be best, although if the rate of drops is low may be abit better to let others have a few runs at it to increase chances
