While that 60 second countdown is running, and a rez is possible, I would like to not be able to loot other people. At least let us test this for a while. Combined with the insta-looting we have now, I feel it's a little too easy. With my suggestion, it introduces a bit more risk for the aggressors.

It's also an issue in raids, where you may die to the worldboss and get a rez, but anyone can pick up your loot immediately. It can happen accidentally, when people loot the adds the boss spawns for example.

Alternatively you can reintroduce the longer loot times of older builds, where you can be interrupted, but ONLY for looting other players. I would prefer my suggestion above though, where people save their loot if rezzed.

    Instanced raid with closed group, perhaps a cool down.

    For pve death, perhaps some tolerance between party death and solo.

    For pvp, pk death, no..

    Many times in L2 with chance to drop on death in early game pvp and later game limited to pk`ers, the chance to lose your stuff came with the risk.. and sometimes it paid off, sometimes not.

    Quite satisfying to pickup someone`s gear that was killed when red, quite the opposite when on the other end.

    well looting keeping as it is alldo with the addition that other players only can loot up to 50% out of your body. meaning
    you die and 50% of gathereble ress are in the corpse now 50% of what is in could be looted by other players. so if the dead players manages to get to tis body he can reduce the loss from 50% to 25% if no pother player looted then he can get away without loss like its currently.

    within is also room to add a death penalty.

    but i must say i rather have the deathpenalty in form of money needed to pay to your main church as a way to counter the inflation that may occure if not enouth money gets pulled out of the system

    You can loot it yourself.
    Just press E as soon as you die so no one else gets the chance.


    I don't believe it will stay the way it is so I'm not to worried about it at its current state.

    While I am for pvp...this issue handled poorly will cause ALOT of casuals (the people that tend to stay and pay) to leave imo. How many people are going to get ganked while fighting a hard quest mob or boss? This will degenerate into people just loading stuff into banks prior to heading out or mailing it to a bank alt(if mail is ingame).

    Huh.. never tried that. Will try next time servers are up. But yeah that surely isn't intended.
