Looting corpses

Can we maybe adjust the rules on looting other players corpses at least for the alpha in its current state? As it stands when you die you drop a bunch of materials and need to run back to your corpse to get them back. There's no restrictions on who can loot the materials and basically 99% of the time someone else has already gotten there first. It's extremely frustrating in the current state of the game when aggro is pretty janked up, mobs spawn on top of you and bugged mobs can suddenly become unstuck and attack you.

There's no consequences either for people who steal "stolen" items. They're marked that way, hinting that a system is intended, but there's nothing you can do about it if someone steals from you. I'd imagine they should be flagged in some way and you should be able to fight them for your stolen stuff but as it stands there's no reason not to loot someone else's corpse which just feels a bit shitty.

Yesterday there was a massive boss fight that wiped out about 20 people and there were scavengers waiting on the side just running around looting people as they died. It just feels bad all around.

I Think it needs to be a bit more complicated honestly. Anyone should still be able to loot you when you die thats part of the consequences of dying. But the system is missing something, maybe the person gets flagged or certain items are marked and can be tracked to who stole them before they fence it off for big money or something. Its just missing some things but im sure there working on something.

We just learned two days ago that players will be flagged for PvP if they loot someone's corpse that is not in their party.

It's already on its way.

So they added this, but i've watched people loot bodies...they are marked for such a short time, if no one else is around that feels like they want to take down this person they seem to quickly lose the corruption so what does it matter? The current corruption for stealing is way too forgiving to truly discourage it, no one seems to care. Currently it's not terrible, being a paid into alpha, the community isn't fully of a bunch of assholes, but I'm worried on full release, the game will become so full of higher level people who get their kicks farming anyone lower than them it'll end up ruining the game for a lot of people.

I'm not big into PVP but ok with it being an aspect of this game, however a level 30 being able to stop around killing people who are say lvl 15 or lower doesn't feel good to me.

Frankly, it's bad design, for all the reasons set out above

Those looting corpses should have an increased risk for their potential reward, at present, there's very little to none and, the better way to play the game seems to be waiting for player deaths and scavenging instead of, actually playing the game.

I am a fan of a 5 minute force flag, equally a fan of the person whom has looted your corpse being tracked as a red dot on your minimap for the duration of the flag, allowing some potential justice

That said, you then will probably find they're hacking with endless amount of health as you confront them in hopes of taking back your earned loot

Not good times

People are still very wary of flagging up purple. If somebody takes your loot, it's up to your group to flag and take it back. If the looter gets away with your drops, it's not on the looter, it's on your group.
