A Delayed Item Pick Up...

[TheDarkSenshi]

Hello Community! I would like to take a few minutes of your time to address a problem with picking up drops. Please if you could, vote and possibly give your opinion!

So myself and others have noticed a delay in picking up drops from mobs. There's about a 3-5 sec period on where you can't pick up your drop. Then once you can pick it up, you have about 20 seconds...maybe less to get one or all of your drops before they disappear into thin air.

I would just like to know if anyone else in the Community has realized this "glitch". I also would like to point out that becuz of these delays, slime beans are going to waste. As you all know slime beans are 30mins long. With these delays, the use of a bean is cut down by at least 10-15mins. Which is a potential problem seeing as how people spend real money on these items.

So, how do we address this problem? Submitting a ticket to Outspark's CSR is one idea. Voting and expressing your opinion is another. Doing both is a wonderful idea so let's do this and get this problem solved!

Vote and Discuss!~

Omg. Please fix this. It's so annoying. I've noticed how much this can hurt in the Lib. Tons of monsters means tons of drops. And with this delay, you can lose quite a bit of these drops. Really annoying.

Please fix this!

It depends annoying factor is dependant on the map. For maps like the library where everything is killed off at the same time real quickly it's very noticeable, I imagine if 2 xens dropped in there and no one got it the party would be like OMG WTH. Meanwhile in normal maps below east eir when going solo I pick up my drops after a few things die, hit again a few times, pick up, and repeat so it's not as annoying for me. In the East eir maps people are constantly killing while gathering and they normally have a healer who picks up the drop while gathering and during kills so the chance of losing loot through this isn't as big.

For all we know it was intended to slow down the amount of krons we bring in into the game <.<. Anyways I'll reserve my vote for now but do agree in certain maps, under certain situation it can be very annoying. The library is a prime example of that.

Lol..i think someone is obsessed with the kron issue.

Senshi is right. This extremely annoying and needs to be fixed. Random people can just pick your drops because you can't pick it up. The time it takes for someone else to pick up stuff you drop is also now a lot shorter. I dont like it at all. Imagine PoX with drops like this? A lot of mad ppl...lol.

[deoxys114]

Lol Riku. The time to pick up others' drops was shortened back when the Pt Dungeon was released. Or maybe a little afterwards.

I've noticed that when I'm solo, there's no delay in picking up the items. In a party however, the delay is there. It's likely a glitch related to the new method of dividing the drops - sequential - which also doesn't seem to work right, by the way. It doesn't matter if the divide is random or sequential; both cause a delay.

When I bind in Lost Bryn, I also pick up the drops if there's no healer or potion mule with us. The delay causes me to stand there for at least 5 full seconds with nothing but "cannot pick up item" scrolling along the side of the screen. That's time I could be helping kill.

This delay is annoying and totally unnecessary. Please, please, please, put item pickup back the way it was. (And make the sequential division ACTUALLY sequential.)

i got delayed too ,lame

[wardomic]

Item pick up has been delayed twice actually. The first time was around the time the party dungeon came out, and now again when they messed with the item divide. And no I'm not obsessed with the kron issue tomcat, however I wouldn't put it past Outspark to introduce things like this "unintentionally*. I forsee a time when when the economy of adeline and marian will become similar, tho adeline always being more expensive and not everything will be valued the same. As well as quests actually being worth it.

i have noticed the delay in item pick up. and tbh its driving me crazy, as a healer its normally my job to pick up items and its taking wayyyyyyyyy too long, and loads of items disapear b4 u can get to pick them up. this needs to be fixed NOW its no fun watching rare gears drop and then they go poof b4 u can get to them :(

Yes, you're right. When they introduced the new graphics effects, they made the items take longer to pick up because of a "fade" animation. Annoying, I agree, but not nearly as annoying as this new incarnation. Together, however... :mad:

dumb poll

how its glitched is, the drops don't realize ur in a party,
normally, wen ur not in a party and more then one person attacks a monster, and an item drops from the monster, the drop goes to one of the people attacking it, if he don't grab it, it takes a few seconds to pick up for the other people, well, normally wen this happens in a party, anyone in the party can grab it, but it don't now, it just acts liek ur not in a party with anyone....

Its not always consistently as you state. Sometimes it will allow immediate pickup and other times it delays it. Also, being in a party of an aoer and a healer, as the aoer I have seen the delays when I am the only one killing.

[comp4ssion]

This drives me nuts when I'm candy hunting with my Archer. It's gotten to the point where the low leveled players don't even bother hunting their own santa lair drops anymore, they just pick off mine when I kill a large mob. OS should look at this soon.

[dylanangel]

Ok I voted fix it now because of an instance when we were aoeing in a map with more than one party aoeing in it. My pet on bean was stealin the other persons drops because they were not able to pick them up in time. I dont care to steal other peoples items. Its extremely annoying to have already killed your mob, have a pet on bean and the pet standing on an item way longer than it needs to. Its also annoying to duo go for an item and it tell you that you can not pick it up, stand there for a period of time or the other person run and pick it up and you end up with the stupid item anyway. Please fix this and NO this is not a stupid poll considering real life monies being put into a fail item

Quote for truth, i agree with what u said Dylan. Very annoying bug that need to be fixed quick.

[AnimePimp66]

I mob all map, kill it, go gather another mob, half way killing it, and my 2 bears are still fighting on picking up the drops from my first mob. not mentioning that half the drops already disappeared.

The item picking rate is so slow, annoying, and kinda stupid.

The most annoying thing, is in the dungeons. when u have 2+ players with beans on. the pets stand over the drop for like 5 sec, don't pick it up, then move on another drop, then 2 other pets stand over that same first drop for 5 sec, till one of them decide to pick it up ><, that if it didn't disappeared already.

Why would i pay for beans when i can pick up the drops faster then my pets? (including having to spam alt or click 100 times on the drops, and i still pick it up faster then my bears)

this "glitch" appeared since the update of the 23rd November i guess, since the mount issue. I posted it in bug sections, but i guess i lost my post. ill try to find the real date.


Edit : I found it, its from the 11/25/2009 update



...

Bug : Slow motion picking up drops
Desc: Pressing alt or clickin on drops to pick it up
Symptoms: The drops kinda "fades away" when we pick them, and it takes more time to pick up the drops then it use to b4 the maintenance

[doninpon]

um.. they just want us to buy more beans?... idk just a thought xD

[TheDarkSenshi]

Thank you everyone for voting & posting. Rubix and rider are now aware of the situation but that doesnt mean it'll get fixed right away. So keep voting and turning in CSR reports.

[Rorin_V]

Patch notes say it's been addressed in this maintenance. Hopefully it has!

I'd also like to know who the ONE person is that hasn't seen a delay. Probably someone who never parties with anyone...

[wardomic]

It seems to have been fixed during the maint, as well as Sequential Division which is working as it should now.

[nad_papillon]

it hasn't been fixed, there's still a delay in picking up. I hope they fix it b4 the POX, or it's really gonna ****

[Rorin_V]

Also appears fixed to me. No problems picking up piles of drops in the Library. Thank you guys for fixing this!

[wardomic]

The problem that occured when sequential item drop was given to us was fixed, the problem of items requiring a split second longer to pick up(Fade animation) still exists however it's not as big of a deal.
