archivement trophies would be ok but we need to think bigger here if they give us to much for free, then to less people would pay for stuff
Yes I want some kind of looting, Not as hardcore as what I originally wanted it to be but something that can still hurt if taken.
This ideas kind of ties into the execution thread: If you do a longer riskier execute you could as a measure of taunting the player collect a trophy from him. I guess the first alien trophy of each faction would be a cosmetic item on your armour or hall but after that it'd just be for achievements and bonus XP. In regards to looting I will always have a negative opinion of stealing items from other players, and even worse, randomly generated items spawning on killed players. However there needs to be a reward of some sort so I think you simply get currency in the form of something abstract like... Renown. Which can be spent on acquiring gear and items from the factions quartermasters. I'm not really fond of the idea of losing items/renown if taken down because in a PvP game someone is always going to lose and lose a lot.
On today's second AMA they just confirmed there will be a Loot mechanic, but that they don't want it interfering you while you're out on the field, so you would most likely check out your loot when you make it back to your base, wherever that may be.
Makes sense! You can't really swap armor in the field very easily anyway in Lore (especially since suits need to be configured).
You guys are all not considering how much Orks have sticky fingers. A Bolter would fit right into their hands and they'd totally grab one and immediately use it. A mek would probably even weld a traitor bolter, an Eldar shuriken launcher and a Marine plasma gun together to make some kustom mega-blasta. Or just use the guns right away. Orks should be able to immediately use loot they grab from enemy races. I guess with some maluses at first because it's unusual to them but a boomstick is a boomstick. Ork liek boomstick.
Totally, I guess one Ork-specific or Loota-specifis ability would be to be able to use other races' loot, unless it's too complex. But in the case of other races, for various reasons they would not use another faction's technology. - Eldar are too stubborn and stuck up to use "lesser technology". - Space Marines are purists that won't touch anything Xenos or Chaos with a 6 feet pole. - Chaos actually might take any gear they find. - Orks will loot whatever they find as you say.
I can definitely see a perk for an Ork Loota that once he executes another player can choose to steal his weapon (or atleast a basic weapon based on that faction.)
That's not a bad mechanic! Suppose orks need a bit of a buff considering they're going to be the f2p horde at launch. Though it would be very hard for them to maintain the weapons from other factions.
