NEW UPDATE~
(Multiplayer)
Quick Summary:
Leechers - Owned. Drops in Multiplayer up 50%!
I have implemented some new leecher penalties in multiplayer. If you sit back and do nothing, you will get less or no experience. If you sit back and do not help, then you also cannot pick up any item drops from that round.
Notes:
- Each time Engage is clicked, the stats on each player is reset to zero. So, if someone leeches in phase 1, and gets 0 xp, and cannot pick up items, they could still help in the second engage, and get exp/items assuming they didn't leech again.
- Yes, Healers are factored in.
- Yes, it's 100% fair. Try it yourself and see.
Goal:
To stop people from sitting back and doing nothing, or very little help in a group. Attempts to attack are at least better than sitting there doing nothing. Side effect, also penalizes those that jump the gun and stop attacking monsters too early to try and nab items. Now, they might not be able to get it at all, if they didn't help enough compared to others that are!
Have fun, hope this helps you guys out.
[edit] The drops are 50% MORE than what Single Player is! Just a clarification.
noooo there goes my item snatching skills
