Re: Raiding/ Bosses (LET me get your INPUT!)
yeah I'm actually really curious and excited to see how PvE will work in Huxley. I was drawn into the game completely for the PvP portion of the game (huge battles with big guns sound awesome to me lol). But more and more I'm getting interested by how the PvE will work.
As for how looting will work. I don't think anyone knows if there will even be huge PvE raids, but if there are they could do it in a few ways, i'll just explain some for the sake of making discussion: ok most of them were bad ideas so I'll try to make some that might work lol. discussion:
1. Basically exactly how WoW works. When you're grouped for a PvE instance and you kill a bunch of mobs each player takes turns having the right to loot the mob that everyone killed. So if you're in a 4 man squad and you killed 4 things together, then each person would be able to loot 1 mob. You would loot the mob by running up to it, aiming down at it and pressing a button (we'll say "L" for loot, but make it whatever you please). Once you press "L" a screen will pop up that contains the loot and you pick whatever you want from it. Bosses could also work by having a rolling system: boss dies, someone presses the loot button, a rolling thing comes up, you roll, whoever wins gets the item if they want it.
2. The mobs that get killed could automatically deposite their loot into your inventory right when they die (if you have enough room that is). This might be a bad idea because if it's a bunch of stuff you don't want then it would just fill up your inventory with clutter.
3. When a mob dies, whatever it carries could just fall onto the ground. The person who's turn it is to get the loot would be the only one who would be able to pick these items up by walking over to them, aiming down at them and pressing "L"
4. PvE loot could be basically taken out all together (after all what the hell do crazy hybrids carry that we could use?) The loot could be gained from missions only, maybe with an extra money bonus for how many hybrids you killed, and special missions for bosses so you can get a nice item if you manage to take out a boss.
