What do you think will be a good reason to subtract DKP in ESO?

Well DKP is not a direct concept or thing in an MMO, it is used by raid handlers to effectively see who has contributed and how much.

in that case (the source of the topic) i would say pulling the whole raid instance or just not do your "job" after a lot of retrys.

good thing in ESO is, if someone just fails nonstop, you can replace him easily by someone else changing his "job" ;)

Is it bad that I do expect them to eventually retcon a dragon in an some point?

All MMO's have lore-oops eventually and this one seems like the more obvious one to happen eventually.

It's just so painfully there that I feel as if were counting down to the time where some random obscure mythical kinda-dragon that really is a dragon comes out of some time rift or such or something whenever.

I can just feel it coming.

Forgetting to roll out of bad is a 50 DKP minus!

Aww makes me somewhat sad that personalized loot will do away with funny junk like that XD oh well I guess it's for the best. Still I think it's possible with maybe guild prizes or something? Depends on if guilds have a way of generating revenue as an entity.

I can't say I would be too disappointed, I mean Death Wing was cool. I mean i know his entire existence made no sense and all, but a massive, armored dragon that's also on fire? Pssht I get to kill a dragon that's on fire!

It's like a missile launching T-Rex riding a laser shark.

P.S. That should be a Dwemer construct dungeon boss.

What is it with people using obscure acronyms without explanation? Does it make you feel like you're in some leet club?

Anyway, having googled it, there's no need for such a system. ZOS has hit upon the genius solution of letting every player roll on a separate loot table. No more bickering over who gets what.

i am pretty sure that the loot system for raids can be converted, so the raid leader can loot all the loot if he wants. AND then distribute them.

It's just a running gag for MMO players, 50 DKP minus is like Leroy Jenkins.

>_> Somebody is grouchy.

Oh I don't doubt the effectiveness of a AI decided distribution system. Just reminiscing about silly stuff.

:tongue:

Probably a tad. Joke threads are fine, 'twould just be nice if folks actually explained themselves. Quit making me google, typing is exhausting! lol

I just can't understand why games with loot-sharing ever got so popular. I can't think of anything more odious than playing tug of war with that +50 sword of pwnage.
