"pick up everything" hotkey
« on: December 15, 2011, 02:24:38 am »

Pretty self explanatory...

To be used outside of combat and affecting all items (any number and types) in the hex you're standing, up to your carry weight...

A crtl + G or shift + G for example...

Big time signed.

Also maybe in addition to take all, how about give all?  I.e. take all in reverse.

Good idea. Along with the key to highlight items on ground, this is a must have.

No.

You wanna be a jackass sneaking ninja looter fine.   ;)

But don't be a lazy prick and ask for a feature to help you with it ::).

Because everyone wanting more convenience is a "jackass sneaking ninja looter", hm? Besides that there is already a "take all" function in normal loot window, other games using the "place all" function, people using this are "jackass ninja looters"? A... *looks at Username* - nevermind.

  In this case yes.

this is assuming the body is still intact, whereas their backpack is still intact, whereas it makes sense you can take all at once, as you just grab the backpack.  But what if the body is not intact?  What if it has already replicated?  Seems like he just wants an easier way to grab all that extra shit real quick.

"place all" function?  Where is  this mentioned anywhere?  I don't....  *looks at username*   ::)

We need pick up all action.
It comes really handy in some situations.

Oh! Right! I forgot to add this... (Hopefully Wire reminded me - thx!)

Such action would take up more Action points...

Like 10-20 or 3x item types (but not amount especially in different packs) but not more than 20

I'd say it'd be best if it took 10 or characters max AP

A drop-everything-from-your-inventory hotkey would be nice to have as well.

Ummm no this is not for ninja looting. Just for ease of use when moving things around.  Place all would be great.

P.s.  It would also be nice if when taking ammo from a locker if it would work like picking up from the ground.  For example if you can hold 500 rounds and there's a 1000 rounds on the ground you just pick up the 500 you can carry.  Why not do that with lockers?  Instead of having to keep guessing what your maximum CW is.

 Practical impact of this hot key into PvP:

 During PvP, players loot stuff from dead players. If you can loot everything, i am afraid that sneak, bluesuit or proxy looters, who lost battle or who are not even from gangs participating in that fight, could parasite on other players effort. They could now too, but this change will simplify their looting effort.

 I know that it is hard to explain it to players or GMs, who did not ever play PvP since the start of open beta, but fact that someone who does not risk anything takes your prize realy piss PvP players.

 But okay! Let players use one shortcut that could loot everything. But also add some possibility to protect that loot. I.e.: Activated mine in your inventory, after corpse disapears, will detonate, if anybody walks over the hex to loot it all via shortcut. There is a possibility to deactivate it (traps skill).

 P.S.: please devs. Dont apply changes that pisses PvP players more and more. We lost name colourizing, because of few despotic and asocial opinions, dont do it again.

As i mentioned above an animation lasting for 10-20 AP would make looter vulnerable in combat endangering him... So it's not "nice and easy loot all quick" hotkey
