Groups shared rewards

Personally I don't like the new "oh person that does most damage receives a truck load of stuff". Everyone knows spellweavers does most of the damage and dragon knights tank (ranger and steam tech somewhere in between), that's what they're strategically for ! So now you've forced spellweavers not to use their high powered spells which is part of the reason why they're needed in groups anyways... doesn't seem to make much sense.

 

I don't know who told you that or how did it figured out, but that's not correct. The damage output let's say in a group of 5 in a Parallel World map doesn't affect the drop rate itself. But a fast farming group, somehow gets more drops, so if you group is cleaning a Q map fast everyone in the group will get more drops, not better just more, even that it's not 100% sure, but it looks like that from my experience.

My guess, you probably misunderstand the "Kill Steal" note and you think that this affects members in a group or that's not the case?

 

Yep, I noticed this thing too. when I go with my guild (good group) then droprate is much bigger.

And also, when I was playing with my little ranger, and teamed up with mage, only mage was getting loot and I only got boxes. I don't know if its intended, but this is really annoying.

 

nope its not true.. i remember doing lots of tests on the drop rate with bunch of my friends. one thing is for sure ppl with better group tend to clear map more quicker and hence it looks as if they get better drop.

few days back i had a stupid ring and i id like 100's rings nothing usefull ever came up. but now since i got a ring of death all the rings i id are far better than what i used to get. still.. this is just observation.

i have heard so many dks getting full dmg ring and belt. 2years in this game.. and i still cant find one

 

Hmmm not sure about dungeon clearing, I've been soloing dungeons lately... I'm talking about boss killing. When I went to kill Sigris with a group of 1 dk,2 rangers, a steam tech, and a mage the mage wouldn't use the spell destruction, so freaking pissed. Also with a group of 2 dk and 3 rangers I get more stuff so not really sure what's happening

 

I don't understand what you're saying. What is the fact that the Mage was not using Destruction supposed to mean?

The kill steal stuff is for wilderness, as far as I can tell. Players were getting frustrated when others walked by and got last hit and the drop. Doing work only for some guy to walk in and steal your drop doesn't sound very appealing to anyone.

In a group, however, whether someone contributes or not does not affect drops, as once a monster is dead, the entire group gets the drop. You could not kill-steal your groupmates so I doubt the kill steal update changed anything in that aspect.
