I don't get it. Nobody likes to pick up Stun, Freeze, or any of the throwable vials, nobody likes to pick up minerals, but as soon as a health pill drops, everyone IMMEDIATELY stops whatever the hell they're doing and sprints on top of it like flies on a turd and then complains when they don't get it and begs for it.
Seriously, what the hell?
I'm guessing that you are playing in random parties since those are the kind of players you usually encounter there,play with friends or guild members you know well and this stuff won't happen. People you know are more friendly of course and usually share health capsules without having to ask. Also kinda sucks that people prefer not pick vials,they can be really helpful (like poison against jelly king)
I only get annoyed by people monopolosing Health Pills if my health is low.
The worst time for it to happen is when you're in desperate need of one but a member of the team with 3 Health Caps uses one while standing over a dropped one to heal a minor notch on their health. It happened to me once; he was rude to every party member in the group, noob-called us all for the tiniest thing he disagreed with and blamed us for his frequent deaths. Good thing he wasn't the party leader or he'd have ragebooted us all, but the leader wouldn't boot him.
I usually monopolize health pills to keep my party's health low.
The best time to do this is when more than 3 pills drop and you're high on health. You can stand over it and pop a pill before they even see it just to get rid of it. I can usually do this more than once per run; my party members are so naive... Oh god you guys have no idea! Sometimes I even die while doing this, you should see how ticked people get at you when you die cuz you're tired and lazy. Trick is to blame them. They'll believe anything. No no no, the best is when you rageboot all of your party members when you're doing this. Strange thing is that people either kick you immediately or they don't. Once you know they don't.... oh boy.
If only there was some kind of upcoming change to the way loot drops to make it impossible to steal resources from fellow party members.
I see what you did there, Fehz
If only there was some kind of upcoming change to the way health revives work to make it impossible to get up and receive resources at all.
Fehzor always trying too hard to be a troll.
At least he's a troll with class though. And he's also a knowledgeable player.
Jean-Sarkzy always trying too hard to spot the trolls.
At least she's a troll hunter lacking class though. And she's new to the forums.
It's because health vials have a use. In tier 3, the same thing happens with remedies, because statuses can be really painful.
Statuses are just situational at best, and usually aren't useful at all. I honestly just gather sleep vials because I like hoarding my dream drugs. If you rely on statuses, you usually can bring specific equipment to guarantee the status you need. For example, you *can* hoard Freeze Vials to keep Vanaduke under control... or you can just bring a Shivermist. The only exception I can think of is maybe poison vials in the Royal Jelly Palace.
Also with status vials, it doesn't matter who grabs them, for as long as they are used, everyone benefits. In fact, if other people pick them up, then you can hold more. With Health pills and Remedies, you and only you are the one who benefits from them (unless you are using a pill to rev allies).
@OP That's why I'm practicing alot to be able to do Solo easily. The thing is that the rev update will make people go even more ape**** on health pills.
I always pick up Stun Vials. They make best fireworks at the elevator.
Well, if the gear is instanced then no one will care about when others steal their pills.
Stealing pills? Why can't you just buy it from Basil? xDD (Jk)
"he was rude to every party member in the group, noob-called us all for the tiniest thing he disagreed with and blamed us for his frequent deaths."
That's one selfish idiot there. :P
Nobody will be going ape**** over pills nor vials after the update. Hell, they won't even know when you pick one up, and you couldn't give it to them even if you wanted to!
In case you're still confused, all loot is instanced. The pills and vials that drop for you can't be seen by other party member and vice-versa. The dead trojan could drop a pill for the dead guy, a remedy for you, and nothing but crowns and heat for the other party member. The fourth? He said he would rather restart the tier for free than wait for you guys to finish or pay 20 CE for a revive.
Play the test server. They're 20 CE. Everyone who thinks they're 50 CE is either stupid or they're making assumptions based on someone else's stupdity. Sure, you can buy a single spark for 50, but you can also press "K" and buy 10 for 200.
rofl.
seriously, who needs pills? All you need is 1 free revive per level. like seriously man who needs health when you can die and regain full hp.
Owlert, it WAS 50 CE until they changed it. They've made some updates to it recently...for a while there it was 50 energy and I don't think anyone else has bothered to go and check.
Well that's a relief. And I had only heard about the 50ce fees, I never had access to the test server.
Well, it was announced officially by nick as 50CE flat per receive on the announcement so owlert is being pretty rude for calling players without access to testing stupid ignoramuses that are talking bull.
No bulk sale price was announced either.
And remember it is CE because there's no more mist, revives gone be expeeensive.
Unless you are talking about that one death just before Vanaduke you can simply just redo the whole level or something. No?
@OP I can't run without a shock, stun and/or poison vial because of my "OCD issues" with colors. Especially can't run without shock. I throw all freeze vials because I hate them, and fire vials are useless in the FSC I grind so many times anyway, and pills and remedies are bonuses. Heck, I collect all 3 and leave a Vanaduke run with all 3 unless I'm soloing. Even when me using that one freaking pill would have saved the party from wiping and needing to revive.
And must haz all Moonstone, cause they in pretty cyan.
No one I have ever meat begs for one unless they need it, if a party member actually needs the health then freaking give it to them.
