One big discussion that was going on was the new loot/dropp collection system, yet on the annoucement it doesn't mention the change to it, what's with thus? are they sticking to the current? or was it just not mentioned for some reason?

Much like hearts themselves. I don't see this as much of a bad change, it encourages teamwork. If you think about it, it also encourages the team to split up if the crowns and heat ends up getting scattered and regroup when they ain't anymore.

I think its mainly to encourage people to rev. Now if ur dead, you cant earn crowns. Seems like a bit of a money grab now, since almost all revs now require ce. Didnt realize that till i thought about it a little

S/he didn't ask about the new system, s/he just wanted to know if it was being implemented or not.
@OP
No-one knows. It wasn't in the announcement, so I'm cautiously hoping that they got the idea that the community hated the idea.
But I doubt it. Especially now with the new revive system, because people wouldn't really revive if they were getting money anyway.
I can always hope, though..

Quote from Owlert: "alt dragging"
That says everything. Only because of that, this change will go live. The last 2 years (!!!) it was exploited as there would be no day and night and completely normal. Everyone which is mad about the new loot and reviving system, should say thanks to these exploiters.

Except that you can still drag alts around, just keep them in the beginning/party button where they can't be damaged (they can get damaged when the party button is in the middle of a combat zone, but even then it's not 100% that the alt will die twice), plus even with the backtracking time to get the loot it's still faster than doing the whole level again, so no, this damned thing wasn't made to stop alt-dragging there are more efficient methods that wouldn't get in the way of players like doing the "how active you were for the team" like in LD/BN, making alt-draggin a ban-able offence, lowering the idle time before DC when 2/more accounts from the same IP are on a party, the list goes on.
And since I don't believe that the devs would be stupid by making a flawed system that aside from not doing it's job right still gets in the way of players I assume that it's true objective is probably just to make people use their sparks/ce to revive and get the loot instead of waiting until next depth, just like Solest said (an unhelpful mechanic which gets in the way of parties just so the probability of OOO getting some money from revives get higher).
Right now, just one person has to pick up the loot and heat and the whole party gets it, even if they are down. Now everyone has to pick up there own heat and crowns and such.
