Just one small correction. I had to do the math to be sure since I think you just misspoke at the end of the NoDrop section by accident. As you increase the number of party members close to you, your experience goes up but the NoDrop goes DOWN as N increases. This results in DROPS going up and not NoDrop going up as the number of party members in proximity increases.

So if I a regular mob is spawned at players 8 and everyone leave the game except you does the monster still have the increase drop chance of the players 8 it spawned at?

Very helpful video but there are some questions I’ve never found answers to; 1) If playing in 2 person online pt, in reference to item drop rate, do both players have to be near by AND alive? If one is dead, does it still give the drop rate bonus if both are close? ( it works with quests completion so maybe?) 2) With super chests; a) Do the 2 players have to be near by b) and BOTH alive? ( for “no drop” drop rate) Is just being in the same zone for super chests enough? Again, all these questions are for 2 person party. I am aware of the 1,3,5,7 bonus for un-partied. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! Much appreciated explanations as always. I was a bit confused as to the 1/3/5/7 conversation about nodrop. Are you saying players 2/4/6/8 will have the same nodrop as players 1? I'm a noob and my interpretation is that every even player count isn't just the same nodrop as the previous players count, but is useless

@DevilsM4rk 2 жыл бұрын

Players 2 will have the same drop rates as players 1. 4 is the same as 3. 6 is the same as 5. 8 is the same as 7. The odd numbers are the breakpoints for loot drop but XP and challenge will still increase on even numbers.

@a3wagner 2 жыл бұрын

And the reason for that is because players in the game who aren't near you in your party only count as half a player for the purposes of nodrop, and the calculation rounds down. So /players 2 simulates one other person not in your party, which counts as half a player, which gets rounded down to 0 other players (no benefit).

I heard that Countess farming is better at lower players (Players 1 vs Players 8). They said it had something to do with replacing her potential rune drops with items or something at a higher player level. Is this true? I couldn't find much information on this. All I have is it *seemed* better at players 1 vs players 8, but it could just be a luck thing.

@kylehuartson9448 2 жыл бұрын

Countess has multiple drop tables. The quest drop table, monster drop. Quest drop table isn't affected by players but monster drop is. So the answer is both yes, and no. This is why she always drops a rune, but sometimes 2 or 3 runes, and keys, and items. She's a bit confusing to think about. Beyond that different mini bosses ect, function differently. Llama explains it well. Countess is a bit different than pindle or shenk because of her drop tables.

@lurker7804 2 жыл бұрын

I know you talked about this before and how it would be difficult to do for online play - BUT - I really think that if you are online in a game alone and you set player, it locks the game from others joining. This lock stays in affect for the duration of the game. No one can join. This simply fixes any complexity and still allows for online players to get some of the offline benefits.
