Make "Auto Roll for Loot" the Default

"Auto Roll for Loot" should be turned on by default.
Options > Controls > Auto Roll for Loot

 

It didn't used to be the default, but I believe it is checked by default now....

 

OK, good if Auto Roll is the default.
I met a player in Eastreach Gap today who was not aware of it.

 

It would also be nice to add an option to have a decline threshold.

Additionally, moving auto-roll to the side of the server instead of the client would drastically improve performance. Currently there are unnecessary network waits on auto-roll that are creating unnecessary lag in the process.

 

Most parties I've been in just have the loot threshold set to "1" which means that every individual reagent has to go through the roller, which just seems horribly inefficient not to mention what it does to my chat log. There's nothing wrong with dividing all this stuff evenly, I don't object to that, but it would be nice if (related to this request) we could see the loot rolling system expanded a bit to add specific filters. Quite often, even distribution of junk picked up results in someone becoming overburdened with all the crap weaponry etc. but there's no way to NOT roll on certain things and if you don't turn your auto roll on at all, it just holds up everyone else and in these scenarios, everyone tells that person to turn it on :x

Personally, I'd prefer not to roll on rusty silverware, dirty dishes, etc. that just results in pointless clutter. But because the only filter we have is "value" this doesn't help.

It'd be nice to see something like:
Auto roll on:
[x] Reagents
[x] Crafting Materials
[x] Supply Bags
[x] Artifacts
[x] Equipment
[ ] Kitchen implements and cutlery
[ ] Crappy food
[x] Recipes

And unselected ones it simply declines. If everyone declines, the item gets vaporized and the body disappears.

Or just add a filter by name exclusion list. I would absolutely personally take the time to add the dozens of things I never want to pick up, ever.

 

I'd also like to see stacks be divided evenly instead of rolled on.

I just wiped and reinstalled SotA because it developed a crash bug.
So I can confirm that "Auto Roll for Loot" is still currently off by default.

Please make "Auto Roll for Loot" on by default.

Also:
- "Auto-Attack" should be off by default. (Auto-Attack really should be removed from the game.)
- "Show Translated Location Names" should be on by default. Having location names translated by default would really help with new player retention.

I personally do not want auto attack removed.

 

Nor do I .

 

Why? What good would this do for the game? If you don't want auto-attack then turn it off. I don't speak for others but if they removed it from the game then they effectively remove me from the game too.

 

Auto-Attack makes the game feel less immersive. It makes combat feel like you are just an observer, instead of actually being involved in a fight. Since there's no input tied to Auto-Attack, it removes a lot of the small quick decisions that are normally required in combat. Which results in bland and boring combat.

If Auto-Attack is to remain in the game, it should at least be turned off by default.

 

According to you.

 

Some play styles actually use auto attack, I don't see a reason to take the option away.
