Decay time & Loot rights

I haven't tested this recently, but I think it has never been fixed (correct me if I'm wrong) :


When a monster dies, he stays in "decay mode" for about 5 minutes. For the 3 first minutes, only the owner has loot rights (who the owner is depends on loot policy). Then, after the third minute (till the end of the five minutes decay time), every player can loot the dead monster, no matter the race or level (of course, if (playerLevel - monsterLevel) >= 10 (and drop reduction is enabled), then the player should not be able to see the drop list of the monster, except if the drop is no_reduction).

And, if the owner of the loot rights disconnect then reconnect during those 3 minutes, he should still be able to loot the monster, and only him (dc/rc don't change loot rights before those 3 minutes are over).

At last, the monster should stay in decay mode for about 10-15 minutes if the player keeps looking at the loot list, not 5 minutes, and if the original 5 minutes are over but player is still looking at the loot list, then stops looking at it, the monster should despawn immediately).


I think that's all concerning monsters decay/despawn.


Please, feel free to tell me your opinions and retail behavior.

 

afaik if he recons he cant loot , once dc'ed he cant loot
maybe someone who's ig can confirm it

Edit : 2 days ago it was like this ...

 

Is this for bosses too? Because in retail when people sell looting rights, it's longer than 3 minutes for them to be able to loot the boss.

 

uh if u brought this up , wanted to ask , even if a player doesnt have VIP is there a time limit to trade instance items ? As like 5 minutes from looting to be able to trade it or even put it in broker. If not ...would be great to have it>.>

 

hummm 5mins to trade it outside of group will clearly not happen

 

Maybe timeout loot is based on NPC type (regular, legendary, etc) ? I need someone who can confirm it, please.

 

Yes, upon a disconnect of any sort (Sendlog, relog) if someone was looting the corpse, the corpse locks and others in the party cannot loot it no matter what.

Tested of this morning.
