Petition to change the Loot Drop System

quicklite: Now you can just tag along and do nothing, even shooting once is more helpful than that. Also you often don't have enough information, you can shoot convoy once, escape, but how would you know when to teleport back for loot?

[quicklite]

Well, yeah, I guess you could do that. But with convoys overlapping fortresses as well as the close spacing of fortresses and convoys, seeing all the flashy loot zones all lighting up may be an eyesore at best, and an aggravation at worst. Although you could have loot zones light up on convoys/fortresses currently being attacked, that might feel kinda weird.

hmm the light up bit doesnt sound helpful but i agree with everything else pretty much

I think that another good parameter might be that you have to be within a certain range of the convoy (Maybe firing range of your tank) for a certain amount of time (2-3 or % seconds?) in order to qualify for loot. This will help because even though you might not be able to do any damage (imagine 50 tanks instabursting a convoy and you not being able to receive loot for playing a lower dps tank.

Lights:
Don't forget: If you're in range you get loot.
Insta-killed convoy would mean no one had time to qualify for a 'targeting' requirement. Everyone in range would get loot however.

I suggest that you have to contribute to the fight, not necessarily damage.
For example, if you stun or paralyze the enemy, and you're using a low dps tank, it's hard to get a sb.
Just a suggestion from someone who plays Hurricane.

@everyone who seems to be forgetting...

I don't think anyone here wants competitive loot (a la RotMG SB system)

If you are in range you will get loot, as is currently the case.
