Suggestion/Comments:
Loot beams are hard to see, there is an opportunity to modernize them.
Loot beams are hard to see, there is an opportunity to modernize them.
The situation of loot beams in some activities:
0 Crinding: the loot beam is usually ignored, because it doesn't show anything you need to know, beyond "there is loot here". Or you want to make sure you loot everything when grinding for treasures, in that case the loot beam is usually hard to see in the pile of corpses.
0 World/field boss: the loot beam is ignored (pets) or hard to see when you need to see it, such as Garmoth's large arena, or a field boss's open-field situation.
If anything, I firstly suggest changing this effect to something different.
0 Maybe have someone on the art team give it a refresh?
In addition, I also suggest making the size and color of the loot beam change based on whats in the loot.
0 It's color based on the highest rarity color of the item within.
0 It's size and brightness based on the rarity tier
0 Example: if your loot is only trash, it will show up white, if you get trash and a blue ring, it's blue, as that's the higest rarity color between the ring and the trash
These suggestions could be added as an optional setting
Thanks for reading, here are some visualizations of different colors of our current loot beam I did for fun

Honestly I'd love this, even though our pets pick up items so fast I probably wouldn't even notice, but it would be a nice quality of life change.
While they're at it, please get rid of the "DING" sound that plays when we get a rare item off of Sharp and Hard Black Crystal Shards when we open Shakatu/Lottery Boxes please PA, ty. It's so misleading.

I'm upvoting this because I've been playing since just before second anniversary, and my reaction was "BDO has loot beams?"

Phenomenal suggestion. Since Choice helped determine that loot was indeed "on kill" rather than on pickup, this would help players tremendously. Who knows what has been left on the ground by us and our pets while grinding all this time? They've seemingly been taking pages from Runescape 3's book for a while now, and this is yet another feature that would be very welcome. I'll link some of Runescape 3's examples in the attached images/gifs. They can be quite cool, fun, and visually distinct.
To the GM / PA representative reading this, to get y'all to actually implement this, here's one on the house: Implement this and sell different particle effects/ special-themed loot beams for holidays and tie specific in-game achievements to differently patterned loot beams. It'll make you a metric ton of money, help repopularize knowledge/ achievement hunting, and further aid your company in falling into ADA compliance while operating in the U.S. through further provisions for color blindness and accessibility.

+1 Loot beams need to change.
Im having a hard time with my eyes even seeing if theres loot left behind.
Now i wait a good 5-10 seconds ber big packs to make sure everything's looted by pets.
Everything's near the same color.
