Guild Wars 2

The daily chest reward for completing an event has always been account wide, but the lootable chests that spawn after killing an event boss were character based.

So, if you have more than one character you can do the event once daily on each one.

Now it seems you cannot, there is one chest per account, per day, period. ???

Is it just me who noticed this stealth nerf, or are there other event hunters like myself who this affects?

or is it a bug of my game?

EDIT: or did they change the way the chests reset, instead of when the dailies reset to a 24 hour reset period from last kill of that character?

When this happened did you camp with your character there? Have you done anything in between?
You will not receive the boss chest (but you could receive the medal) if you do nothing in between.
E.g. killing Tequatl with a character and then log out/ switch to another character. Then after the reset you log in (doesn’t matter how many real life days lies in between), kill him again with the same character, but did nothing in between (e.g. events, changing maps, doing pre events, etc.).

I described it here:

ye I never camp at the event spawn points, I do stuff in between (other events, JP’s etc..) never just camping, and they are all level 80, its possible I did it about 23 hours ago.. but I’m sure they used to reset when the dailies reset, I’ll try again in 24 hours, I’ve time stamped when I killed it last.

You might keep us updated. Good to know for us as well if and what changed.
:-)
Good luck!

There were reports a little while back of DR kicking in hard for people running ALTs on world bosses. If these ALTs weren’t played much outside of the area they were ‘parked’ it seemed they were getting permanent DR from the world boss. Even just doing stuff around the world boss was not enough to cancel out the DR, supposedly.

Not sure if this might have something to do with what you are experiencing.

ignore my crazy ramblings, it’s fine now, it was either a temporary but or I messed up the timing, but confirmed as requested, you can still do each event with an alt once daily to get the lootable spawned chest.

Thanks for telling us!

And nice you receive your deserved chest(s) again. :-)

If they were changed, I welcome it b/c the drops seem quite a bit better than what I WAS getting on my one lousy tour per day…

I don’t think people * should be * doing these on the hour across every Alt. Or if they are they should only be getting more of a character-bound reward like Karma or “soulbound on aquisition” stuff.
