Guild Wars 2

I was getting them earlier, but after logging out of the game for a few hours and then logging back, none of the ~5 champions I’ve killed so far have dropped anything. Is there a time limit on champion rewards?

Is it the same champions as earlier?

Wait, Champion rewards are limited to one time per day? That’s kind of crap, a Champion is a Champion, it should either have its reward or not.

I don’t agree with this – does it make sense to sit there and farm the troll for in Queensdale who spawns every 5 minutes for endless loot? Come on.

The Guandarran Fields Meta event spawns very frequently and has 5 champs during the chain + a chest. If they did not limit the champ. drops people would farm events like these endlessly.

I’m not sure if the champ loot is limited to once a day per account or character…but it seems logical that it might be that way.

It’s either that or a bug.

I killed one champ and got nothing but a vicious fang afaik. Then again I wasn’t told there was a chest to go loot until I was on the other side of the pavilion.

Anyone seen rapiers yet?

It seems like more than one per day. I got about 5 or so chests from killing champions, but then I suddenly noticed I stopped getting them.

On ET we farmed the champions (centaurs) inside the pavilion between legendary mobs and we got champion loot for hours. It suddenly stopped dropping. But I had gotten 50+ champion loot bags from them, and now nothing. Sadface.

I bet they changed it to only be able to get it once per day now per champion. Again the people that got to do this right away get massive rewards, while the ones that could not play right away get shafted.

Champion Loot
•All champions now drop containers based on their family. These containers have coin, skill points, crafting materials, weapons and armor, and rare chances at unique weapon skins based on family.
•“Defeat the Claw of Jormag”: The champions in this event no longer drop loot.
•Citadel of Flame—Ferrah: Blaclan Firetooth is now a veteran instead of a champion.

No mention of once per day or character/account bound. Seems like a bug. If not, they should at least inform the community.

Its a hotfix not a nerf lol , it just hasn’t been documented in the notes yet. Patience for pete’s sake!

I knew I should have called in sick today….there goes my chance of getting some gold finally…

Thats the thing that get me about it. The people who could play right away can prosper and get over 100 champ bags but those that could not will get hardly anything. This is a straight up nerf because it never stated that it would be once per day from a champion.

Yes, actually, but I think it should be content appropriate. In this case they’re basically giving a whole chest for each champion which is a bit ridiculous. Under those circumstance I can see why they did it this way, I just think it’s poorly implemented in general.

Loot was very nice during first hours, then it stopped dropping. Checked several overflows, map chat was full with rage.

Hotfix? Nerf.

I’ve gotten reward twice off Troll/Bandit while poking around earlier this afternoon, so it’s not once per day per character.

It probably does enter DR though, so farm responsibly.

This is stupid. Like they couldn’t have forseen this? Wasn’t the point of adding champion rewards to finally make them worth people’s time to fight?

Agree. Their patch notes never stated once per day on champions. But since a few people compained about it, they decided to nerf it. Again, the people that played right away got the massive rewards and those that play later get nothing.

So confusing. Any type of official response would be great.

Are champions supposed to drop the new loot now or what?!

DR maybe? I had that same problem pre-patch, switched to another overflow and got them again.

Actually I had the same issue earlier on just after the actual patch hit, so it might very well be a bug rather than a “stealth-nerf”.

. . . they do? I did a quick run of the Queensdale train to check it out, I got one for every Champion (even the two Living Story event ones).

We where farming for maybe 2h earlier this evening, getting loot from every single champion (the “exotic” bag).

However, around 1.5 hour ago… Nothing. Champions (tamini in particular) do not give chests, they no longer gave any loot whatsoever. Called it a day, pointless to continue.

Either its DR, a fixed limit (like, you’re only allowed 100 champion loots/24h) or they nerfed it to the ground server side (no patch).

It’d be nice to think it’s a bug, but given the history of these kinds of nerfs it seems more likely it’s been stealth nerfed

It has to be a bug, I doubt they would make that once per day per champ, could you imagine that for the WvW only players, all guild lords are champs, you may kill the same 1, 3 times a day, but only get reward once, yet a PvE player can go from zone to zone….. unlikely, but if they did do that, it has not been thought out properly.

Perhaps they added some kind of restriction that applies only to the pavillion events. I have killed the QD troll at least twice and got the lootbag both times.

My friends were noticing this too. I want to say it’s DR. However, it works for the Legendaries, so I just don’t know.

THIS IS DR. CASE CLOSED.

someone who just logged in since patch is getting the same loot.
