After doing the events for the Hot air ballon there is a chest at the top. Not one time have I ever gotten a darn thing from either of those chest.. Once a player opens it, it then become unlootable for everyone else.. What happened to the concept that everyone gets their own loot or reward?

This happened to me a few times while trying to complete it, indeed it was frustrating/upsetting.

If you can’t look the chest because of another player then it’s not working as intended. We’ll look into it.

Other reasons include: you already looted that one or you’ve finished the balloon tourist achievement. The chests are not daily.

There’s also a decieving issue going on here. You may be able to see the chest from outside the tower and then when you get to the top it has opened. That’s because the chest doesn’t detect if you’re ineligible until you get to about the second floor. If there’s another player up there, it may appear they’re stealing it. I apologize for the confusion. I’ll see if we can fix it.

yea, iirc, i have done about 12 balloon towers now, and almost every single time, there’s someone ahead of me and i’ve never gotten any loot from a single chest. Search “F” prompt shows up, but nothing happens.

Hey while you’re at it, can you look into the flash of blinding light during the last gauntlet fight? Much appreciated.

Apparently the screen goes dark and you can’t see anything. This is easily remedied if you turn your settings on best performance.

Silence will fall when the question is asked.

Anyway, the flash of orange light disrupts my 4-second count of the circles. It’s quite unfair really, they have one shots and a blind that actually hurts your eyes isn’t fair one bit. Not sure if it’s intended or not.

I can’t say the exact reason, but many in my guild have noted the eastern balloon in Queensdale has a chest that is already open when you get to it. It was only the 4th tower I’d visited, so I know I had not been there before and had not finished the achievement.

I am hoping there are enough non-bugged chests to complete the achievement, but I know for that one in Queensdale at least, something is wrong.

You can turn off post-processing to deal with the flash.

AFAIK, the tower chests are meant to be personally opened by each player only once and they appear closed until you open it, even if someone else already has.

I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I was “booted” out of a tower (in Queensdale) once when an event started. I can’t remember if I had looted this tower or not, but I only had an achievement for the one tower when both acted like I had opened them.

I wonder if this could have something to do with the tower issue. At any rate, I too hope there will be enough properly working towers for the achievement.

Similar thing happened. I got to the chest in the tower in Queensdale near the Queen’s Forrest. The chest was already open, and I didn’t get anything from it. It was my 6th Balloon tower, but I only had 5 in my achievement tracker. I went back to the other 5 to see if I missed one. They were all showing as having been opened by me already. I sent an in-game bug report. As we only need 30 out of 44 for the achievement, I’m not too worried, just mildly annoyed.

For me it was the western balloon tower, I got to the top and it had already been opened. I’ve done 18 or 19 so far and it has been the only one that was already opened for me. So far. It was the second balloon I tried. Kaineng server, yesterday or late the night before. Right after the Escort Dignitary mission. The centaurs were attacking the near by outpost at the time. I think I was the first one up the tower at the time.

The towers in Queensdale are bugged. The one nearest the outpost is bugged for me. I never opened this chest. It was open when I reached the tower. I have even gone up and used the balloon on purpose and come back just to be sure.

Queensdale Balloon towers ARE bugged.

The only bugged tower I encountered was the eastern Queensdale tower which coincidentally was also opened during the livestream. I’d find it hilarious if that is what bugged it out. Basically the chest is opened even if you have 0/30, in my case I came to Queensdale for the first time at 9/30 and it was opened before I even got to the top, ever.

There are quite a few bugged ones but still plenty for the achieve. I worked my way east through the Ascalon areas to finish out my 30 yesterday.

I never did get the chest by the Queensdale outpost, ah well. I don’t really need a few silver worth of greens. If there were an achieve for 100%ing the towers I’d be much more miffed.

I’ve had to SEARCH all of them after OPENING them to get the loot.

I just finished my 30 Tower achievement, and received loot from every chest, including chests that had been opened by players ahead of me. Certain tower chests may be bugged, but once the gate is open any player can run to the top and open the chest until the tower closes again and a new event is required to re-open it.

This is definitely a bug, and I have to say it’s getting annoying. I can confirm that everytime there is another player opening the chest near you as you climb up the stairs to the baloon or someone else opens it right in front of you, you cannot loot the chest anymore, at all. Chest remains open, even though it wasn’t your character who opened it, and unlootable

Please fix this.

Possible workaround for players who find this as annoying as I do for trying to get the achivement: wait under the stairs while you see other players are opening the chest, once you’re sure they are done, climb up and the chest should still be closed and you’ll be able to loot it (this worked for me, but it’s hard to time with so many players running up to the baloons all the time).
