What brainiac thought it was a good idea to put the chest on the same floor as the balloon itself, when the trip is one way and both are interacted with using the F key?!

Move the chest one flight or stairs down and there will be no way for people to accidentally travel to DR when their real intent is to open the chest.

In the mean time, I suggest that everyone pays attention to the action prompt. It will say “Open” if you are about to activate the chest and “Travel” if you are about to lose your chest and go to DR.

I changed F to AOE loot when that came out. So I no longer use it for my action button. It actually helps out a lot.

Didn’t even notice the chest the first time I got to the top, it was a fairly large crowd of players.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

If you’re quick enough, you can logout and back in before you start the loading of DR, and you’ll be back at the balloon.

I’ve had so many mistakes with this similar issue in the past that I definitely make sure I am hitting f on the right thing. Whether I have to actually target the npc or stand in a certain place, etc. Its definitely a tedious issue sometimes. lol

The worst is when people throw down banners in the middle of enemie mobs and I end up accidentally picking up those then grabbing loot. >.>

Changing the AOE loot is a good idea. I will have to do that. Thanks for the idea Delvoire!

Likely the best suggestion I’ve seen in quite a while.

No problem. I actually really love having my AOE loot as F. It helps a lot while in large group combat. This way I can dodge, roll, attack, run around all at the same time and then periodically tap F to gather all the loots.

I agree, and for me it reset everything … couldn’t register in achievements that I’d visited the balloon, but wouldn’t trigger a visit if I went back because the chest was open, and obviously I missed the loot. Grr.
