Guild Wars 2

My family and I have been searching areas and opening the Mysterious presents that appear on the map. We decided to move away from Queensdale and discovered that in many areas we pop the presents and no lootable objects appear on the ground. Mobs will spawn, most of the time, but no gifts. It seems about 8/10 boxes (outside of Queensdale) do not spawn lootable gifts.

I know it’s not the issue where if presents spawn on a slope, the ground gift will spawn under the terrain. This one is a separate issue.

Advise to go higher lvl area. Queensdale gift are either small or non. Go to area lvl 20-30 you can get a varity of medium to giant.
Sometimes the gift is not a box but a small bag on the floor it can easily be missed.

I know. My issue is that we tried all of the zones between 15 and 35. Most of the time there was no present or small bag on the ground after someone unwraps the gift.

Same on mount Maelstrom and Fireheart Rise. Just sayin’. The level doesn’t count.
Opened 10-15 presents, got a reward on like 5 of them. I guess it’s just like that, bad luck.

I may be wrong, but I think the gifts disappear after a certain amount of time. The first one I opened, I could’ve sworn I saw a present waiting before the skritt attacked; by the time I’d FINALLY killed them all, it was gone. (I’ve basically started going for the present right away, just in case.)

If you open the Mystery Present, you get a gift in your inventory.
If someone else opens it, you see the gifts/bags on the ground.

They last a decent amount of time. Enough for me to travel (10-15 seconds) to the location after it has been unwrapped by someone else.

I’m just irritated that the boxes themselves have so many bugs. Terrain glitches (if you can jump on to the box, most likely the gifts are under the terrain), empty boxes (it doesn’t spawn anything for anyone who did not open it), wrong mob levels, etc.

:(

i think i read somewhere on here that some gifts don’t spawn any loot / gifts.
