Guild Wars 2

Did the rules for whether a dragon chest spawns or not change very recently?

I did Shatterer on my Rangeer yesterday, before the daily reset. I slept, went to work, came back, (so about 20 hours later, and after the reset) I tried doing it again. The chest did not spawn. Two people in mapchat said you now have to exit and zone and return to ge tthe chest to spawn. I haven’t seen anything like this in the patchnotes so I was trying to get it confirmed or denied.

You can only get one chest per world boss per character a day now.
But the loot is much better.

Yeah I know that, that’s why I wrote that the last time I had done it was a day before, before the daily reset happened. Thanks though : )

It was in the patch notes, btw – under Reward Updates.

Haven’t ever had a problem getting chests, though I can’t say I’ve never left the zone in between. What that anonymous person said may very well be true, though it’s possible some other bug reared its head.

There is DR on the chests that’s supposed to prevent you from camping them, but I wouldn’t expect it to come into effect on the 2nd attempt.

Other reasons include not qualifying for participation and the daily reset (12:00 GMT).
