Guild Wars 2

Hi since the last patch Tequatl and to a lesser extent claw of Jormag sometimes do not leave a chest. This has happened to me and several have said the same thing in chat. This started with the last update in January and I have sent in bug reports each time. I have never gotten an answer so I am curious if this is a concern to the company.
Anyone else running into this?

i haven’t bothered doing dragons in months since the loot is worthless. if the dragon chests were on the same loot table as the jade maw chest, i’d do them again.

In order to be eligible for a chest – you’ve got to tag the dragon by dealing significant amount of damage.
Are you by any chance using the toughness/vitality/magic find armor ? "Wayfarer"’s the prefix.

Thanks for the info, I get gold participation and am quite able to tag the dragons.

It sounds like the DR system they have in place. You can’t finish more than 2 of the same big events (like the Dragons) in a row. On the 3rd try you get no chest.

ie if you run “The Shatterer” 2 times you have to take that character to another event like Jormag for example. After completing the Jormag fight (up t 2 times) you then can go back and run “The Shatterer” up to 2 times before needing to rest the DR system.

Anyhow, that is how it seems to work, since I’ve been doing this I haven’t missed a single chest in the last week.

it happened to me once. but maybe i missed the fight or hitting the dragon, dunno fell asleep during the fight with my finger on 1.

Yep, it happened to me today with Jormag but I’ve had it happen a few times even b4 the patch with Jormag and Shatterer. It’s extremely annoying when you’re trying to complete daily, coz not only do i not get the chest but no credit for the event either.

P.S. I don’t run dragon events, I do my dailies in Frostgorge Sound generally and if the dragon happens while I’m there I’ll join in if not, I don’t hang around for it or follow the timers et. So really I don’t see why I should be affected by any DR (as Smoeki seems to imply) since I don’t do it regularly.

I don’t even bother with them anymore since the drops are so terrible. It’s not worth the silver to port there nor the incredible latency I experience with so many players in one area.

themepark games “need” instancing at endgame.

(endgame being “where the loot shine the most”, best definition of endgame ever…)

Just found this gem from Robert Hrouda in a DR post.

When ya’ll did this “tweaking” ya’ll broke dragon DR.

The issue with the dragon chests should only effect people who park characters at dragons and don’t play them anywhere else. Is this what you are doing?

so with 4 lvl 80s I am supposed to move them around zone to zone instead of just parking them. Could as with many things have been mentioned somewhere by ANET.
