Just killed chat. No chest
Is it the first time you’ve killed it on that character today?

There are 3 main reasons someone doesn’t get the chest after killing a boss. One is you killed that boss within the period from reset to reset on the same character. You have to kill him on a different character to get the chest. The other is, you have a character that you left at that place that you use to kill him every day. Diminishing Returns (DR) will kick in after a few days. To get rid of DR you need to take that character to another map and play there for a while. The third reason is of course a bug.
The DR is really annoying. Even if I logout all my character on another map, I still get DR on karka queen very often.
I never get a reward for killing chat. Killing chat is a reward in and of itself, though.

I love chat, especially boss train chat. Would never want to kill it.

Actually I hate to tell the folks who keep saying the OP did it multiple times within the same amount of time, because I have a long memory. The last time this happened it was directly due to a bug in DR where the restrictions built up so much that even the chests in dungeons were disappearing before they fixed it. For quite a few weeks now we keep seeing threads about greys and about missing items.
In fact as I recall people started having weird things happen like a bigger drop chance for greys. The reason I stopped playing recently are two fold, 1: real life concerns and 2: because I kept getting Unidentifiable Objects from boss chests. It’s very bad for business when you can’t even get a system that’s known for destroying whole economies and game companies who implemented the same restrictions from behaving properly. This is the third time now that there’s been a report of loot issues (and it hasn’t been restricted to this thread).
Since we’re still seeing those nasty things we can’t mention without being flagged in the forums and DR has done nothing to remove them I vote they remove DR entirely once and for all since it keeps creeping up like this causing this same pattern.

All that now depends are quite what Astral Projections said, and that BandAid needs to respond so we know more.
DR works by accruing points.
Propably map based, since I have no problem with it, even if I repeat the world boss chain again tomorrow, as I don’t stick to same place for long time nor have I killed same world bosses twice in single day.

I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

I can honestly say in the two years I’ve played I’ve never hit DR, that I’ve noticed. And I play daily. Guess I’m no farmer.
I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

What about insufficient damage to trigger as being part of the kill (or do you just have to be nearby for Shatterer)? Could being speced for Condition Damage with a large number of like speced players cause this?
