Guild Wars 2

Used to be, the separate chest with the rare you get for a boss mob per account per day reset at the same time the dailies reset.

So after yesterday’s daily reset, I did SB…no yellow chest but reg chest. Just a few minutes ago, I did it with a different toon than i did yesterday and got the chest with the rare as well as the normal chest. What should have happened is, my first SB try after daily reset should have spawned the rare chest, and today’s try no rare chest but just the normal chest.

imo they should remove it and let rares be rare again.

Anyone know why this happening? Anyone else noticing this issue? If the reset time for event mobs and rare chests has been changed, fine, I’d just like to know what that time is

What time zone/area do you live in? What time does the server normally reset for you, and what time did you kill SB on those two instances?

If you live in an area with some form of Daylight Saving Time, make sure you account for that when considering the server reset. The servers reset based off of UTC, which has no DST to account for.

Of the times I have done Shadow Behemoth after the change, I haven’t gotten any special chest, like I do from Maw or Fire Elemental. I just figured it was excepted from that rule somehow.

Yeah, since daylight savings the daily reset changed where I am from 4 to 5 PM, so that was definitely taken into account.

I have gotten the rare chest from SB, but not after the daily reset…usually later that night or the next morning.

Maybe they changed it to an actual 24 hr counter to keep people from getting the chest an hour before reset and going afk until the event happens again after reset…

the daily reset does not take into account daylight savings. This could be why you are confused.

Nope. Their timer did not take daylight savings into account, since not everyone observes it. But in my time zone, the daily reset changed from 4 to 5 pm…because my time zone jumped an hour ahead. What tolunart says may have something to it
