Guild Wars 2

I’m on the Northern Shiverpeaks server, and I lead a nightly zerg through the temples in Orr, and it’s a huge event for our server, but there has been some concern with the new update and the world boss chests.

The primary concern is that the chests are only available every 24 hours, so if we were to do Grenth at 8:30 pm one day, and then the next night we were to finish it at 8:25 pm, would people who got the chest the day before not get that one, or do the chests reset with the daily reset? This is kind of a pressing issue since I don’t want to tell people to come to do the temples if there is a risk of them not getting the chests from completing the events faster than the night before.

The other question that some people have is, are the chests accessible once per day, per character, or is it once per day, per account?

It is per character per day, and resets with the daily. Tested this with my alt.

Please check this thread I made a while back asking for more clarification on it.

per day per character, but there have been some bugs.

I did, and I didn’t see an answer that clarifies whether it’s 24 hours or resets with the daily

While no official word has been revealed, a think a few noted it was character based, not account based. As well as the reset being on the “dailies” timer.

Chests are linked directly to daily reset, the reset same time as daily achivement etc.

This one chest per boss per day has pretty much killed PvE for me. The Maw event in Wayfarer’s was about the only thing I’ve been doing outside of WvW because I could make a couple of gold in a couple of hours of chilling out and playing the game the way I wanted to play.

I would sit in a safe spot at the Kevach lodge and do the wurm events as those came up, then run for the Maw event when that came up. I could play casual and not bother anyone. I didn’t drag any dungeon team down when I would go eat dinner or do dishes. It didn’t matter if I missed one of these events. I could always just pick up again on the next one.

The point is, I could play the game the way I want to play, and make a bit of gold when WvW was a little slow. Isn’t that what we were told this game was going to be? Why do these kittenheads have to nerf every single way that we players can get a bit of gold when WvW is such a gold sink?

Expand a little. The maw still gives an almost guaranteeing rare once per day and it’s about 5 events so you’re still getting a bit of silver and karma from that. Go to other places! Metrica province has a neat fire elemental boss to fight and is full of events itself. The mega destroyer event series is epic. It’s the only one I didn’t get a rare from (I heard it was bugged but IMO insufficient evidence thus far) but the actually having more than 3 players to do it with for once made it exciting and I got about 50 claws from the mini destroyers that was worth quite a bit by itself!

Anet didn’t kill PVE for you by getting rid of 3-5 blue rarity items every 30 minutes. You can still participate do the same things you did before and your gold/hr probably won’t change much. Even with 1 rare per day that is about 30 silver. It would take about 6 maw chests pre-patch to make that much so unless you farm the maw for at least 3 hours each day (which sounds boring but you can do it if you like) then you will actually see an increase in gold.

Nope, not going to do that. But don’t let that stop you from having a nice day.

This. Just adding my voice.

It’s a daily reset, not a 24 hour timer.
