Guild Wars 2

say for example if i completed a zone, got a chest for it popping up above my map ui, how long could i leave it there for? is there anything stopping me from leaving it until the xpac launch?

from my experience theres a numerical limit to the number of chest you can have queued.

If for example you had 10 completed chests queued to open, the moment you switch maps a certain number of them opens until its down to like 3 chests remaining.

Its been awhile but the numbers are more less accurate

oh ok new plan then i will almost complete a bunch of zones and then do it 3 at a time….. bwahahaha

thanks

What’s the issue on opening them when you get them? Never understood why people let chests pile up.

Well, I’m saving my map completions (leaving just a PoI) for the XP to count towards the new Core/Tyria Mastery lines.

Actually, I’m not doing much map completion, for that reason, save for Hero Challenges.

That might be the reason some do so (recently). /shrug

I lost a bunch of chests when I was in the Silverwastes and zoned into a story instance, that was painful.

my plan is to use them to try and get a leg up on my mastery leveling, didnt even cross my mind until i saw a post that people are doing the city map completions and using that in the beta.

by that same token i am also wondering if crafting xp will work as well although i cant think of any crafting stations ive seen so even if it does it might only be useful for pact tyria masteries

I don’t understand why people open them right away. I like waiting to deal with inventory; other people prefer to get stuff now. It’s nice we have an option.

For the OP: you cannot lose any of the stuff inside the chests: if too many pile up, they just auto-open into your inventory. As long as it doesn’t happen an instant before you swap characters or change zones, even if your inventory is full, you get a chance to make room.

Same reason people don’t read the OP just run in and comment. Impatience…

OP was referring to the chests that pop up and shake until you click them to get the loot, not the chests from loot that stack in your inventory. They do not disappear…

I just completed Celedon yesterday on a character and when I zoned to Lion’s Arch the map completion chest auto-opened.

Now I DID have like 15 hearts waiting to be collected as well and all but 2 were I guess auto-collected when I zoned. So maybe the game just chose the map completion chest randomly to open along with those hearts.

So was IWN….

Perhaps, you are unaware of the mechanics of saving ‘jiggly chests and other bottom-right’ rewards?

Good luck.

Yes, that is to what I am referring: the bouncy chests and they do disappear if you collect enough of them or sometimes if you change characters.

You realise that threads like this, just bring attention to the fact that bouncy chests from core, can be used to exploit the mastery system. I’d be surprised if this still works at launch.
