Guild Wars 2

Tonight I participated in the Tarir event and our map failed to succeed. Without entering the chest rooms on the failed map, I went to lfg to find a successful map. But when I entered the chest room, the great and grand chests were already opened.

Is this intended behavior because my original map failed or is it a bug? Until now I’ve been able to loot multiple times a day on successful maps…

It sounds like it is part of the intended behaviour from the recent fix to multi mapping

- Players can no longer open more Great Exalted Chests and Grand Exalted Chests by changing map instances after completing the meta-event in Auric Basin.

tldr: if you are going to change map, do it before the event finishes.

That’s a shame, I expected I could open each chest once per event.

That change is for attempting to loot the grand and great chest multiple times in a cycle. I swapped from a failed to a successful one and still managed to get the daily bag plus one or two grand and great chests. The only reason I was limited to one or two was because there was only around 1:30 left before I swapped.

If you succeed in the meta, you can open each chest once per event. If you don’t, you can open the consolation chests once per event. I’d assume that the “open” chests were the implementation of that when you jump to a successful map from a failed one…
