So I opened a WHOLE track of chests… Guess what I got???
LEVEL 14 gear.
I’m royally upset I opened a complete track of chests on my level 5 toon (Havent played since September 2013, doesnt show his level in PvP, totally forgot chests give you items based on your level and that he wasnt level 80.. Top it off, that toon went through an entire reward track and a half of another one and only leveled up THREE levels) and got level 14 gear instead of the level 80 gear that I should’ve gotten. Those chests should be level 80 stuff as long as you have a level 80 toon/main, regardless of if your pvp toon is level 5. All that kittening rewards I could’ve gotten all down the drain. I’m so angry and kittened off. I’m not even sure when these tracks reset if they do.
That or we kittening level up at the right speeds so time I complete a reward track I’m level 80 and get the level 80 items. I’m already level 80 on other toons but not on this guy and receiving level 14 gear is an insult to this so call “rewards track”…
You should have a notification button saying “If you open this chest on this toon, you will get such and such level items” NOTIFYING TO ME that what I’m doing is a mistake and I should bank it and open it on my level 80 toon…. Which in all honesty is just tideous work, you make life easy for PvE’er, make life easy for PvP’er and give us those rewards based on not the toon opening it, but the highest level toon we have on our account.
First of all, loot from champion bags have always been scaled to the level of the character that opens them both in PvE AND PvP. Although I do agree that Anet has shown bias towards the PvE aspect of the game (as they probably should since more than a majority of the players don’t even touch PvP), in this case, Anet has done absolutely nothing wrong. I find it extremely odd that you weren’t checking the loot you were receiving right after opening the box. You would think that SOMEWHERE in the 1.5 tracks worth of boxes you opened, you would have realized you were getting level 14 loot and paused to wonder why exactly this was happening.
So you got stuck with a bunch of level 14 greens instead a bunch of level 80 greens. Just suck it up and move on. If you’re PvPing for loot, you’re doing it wrong anyway. Go Boss Blitz or something. xD
it does suck, and its the main reason people want something to be done,
and Anet could do something if they wanted to.
1. they could add a bank to the mists, but as people have said, this would make visits to the main cities fairly redundant, also there are far too many different chests to fit in a moderately full bank.
2. they could make the reward chest icon that appears at the end of the game less distracting, so you can simply ignore it until you log on an 80.
currently it keeps flashing and wobbling around like it has OCD.
3. they could scale the pvp reward chests to the highest character on your account.
so if your highest char is 60, you’ll get 60 loot.
it is a real drag having to log between 8 characters and port them all multiple times to and from the main city. (with ridiculously long loading screens despite having a powerful comp) all just to get a bunch of useless greens, sort it out Anet.
An account bag would be awesome to solve this problem and very usefull for pve and www too.
that’d be a great idea,
especially with all of the infinite use harvest tools and salvage kit,
it’d need to be pretty big though to fit all of the chest spam inside
Actually i think those are more worth than lvl 80 ones ;P
Colin Johanson: “Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the
best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on an equal power base.”
