Guild Wars 2

If you have X number of bouncy chests (ones shown in the lower right corner) awaiting opening upon teleporting—might also happen when loading in after logging out from there but I don’t recall offhand—one or more of your pending chests will auto-open and the contents will be dumped into your inventory if you have sufficient space. If not, you will get the “You are Encumbered” popup and a full inventory if it wasn’t already full.

Looks to me all pending chests beyond a certain fixed number (I’m guessing 5 from observation, but since only 3 are shown at a time it’s hard to tell without proper testing) will be opened as I’ve had multiple chests opened and their contents dumped into inventory as evidenced by the chat log.

I haven’t noticed this behavior upon TP’ing or loading into any other place. It is predictable, and consistent with HotM—it will happen every single time if you have enough pending chests.

From the Wiki:

The UI will display up to three unclaimed chests, including the ones from map completion, the daily, or the monthly. If a fourth bonus chest is earned while the first three float in the UI, it will appear after you claim the items from any of the first three. Any additional bonus chests beyond the fourth one will be automatically accepted into your inventory when you exit the game or enter World vs World.

Thanks for the reference.

I find it absolutely amazing that for a couple years plus I’ve never seen this behavior in action until recently, yet I nearly always use HotM to get to LA, frequently have full inventories when heading there, and routinely let my bouncy chests build up until I’m right and ready to pop them.

I also let my bouncies keep bouncing until I want more stuff in my inventory. It doesn’t happen all the time. It seems to be more frequent when I have a lot of event ‘medals’ that I haven’t clicked through, but it’s obviously hard to test.
