Guild Wars 2

Hello thanks for stopping in! =)

Recently I got my 16th level 80 character, and began making a new round of 8 characters to begin leveling. This took a bit of trial and error, and I would delete and remake them if I decided I was unhappy with their name, appearance or so on.

During the night of January 13th, I’d logged in to the game to continue making a new character or two. Upon making mty first of the evening, Rafa Skyseer, I noticed I had been greeted in-game with the Daily Reward in the lower right of the UI. I’d decided I wasn’t entirely happy with the name, decided I wouldn’t keep the character, and decided to not touch the chest at all so I could swap characters and claim it on one of my 80s. I logged out of the new character, deleted it, and changed to one of my 80s to discover the Daily Chest was no longer being offered. It was gone, and I had absolutely no means now of claiming it.

The following day, to my dismay, I discovered via the Daily Reward Calender that the game had skipped that day I’d missed my reward. The final reward of the first week, Bag of Laurels (10 count) had been skipped without me ever being able to claim them.

I’ve contacted support about this matter ( Ticket 1133443 ); while the folks I’ve been in communication with seem to be unable to help me, their last communication on the ticket asked me to create a post on the bug report thread. So here it is!

Reproduction steps:

Step 1: Log into a Character A at the start of a new day.
Step 2: Log back out of Character A without touching the Daily Login reward prompt.
Step 3: Delete Character A.
Step 4: Log into Character B. The Daily Reward offer will be gone.
Step 5: Wait a day, check the “calender” the next time you redeem a daily reward. You’ll see the reward that was supposed to be granted previous day has been skipped.

Daily Log-In Chest rewards are soul-bound to whatever character logs in first. If you deleted the character without claiming the reward, you lost the ability to receive the reward.

Sorry for your loss.

Aye, I figured out it may be something like that after the fact, but hindsight’s always 20/20. Beforehand, I had figured Login Rewards were account-based rewards and thought little more beyond that. :c

I don’t care how old this thread is, a hard to find thread on a forum is no excuse for there being NO WARNING about this happening.

I just waved good-bye to 6 Mystic Coins because I made a new character first thing of the day, then deleted it to re-make it without touching the flashing chest icon.

Want to bind the daily to the first thing of the day that sees light? Okay, but for KITTENS sake, throw in a godkitten warning!
