Guild Wars 2

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had this, but its been a recurring and annoying issue and has caused some notable frustrations trying to get something I earned and not being able to retrieve it. I’ll try and do a video on it if its really required though. The most common places for the issues in this regard are Fractals (for relics) and WvW (for badges).

Upon completing an event or path, everyone is presented with the big golden chest for them to loot in game like the dragon chests for world bosses. As per normal, you are rewarded with your random loot and gear as well as Relics/WvW badges in the respective areas.
However, when I hit F (Use) again, everything BUT the currency adds to my character. It will be the only thing remaining in the list to loot. Despite frantically hitting F again and walking around the chest like a wandering loon, the chest usually does not yield the token/currency. Which gets quite frustrating when it adds up to how many tokens I COULD have had over the past few months. Dismissing it hoping for it to be fixed next patch or such.
Even clicking on the currency doesn’t help me. When I click it instead of pressing F, it simply disappears from the list (although it will still show a blank list) but not add to my wallet. If I close the loot window and interact with the chest again, it will show up again as if it was never looted.
I even tried using the AOE loot function to no avail.

I run the game at a great framerate and never had any technical, graphical or other issues besides this. It’s quite bothersome as my recent experience that caused me to FINALLY write this was doing the new EotM map, taking out a lord and gettign the chest, being presented with 14 BoH (which is quite a fair bit to drop at once for me) and do the whole ring around the rosey thing like an idiot as I fail to collect it.

I’m not sure what else to try at this point. Even repairing the game doesn’t fix it.

Same problem in here.

Exactly as you described, after i press F, everything is looted APART FROM badges. If i walk away from the chest, and then try to press F on it again to loot, nothing changes (the loot window pops up, and the badges are still there, unlootable).

That’s quire frustrating considering so far i left behind something like 200-250badges because of this bug.

After the last patches some friends of mine can finally loot badges.
But well, me, like many other players still can’t.

Yeah, AoE loot won’t help because it generally doesn’t take anything from chests, probably to prevent weird cases where people loot JPs through a wall. Instead, you want to enable the autoloot feature. It takes all items from a chest in one key press, has been around for much longer, and has worked whenever I have had problems getting fractal tokens or badges. The bug still needs to be fixed, but it is a good way to avoid losing hundreds of badges in the meantime.

Idk, I never had this problem. My key biddings are:
Z – AOE Loot
X – Interact

Also Autoloot is turned on.
Whenever I see a chest, I’m pressing both Z and X and it never left anything inside the chest. Some guildies had this problem and they were annoyed a bit. Maybe it has to do something with the key biddings? Basically there’s very few things that I haven’t changed.

Autoloot so far seems to have been a temporary band-aid. Haven’t encountered any problems, but it is rather annoying that I have to pick up everything including the trash now. =/

I’m not clicking on anything, as I said: autoloot = ON, so I just press Z, X and everything is in my bag.
