Guild Wars 2

I feel like this bug might be related to the complaints of the scarcity of chak egg items in particular, but this is only a hunch. I’ve been watching this for awhile now and have seen all kinds of strange behaviour, including the following:

A. Crystallized supply caches reorganize and refresh themselves at the completion of certain milestones in their region’s event chain. For example, the SCAR lane in Tangled Depths has 3 stages: nascent/inactive, another stage halfway through that unlocks SCAR rifles in the lane itself, and a final stage that unlocks mortars in the lane. At the transition between each of these stages, the caches from the old ‘state’ vanish and new ones spawn in, refreshed and available for opening no matter how recently you might’ve looted that specific cache.

B. This behaviour applies to everywhere that contains caches in Tangled Depths, except for Nuhoch caches. These caches seem to respawn on a 24-hour timer. While the layout of the caches changes with the local meta event, they will spawn already opened if you’ve interacted with them in the past day or so.

C. These Nuhoch caches are the only ones that count towards the Crystallized Cache Seeker achievement. Self explanatory.

I’ve been on the hunt for chak eggs in the past few days, having spent thousands of leyline crystals in exchange for cache keys. I’ve lucked out and found three, but I didn’t mark down where they were found. My egg supply vanished abruptly around the time I’d completely scoured the Nuhoch region for caches – making me question if, maybe, chak eggs are only spawning from these caches?

I can easily be wrong about that – and more data is welcome – but the Nuhoch caches are certainly the odd ones out and it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the case.

What is the difference between Crystallized caches and Nuhoch caches? apparently I’ve opened 25 Nuhloch without noticing, I thought I had only been opening Crystalized, is there some visual difference? and where are the Nuloch ones usually found? (inb4 you say Nuloch lane :P)

I have opened well over 100 of these Caches and my achievement is at 39.

Edit: Discovered that caches is Nuhoch Lane will count for this achievement.

I feel like the caches in the nuhoch area aren’t even on a 24 hour timer, its been a couple days now and I have noticed they are all opened still in that area, I went and opened some in another area in case there was a mechanic where only a certain amount are not opened in the zone at a time, but I went back and they are still opened. I was thinking the same thing as someone else, you need an item from them for an achievement (which is really nasty to get, all the chak weapons) so I figured I would just opened caches there instead of other ones since it was the only 1 of the 4 i still needed.

^ I agree. It’s definitely been more than 24 hours for me.

The worst thing about the Nuhoch ones is that they seem to affect all your characters. I’ve had a character that had never been to Tangled Depths and had just brought him there awhile ago. Nada. All the Nuhoch caches are STILL opened.

I really hope they fix this soon cause I really do want that Collection Achievement.
