Frostgorge Champ Trio bonus chest bug
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of this ‘Defeat all 3 within a time limit’ event in Frostgorge Sound. Nothing in the wiki about it.
Edit: Found it in the wiki, but nothing about a time limit or bonus chest. Just that the event was added with the April 15th patch.

Inculpatus: It was added/changed with the April 15th patch. It used to just be three different champs with no event tied to them. Now, however, they’re three champs tied together by a timer, and if you kill them all before the timer is up, you’re supposed to get a bonus chest.
I’ve done the event a few times since the change, and I’ve only ever received the bonus chest one time (which was actually yesterday). Every other time I just got the normal champ loot.
Then, I suppose someone needs to update the wiki. I could find nothing in the patch notes about a bonus chest or timer. Is it on the HUD?
During the event the event info on the UI says “Bonus: Defeat the champions within the time limit”. It doesn’t say you get a chest, but you apparently are supposed to get one, in the form of a Daily chest (like what you get from world bosses, only it’s a splendid chest instead of a rare).
Ok, cool. It shows up on the UI as an event. I’m just wondering about the ‘apparently’ part. If there is nothing in the patch notes, nothing in the wiki, no Dev posts (that, at least, I have seen), where does the bonus chest information come from?
I suppose, if some are getting a bonus chest that they affiliate with the event, either getting a chest is a bug, or not getting a chest is a bug.
Maybe, if we are most fortunate, a Dev will give a head’s up on the issue. =)
I’ve been trying to find where I originally read about the bonus chest, but my old brain just can’t recall that information. Inculpatus, I also checked the wiki, but since it’s player updated I didn’t expect to find any info there, either.
You’ll also have people commenting in map chat if you go there and do the event. Sometimes no one talks at all, other times its a chatty zerg. But mention that bonus chest, and you get a myriad of responses like I mentioned above.
Nice to know (or sad to know) that I’m not the only one this happens to. I hope they get busy and fix all these bugs in the next update.
There is an event named “Drakkar Champion Bonus” in the API since April 15. There would’ve been a mention on the GW2 Wiki about it, but as many has mentioned there is probably a bug involving the bonus chest reward.
It’s almost impossible to test the validity of getting the bonus chest from the trip Drakkar champions.
After running this event off and on probably 30 times since release and completing within the time allotted all but maybe twice, I have gotten a grand total of 1 bonus chest. Definitely a bug.
I do this event once or twice a day. I’ve only gotten the splendid chest once. (It’s a small chest that spawns at the site of the last champ if it’s killed within the set time period). Others aren’t getting it either. There will be comments like, “no chest?” and others will say “I got it” or “I didn’t get it either.”
Any word from Anet? This is still happening – some folks are getting the chest, others aren’t, no obvious cause for variance.
This is still an issue. I got that chest maybe once or twice. I’ve completed the event numerous times, and realize the bonus chest is likely only available once a day, but other than the one or two times I got it, it largely fails to reward the chest when completing the event successfully even once during a given day.
Did the event 3 times and got the chest 2 time when i just killed 2 bosses, last time 2 days ago when i was just there to farm Orichalcum
However in the end there was 1 small karma bottle in it and 3-4 silver .. so nothing really exiting you miss.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

I got the bonus chest twice in a row in 1 hour once. So it surely isn’t once per day. But yeh, the event is def bugged, i probably get the chest once per 80 drakkar champs kills. Dont expect it to get fixed anytime soon though.

They need an “I agree, but unhappy face” thumbs up button.
I’ve never gotten the bonus chest for this event when I’ve done it. Despite getting the loot from all three champs. But I don’t run that champ train/event cycle much anymore. Still never once have I gotten the bonus chest for that event while it seems everyone else did.
