Guild Wars 2

I’ve asked some folks about this and I’ve gotten mixed answers. In the end I am submitting a bug report for some more insight into the issue. I noticed a problem a few days ago when I was doing the Silverwastes event chain. I escorted dolyaks and defended keeps throughout the entire event and beat the boss and completed the event successfully. At the end of the whole thing, I went to open my bonus chests, yet I could only open 4 of them, and neither of them was the end one where you get the key of greater nightmares.

The next time I noticed it was leveling a character in EoTM. I gained a good 10 – 12 ranks during my time in there. I didn’t open them right away, instead I waited until I was level 80 and open them. Same thing, I was able to only open 4 chests, one was the daily chest from the previous day.

So you guys tell me, is there a time limit to opening these chests? or am I due some chests that I never got?

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.

Make sure to check your inventory for rewards you feel you may be due.

Good luck.
