Guild Wars 2

As the title says. Post-reset, and yes I am 200% absolutely positive I did not already do them as it was literally their first spawns AFTER RESET. I just ran the World Boss Circuit and got Gold Participation Credit for every single one of them, and yet for some reason despite this, three of them did not give me any reward at all. I got Gold Credit, and no bonus chest, no loot chest, nothing at all from: Jormag, Shadow Behemoth, and The Shatterer. But I did get full rewards from every other World Boss.

And yes, again, before the questioning begins— I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THIS WAS ALL AFTER RESET. So my big question here is— ARE these infact Reset-Based or do you literally have to wait an actual 24 hour period from your last kill because that is a bit hard to keep track of?? Usually I run them all together but sometimes I will miss one or two and go back later, and it has definitely been over 24 hours since I last killed Shatterer, besides.

So what’s up with this?

Participation is not the only determining factor for loot/chests. You may not have met the requisite in those World Events.

I haven’t heard anyone else saying they were missing chests. AFAIK, they all remain 1x/day/account bonuses and 1x/day/character for the ground chests (if any). These limits reset at midnight server time.

A few events, such as Rhendak, can be affected by diminishing returns, but only if you park the same toon next to his spawn location.

There are a few situations in which you have to wait for some time to elapse (not just reset), but none of them are world bosses. The ones I know about are all nodes of some type: rich plat, JP chests, etc.

tl;dr something else is going on with your account, FireCrescent. Perhaps you missed one of the other requirements (as Inculpatus cedo suggested) or you haven’t waited through a reset as you thought or something more complicated.

I think you have two choices:

• Wait 24 hours from reading this to try any world boss at all (stick to dungeons or something). And then return to your usual rotation, keeping track of the time you participate for 2-3 of them just in case.
• Contact support and provide them with the same info as above (plus some specific times, if you can manage).

(You could also do both.)

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

What else would possibly be a requirement, in that case? We play together, and it just happened again— Both went to Shatterer at the same time, fought next to one another, got participation credit. I got loot, he did not.

I’m not sure of the exact timing since our last run, but it’s at least been nearly a full day since, and without question after the last reset.

I know he’s filed bug reports, but I suppose at this point contacting support directly would be worth trying.
