Guild Wars 2

This is the fourth time this has happened to me in the last week. After the Shadow Behemoth and the Wurm, there is no chest. I’ve checked to make sure i’ve hit them and I have. I even get a gold for the event. I just attempted the Maw and still, no chest. Please, help!

Boss chest or the bonus chest? Or both?

Are you camping the events on alts? If you are, you need the alts to move around and do something else in between the boss events (or do 2+ boss events on the same alt) or DR will prevent you from getting the chest.

Also note that if it’s the second (or more) time you killed the boss since server reset – same time as Daily Achievement reset – you won’t get the bonus chest.

It would be both chests. No, i’m not camping. And i’ll see about the rest if that’s the issue. Thank you.

Bonus chest is account bound and once per day. Regular chest is character bound and once per day.

Same thing is happening to me, it started a few days ago on Tequatl event, I died right before the dragon and didn’t get chest, I tried later but again, no chest. I tried a few days later, same result. Today I was playing on that toon, and Claw of Jormag started, I went there but I didn’t get the chest either. Of course, I am talking about the first time I do the event after reset (on any character), so that’s not the problem, the problem is with the character, because when I do the events with other characters, everything is fine.

Have you done anything similar like described there?

Thanks for your answer, that character is level 80, and I was doing map exploration (at that moment, an event and a heart task) when people on map chat announced the Claw event, so I ported, did the full event (but no pre), but still got no credit. I will try and be there in time for the next Claw (I’ll try to be there for the pre), in the meantime I’ll do some more map exploration and other events.

Hmm, but that’s very unusual that you’ve done the full event (even without pres) and not getting any credit (unusual because you did some other events in between). Didn’t you receive a medal?
Have you done enough damage to the claw and the foes around?

I can not remember with certainty if I got the medal or not, but I was there since the event started, I did damage to the Claw and killed a couple of champions (not just the auto attack, I was using whatever abilities I hadn’t on cool down). I will report whatever happens in the next Claw (too bad the time between spawning windows is too big, and also is the window itself).

Ok, so you might have gotten the medal for participating in it.
Then keep us updated about the next fight against it. There should be a way to figure out what is happening to you and if it is something odd it might be a (new) bug.

Second round against Claw of Jormag was successful. I guess I didn’t get the medal in the previous attempt after all (maybe trying to damage a lot of enemies made me not get credit on any of them). As for the Tequatl encounters, I guess that it was the camping thing that prevented me from getting any chests (I didn’t think it was an issue, because I have been doing that with other characters in other events without any apparent problems, but then again, maybe the pre events helped there).

Anyway, thanks Navi for your help, let’s hope the information you provided is helpful too for shannoncharlize.

Glad it helped. And now you know how to prevent it. :-)
