Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is actually a bug or if I just have a much worse memory than I believe, but several times, about 4, over the last few days I have completed a Balloon ride quest, with gold level completion, and gone to the top of the tower only to have the chest already be open when I get there and receive no loot. Most recently this happened in Greyhoof Meadows – Kessex Hills. I don’t remember ever coming here to do this balloon. It also happened in Snowden drifts yesterday.

I’m playing a level 40 Sylvari mesmer, if that’s at all relevant. Other people didn’t seem to have a problem with the chests I was at.

I’ve encountered something similar to this. I’ve opened 2 chests in Wayfarer, Gendarran, Ashford & Queensdale. The chests had loot, but somehow I only have 6 balloon towers visited in my achievements instead of 8.

This has just happened again in Triskellion Vale. Beat the Champion, went up the balloon thing and the chest opened as I was walking up, didn’t give me an “open” option as others have and I didn’t get any loot out of it. Rather frustrating.

There are others who are experiencing the same problem. Mine is in in Queensdale near Kryta Waypoint (Eldvin Monastery).

I rebooted my game tried with another toon for a total of 3 times and every time I climb the last flight of stairs I hear the sound of opening chest and when I get up to the chest, it’s already open. I could not interact with it. I sent a bug report but no response yet and this was on the first day of the new content.

This has happened for me too. I’ve only opened one chest and it was in bloodtide coast. This one was in Queensdale is it showed up holding SHIFT on my ele. I did not open it. On my necro, it was already open.
