Guild Wars 2

G’day,

This keeps happening to me 9 out of 10 times: When we defeat the final Mordremoth champion, I can’t open the big chest.

Additional information:

1. Yes, I do have auto-loot activated, but no, the loot is not in my inventory. Trying to open the chest via loot/use key does nothing either.

2. Even when I don’t die during that last fight and participate in dealing damage to the boss, the chest still remains locked to me. So that’s not it, either (i. e., registered damage dealt by me).

What am I missing or doing wrong?

I just deactivated auto-loot and did not encounter this issue, so it has to be a bug.

Please fix! Thanks.

It sounds as if you just aren’t seeing the loot enter your inventory when it happens, which is before the cutscene. That’s why turning off autoloot seems to work.

If you go back and look at your chat (with game messages:inventory enabled), you should the list of items that went directly into inventory. Alternatively, you could split some stacks so you have a full inventory before you go into the final fight with autoloot still on and you’ll see the ‘full inventory’ message.

I was keeping track of my inventory when testing this, and I am telling you, there is some sort of bug.

Then contact support.

Give them (as best you are able) date|time of successful kills, character name(s), and (if you have it) the IP addresses of the instances you were in.

I, too, keep track of my inventory and I, too, thought I didn’t get any loot from the vinewrath. However, it turned out (as suggested above) that I just didn’t notice, because the loot appeared before the cutscene, was below average, and therefore just slotted into existing loot in inventory. I couldn’t be sure until I reviewed the chat log and counted nightmare keys (I had +1).

Of course, something else might be going on with you. On the other hand, my experience is also consistent with what you are seeing.

edit: grammar — I’m sure “existence loot” would be excellent in some other context

Gaile Gray.6029:

Earlier this week, I had taken out the same boss in <24 hours (not a factor with all bosses, but a general statement of how some work) and therefore wasn’t entitled to the chest.

Just in case: unless something changed recently, there was no such limitation on SW boss.
