Guild Wars 2

I have done vinewrath a few times in the last few days (*just to be sure this was happening) and when i have auto loot turned on, i dont get any loot from the vinewrath chest after the event.

Today, i stayed on the outside line (south) and checked my bag before the event finished to make sure i had no loot in it… when the event finished (yes i was fighting the entire time) i didnt get anything..

I walked into the boss room.. and i saw Vinewrath chest in letters above the chest, so i was sure it hadnt looted anything yet for me.

Walking closer.. checked my pack again.. no loot.. and when i got at about 900 range, the words over the chest disappeared like auto loot kicked in. Checked pack.. nothing in it.

I looted the bandit chests on the left beside the main chest… then waited for the scrolling loot to stop… walked over and tried to click on the vinewrath chest.. and it wouldnt let me open it.

This has also happened to me during the teq event. I see the name over the chest and when i walk to it.. i get nothing and the words disappear and i cant loot the chest.

Is this a known bug.. is there anyway to fix it without disabling auto loot?

i worked really hard over the past 2 weeks to get the mastery points for auto loot and i do NOT want to have to turn it off for every single chest event that i do.. that would make no sense at all.

1. Is this a known bug?

It sounds like you autolooted successfully and just weren’t able to distinguish the new loot. I haven’t had any problem getting the loot, although sometimes we don’t see the new items scroll past (i might happen during the cutscene, for example).

However, if you’re correct and there’s a bug, here’s what would help ANet troubleshoot the issue:

• Take a ‘before’ screenshot of your inventory.
• Take a screenshot where one can see ‘Vinewrath Chest’ still lootable.
• Walk in and take an ‘after’ shot of your inventory.
• Submit a support ticket with those details (adding the approximate time/date and the /ip address of the map).

Save looting the bandit chests until afterward, just to avoid confusing the issue.

Good luck and please let us know what you find out.

Do be aware: you will not be able to send in the screenshots until after the initial response from the CS Team (there’s nowhere to attach files to the initial web-form used to create a support ticket).

Good luck.
