hi,
i recenlty leveled a mesmer in EOTM and WvW and while doing that i got at least 20 world ranks. i did not open the rank chests and bonus chests thinking that i will once i ding lvl 80. the chests kept on bouncing and shining on the bottom of my screen but when i wanted to open them (should have been at least 20), they were only 3-4…
so, i guess i cannot do a thing to get them back.
is it a bug?
thanx

Sometimes, if you have “too many” bouncy chests, they are opened for you. You don’t lose the loot, but you generally don’t notice, because it appears along with other stuff you’ve picked up along the way.

You can only have 3 bonus chests visible at one time, although you can have more earned. Accepting any of the chests will cause the next chest to fill in the spot. If you have more than 3 though, one may automatically be accepted whenever you load a map.

Quite welcome.

Personally, I think the system is more confusing than it needs to be.

  • There’s one visual limit: 3 bouncies (chests, hearts, whatever).
  • There a second limit in how many of each type you can store (I think 5 hearts, 5 map completion chests, and 5 bonus chests; not sure about rank up chests).
  • There’s no way to know how big the backlog is.
  • There’s also no way to tell which bouncy is from what, in case you like opening them in a certain order.

I’d prefer to see a number on the bouncy that tells you how many you have compared to the max possible, e.g. W-Boss Bonus: 4|5, Dungeon Bonus: 4|5, Heart: 4|5, with appropriate icons. And the same count should appear in the dialogue box/pop-ups, so you learn when bouncies are opened for you because of changing maps.
