Does this only apply to people with connection issues? I didn’t have connection issues but I wasn’t able to get to the chest due to it vanishing after I rezzed and was on my way back from the nearest way point.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will this also apply to people like myself who participated in the event without DCing but just couldn’t make it to the chest in time to collect their reward?
The big issue here is they designed this around the case that people would exploit the chest. If it was up to long a single player could have switched between their alts to get multiple rewards. This means they could potentially do the event once and get a precursor for each alt.
Mailing would have been a good solution but probably technically it wasn’t feasible to do given the time they took to build the event. So they put in this solution without thinking of the edge case of of “What if the chest vanishes before the player reaches it.”, “What if the Player DCed”, “What if the player was dead and not ressed until after the chest vanished”. Basically bad design based around what I assume were technical limitations and fear of exploiters. So how do we fix this/get rewarded? I think what we’re doing is good, but I’d recommend everyone who had this issue submit a custom support ticket as well. The more issues they see the more pressure they will have to solve this problem.
Hey all,
Like many I participated in today’s event. During the last leg I died, hit the waypoint and trekked back. By the time I made it back the event was finished and the chest had already vanished. My party both got precursors and I literally got nothing. I’ve opened up a support ticket but I’m not going to hold my breath there.
I’m a longtime GW player and huge supporter of this company but I’m really disappointed with this as I feel like I got screwed in a one time reward that there’s no reason I should have missed.
Anyone else have the same issue?
