Out of the past 5 days it hasn’t given me a reward after reset on 3 of them. Just tried it…no reward on my first time through.

Very frustrating.

Winter Wonderland, empty loot chest.

Just happened to me. Nothing out of the chest.

Stephanie,

Champions not dropping loot as has been recorded in the huge thread is not perceived.

In 247 hours and 19 minutes played on my level 80 warrior out of 273 hours across all characters since launch I have had exactly ONE exotic item drop. I got that from the Penitent event in Orr. One exotic drop in almost 250 hours of playtime doesn’t seem to be right, but maybe I’m missing something?

After being logged out for almost 24 hours I went to do the Penitent event in Orr. 3 cycles of the two events and I did not receive a yellow item. No dye. No exotic. I got one green, one blue, some whites, and a lot of the porous bones.

Could there be an issue with the DR system? From the long thread and other posts, it seems like some people are in some sort of DR limbo that they can’t get out of.

Feel free to clarify, but after being logged out for 20 hours, should my first 5 drops from mobs in one of the Penitent events be porous bones? They were the first mobs I killed. Wearing no magic find gear.

Leaving there I went to Timberline Falls. I killed the angry veteran crab as part of the world event. I got no drop.

I hope this helps. My theory is that there is something in the DR system that is messing up.

Change in loot parameters or a bug? [Merged]

I have multiple hundreds of hours logged in the game. I started the hour the game went live. In that time I have received a grand total of ONE exotic drop (not counting the karka chest or zone completion auto-exotics), and that was a few weeks ago. ONE. I have received maybe a handful of rares from dragon chests.

Now please, Anet, try and tell me how that’s possible unless something is going on? It is virtually impossible for me to make money because all I get is junk that doesn’t sell for anything. I will never be able to afford my Norn’s cultural armor and I can’t even fully outfit him in exotic gear as it is because it would use all the little money I have.

This is completely deflating and demotivational in the extreme.

Please fix this.

Stupid loading screen is ruining this event.

Oh, so I have to go kill this tree halfway across the map? Let me just use this waypoint.

OOPS. That’s a mistake. Now I get to miss the rest of the event watching a static loading screen.

It will really be awesome if I don’t get credit for it.
