Relentless Chest

This is an issue we're still investigating - There is currently no known cause, it has not yet been able to be reproduced internally despite much effort, and there is no update to give. It does not appear to be an issue with the chest or treasure tables themselves.

When there is an update to give, we will give it as soon as possible.

idk if this will help, but when I have it happen to me, the chest lags when populating the loot, and when the loot populates 1 by 1, it skips populating some of the items. it doesn't just immediately not give everything, the chest fails to populate all the loot. I have pulled a named items but not runes/threads/mats for example due to the named items populating but the other stuff not

I guess going forward, is there any plan to distribute bypass timers to folks this happens to? Or is it just a SOL, better luck next time kind of thing?

it's happened to me 3 times in r1 runs, just gold showing up. Didn't see any lag when opening. Not seen it happen in any other chest.
ANd been in runs when it's happened to others about ~4-5 times that I know of when they mentioned it in chat ( none at the times when it happened to me)

I was aware of this bug as I'd seen it happen to several. Tonight, I got to experience it firsthand. No loot--at all. No plat. Nada.

It's not out in the ddo store yet, hopefully they will have fixed it by the time it's there lol

Pretty sure that 100% of people playing Lamordia before it's released on ddo store have paid with actual money (and let's not forget the tiered prices). When Lamordia is released on ddo store, there is a fairly high chance people who buy it with points already have a stack ready from countless TR or bought that handful during the holydays. Maybe I'll buy in a year or two when it goes on sale...maybe.

Point is that DBZ is right, they have already harvested the bulk of the money and whoever wants to buy the "new" pack already knows it comes as it is. SSG has understood the players will buy anything and they don't need to commit too much effort in work ethic.

I mean...it's not like there's still bugs from old expansions found on Lamannia and still present in the game or that took just a few years to fix, right? (magic fang for the furries? Helm of the artblade? The list goes on).

I thought magic fang was "fixed" and so was the helm?

Friend commented that this seems to be the same situation as MoD - and the way they ensured successful looting was getting people to loot one at a time. Guessing this use case was tested internally though?

I don't know, but I also wondered what methods they were using to replicate a real world scenario of 12 people looting the chest at the same time.

At this moment, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a variant of the Logging into another persons account issue where the servers fell over simultaneously.

I do have recollection one time where I had two named items drop for one of my toons, given the information that is spreading around now, it might be possible the loot generator dropped it into my name instead.

:: edit ::
For the record, I do remember someone else mentioning they had the loot drop issue at the same time (same run).

Yes, it was to point out that in the best of cases it takes SSG at least a year to fix things there were pointed out on Lamannia. Let's all remember that doopalooza was also warned would happen and discovered on lamannia. If you can guess what SSG decided to do about it you win a breath of fresh air.

They don't need to put in real effort like they did in the past.

FWIW I have had back to back no runes & only basic loot (gem and I think 2 crappy randoms), 1st was just a normal run in an loot, 2nd I didn't loot for a few seconds.

Thankfully I haven't experienced it in the last 6 or so runs.

@edit - @SteelStar would adding a logging script to the chest loot output be beneficial?

Well just done another r1 run - no runes did get The Wicked Spines and normal loot - I am running a Greater Elixier of Discovery and VIP bonus applies. Second r1 run without runes - surely cant be that hard to replicate.

Steel said they couldn’t replicate “despite much effort”

Definition of much effort: Attempted it two times and got loot every time. No issues here.
