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.
For me it happened running the raid back to back after using a bypass timer.

Hmm, interesting, this has brought back a memory of when I was performing a test loot run to gather data for loot drops in Back to Basics, and that was in a back to back run too.

BUT, the one time difference I made there, was that I either recalled with the loot chest open in that run, or I didn't close it before I recalled out whilst next to the chest (whilst I normally pull away completely allowing the chest to close fully before recalling). And the next run when I got back there, the chest gave nothing because on opening you could see there was another chest there, the previous runs one.

I can not remember if this previous chest was visible to my other accounts that was looting now, as I just ignored it and jotted down the above actions (not closing chest or not closing and recalling), but there may be something in relation to re-running and not closing the previous "same" chest properly before the one in the new run.

Might be nothing, but putting recorded info out in case it helps.

I've seen the old chest from previous runs too on one of my no loot moments, BUT I also had no loot on my very first ever run

The interesting thing that I noticed, is that I would absolutely not have even known about the chest, because if others get to the chest first, I might think others got it open or it didn't spawn loot. But when it spawned for my test run, before I even opened it, there was the Masterwork/Exceptional Loot Blue Beam of Light above it and that's why I noticed - because it was there the previous run.

So if it actually happens often, but there was no indicator, there is no way to really identify it. So the issue may not be no loot, but you're opening the chest from a prior instance that for some reason wasn't cleared up and was put there again.

Note, that I had "held the instance" open for that occurance too and entered after the last toon exited and then brought them all in again. This might be a replicatable issue with this info. I'll go attempt checks on this later and report back once my morning carer duties have been executed first.

Hey, this happens when you were in the pit when the boss dies. (Where you go after being gripped) We have had this happen consistently.

Chest lingers between instances, hmmm. I wonder what else isn't being reset. Maybe reusing identifiers, game gives you whoever ran it last's chest timer?

I'm not so sure. I'm quite used to seeing double chests with one being left over/lingering from a previous run, so when I ever see it, I backspace to select and 'use', multiple times, to make sure I do hit the real this_run chest, as it is quite obvious, to me at least, there are double
