mrieder79 wrote:NEW LOOT SYSTEM EXPLANATION

-Everyone in a party can now loot the chest one after another and receive new loot.
-The chest will stay unlocked until everyone in the party has had a turn, then it will re-lock.
-Since they require keys, boss chests will not automatically re-lock after everyone in the party has looted them. This is to prevent losing loot if you are the last person in the party to loot and accidentally close the chest before you are ready.
-The loot will stay in the chest for 5 minutes before it is destroyed. If you forget to loot the chest, you can go back and get it if the 5 minutes have not expired.
-Each chest can now be looted ONE TIME PER RESET per character. This will be offset by the fact that everyone in a party can use each chest and multiple individual toons can loot the same dungeon at the same time. No more waiting for a dungeon to be 'vacant.'



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Oh no! I closed the chest before I was done looting and it relocked!
-Don't worry. Your loot is still there. Just bash or unlock the chest and you can get your loot.

Hey! Everyone looted the chest but it isn't relocking!
-If someone in your party is outside the dungeon, or somewhere else AFK, then it won't re-lock until a 3 minute timer has elapsed. Even though it is unlocked, new loot will still spawn for players who have not looted the chest yet.

Hey! This chest isn't locked. Is there loot inside?
-If you haven't looted the chest yet, then, yes! There is loot inside for you.

How come there are so many items in this chest?
-Chests are not emptied until 5 minutes after the last person closes them. This is to prevent people from losing loot. If you come upon a chest before the 5 minute timer has elapsed, you may find loot that someone left behind. Don't hold your breath, though. It's probably just gonna be banded mail +1.

My level is too high for some chests, but my friend's level isn't. Can I still unlock the lower level chest for him?
-Yes. Even if your level is too high for a chest you can unlock the chest for another PC. You won't get any XP for it and you won't be able to loot it, but your lower level friend will find loot in the chest when he opens it.

It seems like I'm only finding junk since the new system went into effect. Did you change the drop percentages?
No. The likelihood of finding “good loot” has not be altered.
