Chest looting is wonky

Unread post by Darkcloud777 »

Am i the only one who is seeing chests that are not resetting and other chests that when you unlock them and open them they are empty?



...i checked my client extenstion and i noticed this error

Yeah I have seen this lately. Asked a DM and they had no idea what was going on.

Some chests can still be looted if your level just one level too high. You get the loot, the lock will reset quickly, but inside, will be empty until it refills.

I know one of the chests in the Wyrm lair often does a premature reset only to be empty when you open it, usually after a 200 HP trap.

the second problem as pointed out is bc the ones that are level restricted can still be looted within like a 1 or 2 level gap over the limited and instantly relock

the first problem is likely lag, if someone loots a check and hits loot all or double clicks the items when its laggy they can break the chest causing it to actually never close, if a chest doesnt close it doesnt reset but it doesnt stop the respawn timer

if you fix a broken chest you can still get the loot from it if it has respawned, but it has to be fixed first
