Dungeon chests not sharing loot...?

Tootall2186

I was almost positive that the dungeon chests sharing loot when your group members are within x meters was in the last patch. But every chest we've tried to open doesn't give the other players the option. One person opens, everyone stands around, opener takes loot, chest goes bye bye.

This a bug or was it not actually put into the game yet? Is there something were missing? I haven't seen any posts about it so I wasn't too sure.

i agree something needs to be done about this been a dungens were one person lags behind and loot every chest very unfair system put chests in dungens on a roll system or a limit on how many u can open in a dungen

loot chest should disappear only for the person who loots it but stays on screen for next person to open

So it still works like it did before patch? Only the one that opens it gets the loot?

Definitely sounds like a bug.

The system has changed, that is no longer the case. There are now 2 chests per dungeon and everyone gets to loot.

I ran 5 dungeons tonight and it worked as intended in all of them. One person picked it and everyone else was able to loot it.

Each person has to manually loot it, because ZOS could not be bothered to just auto loot the chest for everyone when it opens.

So, if you open a chest, make sure everyone is close to you and tell people so they loot it.

Did you guys do something special? We tried to open the only 2 chests we found in VoM and when they were opened, while the test of us stood on top of the opener, the opener took the loot and the chest was then gone...?

No. We just announced there was a chest and waited for everyone get close and then popped it open. Each person then walked up and opened it and got their loot. We didn't pile on top of it. Some people were, what would equate to, a few yards away. We didn't do anything special, it just worked.

They work kind of like the new anchor chests, except that someone has to pick the lock first.

I don't know. Maybe your instance was bugged. <shrugs>

Was your quest buggy too? It seems like if the quest in the dungeon is bugged at all it screws up the chest loot some how...
