Big Bug - ALL crates and boxes empty and NO loots from anything i kill
Saera
✭✭✭
Not sure if this is a bug, seems it would be.. When going to a zone that is slightly lower than my level, any boxes or crates or anything except chests that I come across all say empty and i can not even open them, along with anything that I do not get xp for killing there is no loot.. This first starting happening in the prison when i hit level 4 no more loots from ANYTHING i killed and no more urns or anything could be opened.
Now i understand possibly this might be something that the game was made to do as to not take things from new toons etc, and if it is, it is wrong, and not because we cant take from new toons, but i will explain below why..
Reason it is wrong: It punishes completionists ...
I do not leave a zone unless it is totally done, as I am sure there are others that do this as well.. my husband is one of them. So if i have not discovered everything like the achievement says, or i have treasure maps i am still trying to find the treasure for i stay there until they are all done. So we then end up out leveling our zone we are in so as we go along we are now way out leveled for each zone, because we go zone to zone based on lowest level to highest level, because we follow our quest lines of where it tells us to go. Now that is all fine and dandy, but what about gear from loot drops, what about the things such as rawhide and other crafting materials that the npcs we kill drop, what about all the cooking supplies we need to get our provisioning up from the crates and barrels etc.. we are now not able to get any crafting done, thus are NOT making any gold as nothing and i mean NOTHING drops anything so no materials, no loots, no gold, how are we supposed to do anything in the game?
Now correct me if I am wrong please and just tell me this is a bug that can be fixed instead of punishing completionists.

Loxy37✭✭✭✭I don't think it's a bug. I've seen other people report the same. Its done I suspect to stop farming and to stop bots but it penalises people like you, me and others that don't abuse the system. Can you imaging what would happen if they did allow it though? You would never get quests done and you certainly would never get any mats because both would be farming the crap out of every area.
Only thing I can suggest it to roll a character and don't out level it but keep it in the desired zone until you have all the mats you need then move on. This is what I have done. I've parked 2 characters around level 10 and one is in the city and one is outside, they both gather mats for my main and my main gathers higher mats for their respective professions.Edited by Loxy37 on April 5, 2014 6:47AM1 -
Not that I'd ever use them as I see it as taking the fun out of it, but I have already started seeing maps on websites that show where every single node, skyshard, and lorebook is.

Not a bad idea but sadly it would take away from me playing my main lol been playing since day one of early access and just hit 9 due to my play style lol
As for the person that said there are maps online etc, I like to find these things myself it makes me feel accomplished.

✭Wow, good to know this could be a bug. I had a couple of quests yesterday where enemies killed were not lootable. Found it strange but I just figured Zos had changed it for bugs or something. I'll be sure to put in a bug report just in case.1 -
Yeah you see this game has an infestation problem probably because they hired *** 12yr olds to program this game floating boxes are the least of my concerns.0

Eris✭✭✭✭While doing the starter prison, I had to log off and on, when I did this everything from that point on was empty but before that loot was normal. I didn't think twice about it until this post, perhaps it is a similar situation.Side effects of reading messages on forums can cause nausea, head aches, spontaneous fits of rage, urination due to intense laughter, and sometimes the death of your monitor or other object in throwing range. If you find that you are reading forums more than 24 hours a day, please consult your nearest temporal physicist.0

Not sure if you are trolling, agreeing or what, but this has nothing to do with floating boxes lol
