View Full Version : DQ warded chest bugged?

Just ran elite DQ for the first time since the Update (I think). We got the standard 2 chests, but both chests were labeled "Chest" rather than one being labeled "Chest" and the other "Warded Chest" (as is usually the case). We didn't get any named loot but we were two-manning it so it's hard to tell if it just lost its normal name or if the chest was actually not capable of generating raid loot.

Has anyone else had this happen? Is this a known issue? Just trying to get more information but I couldn't find any threads about it.

The "Warded Chest" nomenclature is an artifact from when the raid (and others) was first implemented.
On completion, two tokens were dropped for the raid leader, who could pass them out (or not*) on a whim, and each allowed one guaranteed raid loot drop from the warded chest.
That mechanic was nixed a long time ago, and the terminology is just catching up. I'm pretty sure it was in the U12 release notes.

*: It was commonplace to either shortman raids or shortchange the raid group in favor of keeping the ward bypass tokens for oneself / one's circle of friends, hence the reason this mechanic is no longer in place.

Ahh, I saw that note when I originally read the release notes but didn't know what it meant. Since it references The Titan Awakes, I must have forgotten it.

Thanks for the info!

Shortmanned an elite DQ earlier, and raid loot dropped.

Did an elite DQ yesterday. 3 raid items were there: Pouch of Jerky, Marilith Chain and the Cloak of Zephyr.

I've been dual-boxing elite DQ lately and have to say it's moving me to tears by the way...

I now have Marilith Chain and a Chaosblade.

On my arcane. :(

But yes, been having no trouble getting raid loot in there albeit the wrong raid loot every time. :(
