Please Extend Loot Bonus - Chests Still Capped @35

[jakeelala]

As known from Lama release notes, Update 30 will finally include a fix to uncap chests, which are supposed to go up to level 40.

With chests currently capped (allegedly) @35 (though sometimes feels lower), the Loot bonus ending just before the fix seems at best like an oversight, and at worst kind of mean.

Please consider extended this bonus period. Also, aren't loot weekends supposed to +2? Its the 10th Anniversary!

Thanks

Here are the Lama notes showing the change to Chest Level cap.

I actually have no idea if they're capped at 35 or not. I think its probably a lot lower, like 31-32, based on Farming Grimm and Barrett on LE with a Chest Blesser and Loot Gem. The end reward items are FAR better consistently than the chest loot, and the chest loot benefits from what should be 3 or more levels of loot increase bonuses. It could be capped as low as 30.

I am actually doubtful that the fix even works.

I posted my findings from testing it on Lama: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...74#post5784974

As can be seen I am getting the exact same number of pp on Lama with a supposedly level 37 chest that I am getting the live serves. I obviously dont know for certain if thats indicative of the chest level but its the only way I have to estimate it.

If anyone else did any testing of the fix and posted their findings I missed it.

Hey thanks for the info. I would be happy to test it myself but Lama is down if I'm not mistaken.

Plat used to be a great surrogate for chest level, and it may still be. Though it's possible since loot tables are such old tech (10 years!) they just cap at a certain point in the chest, regardless of the level the loot can roll. Ofc, you may just be right and it's still totally broken. We'll get to test it in a few days I guess.
