RAD CHEST REWARDS ME

bookflirt

FIRST INCIDENT
1. Logged into my Hunter
2. Joined group with fellow guildie to do MEs
3. Accepted quest as leader and entered
4. Laid down a Chaos Rune for 3k RAD
5. Completed the zone all magick and tasks done
6. Opened chest 1st and received only 2250 RAD

Observed issue: The reward clearly stated 3k RAD on screen when opening the chest. Once I opened it this took my AD boost away but deducted the boost from my reward instead of adding it. To add to that my guildmate got my AD bonus of 750 that run


Expected outcome: to get the 3k in rewards plus the 750 50% AD bonus for a total of 3750 RAD

SECOND TIME (prayed)
1. Returned to yawning and accepted quest.
2. Gave lead to guildmate and entered painting
3. Guildmate laid Chaos Rune
4. Entered and completed tasks and all magicks.
5. He opened chest 1st and got the 3k.
6. I opened the chest and got only 1500 RAD.

Observed outcome: Again is said I lost 50% RAD bonus and instead of adding it, the game took away 1500 RAD. The game the gave it to my other group member again. They recieved the first 3k and an additional 1.5k, the exact amount I did not receive.

Expected outcome: to get the 3k reward plus the 1500 RAD boost for a total of 4500.

THIRD TIME:
1. Accepted quest
2. Guildmate stayed leader
3. Entered
4. Guildmate laid down an RP rune
5. Completed the zone and all tasks
6. I picked up chest 1st and recieved only 2250 RP

Observed outcome: Instead of the 4500 RP stated I only received the 2250. And my mate got 2250 onto of his reward when he opened the chest.

Expected outcome: to get 4500 RP

I switched to my DC and the same thing happened on all runs in a group(we added a third). They all got my RAD bonus. So example, I only got 1500 RAD instead of the 3k, BOTH members of the group besides myself received 1500 RAD randomly the moment I opened the chest in their log. We run chaos most of the time for the diamonds. I switched to my TR and same thing except the last run I had no AD bonus. Instead of my group getting the bonus the chest ONLY rewarded myself 1000RAD.

This has been the third day of noticing this and it is consistent with other players reports on social media. Yesterday I kept tally of the RAD lost and it totalled to over 20k. That's almost half a million RAD that, if this problem is from mod drop and likely, that I have personally lost and others have gained. This is an unfair advantage against myself and others affected.

I have forwarded this to the dev team.

At this hour, nobody is online to advise me further, but I think you may want to file a ticket via the website as well.

From my experience of several hundred ME on PC, it's all because of how the loot is weirdly separated if you're in a group, for the "quantitative" loots like AD, RP and Gold.

To explain precisely what I found about this:
- If you're alone to run the ME, you'll get all the loot you're supposed to have.

- It's when you get in a group that things get complicated because it depends on how many people actually have the quest when they enter the ME with you. Remember that you don't need the quest to participate (luckily for Watcher farm). So let's say we're in a group of 3 people and the expected outcome from the chest is 3k AD:
=> If everyone have the quest, each person will receive expected/number of people AD in the chest, PLUS the same reward for each time the chest is opened. That means I'll get 1k when I opened my chest, and I'll get 1k when Dude A opens his chest, and another 1k when Dude B opens his chest. This is true for everyone.
=> If not everyone have the quest, well the repartition is the same, but considering that not everyone opens the chest, you get less outcome than you should. If I'm the only one to have the quest, I'll get 1k for my chest, and that's it. The other 2 members don't open their chest (they can't without quest), and I won't get their part of the loot, which is supposely mine on the first part.

This was verified on 100% of my runs. And yeah probably not expected.

Yeah, I'm waiting on a response from the dev team about whether or not that is what is intended, but I still think they either should clarify or fix it if it's not working as intended.

The chest rewards seem to be divvied up between team members.

I know if you use the Rune for gold it gets split up between the party so this sounds like the same thing. It's probably working as intended since GOOD rewards are never given in NW.

In the instances above we all had the quest and were in party during the incidents. Never did my toon get the 3k RAD reward stated in any of the three runs on all three toons. It still doesnt change the fact that my other group members recieved the original 3k RAD and the amount I was missing.

This also happen with the RP rune. I only recieved 2250 but my husband got 4.5k plus the 2250 for a total of 6250 for the run. We both had the quest, he was the leader, I opened chest 1st.

I find this is most problematic when you have a Boost. Today I had the same outcome, but was in a random group(5). In a Chaos rune run I got 600 from two individuals that opened a chest and 1k for myself giving myself a total of 2.2k for the run. Still not the 3k stated when you open the chest. I decided to leave and wait to run my other two when I was with guildmates to see if I still had an issue as we can communicate and screen shot our Logs together.

Thank you for forwarding. I look forward to their reply!

Wanted to see if there was ever a response from the inquiry made on July 8th.

Seeming as there was another post about this particular subject posted on the 31st, I wanted to check in again. Thanks.
