thanks for a fix!
-.-
Heres how to fix it guys, wait till u get to the last fire before the last boss. then do the gm help, im stuck/unable to progress bit, get teled out. and return to instance via the button at the top of ur screen. You need the blue line of quest to have ur chest opened. NOT the yellow quest. For somereason this doesnt work at the start of the dungeon, but does at the end.
Happy trails

(many people over many runs. and exactly the same drops for each person, per each dungeon, is not a fluke or chance)
First iirc, that wiki page is about from beta and not relevant to current DD chests (since the change to choice on set items - m1).
Secondly, please tell me the probability to get t2 set item (gloves for example) in more then 10 successive runs for one person, exactly the same belt for another person, and exactly the same ring for the third. All successive runs and more than 10 of them.
In Karru, FH,VT..
I believe for each class there is one of T2 dungeons with much lower drop rate for that specific T2 item. It is probably done on purpose just to keep people playing.
When you open the queue page click the dungeon you want and the flavor text at the bottom tells you what items drop in each dungeon , the NW wiki is kept up updated regularly and the information on the DD page is fully up to date , the chance to get drops is here - http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Dungeon_Delve#Dungeon_Delve_chest_drop_rates
I did the dungeons hundreds of times (playing since beta).
The probability that 3 different players will repeatedly get the same item is ..... very very low, not any T1 ring, but exacly the same t1 ring for more than 10 runs (back to back) !
Same with a person getting the t2 set item more than 10 times in a row. for 10% chance for T2 set item to be in 10 repeated runs is 0.1^10 = 0.00000000001 chance. and we just stopped at 10 couse, well, it is futile...
For exactly the same belt to drop it is (assuming something like 3 t2 belts total options) (0.25*0.3)^10 = 0.0000000000005
for this to happen to at least 4 different players simultaneously is not a chance, but a bug.
btw, the chance to win the lottery in the US is 7^-10 wich is a better chance than the events i wrote ^.
To clarify i'm talking about 10 out of 10 runs with the same item and not 10 rings out of 50 runs.
(rings are example - happens with t2 set items too as i wrote earlier and drops like evoker in VT)
Imo, it's from the last patch and perhaps related to the same thing made them to cancel the Alchemist event
Obviously, I may be suffering confirmation bias while exposed to a dreadfully streaky/clumpy PRNG, that's possible.
The only exception seems to be VT. For a long while now, way before mod3, if I did multiple runs during DD, I would sometimes get the same loot repeated 3 or 4 times in a row. And other times, back to back runs can give different loot. I have no idea what causes multiple runs of VT to give the same loot, but it happens often enough to seem less like a coincidence from RNG.
Normally quests will tell you what reward you'll get upon competition, which would lead me to believe that the end reward is set upon entering the dungeon and auto-acquiring the quest.
With those in mind, wouldn't it be possible to be stuck getting the exact "same quest" multiple times? I suppose you're using DD keys? Maybe they're not giving you a "new quest", but the "last quest" that you got from DD event, maybe?
That's just a theory, btw...
Interesting idea, and yes, it seems like it is not refreshed correctly.
Though i didn't used the keys, those have bugged and couldn't open the chest. So i ran the same dungeons during DD times.
Same is true for MC. Same loot in the chest (not only epic gear but also shards) in about 10 runs. And for example one person in our team sad he'd got about 10 Invokers at VT, cause loot was the same.
Its like yoou get locked to only that drop.
I was happy that to me in VT i keep dropping the main hand ... but some other ppl where dropping ring (3K AD salavaged)... not even enough to refund the price of epic dungeon key(5k AD )...
Fix it... asap...
really bothering player base.
What's not present in this bug report is how frequently a group of us completes the dungeon with or without keys in hand, during or not during DD, and when we return to run the place again, often the "Chest Unlocked" message doesn't appear. We do all kinds of things to address this, from leaving dungeon to logging out to leaving party altogether, to deleting our accounts, re-rolling to 60, getting the boons again, unlocking VT and then discovering the chest STILL won't trigger. (some of this post may have lapsed into hyperbole towards the end as we got ever more desperate.)
We ask the PWE look into this as well as the fix they did for the T1 chests as it seems it started happening about the same time. Or maybe make them BOE for the time being as a quick fix to help everyone out.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance..
