Boon books from Dragon chest bug.

edited September 2014 in General Discussion (PC)
So I opened a Dragon chest in Epic Lair of Lostmauth with a key I had crafted, I saw one of the boon books ( I forget which it was, happened so quick), so I clicked 'Accept'. I didn't receive the book, it wasn't in any of my inventory tabs and when I checked the campaign window where it lists what you need to unlock a new boon, there was no book listed there. I know I clicked Accept because the one and only key I had crafted at that stage had disappeared.

I opened a ticket and without sharing exactly what support said (as it's against the rules), I was encouraged to file a bug report. Really not happy about this.

Happened to anyone else?

    Known bug, unfortunately not ETA for fix though. Also very unlikely they will give it back to you.

    So does it happen every time a book or belt etc appears, or is it sporadic? So it's not worth trying for either?

    I heard it happens on every loot. What's shown isn't what you get for the key.

    It's sporadic- the loot you get is sometimes different to that displayed. It's mostly from mod 4 chests, but has been known to happen with chests, profession nodes, and various other places, too. The loot display has been buggy for ages- for a while it displayed double loot, too.

    Sadly, this particular version of the bug has happened to many, many people. It's not just books- it's belts and everything else, too. Feelings are running very high, understandably. I haven't yet heard of anyone getting satisfaction from raising a ticket, nor have I seen news of a fix. Panderus said that they were "tracking" this; make of that what you will.

    Why are people still doing Lostmauth and stuff if those bugs are not fixed ?
    If people will stop doing those runs, maybe the bugs will be fixed.
    If people still playing bugged chest instances then .. "ok let it like that, they play so no problem"
    If you see this and have the answer - PM me or answer real quick because this post will be removed

    Well, at the very least, people should avoid spending Zen on the keys until this is fixed. That's just sensible, and I doubt that Cryptic would be surprised or offended to hear that suggested.

    Why should they fix it ? Some people still spend their ZEN to get AD to buy boon books from AH, as they're not able to get them in other way, or spend them to buy keys hoping for a chest drop. It's pure profit. I assume it's either greed or blindness of the developers: the new module has been already announced while most ppl still can't unlock their previous module boons. Wtf ?

    So this is the worst news ever in neglected bugs for me. Fix it before mod 5.

    Yeah the producer has said they are 'tracking' this issue so at least they accept that this is a bug , people have also seen artifact belts in the cheat ,pressed to accept the drop and not received the belt that they saw.

    They are working to WotC timetable , not their own.

    Honestly, with the way everything ties together, I'd be shocked to see a totally new campaign added in Module 5. I would hope it's just more ways to complete the current campaign, complete with ways to earn those 4 and 5 boons faster.

    It could be why those last two boons take so much to earn, because the original intent was to spread it out over a couple modules.

    I think people ( And Devs ) need to re-think their terminology of what a bug is when talking about this stuff,

    1) When your playing content and you completed it and got your reward... " It is not broken "

    2) Here I'll use the mimic chest as an example, sometimes when I fought and defeated them the game would get extremely slowwwwwww until the animation subsided this wouldn't happen with every one and not even happen with the same chest all the time so in my mind I would class that as.... " A Bug !!!!! "

    3) Now you have people that are not even getting the loot that shows, and going by the above quote, you can't call this a bug, sure you can track it, but IMHO I think someone, " Dropped The Ball " and no one wants to step up to the plate and except the responsibility.

    It is not right to have in the description of what is needed and in the same sentence say it is available in the regular and/or Epic Sot and LoL and not see them at all or maybe a few times during a Blue Moon or when The Planets are aligned correctly.

    Cheers!

    P.S. As for not doing the quests anymore, as long as I can get something out of the main chest(s) I'll keep doing them but I'll never be spending AD on the Xtra key nor buying any keys of the store for anything, because in my experience with the SoT xtra chest it isn't worth spending my precious AD on anyway.

    The "loot display" has been bugged for ages. For a while, I believe it didn't display anything. Now it displays stuff, but the wrong loot. It's really frustrating for people (like the OP) who wish to use it to see if they want to use their key.

    Devs seem to always mess up when programming chests and everything related to them?

    Unlikely is an understatement. I'd say you have a better chance at winning powerball every day for the next year.

    I lost some items sending an email, they acknowledged the bug but wouldn't replace the items lost.

    This bug is getting me more and more peeved off. I have done Epic Lair Of Lostmauth three times now, each time was awarded purple main weapon, and each time I received instead some stupid ring. I just now went through it (3rd time) and took a screenshot of it saying I was awarded it, then another screenshot showing the jank ring it gave me. I sent a request to both Arc support and in-game bug report, only one that replied was Arc. Do in-game dev's never get back to us?

    I wish I saw the thread sooner. Just finished this dungeon. I saw Draconic Sword in chest, got useless Ring of Evasion. What a waste of time and AD. I waited over 10 minutes to get in which is unusual since as a GF, I normally get match pretty fast. Guess more and more people are put off with this bug.
