problem with treasure chest quest

sachelfunlol

i posted this in general and was pm'd in game to post here too as it would get more attention maybe thank you


I found this out the hard way, even if no one has the quest and you get to the correct point to trigger the quest and chest, not only can others see it they can dig the chest as well, attack the boss and grab your loot if any . This is a big problem at the west gate which the 4th or 5th map brought me to as all the pk people will be there. An archer ran straight to the chest and starting digging it and spawned the boss. Luckly i brought my sin along because i was not sure what king of boss would spawn and even if my barb could handle it without dying. I find this pretty horrible on the programers part to allow someone to dig it that doesnt even have the quest.

I have to agree that it's wrong to have this quest like this, if your going to spawn a chest for a quest, the person with the quest should be given a special item so that they are the only ones availible to dig the chest and spawn the boss.

Other people being able to kill the boss you need shouldnt be happening either.

If it could be done, the chest and special boss should be spawned in a private area, like the one you go to for the Goshinki quest line.

Anyone else have any ideas on this?

If not a private area, atleast some where that is far enough away from players that it will not become an issue. It could still be around arch, just not within site of a large hangout. With the amount of hp that boss has, well the one that spawned, it can be killed quite quickly. I was just lucky enough to have my sin right next to barb for support. If it had been another sin or similar, there would have been no way to get control of agro to get the drop, hence kill stealing my barbs drop.
