Weekly Vault Chest possible bug or broken by design?


Recommended Posts

So I forgot to open the chest from last weeks weekly vault, which really annoyed me at first, but ok it happened and I set a reminder so I hopefully won't forget again.

Interstingly though my AA went up from 1030 to 1300, which is the cap at the moment and the items from the chest ended up in my inventory, this happened with the weekly vault reset.

But what happened next is the actual strange thing and possibly a bug - when I finished 6 out of 6 chest from this weeks Weekly Vault it showed me an already opened chest instead and I did not get any rewards out of it - not the AA and not the items.

So I contacted support and they tell me their records show that everything is fine as my chest was opened that day. Well yes it was opened but not by me and not for the current week.

I contacted them again and asked to look at the time stamps when it was opened, if it was at reset or after I finished the weekly tasks for the current week and they came back to me saying that if I did not open last weeks chest all the progress was lost, which is what you might expect would happen, but that is not what happened to me as stated above.

This raises a lot of questions for me, like why did last weeks chest open itself, if that is not intended and could this be the reason why this weeks chest bugged out - cause it's not designed to open twice in the same week? Anyone experienced the same behaviour already maybe?

It's been noted, repeatedly, that WV rewards that aren't 'picked up' will automatically be added to the account with the exception of the Daily.  Thus, it seems, WAI.

Exactly what I thought would happen, so why is support telling me that it is not working that way. Also that does not explain, why the current weekly chest showed as already opened, even though according to the statement above it should only affect the one from the previous week.

If they log exact timestamps for the opening of individual task chests they might be able to see that you opened the weekly chest before you opened any of the individual task chests, which should be impossible and would prove your story.

They might not log that kind of detail. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't but you could try that approach with support.

Actually I pointed them to the fact that they should check timestamps, but in the end I was advised to report the issue in-game as they can't help me any further within the ticket.

Ask them to escalate the issue upwards. Reporting the issue in-game does nothing for you personally.

I tested this with the daily a few weeks ago. If you leave the chest unclaimed, it will automatically claim the current chest when you load a character after it resets. If you were already on a character when it resets, the previous chest is simply lost without affecting the current one. When I tested this back when it originally came out, it properly claimed the previous rewards at reset if you were on a character, or after loading a character, without affecting the current rewards.

Update: After I got the timestamps with the actual times when the weekly chest from last week and this week have been opened on my account, I can safely say that there is some kind of bug going on. 

It looks like the current weekly chest opened exactly at reset time, which should not be possible before at least 6 weekly tasks have been done, right? 

So support was right that I got the weekly rewards, but they can't possibly be from the current week. 

Asked them to escalate the issue, let's see if anything happens, though I am not expecting to get the missing weekly rewards, I hope that someone looks into it and fixes this issue asap.

That is probably what happened. But nobody can do 6 weekly tasks in 1 second, so that is clearly an error.

So gaining last weeks chest you forgot to pick up is bad?

I dont see it that way.
