Area-loot bug

Support Customer Support
1

For several months now I have had an issue with looting stuff, or rather NOT looting stuff.
It’s always the same. I area-loot as normal, but the game doesn’t pick up everything. When I loot a second time, I notice that it is always an item that I already looted another copy of.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a grey, green or Epic item, it can be any of those, but it ONLY happens when there is more than one of the item.
To make matters worse (for the bug-solvers) this is not a constant issue. It happens sporadically, I’d say roughly one in every 30 loot.

But this is seriously doing my head in. I have to constantly check if I got everything in the first loot. I can’t begin to count how many times I have started moving away from a gathering node, only to notice that it didn’t loot fully, or have to move back to a boss to loot him again because he dropped two of the same item and the game didn’t pick both up.

I have tried using a different computer with zero mods and it STILL happens, so 100% not a mod problem.
I know this is Customer Support and not Bug Reporting, but I am posting this here for visibility, as others must have the same problems.
So please, if you are having the same problem, PLEASE post in this thread, so we can see how big the problem is.

Thanks.

Edit: I found a thread on the US forums where several people are having the exact same issues.

I noticed the same in Tempest Keep, Yes. However I have submitted a bug report.

It’s a little annoying yes, but a second click is not something I really see as a big problem tbh. Hence I made a bug report about it and moved on. I just reclick if a mob is still all sparkly.

Hey folks,

I have actually noticed the same as I recently resumed farming Invincible’s Reins. If a duplicate item drops, I need to interact a second time. I put in a bug report ingame which I hope you can do as well when it happens next time. :slight_smile:

This has been happening for a long time, I have been soloing dungeons since before the dynamic levelling and this happened then. Pulling all the mobs in the stockades and killing them with AoE, the looting sometimes takes 3 goes.

That should be read not as “a game-breaking problem” but rather “how big? 2 people with the same issue or 200?”
I am not suggesting it is game-breaking, but very annoying.

Well if it wasn’t for having the sparkles on I wouldn’t know I needed to loot again.

Happens to me all the time, but not game breaking, its like second nature now to loot twice whilst doing old raid runs.

Also having the issue but like others have mentioned i’ve simply learnt to loot twice these days.

The same applies for herbing and mining. Often I get 1 herb or ore from a node and if i do not loot it twice I get it sent in the mail. It is rather annoying but nothing we can do about it I guess

But there is. As several people mentioned above, making a bug report ingame means that the people who can do something about it will realise that it’s not just one person with the problem, but a lot.
