Majestic Chests that Disappear

I have also noticed that as you beat the bosses the earlier chests vanish. Once I updated to 1.20 and popped all the chests once they all went away!

I've been playing a couple of characters and noticing exactly this pattern. I guess this is Ironlore's way of making us continue playing normally rather than repeatedly farming a trail of MCs.

Ok Sanchez said that none of his Chest have dissappeared and i know that he mods the crude out of his game so I assumed that he only plays solo... So since all of my quests have been done in multi (with a bunch of toolboxes jumping in my room and completing Mt. Olympus while I am yet to fight the spider queen). I decided to delete all my quest files. But not just there I deleted everything except my map. (I wanted to see where I needed to run to). Then I ran through and methodically repeated every quest.

What I found. I found that I was re-rewarded all quests. (Exp and Skills and Attributes and items) All the magic chests remained! So I think it might have something to do with the order that you complete the quests and triggers throughout the game. Maybe someone else can check this.

I still need a complete list of chest locations but I've noticed none of my chests missing. They are always right where they always are. I dont play online at all but here's a thought......Did you personally open any of the missing chests during online play? Try playing online ( by yourself ) and open the chest. then after doing so, close and go back in single player. Is the chest still there? I bet it will be. Now try playing with someon else and have them open the chest. Go back to single player and the chest will be gone if I'm correct in what I think is happening.

when you delete the *.que files you're able to do the quests again? hmm seems like (unaware) abuse to me, when you get skillpoints again...

When i was trying it out (deleting the .que) Poly on epic had two chests for me (why ever)...

oh and hello everybody - this is my first post in this forum d:
feels like digitally deflowering myself *sigh* ^_^

Yes. Agreed it is abuse, but its too much work to do for the same job the defiler can do in seconds. The two chest phenom has been pointed out before, here or other places. I know I have posted it once. (im just letting you know not bashing a repost).

Welcome to the forums!! Its a great source of tons of information. I know much has been posted already so dont hesitate to use the search feature.

@Dirty Sanchez
I have all my chests back now... I dont really want to test it... . I'll see about it when I have the extra time. I think it has something to do with the triggers and stuff though. I think it is a result of rushing... perhaps and accidental deterant!! Well thats all I got now.

I figured I'd throw this out there:

It appears by removing all que files, regular, backup, and TQVault backup and starting a new game the chests reset. However if you replace the files back AFTER starting a game then exitting the game it resets quest log to be as it was, and the chests are back anyways. This seemed to work for me, so it's possible to reset quests, then restore them, and the chests SHOULD be back.

I'm no expert in why this would be the case, but it does provide a "fix" without regaining all the quest rewards and abusing the crap out of it.

So we are clear. You removed all files from said difficulty. All the random .que files, you took your map file and your Quest file and moved it to a different folder. I assume this reset all of your progress in that difficulty? You started a game. Ran around a bit. Closed the game. Replaced all the files and started the game again and all the chests were back and permanent? That seems weird.

[RichterLocke]

Yep, that's basically what I did, except I didn't remove the map, just the .que files and the token files. I'm not sure why it fixed it, but obviously the chests reset by removing the files. Then replacing all the files put me back to where I had been previously, but the chests were still back where they should be. It also appears that they are the lower quality chests as well, though with my luck with them I couldn't tell if that was an original chest with bad luck or a lower quality one

edit:
Since I know for a fact my Scarabeus chest vanished after joining a MP game where the chest had already been looted, it very well could be some sort of goof up in processing the chests in quests in MP and such. I know earlier in the thread someone mentioned it might have something to do with MP games, and I can only assume it's quite possible that might be the case. I know nothing about how the files work, but I am thinking by resetting the quests it takes out the erroneus MP chest vanishing glitch, and when you return the files it loses memory somehow of the MP aspect and keeps the chests there anyways. Again, certainly no expert, I'm just a hardcore gamer, but this is the best theory I could come up with

[meleeNut]

The chest dissapear for me in single player. It seems to happen when I kill the next quest boss.

I know very little of it also... but I dont see how the files can lose anything during their transfer... I could try and test your method, but I do not think I will have the time until the New Year. I am skeptical of it since I dont understand how copy files from one place to another will change anything... we'll see.
