Diadem Gold Chests

[Pence]

It's hard to imagine that being the case, because we didn't even get bronze chests off some tier V mobs. I had gone in before with 2 tanks 2 healers 4 dps and seen multiple gold chest. It stands to reason that swapping second healer and tank for more dps would only help that? It seemed more like their contributions weren't being counted at all?

The only thing swapping out a healer for DPS does is give you more damage to get credit. It does not affect which colour chest you receive - this is all random with higher tier monsters having a greater chance of dropping gold.

Was you in a larger group? If there's 9 parties hitting a mob and each does only 11% of the mobs total HP (Which is nothing really) then I can easily see no chest being awarded to any team due to lack of contribution....this is SE we're talking about.

"In regards to reward distribution, since there are nine parties, while there may be situations where you are uniting with them to fight, the fundamental design is that of a field area, so the concepts are the same. In field areas, the first to attack a monster will secure drops, and those who attack afterwards will be entitled to rewards after dealing a certain amount of damage to the monster’s HP. This same rule will be applied to Exploratory Missions, so we’d like players to team up with other parties and defeat a large number of monsters. However, unlike the FATE system, there is no system in place for earning rewards through generating enmity. If we had this kind of system in place, it would like to situations where players just continuously use Flash to get rewards."
