Diadem EXTREMELY Frequently Having Alliance Groups Not Getting Chest Credit

[Katlyna]

I'm filing the same problem AGAIN. I have included detailed information from the template. But again the problem is the same. We make an alliance with 24 people and every single time one group ends up short on loot drops. This time we were only able to get 5 silver chests and 24 bronze. We were unable to get credit for ANY of the * gold drop chests. And most of the silver did not drop either. The problem became much worse after three other groups joined our FC killing mobs on the island (for a total of ~48 people). Its 100% clear to me the problem is that credit is completely driven by some DPS marker you have to hit and if you don't do enough damage to said mob you don't get credit. This is IDIOTIC. All 6 groups did damage to the mobs. All 6 groups had 7 or more active members. Our group continually lost chests for NO apparent reason. We even were lopsided and only had one healer!!!

YOU NEED TO FIX THIS SE. This is getting freaking old having to apologize to one group every week because you can't balance a simple Damage check marker on treasure chests?! And this is being reported by OTHERS in the Diadem/Exploratory Mission forms. If there is additional information you want/need you need to let us know. I'm not sure what else I can provide you? Again this has happened every time we have brought 24 people to Diadem, one group ends up with a drastically lower number of chests because kill credit does not trigger, even though said group is attacking the mob in question.

Also there are many other people reporting this problem. More can be read here from their posts:

Time: Every week Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00 pm Eastern to 1:00 am Eastern
Frequency: Every time we do an alliance of 24 people in Diadem
World name: Ultros
Character name: Katrisa Ashe
Monster name: IV, V and * Diadem mobs
Class/Level: 60 Astrologian
Party or solo: Party of 8 (two tanks, one healer, and 5 DPS) and two more groups of 8 for an alliance of 24
Area and coordinates: Different islands with Dinosaurs in Diadem.

Steps:
1. Queue 24 people in Diadem Normal or Hard
2. Go to an island with dinosaurs, and start killing mobs.
3. Generally drops are fine and relatively even between the groups if its ONLY our FC.
4. Once more groups join in the killing some group or groups will start FREQUENTLY missing out on drops (with each of the other groups sometimes missing out on drops)
5. The more groups who team up, the worst the problem gets, to the point where one or two groups can stop getting drops entirely.
