No chest of fortune in FoF vault.

    This morning, me and partner completed Fof, immediately opened vault, as the vault door slid downwards we both immediately noticed no chest of fortune next to athena chest. No other boats, no rowboats, no merms, the only thing we could find was a recent player listed 2 mins ago 0 friend 0 follower day 1 pirate with their only achievement on their profile of eating a banana but no evidence anywhere of anything, all other loot was there including kegs.

    So, do Fof's not always drop a chest of fortune? Or did someone teleport inside and take it before it was even opened? Bugs? I'd like to understand whats going on.

    might be a loot bug going around with a lot of rng to it. I've seen a few people claim things are missing when they open the vault

    one person just had a couple of chests and a skull inside

    I've seen reports on reddit of cheaters teleporting them out of vault, no evidence but a few people mentioned seeing this and apparently this hacker had some fof referencing name.

    We had this happen to us earlier today as well. Completed an Hourglass battle, FoF spawned right next to us while we were looting. We sailed over, quickly completed it; no Chest of Fortune. We had clear field of vision when the door opened so no one got in before us.

    Figured it was either a cheater or a glitch

    Got the chest but the conquer/sell counter didn't register.

    The best you can do now is go to the room above the vault when you land on the fort and check that there's actually a chest inside. If it's a bug and they aren't spawning, you'll save yourself the trouble. Otherwise, Rare knows about the teleporting cheats and is always working on denying cheaters their cheats.

    Sometimes commendations take a while to count. At the very least, you have to go to the commendation menu, then back out and go back in. At the worst, you'd have to wait until the count trickles through a server buffer somewhere.

    @grumpyw01f aye here's hoping.

    Finally i managed to get a look in and do one and solo too without contest. Did it yesterday evening and the season deeds where popping up blank so yeah hopefully give it the usual 72.

    Did a FOF last night. No tuckers, no merms, no other boats. Open the FOF vault, immediately go in and no chest of fortune....awesome.

    @karkona if it's just the CoF that was missing and the xbox profile was as new as that, then it definitely was a cheater.

    @triheadedmonkey serious question here... most people dont read forum rules. there are some rules that are a given. but some stuff like bumping old posts like this... Then they get locked and threatened with a ban. that seems a bit harsh when shouldnt that be on you guys?

    you could have designed the forums to auto lock posts that are 30 days old. i have only seen you give warnings but I have seen it A LOT lately and i would imagine it would save you a lot of CTRL+C, CTRL+V if the site just automatically locked them for you. also weired that the forums were revently updated and still doesnt account for this
