    The main purpose I play MMOs is to game with Friends. I've now grouped to solve two different in-game puzzles with friends which result in a banner as a reward, and only one of us can claim the prize.

    I get that you're trying to restrict these items so they are 'rare', but if I'm in party and we all worked to solve the puzzle ... why can't we all get the item?

    My suggestion is allow anyone in the party to get the item, then trigger whatever internal respawn timer exists.

    Agreed. This can be a bit frustrating.

    There's at least one banner chest that DOES work like that, so this may be an oversight. Bug it.

    That's underestimation .

    We yesterday did Elysium for the Banner too.

    Groupplay feels not rewarding at all.

    In a few quests I did with others (Grannus Colossus) it helped to logg off and enter in Solomode to receive the quest item. Don't know if it works for chests with banners equal.

    I agree bug report it. It happens on the mirror puzzle as well. For this we just came back another day and repeated it and I looted this time and got the reward.

    Done :)

    Good thought. It does defeat the purpose of grouping up, though. We did try to enter Friends-only mode and solve the Elysium puzzle. No banner, but the other chests had loot. I can try a solo mode and see if that works. Been trying to get the Honesty banner for a few days now (not in Elysium - been trying to get both Justice and Honesty for a few days).

    I did this in a group a few weeks ago, and couldn't get the banner. Just now, I came alone, and although I get a green cursor on the chest, it won't open.
