SWL Valentines Event - get ready to grind

So for those who don't look at discord:
The mission is bugged (again). Basically, opening the chest requires a key, which means it uses up a patron dungeon key. Also, the loot is weird (not that good).
So expect fixes as soon as they can. The gist of it from what they said is:
8 hours CD on the chest, with "pity" loot in the meantime, similar to opening multiple NYR chests in a day. The "pity" loot doesn't appear to actually be bad, though, from what they said.

Will be keen to see what this "pity" loot is... If it is the difference between NYR CD and pity there, yuck!
 
Now that it's been out there a few days, it seems the loot is underwhelming, both the pity one and the normal one. But to be fair, it was busted good last year, so it was bound to pale in comparison.
 
Nirvelle said last year that he is fine with the quick-repeatable sidemission, only the loot was "over-the-top". The reduced amount of distills is ok with me, i only pity that its only weapon and talis ones that you already get plentyful in dungeons.
 
Do the distillate shifters work on the chest? Because if they do, it's still an amazing opportunity to farm.
 
the coolest way to grind it this year for anyone thats not in game is that people are doing it solo and then posting there MUs in sanctuary and lomschat so you can meet up and loot chest no matter your level
you can go loot someone elses e17 chest
and these MUs are coming thick and fast so if you have the shards you can just go about your dailys zone in loot chest exit and just reappear back where you were and carry on until the next one
 
Yeah that's how we farmed it last year. The level does only matter if it's lower than yours, though. You will only get loot max to your current e-level, so opening a e17 chest as e3 char will give you e3 loot. And yummy cake, of course :)

yeah was informed you only get highest chest available to you yesterday
i didnt notice the MUs for chests last year alot of people running it groups of five but single kills and MUs i didnt see posted in loms or sanctuary as much
 
Last year it was less of a "channel" effort but usually groups of 2 or more people running it together. That has the advantage of the second person running the mission in the cooldown time of the first after meeting up on the first and vice versa. We used to do that for 2-3 hours. Since the loot is significantly different this year, its more of a side-farm and the broader approach makes sense.
