I ran 4 ancient vaults today and 3 of them were almost completely empty, only had 1 or 2 goblins in only 1 room, and the other rooms are empty. My first vault was full in every room, the only difference between the first run and the other three was I was wearing the broken crown.
Normal puzzle rings open normal vaults, and Ancient puzzle rings open Anient vaults.
It sounds like 3 of your rings were not ancient, but normal.
Ancient Vaults are much darker inside, and will say Ancient Vault in the upper right of the screen. Also, it will say something like: “A Portal to an Ancient Vault has been opened” in the chat.
If it was a normal vault, the word Ancient will not appear anywhere.
All 4 were Ancient, 3 were made with the angel crucibal and one came that way. The first one that was perfect, was made with the crucibal so I know that wasn’t the issue. Also when I mean empty they didn’t even have the regular mobs in them.
Weird. You are the first to report it and it happened 3 times in a row to you.
Can you record it or take screenshots if it happens again?
Were the 3 “normal” vaults the three sanctified regular puzzle rings? If so, you have your answer.
I have been sanctifying ALL my puzzle rings, and they have ALL opened Ancient vaults.
I have probably run 30 total at this point with many coming from other players, and they have all opened Ancient vaults.
2 of the 3 were but even then they weren’t normal, they were empty of all mobs except 1 0r 2 goblins
It’s been known since the PTR that sanctified Puzzle rings open Ancient Vaults.
Yes, the game says, “A portal to the Ancient Vault has opened” but when you go inside there are only 2-3 goblins instead of the 10-12 that should be there. Out of a dozen rings that I’ve sanctified 2 of them of have done this but the rest worked as expected.
can back this up, ran a bunch of ancient vaults with friends and we had one that was really bare throughout the whole thing.
we had another that had a bunch in the first room and then nothing at all past the first door (no mobs or goblins), which was also very weird.
There is variation in the amount of goblins that spawn inside an Ancient Vault. Some Ancient Vaults are packed to the gills with goblins, while others have barely any. Yes, have noticed that phenomenon. It’s not you.
Yep! I was just replying to MircoRNA above.
