[ Bug ] Elder Rifts with Daedessa's Blessing not giving Blessed Chests

Bug Report
1

The Immortals on our server cluster just completed a Kion’s III raid around 15 minutes ago. This caused the Immortals to gain Daedessa’s Blessing for 2 days. This means that the first three Elder Rifts run with this active should generate a Blessed Chest, containing keys for Iben Fahd’s Sanctum.

Screenshot showing that Daedessa’s Blessing is active, with 2 days remaining…

Screenshot showing the Elder Rift portal, showing Daedessa’s Blessing is active, and that I’ve received 0/3 of the Blessed Chests…

However, after completing the Elder Rifts I am not receiving Blessed Chests.

There is no announcement at the completion advising a chest has been granted, and no chest is placed into Tab 3 of my Inventory. I’m just not getting the chests I should be.

Ran another Elder Rift, right after making this thread, and got a Blessed Chest so the issue is apparent, but also intermittent, it seems.

-=[ EDIT 2 - October 15th ]=-

Yesterday, we ran four Kion IV raids, giving the Immortals two more days of Daedessa’s Blessing. When I ran Elder Rifts this morning, the first two granted Blessed Chests, the third did not, so I ran a fourth, which did.

I’m back to being an Immortal again, and this bug is still apparent, i.e. the Immortals have Daedessa’s Blessing active (we’re running 5 Kion’s per day at this point, with each refreshing the 3-day-long buff) and I’m still not reliably getting the blessed chest from running an Elder Rift…

It’s actually not a bug.
Iirc it only raises your chance to get a blessed chest.
You can also get them, if your faction doesn’t have Daedessa’s blessing.

Someone once told me that with the blessing the chance to get a chest is 90%, without only around 10%.

No clue if Blizzard/Netease ever confirmed that somewhere, but checked out for me so far.
I run most of my weekly Rifts on 2 days, and usually always get 3 chests in total no matter which faction i belong to.
Sometimes after 10 runs the first, sometimes on the first run.

So I’d say no bug, especially since the explanation states “can earn” which leaves room for lots of interpretation/speculation on how it is intended to work, even so the “additional” kinda contradicts that again.

Hope one day some people will fully figure it out or Blizzard actually gives an answer.

Okay, let’s just assume that were true for now. Look at the history of my runs. There are lots of day where I’ve had to do six runs to get my 3 chests. If the chance for a chest (with the blessing) is 90% then…

Number of events: 6
Probability of success per event: 90%
Number of successes: 3
Probability of 3 successes: 1.458%
Mean number of successes: 5.4
Variance: 0.54
Standard deviation: 0.7348

As calculated by https://www.omnicalculator.com/statistics/binomial-distribution?c=GBP&v=type:0,n:6,probability:90!perc,r:3

1.458% is roughly equivalent to an average of 1 in 68 runs. I’ve had this result multiple days in a row. The chances of (1/68)^X become laughably small for even low numbers of X. For example, three days in a row gives (1/68)^3 = 1/314432.

It’s broken.

So, this morning, I’ve just done 15 Elder Rifts with Daedessa’s Blessing active.
I had obtained 2 Blessed Chests. I gave up trying for the 3rd one.

Number of events: 15
Probability of success per event: 90%
Number of successes: 2
Probability of 2 successes: 0.0000000008505%
Mean number of successes: 13.5
Variance: 1.35
Standard deviation: 1.162

As calculated by https://www.omnicalculator.com/statistics/binomial-distribution?v=type:0,n:15,probability:90!perc,r:2

0.0000000008505% is roughly equivalent to an average of 1 in 1,175,778,953 runs.

So, either I got a 1 in 1.1 billion chance this morning or, you know, it’s broken.
