Runelocked Chest Broken

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Trying to do the Runelocked Chest, destroy 20 orange runes.

For some reason it will only count for the quest if I destroy 4+runes at the same time. Then, if I manage that, it counts as 1/20 for quest completion. This is actually worst than it was before with the 5 in a row :confused:

Update: So it seems to count any runes that are above the base 3 match. So if you match 4 it counts as +1 to quest completion. Match 5 counts as +2, etc


Update 2: The above of course only counts if you match vertically or horizontally. Matching in a T or L shape seems to invalidate it.

With this, Bliz is basically saying “You people thought matching 5 in a row was too hard? Watch this!” and Leeroy Jenkin’d it. Thanks Bliz for listen to your players.

Same issue

what do u need to do to move them it seems random which ones work

I was frustrated by the lack of progress, Googled and found this comment. I happened to have time so just settled in to try to get to 20 4+ run combos. It was as the OP said for the first 8 or so 
 one for a 4-rune match and two for a 5-run match. Then it seemed to accelerate somehow. I got from 8 to 20 in under a minute. Still not sure how though. I don’t think I had that many orange combos of any size in that span. It was if ANY combo of any color or any size started counting. Only one data point so I can’t say what’s really going on, but that was my experience just now.

Same here. Beta game.

Confirmed, same issue. Currently, only counts 4+ as a single match. Meaning, to get all 20, you would need to match 20 sets of 4 or more.

edit: as a user pointed out above, my post isn’t entirely correct. After about 8 - 10 manual matches of 4, it speeds up and counts all subsequent matches appropriately.

Yep. This quest is broken as all get out.

Having the same issue however my wife is not. She is on a Mac, I’m on a PC.

Same issue here.

I spent about half an hour trying to do it.

had to log out than back in to exit.

Could at least a exit button be put with this broken thing?

I feel this cannot be intended, they made it harder/longer to complete.

You get a buff when playing the game. I forget what it’s called but you can right click it off to exit.

I spent several minutes trying to match up 4 or 5 oranges in a vertical or horizontal line but once I hit about 5 or 6, all matches went to my quest count, it didn’t matter what color.

As of US morning 6/28 it looks like this was hotfixed!

Well they fixed the first problem, now there is a new problem, im stuck in the quest unable to leave because literally no more matches can be made

Being in the game is a removable buff called Arcane Runelock that looks like an arcane rune. (Unironically.)

Clear that buff and you’re out of the game.
