Sand, Sand Everywhere! bug

Had all seven Spatial Openers in my bag. Started looting the sand piles. My bags filled up so had to close the sandpile pull out my guild herald to sell items to make space. Opened up the same pile and it used another spatial opener. Now I cannot complete the achievement.

Had the same happen to me yesterday. A spatial opener got used and I did not credit for one of the sand piles, so now the achievement is unable to be completed and I’m stuck at 6/7.

I opened a ticket and got a response back that the devs are aware of the issue, but there currently isn’t a workaround. I suppose they’ll fix it at some point.

I got the same response. I had plenty of space in my bags and one of them bugged out using a Spatial opener and not giving me loot or credit. Re-logging got the sand pile to re-appear but that’s about it. Can Blizzard not send out an extra Spatial Opener(s) in the mail so players can attempt to re-loot the sand?

same here. Im missing one spatial openers. i think i try to open the same sand piles because my bag was full then I lose one of them.

Same. 3 tickets and Blizzard did nothing.

Had the same issue here as well. Submitted a ticket and got the same response as above. Glad to see I’m not the only one but its unfortunate that we cannot get the achievement until this somehow gets resolved…

Same exact thing happened to me, guild herald and all. Ticket is in, no response yet. Hopefully they fix this. Every other container in the game remains unlocked if you don’t fully loot it. This is ridiculous

Really upsetting. Having the same issue here.

jumping on this had same issue yesterday and ticket said to send in a bug report. Hopefully they fix it soon

Having the same issue. Items from sand piles filled my bags. Stopped to sell, then reopened a sand pile to finish looting and it took another Opener from me. Can’t loot the last pile now. :frowning:

Same here. I was not able to obtain all the loot in a sand pile and end up having to clear my inventory, and I click on the sand pile again it used another spatial opener which I cannot reobtain so im stuck. Are there any ways to refund the opener to my character?

Still nothing. I don’t understand why this but is just being ignored.

It’s being ignored probably because there are so many other broken bugged things in the game right now in the new area that they’ve yet to fix like the status bar panel vanishing after doing puzzle caches, or the chest icons vanishing off the map when someone loots them, or that horrible mouse cursor bug that I and many other people are having.

Seems like they fix one thing and break 4 other things. Oh and they are aware of it they just aren’t doing any resolutions to fix it in the short term so everyone is getting screwed in the long term.

Adding my name to the list of people screwed out of this achievement, and whatever loot is in that last pile of sand. Got a reply from a GM, which said the same thing everyone else has gotten, “sorry, can’t help you”. How hard is it to send us all one more Spatial Opener?? Not like we can use it on anything else!

Funny part the characters people are submitting tickets for this bug about could be checked. All they’d have to do look at the person’s ZM treasure achievement and check that they have looted the 7 treasures that grant a spatial opener and then see if they have Sand, Sand Everywhere.

After that they have verifiable proof that we earned all 7 and that we didn’t get the achievement for opening all 7 so they can tell if we are just trying to cheat to get the key early (I’m looking at your crappy drop rate Domination Key for Domination Cache) without having earned it previously. And for the love of god they could just put in some simple code that registers that you already unlocked so and so pile previously so for the people with full inventories in the future don’t get screwed by this bug too and have it eat a spatial opener.

Or, I don’t know, make something in game that if you earned the Treasure Achievement for ZM for collecting all of them on one character you can buy extra keys on that character since they are only used for those 7 sand piles and would be useless after that point if you bought extras.

Wow, what a novel concept, putting a fail safe or back up plan in a game when your coders keep getting things wrong so that it cancels the issue.

But guess we’re just lowly patrons who pay this company a subscription fee to play their game and we have to accept all the bugs because they can’t be bothered to fix them or hell, even openly acknowledge them.

Sorry for all the sarcasm but just getting fed up with this company repeatedly breaking stuff this whole expansion and some of it easily preventable by just putting in stupid little easy things for “just in case” scenarios.

Spatial Openers now available from Cypher vendor. Costs us 200 cyphers to fix their issue but at least we can get it done. Annoying but over.

Being lazy to have enough bag sots is blizzards fault…mmmmmmmkayyyyy

I had plenty of bag slots when I went to loot one. One pile just said no loot, vanished, then gave me no progress and ate my Spatial Opener. THAT is Blizzard’s fault as it shouldn’t happen to begin with. Yes, people should have made sure they had enough slots before looting the sand piles but the sand piles also shouldn’t have consumed another Spatial Opener when they had to click on them a second time. They’ve shown in the past they can have a lootable object unlock and not require another key but the they just slap-dashed this whole thing.

Not for me it isn’t. The vendor doesn’t have spatial openers for me.
