Sorry about this! I’ve moved this post to a different thread to make it easier to find.
The Chat Server is currently down for all users. My apologies for that, we’re working to bring it up as soon as we can. This is a different problem than the intermittent connection issues that players have reported on previous patches.
Could you elaborate what you mean by this? Did no items drop in the zone? Double check that you have item labels enabled by pressing the Z key. The notification for this normally displays in the chat window, so the issues could be related.
If that doesn’t help the issue, a log file would be helpful for us to look into this.
This is related to the chat server being down. Disabling chat in settings should fix that. I realize it’s very obtrusive, so my apologies for that as well.
