Empty Strongbox

I opened a white Gemcutter's strongbox in Cruel Scepter of God on my way to Dominus, and the monsters popped out like normal, killed all of them, and then the box didn't contain a thing. Not one item.

I've had boxes open with only a couple items, which is somewhat disappointed, but what do you expect from a regular box, but absolutely nothing but the xp to show for my trouble? Sucked.

I can beat that. I've opened strongboxes and had no enemies pop out and no items.

Well, sometimes those chests just have nothing in them... It's a cruel world, exile. Not everyone leaves their shit out in the open.

Back to seriousness... Yeah, I've had similar issues. I haven't had no enemies pop out yet, though. Instead, half of my boxes now have every enemy stacked on top of each other. This ranges from annoying as hell on my SA archer to instagib for my pulser.

Opened a yellow strongbox in normal it had a mod on it something like +1500% item quality. kill the monsters. nothing but blue and white items.

this is, imo, to teach players that IIR has diminishing returns

there's not a ton of difference between 400 IIR and 4000 IIR.

IIR aside, I've seen boxes with the "contains 3 additional rare items" mod and not gotten any rares out of it.

That, I'm sure is a bug.

No, a dev stated the issue with this is, the boxes have NO quality mods added to them, so its like killing a normal white mob, and even with 1500 quality, on a white normal mob, your only going to get at best some blue and maybe a rare or 2 if lucky.
