Vaal temple

I cannot access rewards when doing Vaal temples in a group on console. Unsure if this is across other platforms as well but this is my experience with it. No exalted workbenches or anything.

I was a group member (not leader) and we all played from start doing the vaal nodes. When we went in only leader could activate nodes. (expected, but sad, as we all had done the pre-requisits)

However, afterwards, with myself as party lead, and a different friend (behind) i started my own vaal dungeon, and couldn't use the reward nodes to craft etc.

Additionally when i went there with nobody, i couldn't either, neither could the other party memembers, so im now hoping next time i get the new entry requirements i can.

While i understand not allowing rewards for no party leads, it would be cool if it checks if you have enough node requirements in group entry. And at a minimum if it doesn't, it shouldn't bug you out and penalise you.

I don't play in professional nerd groups, just ususally 1-3 idiots fumbling along, and its nice to just seamlessly work through content with a best mate.

Things i didn't try:
Zone reset with CTRL+click (forgot about it before i closed it), which i suspect might have helped.

Hi,


I got the same problem, I opened the Vaal temple, playing with friends, I couldn't get any rewards or access to the workbench.
Few minutes later for a Vall temple of my friend, he had no problem to access it and get the rewards.

Did some testing with a friend as he made got a temple earlier and couldn't interact with the workbenches. We made him leader, he made the instance that spawned the portal to vaal ruins (in this case freythorn), he entered the ruins first and also entered the temple instance first. That way he could finally interact with the workbenches but not me though.

having the same issue on PC both players on steam client.

temple gets made no one including the group lead can use the crafting tables when a room is completed.

I will also add to this, my son and I had this happen - he opened his map, neither he nor I could access the rewards and he ended up losing a bunch of rooms without any rewards.

I would suggest adding a feature that each member of the party could open their own instances and run them once a temple is open. Or that the terminal picks the map of the person who says "open temple" and we run that person's, or better yet, that we can each run ours once together.

This is proving to be a punishing and bad feel mechanic when running as a group.

Edit: On PC, standalone client for us both.
