Well the Subject basically explains everything... Sometimes when I open up a heart or treasure box, nothing drops... Anyone else experiencing this?
Heart and Treasure Boxes Sometimes Drops Nothing

I'm sick and tired of making runs where 2 or even more boxes don't drop even coins. And there are brief seconds where i can see the loot, heat, coins mats, and when i try to reach it it's vaporized.
We need this fixed as well the black kat spawn rate!
Or extend this "event" for another week.
I posted this in another thread, but this one has a better title, so I'm reposting here. :p
I've had this happen to me, as well. I'm pretty sure they changed it in the last update so that vitapods that are equal to or worse than the one you have are either invisible or they just don't drop. So, if you have a +12 vitapod, and you break a treasure or heart box that would drop another +12 (or less) vitapod, it appears to drop nothing instead.
The reasons I think this is the case are:
1) I never see a vitapod drop anymore that is equal to or less than the one I have equipped (sometimes one will drop, and then another before I pick up the first one, but never once I already have one equipped).
2) I only see "empty" treasure/heart boxes when I have a vitapod equipped.
3) It makes sense that they would want to stop vitapods from dropping that are inferior to the one you already have, since you can't share them with party members anymore. (Especially given the latest patch where they increased the drop rate of vitapods. All those extra vitapods laying around would get messy.)
I'm not sure if it's a bug, a poorly implemented change, or a bad design decision.
