Boss drops permanently gone - poe2

Same. Happened in act 3 when seeing the 3 headed red orbs for the first time. It is pain.
Just killed Count Geonor, died right as I killed him. No loot dropped even after the hooded one showed up. Respawned and area is empty. No loot for me I guess
I just killed the last boss of act 3, and died.
Lost loots yes, but also lost all the storyline about killing the last boss.

Now I just have to move on to cruel difficulty, with no resolution what so ever of the storyline.

It feels like all the campaign was useless now.

I don't even know how this mechanic was thought as a good idea. Just change it if you want people to enjoy your game and stick around...
"

However if you kill the boss, see all the loot and then have the misfortune to die instantly because of some debuff/envvironment


You got lucky.

I got killed by bosses, who were already dead.
Literally kept casting and casting until I am no more...
I'm fine losing the loot if I die shortly after the boss kills... just respawn the boss for us to roll the dice again and kill it cleanly :D
This just happened to me on the Act 3 Viper boss. I smoked her pretty easily with my stormweave build and then turned away from my pc just to look back and I'm boxed in and dead! I respawn and the only thing on the ground is a gem, all that good loot gone, this is pure crap and they better change it. You should be able to be killed after defeating a boss, the devs better change this.
The only problem here is people missing out on storyline. All that loot was probably crap and you can just find more anyway, although you won't by sitting here posting.
This just happened to me with olroth, beam came out after he died and instantly killed me, all loot and the atlas points lost. I really struggle to see a reason for the 1 death per map. Especially when GGG is hell bent on making things kill you after combat ends.

Just happened to me, too, after Count Geonor.
While this is annoying, I wonder if this could also happen for some special quest loot that would give you a permanent buff / skill points etc, which you then would never be able to recover?
Happened to me in act one against wolf boss in manor. Kinda frustrating, not gonna lie.

Don't even remember when lot was dropped but it still was insanely unsatisfying.
