[POE 2] Loot Disappears On Death

I was fighting the Rust King boss and I lagged and he killed me, but he then died from a dot i had on him.

I saw a lot of loot drop but when I got back to the spot all the loot was gone.

I assume it despawned on death since it was nowhere to be found, the quest item persisted though.

Had the same problem on several (mini)bosses.
Got killed by them but a projectile of mine was still in the air or a dot was still applied. They died before i respawned. Afterwards the boss was dead with no loot (or only some loot) on the ground left. The rest disappeared. Can provide video if needed.

Happened to me for the following bosses:

Lachlann of Endless Lament
Dropped gold, 3 blues, 2 Uncut Skill Gems, Orb of Transmutation, Count Lachlann's Ring
After respawn there was 1 Uncut Skill Gem und 2x Count Lachlann's Ring

Crop Cirlce in Ogham Farmlands
Dropped Gold, 1 white, 1 blue
After respawn the quest on the map was not finished, loot was gone and the encounter didn't trigger again.

The Executioner
Dropped Gold, Orb of Transmutation, Uncut Support Gem
After respawn there was 1 Uncut Support Gem on the ground.

It seems like the skill gems have some sort of property that lets them persist.
Hey !

I just got the same problem, the Boss of Rust is dead but the loot disappeared and the quest is still on to collect the rune of power.

What can I do ?
I also had the same problem. Killed the Boss of Rust after I had died due to a DoT on boss, and all the loot (including the quest item), disappeared right after. i can no longer progress the quest anymore.
Same problem as the person above me. I killed the boss (First one Act 2), but the boss dotted me. Goodbye to my legendary loot. I'm lucky, the quest did progress because there was nothing required to loot on him, but the loot is gone.

The same thing happens with mobs sometimes. Occasionally, a golden or blue mob kills me (it happens). When I run back to it, it’s not there anymore.

I’m not sure if this is intended or not, but hey, I do like to finish off my mobs properly, even if I misplay at some point ; Even if they respawn with full health, that’s fine to some extent.

Having this happen a few times now. You get the kill, see the loot, die, then respawn at check point. The point of interest mob (rare, unique, or boss) is dead, but no loot is left behind.

Feels very bad. Really kills the experience to see several uniques off different fights vanish.
Just echoing what others have said.

Really feels like a lose more situation. If I'm already having trouble on a boss, the last thing I need is less loot/chance for upgrades for the next one.

It feels really bad when it is better to purposefully die early to reset the entire encounter than chance losing loot like this by fighting it out.
+1

Happened twice to me so far - boss died from fire damage after I did, respawned to no boss and no loot.
Same here. Boss encounter early on. Feels really awful to kill a boss, realize you have a dot, die and all the loot is gone.
I think its also a shitty game design that monsters you have killed respawn when you die and res at checkpoint. In no world does this make sense.
