[POE 2] Loot Disappears On Death

Yeah this feels awful when it happens and just makes you wanna not play for a bit tbh it's happened a few times to me seeing as my damage is mostly DoT.

I die and before I can respawn at a checkpoint the boss dies to DoT and it's always good loot... I've lost a few uniques and ex's because of this.

It's just not a good mechanic.

Loot should stay, ESPECIALLY if the boss doesn't even bloody respawn unless it's a new instance lol

Doesn't make sense to me...

The same thing happened to me. I used Spark on the boss and killed him, but before he launched some "missiles" at me, I couldn't roll out of the way (was slow). The boss died, and then I died. I saw loot on the death screen, then I resurrected at the checkpoint, and the loot disappeared. (Bug ref: 3645905053)

This just happened to me today. But the quest item drop disappeared as well. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

EDIT: I wasn't clear initially. I wasn't referring to the loot, but the quest item drop.

seeing loot dropping and than dying before you can pick it up feels bad. in poe1 heist its ok, because it is a special mode, but for common leveling it feels really bad...

Totally agree...it also makes sense in breachstones for instance...you get loot if and when you complete it....For the life of me I really don't understand this. - I guess I'm too old and out of touch :(

It's not a bug, it's the way they have designed the loot system in this game...

[UPDATE] Someone from global chat recommended this to me. CTRL Click the waypoint to the map where your quest was. It will show an option to start a new instance. It will allow you to get the last item needed for the quest.

That is the way around it as I said it like 3 times in this topic. Maybe someone highlight it or something, so people can easily find it. New instance of the map revive Bosses as well. For quest items it's mandatory.

We will see If it's actually a bug or something intended, some official reply from GGG would be nice.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE tonight!!!!!!!!

Once vs Rathbreaker.
Once vs Rudja, Dread Engineer.
In that order, no bosses were done in between the ones mentioned.

BOTH times, here's exactly what went down:

- I was the last surviving party member
- Me and the boss 'trade' kills (for lack of a better term)
- Both party members visually see loot drop from the boss
- We respawn back in
- Loot is gone
- However, the body of the boss is going thru the very last parts of their death animation
- NO *traditional loot drops from the bosses

*The caveat here is that after a short voice line from an NPC trapped by Rudja, we both got an uncut Lvl.6 Gem to drop


TLDR
When you spend hours going thru dungeons, story dialogue, and finally big boss fight attempts with friends to be met with, "This isn't the loot you're looking for. Move along!"... I've never been so close to uninstalling this game.

Hours, wasted.

Edit: spellcheck

I just killed the boss on Cruel in the Titan Grotto and died to the adds that appeared while the boss was dying. Lost all the loot. Who thought this was a good idea?

I can accept losing the loot if I die while mapping but to lose the boss loot as he is dying? This is the worst game design decision I've ever seen. And I can't even fight the boss again? At least let me fight him again to get the loot.
