[POE 2] Loot Disappears On Death

Just to add here, happened to me as well at Rathbreaker, then the ambush got me. Loot is gone. Very very disappointing. I hope this is not on purpose.

Also, the boss is dead. How can I do him again?

just happened with Geonor, quite a letdown. would even prefer to fight the boss again

it really kills all the enjoyment losing the loot you earned by defeating an enemy. i hope its a bug and will be fixed soon otherwise its a bad game design, we are playing this game for better loots and to improve our characters. if you take that away with such bogus and mind numbing decisions like this its a very very dumb decision

Tbh it feels very bad losing loot by map reset after dying. What a huge let down. Not a good decicion.

+1

+1

I was fighting the sun god guy in temple of kopec and died but killed him at the same time. 2 uniques dropped and bunch of goodies. All disappeared after respawning from checkpoint.

This is my first time playing PoE and I killed the Geonar but then his final ability killed me. I clicked restart at checkpoint as the cutscene was playing not realizing I'd lose it and all gear. I don't know what happened story wise either so I'm just really bummed. Is there a way to fight the boss again? I wish I could restart a quest.

Honestly feels really bad and killed my drive to keep playing for tonight.

+1 dropped a unique in a pack of poison snakes figured i'd pick it up later, gone when i came back from checkpoint... i hope it's a bug and not a real mechanic

This feature should be removed if it's a certain tier of item above rare to unique.

Lost my only unique drop so far, because I was excited that one dropped as I've never seen one before to die by an the enemy suicide animation, whcih I didn't know was a thing due to it being my first time fighting them as well.

Total bullshit.

I feel like this was COMPLETELY intended by GGG. No way they didn't intend for people to lose any and everything that dropped from mobs that they didn't pickup if they die. It happened to me with chaos orbs and exalts. I'll see one drop from a pack that I'm trying to kill, but get killed and go back to run to see if the currency is still there and it never is. Also the way to redo a boss is to create a new instance of the area as there are bosses that you can farm for loot. You do this by clicking on the waypoint, which brings up the map, then hover over the area you want to reset. Hold control down and click the area and it should bring up instance manager and from there you can create a new instance of that area with a killable boss.
