Act 3 outdoor boss Silverfist checkpoint bug?

Not sure if this is a bug or intended. If intended it sucks, a lot. When I died the first time from silverfist who unceremoniously ambushed me while I was going through some loot (rat bastard) I did not respawn at the checkpoint that was near the boss, instead I respawned at the checkpoint clear on the other side of the map and had to then clear the entire map again to get back to the boss spot, this actually happened to me twice and to say I was annoyed would be putting it nicely (I didn't break anything but pretty sure my neighbors thought I was murdering someone in the house).

Also when first entering the Act 3 zone there is a stash box that will not accept items, instead of putting items in the stash it drops them on the ground so in effect I had to run around in the first area with only half my inventory available as I had items I wanted to stash but could not. This was also an issue when I did the first ascendency trial in Act 2.

Still love the game though, keep up the great work.
