BUG: Loot lost after kills when dying at the same time
I was vs one of the bosses in the manor in act 1 and I killed the boss but a tick damage killed me as I forgot to heal. He dropped loot but then when I re spawned the loot disappeared. This has happened twice to me. I have seen both bosses drop amazing loot on videos that help progression.

This is annoying as it means I am missing decent loot ready for the next section. Please can this be fixed? Either re spawn the boss or allow boss loot to stay after being killed.

My understanding is this isn't a bug but a feature.

This is actually intentional design. I feel they might change it but only for bosses (and/or) rare enemies in future to prevent this. Not counting on that tho.

No, this is part of the new mechanic, when you die all loot is lost.

You can respawn the boss if you redo the instance, so far as I know. Happened to me the other night and Im still pissed about it. I feel your pain

This absolutely asinine, and whomever signed off on it is an absolute moron.

This such a demotivating thing to have happen and WILL lead to rage quitting.

I swear they have a jar of stupid in their office where they randomly pull out little pieces of paper with dumb ideas to make the game “””hardcore”””.

They want you to play with friends

Kinda sucks that it is a feature for bosses. I understand the other mobs but not getting boss loot is dumb no matter what. Makes me want to restart but I will try changing instance and re-killing the boss.

Sure, it's all fun and games until it happens and then you just lay there DEAD on the floor and watch as your friend runs around grabbing loot, including yours before reviving you :steammocking:

This is always how the ARPGs I've played works. Happened to me today after I killed an elite and I saw two rare items and skill gems.

Those damn after death explosions. No use crying over spilled milk, just move on

Respawning after death puts you on an entirely new map instance as your old instance gets deleted after your death. It clearly is a feature, not a bug.

I have, to another game.

Not over just this of course, but the amalgamation of all of the not fun and demotivating design choices. Most of which are done just to make the game HaRDcOrE.

Let them try to keep a soulsborne ARPG popular...it's a bold strategy cotton...etc...

It is only penalty for dying so just do not die if you want loot

It's not a soulsbourne at all.
If they wanted to make it souls like you'd have to learn boss patterns to beat them, but everything in this game is reactable. Your dodge roll has iframes, no cooldown, no stamina requirement.
To me this is a turn my mind off while watching shows relax game.
