6-2 ghost pot still breaks without interference
I saw in the patch notes that they made it less likely for this to happen there, and yet it still broke without me even knowing where it was. Even for a player who is confident in their ghost avoidance ability, doing it on 6-2 is a nightmare.
My suggestion on fixing this is to either place the pot deep into the ushabti room or just take it out of the level.
I think I heard other people saying the ghost pot always spawns next to the door in the room, which is just a really dumb way to fix the problem (I didn't see a gem when I walked through the door, but I might've missed it from the anger I had). Oops! I hit the ufo guarding the door. Guess I'll die because I had no idea it was there. Easily avoidable now that I know that I'm not allowed to hit the average looking enemy in my way! This is seriously a load of bull.

I've only ever seen it spawn in the urn room since the update and have never seen it break since

It does only spawn in the urn room now, but the dumb part about it is that it spawns next to the door, easily destroyed by an explosion on the other side. I made it back there earlier to check if I was right.

Which is stupid. Because when there are multiple fireballs around the door i like to bomb them to be safer. But then i accidentaly spawn the ghost.

I've had it blow in that room because of aliens lingering in the little alcove and the electric balls turning on when I approach it. Putting the jar tiny bit more away from the door would solve that.

Now hear me out, this may sound crazy, insane even, but what if... WHAT IF...

The Ghost Jar didn't summon the Ghost if it broke because of reasons not related to you?
And maybe not spawn a diamond if so? Sounds crazy, right? But hey, it would solve everything!

(No, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seriously, dev, this is pretty insane. Just fix it already globally.

Like, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, just have it check for: Destroyed by player-thrown/dropped objects, destroyed by impact after being carried/thrown, destroyed by whip, destroyed by player-owned (melee/ranged) weapons, destroyed by player-owned projectiles, destroyed by player-owned bombs, destroyed by item physics caused by player interactions (explosive debris, player got flung around, etc) and if you're feeling detail-oriented; destroyed by physics due to the tile it was on having been destroyed by the player.

That's it. Stuff the player was firsthand responsible for. You're free to just half-ass it too and stick to marking projectiles and thrown/dropped items as that of the player, with other obvious things like melee strikes and direct bomb contact. And ideally make it so manslaves (AKA Hired "Helps") don't count. We don't need their careless accidental whipping also triggering it. Seen that happen enough at Vlad's.

Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix it. Please.)

I don't think the devs are ever gonna change the pot like that, so all I'm asking for is that it goes deeper into the ushabti room. :spel2cave:

just broke with me TWO TIMES TODAY.
Which is a horrible and unfair thing, because to that point, u are already very well farmed with items, did everything hard that u had to do.
I got the hard ending, now I am trying to go far in the Cosmic Ocean, but this Pot Break on 6-2.... holy f**** sh**, it is happening too often.

So this I think it is a good idea, if they put in a corner of the ushbati room would be better...
I have lost several runs because of offscreen pot break in World Six ( Neo Babylon ).
So far it is the only thing that has been really annoying me in the game.
