24/7 ftw

That's a cool story bro, but this isn't support, it's bug reports.

99% of "bugs" reported here aren't actual bugs. Usually just derps or lack of understanding on the OP's part.

Dude,

I really dont want this post to get off track because there are valid concerns raised with screenshots, timestamps, numbers and my IGN. But since you assume derping or lack of understanding on my part, I will assume stupidity or plain lack of IQ on your part. Now, unless you have something valid to offer in this BUG report (either proving or disproving) do myself, the community and the development team looking into this a favor and gtfo.

I assume nothing but your lack of comprehension.
You can't even work forum quotes correctly, let alone understand context or subject.

I had to log in just to tell you to stfu. Seriously man. Stop trying to hi-jack the thread. You're making yourself look even dumber with every response.

Something is probably wrong. I just killed merciless Hilllock and 0 loot is dropped. Hes not beside a wall or anything just in the middle of the beach with my minions around him.

This made me think and I actually now have a solid way to reproduce the issue (and a better understanding of what it is). It seems it all somehow has to do with the way the loot appears on the client. There will be some checking needed on GGG's side of course, but at least what I see on my screen is this:

If a unique monster (i assume it applies on rare/magic as well but not as important I suppose) dies in a corner (or basically any sort of spot with a very limited space around it) then there is no place for the loot to be 'dropped' at and as such its just not dropped. For anyone who wants to easily reproduce this, just do an Arcade map, and force one of the unique bosses there to go into the corner of the map. Kill it and observe. Most of the times you either get 2-3 items or no items at all.

The reason why summoners are finding drop issues more than the rest of the players also comes down to this. Since summons (be it zombies/skellies/spectres/totems) occupy space, if the space they take is designated as a drop spot items wont show up.

In any case, I updated the title of this thread to reflect this issue. IIR/IIQ might have issues as well but before this is resolved I dont think we can do any sort of testing on them.

There have been a lot of bug reports popping up lately regarding the same issue, so I will bump this one hoping it will get looked at.

I've faced the same problem and also made a thread: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/324921
Totally agree that something strange is going on with boss' loot.

I encounter this randomly but can't say it has had anything to do with terrain.

I know for a fact I killed the Wharf boss smack bang in the middle of an open area and it dropped 1 blue and 2 whites only.

As for rare monsters, I find they drop nothing at all more than something, but this is with nothing special in regards to IIx.
