With any new DLC, especially the first season comes landmines; and this could be a big one.
During my offline testing of the Colossal Ancients, during one of my final kills, close to the edge, POOF, the jewel never dropped. (WTF)...
Then, and confirmed in the D2R Clone Hunters Discord cc: @ShadowHeart someone else had this happen to them.
And then FINALLY, Pavke who was separately testing offline, also had this happen to him...
So what do we think is happening? Well, this seems to be a potential tile void issue not to dissimilar to killing Ghosts in Arcane and losing potential high runes.
The problem? It is highly inconsistent and hard to pinpoint. What I do know, is as long as you were in the center or away from objects/edges, it seemed to drop more consistently.
But given that we do not have enough information yet, I wanted to bring exposure to this at a minimum.
Happy hunting.

Can be used to make Runewords:
Yes, this issue definitely needs a light shined upon it until Blizzard fixes it. Going through the collection of all the statues, summoning & fighting the Colossal Ancients (which can be quite hard for some builds, depending on how well geared you are), only for the guaranteed drop to poof into the Void because the final ancient died in the wrong spot is just... unacceptable.

Seems like the same old "item drops outside of solid floor" issue that's been around in CS and AS for ages. Same thing also happens in Abaddon and similar.
Although the pillar also blocking it seems new. Can't recall seeing that as an issue anywhere else before.
Either way, worth bringing to people's attention as this'd be a far more expensive hit than missing some random TP scroll in AS.

Well, it also could have been a Jah - especially with Wraiths and other flying blunder. But we´ll never know...Schnorki wrote: 1 hour agoEither way, worth bringing to people's attention as this'd be a far more expensive hit than missing some random TP scroll in AS.
Concerning the current issue: Since I am not in need of those nice Jewels I think I keep my statues until this is resolved. @War The Wise Thanks for sharing the info!
After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)
