Killed Uber Ancients TWICE, and no drop.

I'm literally about to give up on the game. I spent so much time working towards this. I killed Uber Ancients twice and they didn't drop anything. I am frustrated and confused as hell. Can someone please explain what happened? I didn't die at all the first time. I just went back to Revive my Merc. The second time I did die to some Whirlwind. I had the potions for it. No gem either time. So much time gone.

Blizzard sends its regards

Threads about this bug pop up all the time, blizzard claimed to have fixed it but it's still happening.

As for what happened, there appears to be "dead zones" around the map where the jewel can fall into, that cannot be picked up, similar to how specters in Arcane Sanctuary can drop you nothing if they die off the platforms.

Known dead zones in Arreat Summit include map edges and pillars.

I remember someone on here not too long ago saying it happened to them and they killed the last ancient right by the altar too

Thank you very much for the reply. I've calmed down some. Still don't feel like playing the game anymore. I did kill the first guy by a Piller, to keep him in one place. The second was Whirlwind guy near the Edge so he would Whirlwind less. Doesn't matter. I'm done. I am not doing that again. They are worthless. I'd rather just trade for my gems.

Don’t give up. Give it one more shot. No way it happens 3 times in a row. Let me know if you need help herding the cats while you position the last one in a safe spot

It seems we need a map of the map with the safe killing spots...

Come on Blizz...

I can give you a Statue Set if you'd like to give it one last shot, but no pressure. That's just awful

Thank you, but no thank you. The reason I killed them twice was exactly as you siad. I gave it another shot. I died more, but I still did it and got nothing. I am not sure I am properly demonstrating how disappointing this was and how it has effected my view point of the game. Its not that I am still carrying it with me, its that my mind has changed. I saw it as a pinnacle of progress. A way forward to continue my collection and improve my gear. I simply don't care about it anymore. It might be a defensive mechanism. It is a only a game after all. I got online for a few minutes and did one Terror zone and just couldn't play anymore. I have no more enjoyment in it. These things happen. I do hope you guys have fun.
