Party Play: Items aren't allocated. BIG SHIT

E.g. Friend and I kill a nearby monster (visible on both screens) and items dropped are pickable by both of us, tho we play on permanent allocation all the time.
That happens way too often now (patch 3.2)!

Of course that shit always happened in the history of PoE. And on an offscreen-kill it occured 100% of the time...
But now (patch 3.2) something must be broken. The max distance of our characters is like half a screen most of the time.
We kill a monster that we can see both on our screens but the items dropped aren't allocated at all. Feels like the game is skipping loot allocation at some point...

I have played very often in parties last time in Harbinger league and everything seemed "fine" (as usual) then.

I hope GGG will take this issue seriously. :/

Party play is already fucked by lag builds etc... Now this...

EDIT:

Seems like others are also reporting this, just searched for allocation here:

today it happened, one exalted orb dropped for both of us :(

feels like party play is no priority for you guys.

I've reported this issue about a week ago as well. It seems a lot more common place with builds that kill mobs off screen.

this patch fucked many things.

If you play in a party and someone who is set to use a different Allocation setting creates a new instance of a Zone, than that Instance will adopt that players Allocation setting (not the Party host's setting).

Basically the game uses the allocation setting of whoever creates a Instance. It doesn't always use the Party creator's setting.

To check the current allocation setting for a Zone check the text in the top right corner when viewing the full map.

I think the party allocation is set by the party leader and it doesn't matter who makes an instance after the party is created (obviously instances made before the party was joined stay what the instance maker is set to). The issue reported I think is killing too far away from a player drops unallocated loot. Which has always been a problem for some.
