IS THIS A BUG?!	Posted by KIAEddZ#5715 on May 8, 2021, 1:22:15 AM Quote this Post
I just had this issue as well. Bosses spawned in multiple waves and I received no unique. Can we get confirmation from developers? Has this been reported as a bug?	Posted by ALEXISTHEGREAT#2609 on May 9, 2021, 4:22:27 AM Quote this Post

I have done 6 simulacrums so far (in 3.14 ultimatum), and the only simulacrum uniques I have gotten is 2 megalomaniacs. (I made sure to press alt everytime I killed a boss etc.) So I guess there may be a bug concerning the boss unique drop from simulacrums, or is this intended? (guessing you may have introduced the bug, when you moved assailum from the simulacrum drop pool?) Last league I did maybe 30+ simulacrums, and every simulacrum I would get 1 "simulacrum unique", but this doesnt seem to be guaranteed anymore. I am using the newest (22/04/2021) filterblade item filter, on strict so it shouldnt be hiding any uniques (and I am pressing alt to show all the loot, after basically every wave) edit: Gameplay wise I am playing burning arrow DOT golementalist. I die maybe 1-2 times a simulacrum, but I do kill every boss edit 2: 7th simulacrum deathless, killed bosses, no simulacrum unique drop edit 3: 8th simulacrum, died once (not on boss wave), got split personality edit 4: 9th simulacrum deathless, got megalomaniac hmm.. not sure what the pattern is here Thanks for your report, this is intended. A lot of the Unique items from the Simulacrum are now part of the core drop pool meaning that they can drop just about anywhere so long as conditions are met, as a result Simulacrums no longer guarantee a Unique drop. The 3 Unique Jewels (Voices, Megalomaniac, Split Personality) will still only drop in Simulacrums. Hope this helps.	Posted by Jatin_GGG on May 9, 2021, 6:01:24 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

Yes you can put them in the core pool if you want but doing the content they come from should still be the best way to get them. Because now this content feel like it have lost it's identity and on top of that target farming is not possible anymore which is just shit. Both for trade league or ssf because target farming really is used in both leagues. To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.

I think adding league specific items like HH to the main drop pool is fine, but please keep the the boss specific drops tied to the bosses, they just become irrelevant this way.. go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your TV, play PoE, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law ... and repeat after me: I AM FREE.

Can you please confirm that boss specific drops from shaper/elder guardians and conquerors were also added to main drop pool on purpose? Because this is quite confusing, you guys were mentioning only league specific uniques and ~~Rory on Baeclast pointed out that uniques like Pledge of Hands wouldn't be in main drop pool (though it is now).~~ You can also check this reddit post. upd. I found this https://youtu.be/PO8MJnnexnw?t=5945, Rory mentioned Guardians and Conquerors specific drops were added to the core drop pool. Seems like I missed this part when I watched it.

It was: " Many unique items that were league-specific have now also been added to the core drop pool.	Posted by taggedjc#2661 on May 11, 2021, 2:14:59 PM Quote this Post
40 Simulacrums done: Split personality - 5 drops Megalomaniac - 4 drops Voices - 2 drops (5,7 passives) Total bosses killed: 123. I'm doint all the simulacrums deathless or with 1 death. Drop rates are like 9% to get something from boss. Also since I've done ~300 simulacrums per leagues since it exists, I can tell for sure that spawn of the bosses is different. I have pretty big experience with simulacrums and can see this. Most of the times it spawns 2 bosses (35% of simulacrums.)	Posted by nikolaipka#1233 on May 11, 2021, 2:38:28 PM Quote this Post
