Can you fix the Malachai's organ bug for the love of ...

Quest: Corpus Malachus
Objective: Find Malachai's three organs
Location: The Harvest Act 4

If you kill the three dudes, get the three items, leave for town, with the three items in your inventory without entering the black core and the instance resets, your items are removed from your inventory (???) and you have to do the quest again.

This behaviour is not repeated anywhere else in the game.

It has been reported several times on here, as it has been in the game since act 4 came, like 15 years ago. Can you put one of your item database programmers on this for 5 minutes, once.

It's not a bug, you intentionally have to kill the 3 bosses and get their parts and kill malachai in the same instance. They are used as key items and progress is tracked within the instance itself. They are not quest items you keep and track between areas.

I understand your argument. But you can bring them out of the instance in your inventory. They disappear when you return.

With Dialla (?) and Kaom's and Daresso's items, and pretty much every other similar quest you can keep the items and leave and it works just fine, as with Siosa and a bunch of other NPCs in instances. So it is certainly not difficult to fix.

And it is certainly not intentional that quest items disappear in your inventory at the point of returning to the area, it is also not explained anywhere that if you leave these bosses will respawn, it goes against how everything else works and it is highly counter-intuitive, since as long as you turn them in by talking to the NPC next to the waypoint, the quest progresses.

its not a bug.

its in the game like that since 2015 and your thread wont change it either.

yeah it is annoying if you have to interrupt your game and do it again, but its not like this takes 20 minutes.

killing the 3 bosses + malachai shouldnt take longer than 10 minutes on a SUPERSLOW build.

if you are not ready to do the act 4 ending in one go now, try it later.

I have 6k hours in this game. I played PoE before Act 4 existed.

It can absolutely take that long in R HC SSF on a onelink with a defensive build, which is what happened here.

But it's beside the point. I do not think it is intended. It doesn't work the way other quests work, and it is counter-intuitive which is a goal to strive for in itself in game dev.

People saying "stop asking for change because it is this way now and that is my argument", stop replying to me. [Removed by Support]

Lol, that's not what anyone is saying though.

You're arbitrarily declaring something a bug or unintended, when it's clearly not.

You being frustrated that people don't immediately agree with you doesn't mean that everyone else are just not able to see or consider anything clearly and you have to resort to personal insults.

Then you probably know that:

Isn't true, they respawn on you making a new instance. Just like every other extra or side boss in the game.

Sometimes... maybe it's just you.
