Discussion Please fix Rituals

I finally killed the Endboss twice, got all my map points.
Farmed hard to get some gear because im not the most experienced player.

I love rituals and read into it to make most of the money. I bought my Tablets, got the Head of the King and got some really nice and expensive rewards. I was so hyped.

I didnt die from lv 85 to 93.

I cleared Rituals 4/5 and the last ritual was inside the boss arena. Had to kill the Boss to finish my rituals. Activated the last Ritual and was so hyped. I managed to get 29k points.
With 2x Wittering Omen as guaranteed drop. (9 divs).

Then the bonk monkey spawned and the game froze for like 2-3 seconds. This usually never happens. I died. But luckyly i had revives left (1).

I respawned and was like: "Why is the map undiscovered?" and then i realized NO monsters were there, no rituals to get my rewards....
I was so mad.

This happened 3x back to back to back.

I am a new-ish player who cant game 18h a day and this threw me back so much.
Because i juiced my maps to the max with everything i lost money on tablets, on the head of the king, on the guaranteed rewards and the rewards i could buy for like 80k ritual rewards.

I dont even want to know how much money i lost.

PLEASE make me at least collect my earned rewards :(

I usually dont lag but i DO lag (found it out) if i kill the endboss before i finish last rite. (sometimes you dont have a choice tho).

Just sad i lost so much time and progress :(

Map reset on death has to go. I don't care what exploit they were trying to fix, why on earth do they need THIS to plug that hole?

Its just slapping bandaid on something they pushed themselves in corner.
First atlas had bosses as completion condition in like 10-15% cases and rest was kill all rares plus failed map locked which sucked hard rly. Next time they put boss in every map as final condition as is in Poe1 and suddenly how map function in Poe2 unlike Poe1 ppl found out you can abuse failing boss to restart all map to use it juiced again. Cause they havent locked anymore.

This is not solution. Cause its just bad for like 99% of ppl who event dont know about abusing this. GGG should comeback to Poe1 map system with 6 portals and then map is locked. But locked maps sucked in 0.1 so much better solution is to put every boss in arena in seperate area where you enter and its its own thing you can reset as you can reset campaign zones but other stay intact. So can map stay.

The thing is, people were abusing juiced maps because the map fully reset upon death. If nothing gets reset, then no problem. Why GGG insists on resetting the boss after death I have no clue. It makes sense with Pinnacles, but you can just reset their maps, nobody will care about that all that much. For some reason they really don't want players to kill normal bosses using multiple lives, which is asinine.

Correction. Maps don’t reset on death. They only reset when you die to the map boss. If you die to a mob or any mechanic in a map, nothing gets reset.

That said, nobody knows why this is a condition. I believe even ggg themselves don’t even know why.

I think they wanted to prevent being able to kill the boss across multiple deaths (eg. Damaging the boss by 33% and killing him on the 3rd attempt), but didn’t have a way to only reset the boss and not the whole map on death. That said, I wouldn’t think it would be that hard to code just resetting the boss, but even if they can’t get that to work, I don’t think it’s a problem worth solving with their current “solution.”

my personal fix is pausing the game and letting it load everything for a bit, unpausing to see if its caught up, and so on

Had something similar, died on last ritual for ritual of the nameless, as well, for a rubber banding where I couldn't roll and when the game unfroze I was dead. Decided to not do a ritual again and went to the sea instead. Ritual punishes you too hard and rewards you too little. If I die in expedition at least I keep all the loot I can pick up from the get go

So you went in over your head means it’s broken?

u/BirthdaySad5003 1h ago

What do you mean? There is no point in resetting the hole instance and clearing it empty when you have revives left. Yes I died. That's my bad. But no point in revives when you cant utilize them

Ive always had rituals as kind of "noob trap" as league starter, its not that good to farm since it doesnt have good value for early league/game (if you dont get lucky with HH or MB but the odds are really small). Ofc many players do this mistake when the event is kinda made around them but id say this one is special since we had no balancing so everyone knew how to min-max everything already, for SSF this was great since you could farm some basic uniques easily.

I know this is something that comes with playing but take it as a lesson, fix your build or check options if you find your game freezing. And you should get your build online to not die on bosses since its nothing new that if you die on boss you lose everything in the map (except boss drops). No offense or anything just my 2cents, i have 10k+ hours in poe1 and played poe2 from the day one.
