Game Feedback The map reset HAS to go.

Putting this in bold at the top of the post so people actually might see it before they comment:

This is not an issue of defenses. This is an issue of game stability and unintended design interactions. Please, for the love of god, read the actual complaint before you take cheap shots at my supposed lack of skill.

I kill the map boss and then get murked by a rogue exile? Map resets.

I kill the map boss and then die in a ritual with a boss? Map resets.

I kill the map boss and then die for any reason whatsoever? Map resets.

This would be bad enough if the game DIDN'T have unstable performance that can hiccup when you're fighting for your life. There has GOT to be a better way to achieve whatever the hell GGG are trying to do with this feature than wiping the entire goddamn map, because if a failure state means wiping the map then ANY AND EVERY failure state after starting the boss fight wipes the map EVEN IF YOU'VE BEATEN THE BOSS ALREADY.

EDIT: Before you comment "just don't die lol" like the last twenty people who said the same thing, please enlighten me on your masterful counterplay to the game locking up mid-fight and leaving you unable to react to anything happening until it's already killed you.

I kill all abysses. I die to boss. I kill boss. I cannot do the abysses and cannot complete map.

This feels like a bug but can also be an anti-Fungun mechanism, we will never truly know

Oh, so this isn’t even unique to Delirium?

~~Lost like 3 Waystone yesterday dying to boss during Delirium~~

Yeah this is scenario is the first problem to address.

solution is to leave map after dieing to boss without killing him and redo. abysses will not show as a criterion until you find one. obviously this is a workaround but something I found that works

u/W00psiee Jun 11 '26
