so after i was in a cs run and i was the last person and i read that games stay active if its been more than 5 minutes

so after i'm done i go lut and drop some stuff by the portal and few seconds later i go back with my other toon and i see NOTHING AT ALL on the floor :(

where did they go? i never had this happen to me before...granted i used to do it in my own private games.

i know stuff on the floor eventually fades away with time but NOTHING was left at all, its like i never even dropped them in the face place. i dropped 3 set items, 1 pruby, and some uniques.

i want to know what went wrong so i can avoid this in the future

recap: was in CS run, everybody left but me, several several minutes pass, went to lut, dropped stuff in lut, switch toons, went to lut, nothing was there.

Well if it was a public game. Anyone could've joined and take away your stuff.

Sorry about your loss. Remember you should allways mule in private game and if possible ask an online friend to help you with muling (if you don't have any just ask here on the forum... many nice ppl here willing to help).

Only done it once in a public game and did the same as you Stuffy. I was gone for a few seconds but i caught the little thief picking up my gear (2 of the same item). After some negotiation i managed to get one back, lesson learned. Its best to find a friend u can trust (believe it or not there are actually some folk with good sound morals that play this game) or do in private password game

It was a private game. I was in there several several minutes after the run was over so the chance of someone conveniently joining and then checking every TP to see if anything was there is incredibly unlikely.

I repeat, this was a passworded game. I would like to know why this happened. I was able to join seconds afterwards with my other character but NOTHING was there at all. NADA. Why did this happen? Surely someone's got to have an answer for me...

im affraid that someone picking your stuff is still the most reasonable explanation. Items do expire when laying on the ground, but not sooner than after 5 minutes for white items. The time prolongs for magical, rares, sets up to ~45 minutes for uniques.

Battle.net bug... sometimes stuff just disappears.
