Couch Coop - Permanent Allocation on Death

When your couch coop partner dies in maps, newly generated loot remains locked to them. Portaling to town prevents the surviving member from reentering the map, so the only solution is to immediately pause and switch to Short Allocation to prevent any new loot drops from being locked.

Is it possible to unlock the drops for all party members when the couch coop partner dies instead?

Thank you so much!

Please make it so the P1 and P2 can loot ALL loot drops, and player specific loot just goes to the inventory of the player it was assigned to.

So basically, P1 could loot all the loot. Items assigned to P1 go to P1 inventory, items assigned to P2 go to P2 inventory and unassigned items go to P1 inventory.

This is pretty much standard looting for couch coop games, and works really well, so should imo not be any different in PoE2.

Thanks!

When couch co-op is two player playing on the same account, and all loots end up in the same chest, why do we care who is the map owner? and Why only map owner can pick up map items? I feel there is a logic that I cant understand.

I’m not sure why waystones only drop for P1, but I do prefer that loot is segregated. If you don’t care about that, you can switch loot to Free-For-All in settings.

Were playing couch coop on the same account with a shared stash. What's the point of being "map owner" and having drops per player? Just let us pick up anything. Even with free4all, only the " map owner" can pick up some stuff like waystones, which makes no sense.

Agreed that the waystone issue doesn’t make sense, but it shouldn’t be hard to imagine why some people play with Permanent Allocation. My partner and I prefer to keep separate currency and drops; I don’t use her resources for my character.

If a Perfect Jeweller’s Orb drops for her, that’s hers to use.

To each their own. But at least let free4all do what the name says, be free for all.
