Generally, you should include:

Two separate issue below. Just wanted clarification or has this happen before.

Is this part of the game mechanics? I’ve had numerous times when I’ve killed a boss / I’ve died at the exact same time and a set / unique drops. Once I re spawn it goes away. This has happened on both story and Monoliths. Also, while playing single or multiplayer. Just curious if this is part of the game or not.
2)
Note: While playing multiplayer I’ve had items that drop either set or unique and I’m unable to pick them up. I do not have a loot filter either. This has happen to me and others while we are playing both end game and story campaign.

Thanks!

I don’t like to make always comparisons with Path of Exile but in that game you have a timer that auto reset a map after 15 minutes.

Exactly this:“It’s 15 minutes if the area has two or more entrances. 8 minutes if it has just one”.

So I think it would be enough to do a similar thing on Last Epoch too.
For your second issue it only happened to me once so I guess it’s a problem that happens but fortunately rarely.
But it’s not normal for that to happen anyway.
