Died in Uber Tristram. Grabbed my corpse, went back in, got killed by mobs camping the portal. Quit, rejoined, and for some unknown reason my Thunder God’s Vigor was missing. Since I quit out and rejoined, it cleared my previous corpses and now I’m out a TGod’s. You’ve been warned.
The initial corpse grab was when you lost it.
Unless proven otherwise.
I always quit game to retrieve corpse. Perm your uber games. Ive never lost an item.

I know the initial grab was when I lost it. I’m positive I was swapped to my second weapon set which drops my strength which wouldn’t allow me to pick it up. The problem is that when I exited and re-entered the game, it cleared my previous corpse(s). I cleared out the entire board to be sure. Also had a Mal rune disappear from stash to add insult to injury 
Right. Leaving a game to grab your corpse in town is stupid and something no one ever does. I think you’re confused as to who the moron is.

A game can hold up to 16 corpses of you at any one time… upon leaving the game ONE of these corpses is saved.
i seem to remember it being based off the gold value of the items of that corpse but im not 100% sure on that.
if you leave them game with items on a multiple corpses w/e items are not on the corpse that is saved will be lost forever

You panic ran into an Uber run. First mistake. You grabbed your corpse and died right away second mistake. You left. Third mistake.
Since you’re too stupid to notice, this was an advisory post. Something players might want to keep in mind. I lost enough top-geared ladder characters over the years to the 30 day timer that a not-really rare set of pixels isn’t going to ruin my day. I’ve another TGods sitting in the stash anyway, so I think I’ll be okay.
ok i understand that the other guy is being a jerk, but in all reality, this doesn’t remotely sound like an “advisory” post.
it sounds like you are complaining that the game took you items… and people are explaining the code did what it was supposed to, and saved a single corpse when u left, you just had items left on multiple corpses, the game is told to save only 1. therefore any other items are lost forever.
i certainly hope when u say u “lost items in the past” it wasn’t also due to this method… generally people figure it out the first time.
First mistake: I don’t recall you standing over my shoulder watching. Second mistake: I totally fumbled my hotkeys on the swap to my lifetap wand, but okay Diablo pro. Third mistake: You should be charging for this next-level analysis instead of giving it away for free.
Correct. Death mechanics are all still up on the original page. The Arreat Summit - Basics: Character Information

I’m not the bad player who lost gear because they are too noob to run Ubers. I am laughing at you for being an idiot.
What 30 day timer? There was a 90 day timer to refresh your chars, not 30.
I have no idea where you read what you’re referencing in your post. Over the last ~15 years I haven’t played Diablo II, how the game sorts multiple corpses on leaving and re-entering a game had slipped my mind (and thanks to the poster above for the refresher). So yeah, it’s been figured out the first time, and maybe it prevents someone else from making the same mistake. Where in that you get that I’m griping at Blizz for a mechanic that’s been in the game for 20 years is beyond me.
Stop being a noob and you won’t lose gear. Noob. Only bad players lose gear.
this
if you die than go to get your corpse and die before that, is a bad situation from then on in the game

I got myself in a spot where Meph and a bunch of undead mages were camped on top of the portal at one point BUT! I got the torch. All that matters.
the undead mages get me off all the time, but they dont drop the torch
you may want to reword that.

Don’t strength bug if you don’t want the risk, simple as that. You’re abusing a glitch in the game to make your character more powerful and there are consequences to breaking the game or playing it in unintended ways. There’s nothing for Blizzard to “fix”
They should blame their Idols like LlamaSc for showing people how to do this and bring light to the STR glitch. That’s something I’ve never messed with because on a game like this, breaking the game has dear consequences.
