You arent the first person how died with blessing and losted equips/backpack, alot members of my team losted equips too, some weeks ago, one EK of my team was fighting in svargrond camp, and he died, he losted his prismatic helmet and didnt losted his backpack... (he had the bless) was not big deal because my team got it to him, but... this is happen to all players of shadowcores, and I dont think that's a bug, I think the bless of this server have a little chance to drop the equips or backpack even if u have the bless or not.
