The above death happened in a BG. I died, respawned, and a split second later I died again, in the spawn area, only this time with no respawn timer. As you can see, I instead had the regular respawn text. Only problem was, hitting "A" or "X" did nothing. So I was stuck in this death screen until I was booted for being "inactive" and had to deal with the 20 minute penalty. Hopefully I never see this one again.

    I've taken damage when respawning before. Not completely sure, but DoTs placed on you or delayed attacks that couldn't strike before you died may hurt you if you respawn quick enough.

    For example, if a Haunting Curse is placed on you and you die 5sec later but then respawn 2sec after you die, the Haunting Curse will linger even when you respawn and deal damage.

    I guess all of the above are possible DOT tics. Maybe they all just fired upon respawn and wiped me, lol.

    Anything that can be delayed in damaging you can still deal damage if you respawn before they strike your dead body.

    So looking at a super buggy/delayed skilled like Lethal Arrow, as well as the Haunting Curse secondary delayed explosion and DoT ticks from Dawnbreaker and Vampire's Bane..... this is probably what happened tbh. Only wierd part is what looks like the initial direct damage hit of Dawnbreaker on your Death Recap, but were playing ESO so idk..... bugs like usual :/

    I've respawned with haunting curse ticking away and with Dk root/stun still active.

    I'd be shocked if they actually fix that.
