Cancel Resurrection

Soraka · January 2023

Hello,
Please add in something to let me cancel pending resurrection in PvP. People will sit for ages and then I cannot rez anyone else and there's nothing I can do. Unless there is a way I don't know about?

someone pending a rez shouldnt stop you from rezzing someone else

if it says "pending ressurection" when you target a dead player, that means someone tried to rez them, and they are either afk or havent accepted it yet, nothing you can do about that until that rez timer expires and then waste another soul gem on them, but again this only applies to that 1 dead person and wont stop you from trying to rez someone else

if you are the dead player getting a rez then you can decline the rez but its easier to just respawn where you wanted to in the first place

no, op is right. He means that if you are ressing someone, and that person don't accept or decline, u can't ress other player until the previous one u ressed declines or accepts.

for as long as a dead player stays on pending with his ress, the player that did the ress won't be able to ress another player

in battleground no such problems, but understandable in cryodill. In pve it's also an inconvenience cuz someone afk dies, u ress him not knowing he's afk, then someone else dies and u can't ress him cuz ur first ress is pending

It does and has for a while. PvP and PvE.

i have never noticed being blocked from rezzing before due to a pending rez timer from an afk person, and i generally do try to rez everyone i see, even that dead person in a field somewhere lol

if you can only have 1 pending rez, then why does a necromancer ultimate rez up to 3 people, thats 3 rez timers from the same person, and you can be rezzing a 4th manually if needed while the ultimate rez are still pending

If you resurrect someone and they don't accept it right away and sit on it and you try to resurrect someone else you get an error that you are already attempting to revive someone using a soul gem, or something, I don't remember the exact quote. It'll let you do the full channel before informing you as well.
It is super infuriating when you are in a large scale battle and res someone who lays dead until the timer runs out because you are locked to that person and cannot help anyone else.
Edit to add: I can't find exactly how long until the timer runs out and it says they "declined" and you can resurrect again if they're just sitting there, but it's long enough to make a big difference. They can lay there the whole battle usually and tie up my res.

I think I understand why the blocker is in place, they are trying to prevent 1 player from getting an entire group into a pre-res state to all res at the same time. It forces a group to res one at a time, or a few at a time with more than one player ressing. Rather than all 11 dead team members rising all at once.

But yeah, there needs to be a way to cancel the pending for the player who is doing the ressing.

The ultimate is still limited on the players being ressed, and doesn't allow a player to coordinate an entire group ressing at the same time. Also fairly expensive.
