BUG - Dead but not dead

Secchan

So a few times now I've been in a heated battle and my health has gotten really low. Suddenly all the enemies go back to their spawn points and I can't loot or anything cause I get the notification that "You can't do that while dead". But my character isn't dead. She walks around like nothing happened. Reloading doesn't work and I can't log out cause I'm apparantly dead.

I can also mention that this started to happen after the big Craglorn patch. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

EDIT: Using /stuck doesn't work either. All I'm left with here is quitting the game without logging out.

I had the same thing happen to me while fighting a harvester in Coldharbour. Dead but not dead. I ended up using <alt> + F4 and logged back in, dead for real.

That having been said, and being a NB, it was a refreshing change to only be mostly dead. Now If i could trade one of the useless NPCs for a Miracle Max, i'd be set.

You wasn't helping the vampire lady perform her rituals by any chance? I had the same thing last night. Same place, fighting the same monster.

I had this same issue in Coldharbour. My character was a NB. It happened a few times, especially when going up against Harvesters. It sounds like you are having the exact same issue as I did in the exact same spot.

I don't know if this is related, but a couple of times I was killed fell over dead, and then got straight back up as if nothing had happened.

Same thing happened to me last night.
Died in combat.
I can walk around but can't activate any spells or 'E' anything.
The screen colour is all that faded thingy like you when you are dead, so yeah I sort of figured I was dead.

Logged back in and I was really dead. Use Gem or Respawn at Shrine.

I had just entered The Chasm in Coldharbour and was going to close the portals by first defeating the Daedra coming out of them. I didn't get the faded screen like when you're dead. Didn't even become a spirit like when you died and had just revived. Didn't get the dead screen at all. After I log back in after having force quitted the game I get the dead screen and can revive my char, but when I died again after that the same thing happened. If I'm going to have to force quit after every time I die, then I can't play on my main

Could mention that my main is a NB too.

ZOS, if you need to repeat this it happened to me everytime from one boss. It was a boss in Shada's tear (iirc) that runs to an anvill and starts an aoe that will wipe your group if you don't kill the fire sparks in time. Every time that aoe hit the boss would reset, my stats would regain but I was in fact dead. The group members would appear dead, and laying down but each player saw themselves alive and standing.

I have also seen it happen to players dieing from other players in PvP (no npc involvement against the person who died)

*Also there is no death recap. There is no indication you are dead at all other than the fact that you cannot interact with the world of the living.

EQBallzz

This just happened to me as well. Just as described above.

OzRottie

Having the same problem. In the heat of battle and my character's life is nearly gone.
I cannot use weapons or pick anything up. if I try to fight I am told that I can't do that because I'm dead

After I quit and log back on I am presented with the revive screen.

Happened to me too a couple of days ago, I believe it was in Doomscrag in Rivenspire(and I'm a sorc, not NB so don't suppose it's class related:P). Was...very amusing to see, actually. My Clannfear despawned, enemies ran back but I could still walk around...just not do anything else because "can't do that while dead". Most amusing, really. Relog helped.

That's what I was doing! Its the Harvest Heart quest in CH, also I too have a NB.

This has happened to me occasionally, in all sorts of place so I don't think it is specific to one location or quest.

The only solution that seems to work is a full relog.

Arsenic_Touch

Its a latency issue that was introduced in the craglorn patch. There's really nothing you can do but log in and out(close the game if you can't log out) Basically you died but the server hiccuped so you still appear alive on your end while the server thinks you're dead, it usually happens when you have a regen or heal going when you die. Some bosses make it happen more than others, but it can happen everywhere.
