PvP Stupidity - Respawn

JessieColt

Okay, what decided that the Map isn't available when you die in a cave in Cryodill?

Trying to get Skyshards.
Enter Quickwater Cave.
Die by other player
You will automatically respawn in 10 minutes. E to respawn now.

E shows you the map of the cave. No ability to respawn anywhere. You are forced to wait out the stupid respawn timer.

Seriously?

I have filed a bug report.

Now, after the 2nd death, I am just totally ***, and have ZERO interest in trying to get any of the shards in Cyrodill.

So my question stands, and I have another.

What at Zenimax decided that respawning is not permitted if you die in a cave?

And the other question, what at Zenimax decided that Skyshards have any place in a PvP environment where they are effectively locked away from, and unavailable to, those who do not PvP?

Never write a thread in anger, thats when you clearly lose your rational ability to think clearly. Calling someone an idiot 3 times is going to fix the issue?

I don't care if they fix the issue. As I said in my post, at this point, I am just pissed at this stupidity and no longer interested in trying to get any of the Skyshards in Cyrodill.

I am here venting because I am stuck waiting on the idiotic mechanic that was built into the game.

Click the map filters, go to cyrodiil and select a spawn location?

That is just it, it doesn't work.

When you die in Quickwater Cave, you are stuck with the Quickwater Cave map, you cannot zoom out in any way, shape, or form, to get to the main Cyrodill Map to pick a Respawn location. So you are stuck with the 10 Minute automatic respawn timer.

And unlike PvE caves, there is no way to respawn back at the start of the cave, so if you are chasing a Skyshard that is buried deep in the cave, you are SOL, because the only place that you are automatically respawned is back at your home "base" wayshrine.

As EBP at least I am relatively close to the cave, but if this is happening to everyone, across all pacts, imagine working your way all the way across the map, to the cave, only to be killed, and force spawned back at your home base, where it will now take another 30 plus minutes to try to work your way back across the entire map in the hopes that you will not be killed again.

All so you can try to get a Skyshard, and the associated achievement for getting the skyshard.

PvE conent does not belong in a PvP environment, when that PvE content becomes effectively locked away from players who do not participate in PvP content, and have no interest in doing so.

Games should not force PvE players to engage in PvP content in order to complete PvE content.

The PVE content in cyrodiil is optional
