I am dead before my death occur.

Yakidafi · May 2015

Okey, so around 2 weeks ago I have been getting strange occurences. If I remember correctly this happend when the game was new also, but I also remember them fixing it?

Here it is, sometimes when I get low hp, though it has happend when I had 47%(around 9k hp) hp aswell, I lose all my magicka and stamina resources even though I had almost full or half. Longest time I have been able to survive like this is around 7 seconds, before my opponent kill me with a blow. Most of the times I do not get any regen what so ever, but got that a few times and managed to pop a rally to heal but alas it does not help very long

First I figured it were because the server recognized me as dead before it happend on my screen, but I am able to use skills and run so I can not be dead, dead.

happends near zergs(lag) aswell as in duels(less lag). After alot of repeating moments of this I thought about posting it here, since I have not seen a post about it.

Does this happend to you often aswell?

It happens sometimes yes. I see danger, try to block but my stamina get drained to empty, and then a sec later I die. .. If this is somehow the same as your experience if I understand you correct

Its health bar De-syncing it used to happen a lot but they fixed it, then they somehow broke it again in another patch and it came back but its not as nearly as bad as it used to.

I get it a lot too, I'll be at 19% health, will be able to move around fine, cannot attack and can use potions but die after a few seconds.

I saw dead people slide on the ground sometimes.
Maybe that's like you said.

Sometimes my magicka is empty suddenly, it's like someone absorb my power.
Or I die with few damage when my health is full and I have a full shield.
Maybe that's the same situation.

Bugs or lag make those happen.

Happens a lot to me too. When your resources suddenly go to 0 you are dead but the game didn't notice yet. Possible that it comes with hp desync.

I started to think people were exploiting because this would happen over and over to me. I'd get hit, and my stamina would drop to zero... then 3-5 seconds later I'd die. For a while, I thought certain people were exploiting (how am I going from a full 24K stamina to 0 with a single hit?) but then I realized it was a lag issue.

It's definitely a problem with healthbars not updating. I can fightfightfight, and have zero lag... but go from 80% health down to 0 because my bar didn't update to show I was wounded so I didn't react properly. It's become pretty common of late. It makes it appear as if you just took a ton of attacks at once

9/10 times if I kill with radiant destruction the players will freeze, then drop dead without ever seeing the photon beam.

Before 1.6, I was fighting some bad dudes in the Alik'r Desert. It was 4 to 1 and it was not going well. Here I was, valiantly fighting to take down as many as possible and was down to below 25% health. Suddenly all the remaining ones had full health and turned and started running away. I yelled at my screen something like "Hey, get back here". I figured I stepped outside their radius and they gave up on me. Then I keeled over and died.
