Why doesn't the wayshrine inside maelstrom arena work?

Seriously, this is so weird and such a logical thing to have working in there.

✭Because the area is meant to be a copy of an area of the mortal world.

✭✭✭✭✭"What This Object Does" and "What This Object Looks Like" seem to be two separate functions in game engine. This is not a wayshrine. It is a death respawn point, kind of like the blue flame on a small pillar you see at the start of group dungeons. But someone on the design team put a full wayshrine graphical object around it, which was a mistake and is confusing.0 -

When I realized that WS didn't work it inspired me to read about the stories of the aspects like "Moves-Like-Heat-Lightning" that were laying about. Pretty good container loot in there, too, since it's outside Justice System thievery. Got me a Barbaric motif in there for the first time in a long time.0 -

✭I quite like the idea of using an Oblivion gate to enter this realm. The wayshrines around the game are actually shrines that people go to pray etc. We can use them as teleport points only because of our soul shriven condition as described by the Wayshrines of Tamriel book where in order to use them "a mortal's soul would have to be, temporarily or permanently, "unmoored from the Mundus."
Of course game mechanics and lore explanations differ. And yes, it acts like the blue flame pillars in delves etc as Dagoth_Rac pointed out

That makes sense BUT surely when he invited us he didn't intend or predict we'd stay for all eternity did he? So he'd know, eventually, we're going to leave. Hence the need for a way out; ie: a wayshrine you can port out from[GT: INFINITE12] XB1 I NA I DC PRIMARILY I

I don't know, I think he likes me.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

Actually, it explicitly tells you that it had every intention of enthralling you to permanently lead its army, but tossed that idea when your victories began to bring back the memories of the Barons who Moved Like This. Apparently, after it realized it could reclaim ALL its Barons, Fa-Nuit-Hen had little use for you. Consider yourself lucky 0 -
Phica_Lovic✭✭✭✭Most people are giving lore or RP answers, while it's entertaining.... it's not the answer.
The wayshrine is in case you need to rez without soul gems. There is one in the beginning of any and every delve, public dungeon, and group dungeon. (That little stone thing with a flame on top.)
It's for people who actually ran out of soul gems. Which is funny because by the time you get to vMSA, you are definitely always packing enough soul gems.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

*sigh* it's the truth. Not too long ago someone made a plea for another wayshrine to work and that was pretty much the answer.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord1 -

Never go in with less than 500 pots and 200 gems, even if I complete it within the hour with fewer than 5 deaths.
It would be nice to have the wayshrine allowing you to port out. Took me ages to realise there's a portal when you defeat the end boss that takes you back to the start instead of porting to another player to leave.The Legendary Nothing1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's decoration
Actually, almost every dungeon has a wayshrine and many delves. It's were we are ported to when reviving at wayshrine from inside the instance. It's also were we port to when traveling in from a wayshrine in most cases. None can be used to travel elsewhere.Edited by idk on October 14, 2016 3:34PM0
I spent a bit of time clicking on it last night.. trying to will it to work..
