"Rez?" "Where is the corpse?!"

Is It difficult for anyone else to find a group member's dead corpse? If there is a way to change some sort of setting to make this easier, please let me know. It seems like other people can't find me either when I'm dead during a boss fight (especially if there are add bodies laying everywhere or AOEs going off). I tried names. I tired limiting when health bars of NPSs and players show up. Glow intensity. I think that's it. I don't use addons but I'm pretty sure I've never heard anyone mention something to help this situation before. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

    With all the various shiny, glowing, colorful explosions going on in group and more so raid environments I'm not sure glow would be the way to go. I'd like some sort of arrow or icon a bit larger above allies. I came across an add on that directed you to the nearest fallen ally, but I didn't download it (oops) and can't recall what it was called. I'll update the post if I find it again. My biggest issue at the moment though is having to dance around corpses finding that perfect spot where you actually get the option to res them.

    For me I always look for the party indicator and just look around that area until I see the "Push F" button.

    Party indicators don't seem to help me on that front very much. The only problem with guess and checking for the Activation Key to pop up is the window. You pretty much need to know exactly where that body is and be looking directly at it for it to give you the option.
    I'm all for realism! Slightly more so though when I'm in the free roam of Tamriel. When a dungeon requires me to keep 4 health bars above 17k at all times, the I Spy a corpse Game can be tricky and time consuming. I'm in there for smooth success though. I'll graphic spectate outside the instance. If a giant glowing beam helps me find my tank's corpse then I'm down! haha

    I use AUI, and it comes with a minimap. Makes ressing tons easier when you can just look at the minimap to see where your group members are. Doesn't work in some dungeons for some reason, though.

    1) The problem is likely that they haven't noticed you died. Simple truth is people get tunnel vision and don't worry about others dropping so much as themselves.

    2) Resurrecting is easily interrupted and they may still be dodging the now condensed attacks from enemies having less targets and thus focusing fire more.

    3) I tend to use a soul gem to res myself before anybody could res me. I bet others do too rather than wait.
    3.5) I have tried to res so many people, at least in the open world even right after watching them drop, only to have them just sit there and not take the res or still go to wayshrine.

    4) The default UI, at least for gamepad, puts an easily visible "+" above dead players which has options to make it easier to see I believe. It has a little issue with line of sight though because sometimes hanging vines or small rocks in front of the corpse seem to block it from showing up.

    I'm not a huge fan of using addons. Not saying I wont use them if I have to though. I currently dont have any updated atm (thats one pain about it). I just personally like to see the game in its natural state. Addons shouldnt be a necessity like they might actually be in this case in order for me to find my rez target.
    One of the earlier comments now: I am a healer and have my eyes glued to the top left corner of the screen unless im on the body hunting mission, so I know when somebody dies the second it happens. This issue only concerns me during a boss fight. Thats when I search for them. Players cannot rez during a boss fight therefor they cant spawn before I see them die.
