PS4 - Difficulty resurrecting players

ciemielewski.jasonub17_ESO · July 2018

I have not found any other posts regarding this, so I have started one. I have difficulty resurrecting other players, because when I attempt to hold the options button my option menu opens. This can be very frustrating when the window of opportunity to resurrect another player closes because my option menu opens 3+ times before I can get the game to recognize that I am holding the options button and not pressing it.

Does anyone else experience this? I don't think it is a controller issue. Has anyone discovered a trick to getting the resurrection to work on the first attempt?

I have this problem except... opposite, but also on PS4 NA. I will have the prompt telling me to hold option button to resurrect the player but when I press or hold the button nothing happens. It's similar to the issue with skills not firing. I press the button and just nothing at all happens. I would guess lag is at play here but I'm not sure.

Weird, this dont happens to me. If Im on the right spot, I just hold options and the ress goes on

when things get laggy, and I'm pressing like crazy on buttons - this happens (has always happened, I think)...

i usually need to back out, take a breath, and try again...sometimes that works...

Yep, just dont release the buttom till the dead buddy stands up :P

For clarity, You hold the options button to resurrect, then your options menu opens. You continue to hold the options button with the option menu open, and you are actually resurrecting the other player? When I successfully resurrect another player, the options menu doesn't open.

Is that what I was missing? The Resurrection is actually still occurring even tho the menu has opened?

The options menu opens immediately when I attempt to resurrect and I have not released the button. When I am not resurrecting a player, the options menu does not open immediately when I hold the options button. The menu only opens immediately while holding the button when I am attempting to resurrect another player

I think I will attempt to make a video recording of it happening and submit it to ZOS. They may not be aware it is occurring. It's pretty easy for me to reproduce. I am also on NA (PS4)

It can be very frustrating, particularly if the resurrection wheel begins to fill up after a few re attempt but you are interrupted with just a sliver left.

I wish I could remap the resurrection button. I believe the three different control layouts offered all have the options button for resurrecting.

Waaaait. Do you mean instead of the ressurection starting you get the little wheel like "trade with player, kick from group" etc.?

If that is what you mean, I definitely experience it, as well as some guildmates.

No, and I have wondered why that menu does not come up instead of the the menu that appears for me. The menu that appears when you press the options button once is the menu that appears for me when trying to resurrect. It's as if I wasn't accurately targeting the person, but I hold the options button when indicated on my screen. When I hold the options button when I am not resurrecting, there is a noticeable delay before the options menu opens. When I am attempting to resurrect, the options menu opens immediately and I have not released the button.

I am able to open the menu wheel for trading, etc. without any problems normally. It seems there have been 3 different untended outcomes when trying to resurrect players. No response, the character menu (what I call the options menu), or the wheel for trading / dueling / etc opening.

For reference (and science!) I'm actually on PC. Good to know though.

it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't occur during such a normally hostile situation...

folks dropping like flies at the front door of a keep, trying to get inside to take the flags while it's raining flaming oil everywhere - all kinds of animations going.off in every direction...

and then suddenly, I'm being prompted to trade with some ally prone on the ground...nooooooooooo...

randomkeyhits · July 2018

I thought I was just being ham-fisted ( still possible)

Nice to know others have this as well.

Shame its happening at all.

lol dunno why, but this seems to reset my lockouts...be it skill bar or res’n players or inability to run.

It should just be 'X' whoever came up with the bright idea of it being the inventory button is a troll. Nevermind that PS4 gets locked into how to play with no rebinding. Im guessing its more Sony then Zos but then they should honestly make that clear.

I have issues too where the bar to fill the res for some reason always breaks even though I'm holding Options like a mofo. It like blips the connection between game and button and it can be infuriating in dungeons.

Playstation has an Accessibility menu that effectively let's you rebind any button on the controller. The only thing you can't control over is analog axis. It would be good in most cases, but comes with the caveat that it's system wide, so you'd have to change anytime you play another game.

It also wouldn't help for the fact that Options serves 2 functions, Revive and Menu - but if you're looking for more basic options like just switching what buttons do what, it's built right in.

It's def. more ZOS than Sony because very few other games actually tend to prevent rebinding - I can only think of a few off the top of my head. It's a choice made on the dev's end, and not a limitation of Sony or their console.
