This happened to me last night. Uhhhhhmm... what??


A DK killed me while going for a relic (according to my death recap). I "released" and waited for the respawn countdown... when it hit, I respawned and died IMMEDIATELY and that death recap said I died to a NB. But it's not like a NB was camped out on the spawn point, I mean, I literally died at the exact second I respawned. I'm guessing I took a ton of damage from both the DK and the NB but due to lag some of the damage didn't "hit" me until my respawn.
However, as you can see, I did not have the normal option to "release" and return to the game. Instead I could revive with a soul gem or go to a wayshrine....... huh?? Better yet, neither of those options actually did anything. I could read my death recap but pressing X or square did nothing. Eventually I got an inactivity warning and I was removed from the game.
One of my teammates tried to rez me (I think) because they came over to me and stood on top of me for awhile but I never saw the resurrection animation and instead of getting a "teammate wants to resurrect you" notification, it kept saying "teammate wants to trade with you" "trade invite declined" over and over. So unless my teammate was trying to trade with my dead body, I think some wires got crossed somewhere....
