The REAL Battlegrounds Purgatory...

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....

    weird!

    As for the teammate, don’t know how it is on console but I can imagine fat-fingering the keys if they are close by each other or on a radial menu

    He may have been trying to trade, if he thought you were stuck in a load scream. Sometimes opening a trade window can pull someone out of a stuck load scream.

    I thought that, too, BUT I think when someone is dead and you target them you don't actually see the radial menu, right? You only get the option to resurrect them.

    Load scream! :D That's what I'm going to call them from now on, because I always feel like screaming when I have to look at "This may be an unusually long loading time" for a small eternity.

    Anyway, OP, that's bizarre... Never had that one happen before.

    Kinda like I said before, if I was appearing as dead then they shouldn't have been able to initiate a trade with me, right? Because targeting dead allies only presents the option to res them...

    I’ve noticed my teammates getting incapped as they’re spawning. They usually don’t die but I see their health drop and hear the noise
    May the Schwartz be with you.

    After respawn damage comes in that was applied before dead but did not hit yet. Same thing as described happened to me as well and needed to leave the BG and got a nice penalty for leaving.

    I think it is crazy that after respawn I got hit by curse this happens very often. Stupid and needs to be fixed.

    This happened to me a few months ago, OP. I put it in the bug reports section of the forums and never got a response.
