I would use it more but the fundamental issue on console is you can only study it whilst dead after dying. And in the majority of cases you need to get up and be revived quickly. Some kind of recording tool to refer back to later would be great. You mostly know why but sometimes it happens very quickly. I think a bit more detail that could be studied later would make the system useful.

i know console doesnt have addons to log that kind of stuff, so you could do the old school method of screenshot it if you cant look at it for more than a few seconds lol

then just review it after you were done whatever activity you were doing

Yes. I usually have the past hour of video as default video capture so i can review footage. Helps massively in trial progression sessions etc. Especially if i am helping lead/teach. Just not the most cleanest way of doing it still.

Never, I only PvE so if I die it is usually die to either stupidity, took a bio break around a respawn, or lag/fall damage.

Either way it is apparent why I died and I try to never do it again. So far I quite good avoiding it as none of my characters has died in months.

I use it more often to see WHO killed me than WHAT.

Oops, did I say that out loud?

But I seldom use it at all, because I'm usually more interested in resurrecting myself so I can get back to whatever I was doing in the game.

It's great in trials when you are trying to see which mechanic you botched up. And the tool tips are hilarious. My last one was, "Not sure what the problem is. Trying opening the crown store."

Playstation has the share button. You press it and press save video and it will capture the last 15 minutes of what you did.

Pretty much this. I usually know what killed me, but there are times when I get nuked and have absolutely no idea what happened. For the first time a few days ago I got killed by a vanilla guard after they used something called Power Something and did next to 25k damage in that one attack. I wasn't fighting back and had only been running for like 5 seconds so it wasn't the one-shot guards can do after a while (the damage from that is also in the millions iirc). I have NEVER seen that from a base game guard (I was in Dhalmora) in all the time since they implemented the Justice System, so when I got yeeted to the next era from full health I checked to see what the hell had happened.

Absolutely essential in Cyrodiil. I make my new builds off of skills I get tired of dying from.


Please don’t interpret low response as a reason to remove this feature from the game.

It gives me closure in certain scenarios and when I wanna see just how much effort it took to take me out. I've seen my PvP build take some incredible punishment on those death recaps before going down and it puts a smile on my face.

Only when I want to see if I just got one shot or if I really should have been paying more attention and let health get low.

PvP, obviously, but also sometimes in Boss Fights when I want to know just how badly I got one shot by something.

Only when I die unexpectedly, so I can try and see and learn from it. When I die to terrible server performance or I know what mistake I made, I don't really need to look as much. More in PvP than PvE.

Always in PVP while in PVE I do when I have those "[snip] just happened?!" moments.

[edited for profanity bypass]

I have it toggled on by default and use it to see what killed me and to learn for not being killed by it again.

I usually use it in PvP, and I have an add-on (extended death recap) that gives me a huge list of damage I took leading up to death instead of just he last few hits. (It also doesn't have any useless tips).

But it can be helpful either seeing where you went wrong, or seeing if (like when you just explode all the sudden) how much damage you actually took even if it didn't look like you did because of a little lag/delay. But it can be the most useful in PvP IMO just because of the variety of things that can lead to a death in addition to your own mistakes like lag and numbers.

Or even more rare, but still occasionally, in a trial or hard dungeon, seeing what might have killed me, especially if I'm tanking, to see whether or not it was a mistake on my part, or just a bad decision thinking I could take a hit that I should dodge (usually when something is brand new). But it's nice to make sure you did take one huge shot and not five different smaller things that could normally be
