Pile of Ash

Post » Tue Mar 04, 2014 8:48 am

If you died from burning, you'll be turned into a pile of ash. People cannot resurrect you anymore. It is also seen on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5_0qT6JyLY (good PvP video).

I experienced this once when I was in a resource flag node when we were capturing it, and I died as a pile of ash. A lot of my allies are near there and someone said that I cannot be resurrected. It is evidenced more with the video above at around 14:00 to 17:00.

Yep.

More of a statement and less of a question? Unless you're playing with buddies, people don't typically resurrect others because it's not worth it :/

It can happen with other status effects also. Ice can shatter you, lightning can fry you, etc.

Its rare and only happens on crit killing blows I believe, but its righteously hilarious when you deal it out and obnoxious when you get hit by it.

Fairly new addition to the game.

Yeah I quite like this, especially the burning... it actually looks cool. I kill everything with fire for this reason. Now I'd love to see some melee death animations, decapitations or just something a little more flashy. :)

They used to have kill cams in the earlier builds, not sure what happened to them. Maybe they'll bring them back later.

Personally I don't like kill cams. I prefer a quick and unceremonious end to my foes. So good design choice on ZOS' part imo.

Kill cams sound cool in theory, but in an MMO everything around you is still moving at normal time. Pvp/raids still going on while you're enjoying a decap is gonna make people mad in the long run. If they were able to get a good kill in there in the standard GCD would be one thing, but I still wouldn't want it to take over my camera in these situations

Sorry, this is more of a please fix it, or I want to know if it's WAD. It could be good strategy to prevent zerg rush because there are restriction in resurrecting.

You could disable them in the options, personally I almost never saw them activate so it was a cool idea that just never seemed to pan out well, probably why they got axed.
