The 10 Minute Cyrodiil Death Time Out

Post » Thu Feb 20, 2014 1:39 pm

What are everyone's thoughts about the 10 minute time out you receive in Cyrodiil upon dying (unless someone comes along to resurrect you)?

Is this too harsh of a policy? Should users automatically be placed in the queue to ente Cyrodiil instead? Should they be sent back to their alliance zone or maybe an alliance gate in Cyrodiil?

I have several gripes about playing in Cyrodiil but this is my second biggest one - being unable to do anything but watch that black/gray screen and wait for the timer to expire or an ally to come along.

The timer is how long before you automatically respawn. You can respawn about as fast as you can click after dying.

This system was not in the last beta. I simply respawned at an "owned" keep the moment I died in battle.

I surely hope you didn't wait the ten minutes... Right under it there is a message saying "E to respawn now." It would be hard to miss that.

I don't know if there are conditions like server load which dictate it; but this system was definitely in place during the Beta from a couple of weeks ago.

Not that I ever saw. When I died I could click E and respawn right away. The 10 minute timer was for forced respawn.

Unfortunately this option was not always available. I did use it when it was available but there were instances when the automatic respawn was not available to be selected. The mandatory wait seems to be conditional but I do not know what triggers it. Or maybe it was just a bug?
