I encountered a bug with Resurrection in my Horntail run today. I was using 4 clients: Shiyui (bishop), Fyleri (bishop), Hanshi (shadower), and Kanai (buccaneer). We had a VIP HTP buyer, who was a level 140 bishop. Buyer died due to Head B dispel and then falling rock damage on the bottom left side. I waited 8 minutes and then casted Resurrection with Shiyui. The buyer immediately died due to the same falling rock damage, on the bottom left side. I vaguely remember being confused because the buyer wasn't a floating icon on my minimap, and I couldn't see their character on the main map due to being in the bottom left corner. I waited 8 minutes again, invite Fyleri to the party, and then casted Smokescreen with Hanshi over the buyer. I casted Resurrection with Fyleri both inside and outside of the smokescreen, but while the Resurrection animation would play on Fyleri's client, the skill would not go off CD. And Fyleri appeared to just be standing doing nothing on other clients, like I saw on Shiyui. Smokescreen ran out. I proceeded to Time Leap Shiyui's Resurrection and Hanshi's Smokescreen. I attempted to cast Resurrection with Shiyui, without using Smokescreen beforehand. Again, the Resurrection animation would play on Shiyui's client only and the skill would not go on CD. Shiyui appeared to just be standing doing nothing on all other clients. It's my suspicion that this bug may have to do with death upon the being resurrected animation or death due to falling rock damage or both. Going forward, bossers should be advised to prevent the resurrecting players from immediately dying again, ideally by using Smokescreen before all Resurrections to prevent any sort of damage on the resurrecting players or by watching attack animations to time Resurrection properly!
Had the same issue at Castellan Toad, so it's most likely not the rock's fault. I tried to resurrect our dead 2nd bishop with mine, and as soon as i cast resurrection he was just half floating with his character at 0 HP shown in the party HP bar, not being able to move or cast any spells.
If he wasn't on the minimap then my first guess is that the server didn't reassign his location correctly. So then trying to revive him a second time naturally won't work because he's not there. It sounds kind of similar to the league of legends bug that happened recently where a champion would attach to another champion, the target champion decided to use his teleport skill to the other side of the map, and the server lost track of the attached champion and just dropped him on a random coordinate.
Had this happen to a htp buyer once too. Spoiler: Story unrelated to glitch There was nothing else that could be done. After he was warped back to Leafre, he proceeded to pm my friend who was the organiser, scolding her for wasting his time and saying he's going to blacklist her among his community. Saw him in ban appeals not long after.
I went to experiment with all the possible scenarios where res won't go into cd (animation doesn't even show on a different client) after its usage. 1. Bishop alone without a party - CD 2. Bishop alone in a party - no CD 3. Bishop alone in a party but with offline/absence of party members in the same map - no CD 4. Bishop in a party with a live party member - no CD 5. Bishop in a party with a dead party member but far away (Cannot see the dead char in the minimap) - no CD 6. Bishop in a party with a dead party member but a maximum distance away without losing the dead character's sight in the minimap - no CD 7. Bishop in a party with a dead party member, standing right next to it - CD 8. Bishop in a party with a stuck dead party member, standing right next to it - no CD no res I think Shiyui's incident falls with no.8 Now about the stuck characters during/after res... The only time I ever experienced something like that was during zak runs where a buyer who got knocked into zak's body doesn't have enough hp to survive a physical contact from zak after they are ressed. They die immediately but instead of turning into a ghost with falling tombstone, they get stuck like a statue in the jumping motion with 0 hp. I once took my own mule to loot helm and it got stuck the way I described. It wouldn't get unstuck even after zak's death but for some unknown reason, it got unstuck on its own after a certain period of time. I replicated the incident using a low lvl char and help from a friend.
Wow this little report got so much interesting insight, thank you everyone for all your posts. I couldn't see our dead buyer last night (except in minimap where I thought it was weird they weren't floating), so I had no idea that they were stuck in the falling animation. Pretty much confirmed that dying while being in the middle of the resurrection animation means you're GG haha. Fix soonTM we can hope! Until then, gotta be careful to not die immediately.
