Let's set the scenario. You're off fighting in Besieged, you're fighting in a corner that no one else is near, because you're pinned back there. Maybe you tried to run to more people, but grabbed a bunch of mobs that killed you. Regardless, you died. And oh no, Chochoroon wasn't there at the start so you didn't have an Instant Reraise! The battle ends, and no one finds your body.

Another scenario. You're fighting Campaign in Vunkerl Inlet. You grab a mob off of the back of the tower to run to the main group. Since it's orc battles, you get hit with Slam Dunk. You're bound. It kills you. You forgot to get a RR item. The battle ends, and no one finds your body.

This is more of a problem with Besieged than Campaign, because you lose your exp reward from Besieged at the end if you're dead. Campaign also has NPCs in Allied zones that will cast Raise on you...during battle.

I think I read somewhere that they can't changed the Besieged "no exp when dead at the end" issue for some reason, but please don't quote me on that. What they can do is have something flag for anyone with Besieged or Campaign status effect that grants them an automatic Reraise at the end of battle. For Besieged, I would recommend adding maybe a minute to the length of time between the end of battle and the follow-up cutscene to give a chance for people to get up.

Just a small convenience request. Well, probably requires a great deal of programming but I wouldn't know. I just think it'd be helpful so people don't get completely screwed out of their reward from the end of a battle because no one finds them in time, or at all.

Signed. This didn't used to be as much of a problem because whenever Besieged used to happen, people would party up and there would usually be a designated raiser in the party/alliance.

Nowadays if you're in besieged, chances are you're doing it solo and if you don't have RR you're pretty boned.

I think it is more of a problem for Campaign really.
For one, Besieged does not award much experience points either way (well it does a lot more nowadays), and there is a chance for this to happen during Campaign a lot more (even if only due to the fact that those battles happen a lot more often).

On another note, I can't really believe that they can't have the Experience/Limit Points awarded after Besieged is done, since they can do that with Campaign, and the Imperial Standing.
Perhaps it has something to do with the cutscene...
I can easily imagine the programming is simply done that badly, that they would need to work on it a lot (read too much) and for that reason say they just can't...

Thus I would vote yes for Auto-Reraise, and it should not be impossible since there now are item(s) and key item(s) that do it.
Nothing more fun than to wait after a 30-60~ minute Campaign Battle for a raise, just to see the timer go to 0 and thus losing everything.
I have only once waited for it though, just because I couldn't be bothered to do anything else at the time so I could just take a nap there right beside the fortification (all-right, there was a big dragon doing the same on top of me, so I can imagine I was rather well hidden as it would not disappear for about a week due to a funky glitch).

It's not really so much of a problem now that more people are doing it again, but I still would not say no to this, especially not for the 'after battle' time when the NPCs have removed themselves from the scene...


I think only thing I've ever been more annoyed about is getting disconnected during a battle and losing the points that way. This is a lot different issue though, and likely very different to address it. I do think there should be a way, since certain 'buffs' are not lost so...
