Raise Animation Lock

[Naunet]

Nope. In the last mmo I played there was a small lock too. You wouldn't be able to do anything until the animation was over.

And was it also impossible to heal the person you just raised while said person was still capable of taking damage that they could not move out of because of the animation lock?

This is not okay.

I don't want to see any kind of invincibility added to being raised. Last thing we need is to dumb down the MMO genre any further.

I do think being able to heal a player during this animation would help the issue while still forcing players to process some thoughts on when to raise. I know, I know. The last thing us MMO players want to have to do is be challenged or god forbid think while we play our games.

Also, (my mind may not work properly) but isn't there a slight loading screen in addition to all this when being raised? Do not approve D:

Being able to work around it is irrelevant to the conversation of whether or not it should be the way it is. I can raise up during Titan and survive also (as BLM no less, which has crazy low HP/defense compared to most everyone else).

If you want to call it a feature, because you think that added difficulty needs to be there, go for it, but don't use "it doesn't stop you from playing the game" as a way to legitimize it. You could also work around it by not dying. Crazy, right?

You have to work around it because it's a penalty, the penalty for dying in a fight and being revived is that it's not so easy to get back into the fight. This is by design.

Given how easy it is to press swiftcast and raise there has to be drawbacks.

^^ This. Doesnt matter if you dont know where the healer is. Your healer should be telling you when to get up..

It's normal.

Normal =/= acceptable.

Change =/= bad.

It's okay to question authority. In fact, a community should encourage it.

Learn to accept raise at the appropriate time.

Which add on are you using that gives you an "Accept Raise" option during a LB3? That's when I see most insta-deaths occur anyway.

When is not normally the issue... It's WHERE. Things go wrong sometimes and if you accept a Raise/Resurrection only to then get up on top of/inside of some move you're instantly dead again. Then there's always the possibility that it was totally safe and then a random move goes off or someone turns a move towards where your healer WAS and *BAM* you're dead again. You can't always see where you're gonna go when you get Raised/Resurrected either. You really expect everyone using DF to be using a voice chat service or even trying to type while they're probably running all over the place trying to avoid stuff themselves?

This is something that should change but won't and people will white knight it because they're super elite players that never die.
