Wistrel the Zombie (new feature? Permadeath?)

So popped in for the first time in ages... and got killed by a robot

But I can't revive. The timer counted down and I am still dead in a heap. I've now regained my health, can equip weapons and shoot but still in a crumpled heap. Can even change clothes/armour and spawn a car (but can't get in it cause I "too far away" when it right next to my broken body). No mobs near by so not sure If I can deal damage or take it and not in PVP so can't hurt myself with a grenade.

In all my years, this is a new one on me. Happy Halloween.

 

hehe the feels from that vid.

So turned out, I think what had happened was that I had revived at the RT at Zychion. But my body and mind stayed where I died. I was unable to move my body but I wonder if there was a body moving at Zych RT? or was I invisible? Alas I hadn't realised otherwise I'd have got someone to check. I could fire and hear the noise but not see the beam or animation. I could change my dead avatars clothes and see the affect. I could attempt to spawn a vehicle next to my dead body but got the "too far away from you" message (as presumably I was at zych.

I only found out I was at zych after a relog... I forgot to go back to where I had died to see if there was still a body there.

Don't think it was the same bug as in the video as that body could rotate

 

I guess so... I wonder if it was because... at the time I died, I was caught on a wall I'd been trying to jump over. I wonder... the person in your vid was near a cage wall... maybe it's to do with being trapped on the environment and dying?
