WoW Classic: Can't Resurrect in Battlegrounds

I keep dieing in battlegrounds, get sent to the graveyard and then can’t resurrect.
This seems to happen almost every single battleground now and is very frustrating,as it does not allow me to participate.
The only way I seem to be able to resurrect is by leaving the battleground, logging out and logging back in. (And even then logging out doesn’t always work.)
For example, I wait over 1 hour, join Alterac valley, die and then can’t Resurrect without leaving the battleground.

My Character Remains at 1 life and 0 mana. (However I had a few situations where I ran back to my corpse, clicked the “Resurrect” UI Icon and then stayed dead with 1 life but had 50% of my mana back. (However I could not use any of my spells or abilities and could not interact with anything or see the enemy.)

Additionally, if I stay dead until a battleground ends, I re-spawn dead. (It is not until after I have left the battleground, logout and then log back in again that I am back to normal and even then it does not always work.

I wanted to include a screenshot, but the forums keep giving me the error that “Sorry, you can’t include links in your posts.”

I had opened a ticket with a GM the first time it happened and they explained that I the “invisible” death debuff seems to stay on me and not get cleared.

Sounds like you have an addon that is corrupted or some kind of UI file just from the issues you claim to see or really bad connection/loading issues.

When you die and go to a Graveyard there is a timer that counts down your resurrection starting from 30 seconds. If you res as soon as that res goes off, you have to wait the 30 seconds. If for some reason you do not have a timer, you can click on the spirit healer to bring it back up, if that timer isn’t showing then you will not be ressed.

Veroux, thank you for your kind assistance.

I resurrect at the at the graveyard, the problem is that “there Is no Spirit Keeper”, therefore I don’t get the countdown timer.

Connection / loading issues are not a problem. Am running a $3000 professional rig, with FIOS. (I do not suffer from high ping (latency) or jitter issues.) My latency is usually ~23ms and jitter at most is 1 or 2 , on a bad day.

This ONLY happens in battlegrounds and nowhere else.

I had thought it could be a an addon… but I am not sure how an addon could effect whether or not a spirit keeper appears… (Spirit keepers and the death debuff are server side, not client side.)

I guess I can try disabling the SSPVP addon and see if the issue occurs without it enabled.

The Addons “could” just be a problem. It’s best to try doing what you are trying to do by specifically disabling all of them entirely and to test using the default UI. If for whatever reason it works when you do that, then it was just issues in loading the areas around you due to addons using too many resources, which isn’t likely if you invested 3k into a PC recentlly. Though if it’s very recent, it might be out of date drivers since a new computer will not come with the most up to date drivers for your GPU.

With that said though, even $3k rigs can cause problems if things aren’t being kept up to date.

I would specifically manually search for driver updates to the GPU you have just in case there is one available and your automated check isn’t picking it up.

Might be out of left field, but if you’re playing and downloading the game at the same time, then that could be causing issues in loading models that haven’t been even downloaded yet. I would always recommend to wait until any downloads are done and to not play using the “Playable” option while downloading as that doesn’t usually work right even though it says playable. Playable is a flexible word.

I now had this happen a couple times without having any addons loaded…

Therefore I think it may just be a frustrating bug thats part of the game.

if I logout. “/logout” and log back in, sometimes I get ressurected.
But in doing so I get kicked out of the battleground.

It’s not an addon, it’s a crappy glitch that happens almost every week for me.

Can’t rez and gotta log out for a few mins and screw up my AV queue

so stupid

In a weird way, I am glad its not only happening to me.

I now get reported by players in BGs, because they think I am hacking becasue of this bug.

When this happens, I become untargetable, and even if I “rez” I remain untargetable, but can’t interact with anything.

This may be an old bug from Classic.
I remember this happening to myself back then on another account.

Still happening multiple times a day to me at this point. It’s a joke.

This has been happening to me a lot recently.

If this happens inside arathi basin or alterac valley:

Step 1: hope your corpse didn’t get looted.
Step 2: Run to your corpse and take the body res when your timer is up. You will come back with half health and mana (if you have mana), but will still be considered dead.
Step 3: find the nearest water source, and drown yourself.

This will kill you again and put you at the graveyard, and after a few minutes of frustration and non-productivity you can get back to the game.

If this happens in Warsong Gulch, your done. The only way to kill yourself in the half-dead state is drowning, as abilities that would do damage (eg dark runes) don’t work due to being dead, and falling damage does not work due to being dead.

Addendum: When you do die, wait a second or two before releasing, as I have noticed that essentially every time this occurs, it is when I have released quickly. This also means DEFINITELY turn off DBM auto release.
