Zelaron Gaming Forum - Diablo 3 Resurrection

When a player dies, a grave post appears where they perished. The dead player sees a five second countdown timer. Once the timer hits zero, they can choose to resurrect (with no death penalty) at the nearest checkpoint. Alternatively, the dead player can wait for another character in the game to resurrect them. When this is done the other character uses one resurrection scroll from their inventory, and the dead character reappears on the spot of their grave marker.

Interesting they took the reagent away. This would have some definite Team PVP utlity if it ends up being instant, and if they have team pvp.

Also I understand it gives players another chance vs. the one hit kill bosses we see in the demo, so it would make sense to have it as an instant, right? So you don’t get beat down by the boss as you are casting the res…

In Team PVP 2v2:
Team 1 Barb partner dies
Team 2 Wizard predicts a res from the team 1 monk, does a Blizzard effect over the dead Barb’s body
Team 1 Monk ressurects Barb
Team 1 Barb instantly dies to blizzard as he is being ressed

Sounds like fun times.

Yeah it’s always been instant, the reagent was removed for other… requirements. Which may change, so we’re going to keep that a secret for now.

One of the great things about transparency into the development process is that there’s a lot of info we can share. The drawback is that development and changes sometimes move at a pace where information becomes outdated, and unless you’re willing and able to stay on top of all info releases, it can be more confusing than helpful. You have a group of players following the game and each one has different knowledge depending on when they happened to read forum threads/twitter/facebook/fansites.

Food for thought.
