Respawn Screen pops up before you actually die!

Hello all. I have been having a problem of my respawn screen popping up before I'm even dead. I would like to know if anybody else besides Santus and I have had this same problem. Cause it does get irritating to try to drink a heal potion, respawn screen pops up, click Wait for Rez ,not to be dead yet and have the critical turn taken away for you to drink that life giving potion.
Thank you Sir Nagini

i think what's actually happening is that you die, and then your regen brings you back to life before the turn ends.

I know thats not whats happening because the screen will pop up while I still have between 100 to 200 hitpoints. I have played on many other servers and this is the first time I ever encountered this problem. Today it only happened to me twice today but it does appear to be a bug. I really enjoy this server and the time DMs spend keeping it friendy. I added this to comment on the problem I am having and thank you for listening.

It's possible for mobs to do over 200 damage. Also if you're a shifter, that might cause an issue?

In major fights it will also appear that way when you hit a lag spike, seems the engine counts you as dead then looks at the health bar. It sucks but happens frequently to me when in a battle with lots of casting going on and my ISP decides to join in and casts its mini time stop.

Thank you, this here would discribe the problem I could be having and thus I do not always die. I don't know if the problem has been fixed because I haven't had that horrifing death for 2 days now. Thanks for the help

Yup, its a lag situation, it has happened to me while doing EC and DWP runs involving a large party. The spell casting and the amount of players, even though it may vary, plays a very active roll when it comes to adding lag. The DMs do a wonderful/helpful job in pausing every once in a while to help with lag, but other times its impossible to prevent it.
How to recognize when its happening?.. your toon starts moving in slow motion, the hits and the points of damage being inflicted.. everything moves in slow motion.. or 2 to 3 seconds behind.. which causes you to die, but you dont see it because you are in some time of "behind cycle" that eventually catches up.
Something that is really funny is when after a fight you try to rest and there is still numbers coming out of your toons head, out of the damage that was inflicted to your toon.. hehe

Hope this helps, anything you need, do not hesitate to send a tell or shout in game.
Good Luck
Sohl
