Stuck / Frustrated

[ugmar]

If a staff member sees this please let me know.

I tried the bard quest from the starting city.  I got in and died after not being able to figure out what I was supposed to do (I used the flute to kill a couple things with provo) and not being able to leave or get answers from Pan.

Anyway, that's not the issue.  Once I died and tried to rez at the stone I was stuck and chain killed by a lich.  Now I can not recall, or move in any fashion.

This was the first frustrating experience in a week, but this has been really rough.  I expect I will lose my corpse with all my best gear, and I can not figure out what I did wrong.

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.

So, finally unstuck after 30 minutes and like a dozen deaths. Feel free to delete this thread.

I am sorry you got backed into a corner and endured frustration. Personally I hate frustration and try to provide a 'work around' where possible.

When you resurrect (except on Tartarus) you are Immortal for 60 seconds. We hope that a minute would give you time to get your items and get out of danger.

Also:
- You can resurrect at an Ankh or Res Stone. You can also resurrect by using the in game command [SelfRes (if you have the gold in your bank).
- You can 'Click' on yourself then select 'Toggle item insurance' to target and insure items.
- If 'insured' then select 'Auto renew inventory insurance'. Insurance costs gold if you die but if the items are valuable it can be worth it.
- You can go to the Arete bank as a ghost and use the Black Stone for Resurrect and Corpse Retrieval. There is also one in the Bard Quest area.
- You can use the 'Help' button on your Paperdoll then select 'My character is physically stuck' to get moved to a random city (takes a minute).

I hope this helps.

If I am missing something please let me know.

So to be clear this is the situation that happened to me.

- I went into the bard zone for Pan's quest.
- Got the flute from him and proceeded to kill a bunch of mobs.
- Died because I messed up (no biggie)
- Rezzed at the rez stone in the zone.
- Found myself completely frozen in place. I could still bandage, cast spells, etc. but could not move at all.
- Tried to recall out and was told I could not use that spell here.
- Tried the stuck command since I was still frozen in place after 4 deaths and was told I could not escape that way.
- Proceeded to die repeatedly for over 45 minutes trying to keep my body from decaying while I looked for help.
- After a dozen or so deaths for whatever reason I unfroze finally.
- Immediately ran to the sparkles and got out of that zone.

Only reason I was frustrated was that there was clearly a bug that prevented me from being able to respond in any fashion to the environment around me other than standing there.

To be clear this has been a good shard, I just lost around an hour of my free time watching me die over and over. End result I just lost some fame which is no big deal, but at the moment I just wanted out of a death loop so I could log out and do something else without losing my best gear.

If possible see if you can reproduce what happened to me as it appears to be a bug from what I can tell.

Thanks,
