Lately most of the times I’ve entered either I spawned dead: Two most recent being when I entered the fractal lobby again after leaving to re-trait and when my group reached the Jade Maw I was the only one to spawn dead. It isn’t something I’m raging about, yet, but it is rather annoying having it happen so frequently now.

This happens especially often when reconnecting to Fractals. A few days ago my party entered Fractals, and I was instantly faced with a disconnect. I reconnected, entered Fractals again, and found my character dead in the fractal hub.

Could this have something to do with falling damage when spawning the player in the hub? Could it be that the player sometimes falls through some of the collision while loading?

Yeah, I saw that you could die joining mid way as it happened to a friend a few times so I assumed that may of been intentional for whatever reason and accepted that as the result of not joining from the beginning. But that doesn’t explain my instant death when loading into Jade Maw =/.

Sadly I don’t know the answer to either of the questions but if that is what is happening then I would think that is a bug.

For fractals this is not a bug. The reason was never directly stated but alluded to an exploit that was found while testing when they first implemented the reconnect for fractals.

I see, one of my friends also mentioned the reason for dying is because of exploits. But I still believe that what I faced was a bug: Looking at the chat log you can see that I didn’t reconnect.

Leaving then rejoining and disconnecting then rejoining are effectively the same thing since it is the rejoin mechanic that is being exploited.

Yes, I understand that but as I said I didn’t leave and that’s what is leading me to believe that what happened there was a bug.

It makes things very confusing when you say that and

Two most recent being when I entered the fractal lobby again after leaving to re-trait

These two statements contradict each other.

Ah, sorry about that, my last reply was referring to my screenshot seeing as you quoted me on that. Just to be clear, the two incidents didn’t happen on the same run.
Again, apologies for confusing you.
