    Default Reaver Deathroom Window

    Something has been kinda bugging me for a while with the Reaver raid. (Slight Spoiler Warning!)



    When you die, you get sent to this room above the Reaver's main chamber. Your soul stone gets sent up there too and you're tied to it. And there's also that force that ties you back in case you move too far away from your stone.

    But here's what bugs me. There's a blue forcefield that overlooks onto the main reaver chamber. To me, this looks like a window put in the room for the purpose of watching the battle unfold to at least give death a little excitement. The thing is though, there's no way to actually look out of that window. Your soul stone is placed too far away from the window to stay there for long, but even if you could just stand next to window, that force pulls you back before you get close.

    Thing is, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or intended. If it is a bug, please fix it. If it is intended, I would like if the mechanics would be slightly reworked. It would be nice if when you're dead, you could at least look out the window and root your companions on to victory.

    Stop dying all the time and it won't be a problem seeing what happens in the raid, coldin!

    Seriously, though.. I agree.

    You can watch the battle when you're dead, just watch the blue dots on your map fly around because of the elementals and the red health bars get knocked down when there's reverse gravity!

    That's not the purpose of the OP's request. He just wants to watch the battle with the Reaver, not call out spinning orbs. Someone from the main chamber should be doing that anyway. So, why did you post with a sarcastic response again? Reading, ftw...

    Frankly Impaqt, I'm not seeing what the big deal is about seeing the spinning skulls. I mean, someone on the ground can always keep track of that with a quick look up, and there's even a DM text that tells you when all the orbs are lit anyway.

    I'm just asking that since we're dead and can't do anything else for the whole raid, why can't we use that convenient window placed in the room already to see how our team is doing.

    WHere is the sarcasm in that? I disagree... I see the roleplay value of not being able to help your party when your dead... so I'm sarcastic and Having a bad day? I dont get it.

    Who cares about the spinning heads really? I've been in groups where no one called it out and it didn't matter. After all, the message tells you when you get the last one. Some parties have even asked not to call out the counts because they want to keep the chatter on the battle coordination.

    Most groups I've been in that do call it out have the cleric call it since the cleric doesn't have to look at the field of combat at all to effectively cast heals given our targetting hotkeys.

    So basically...nothing is hurt from letting people see from the death room.

    I've been in that room, its so boring, and I don't smoke anymore.

    So I want a lever only the dead can use. It will fire lighting bolts through my living teammates.

    I just need the company in the dead room.
