Hey y’all,
Under specific circumstances, town portal is both castable and usable while dead. This seems to most commonly occur while in multiplayer and when using a potion at right around–or perhaps exactly–when a killing blow lands on the player. The player will be struck down by the blow, but the potion will also activate, providing health to the player while they’re dead, sending them into some sort of purgatory.
There’s no way to revive when this happens, so my friend and I decided to try slapping T. Sure enough, a TP popped open and, again, sure enough, the dead-but-not-dead player could enter the TP, then use the port to player option on the other party member to rejoin whatever fight is in progress.
I have seen this happen a handful of times over the last few days, but only one of them happened in single player.
Ultimately I don’t know what’s actually happening to cause this, but it feels like a desync issue. I will update this post if I am able to provide more info.
