===No More Res Resurrection Scrollsin Diablo III===What changed in December 2009 was that the Resurrection scroll was removed. Why, and how this changes the function of the resurrection ability remains unclear.

The developers of Diablo III experimented with various Resurrection [[reagents]] during game development, including Resurrection Scrolls, but ultimately determined that the ability to resurrect other players should not require any sort of potion or scroll. The ability to resurrect is directly implemented into the game interface, and does not require any items to use. The change away from resurrection scrolls was first announced in a tweet via Blizzard's [[@Diablo ]] feedin December 2009.

::Yeah it’s [resurrection] always been instant, the reagent was removed for other… other... requirements. Which may change, so we’re going to keep that a secret for now. The topic was revisited in February 2011.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-shrines-poison-explosions-and-more/] ::Will you be allowed to resurrect your team mate in Arenas? If not, are resurrection potions still in the game for regular play? --NocturneGS::No reagents for resurrecting friends in co-op, instead there’s a short window of time to click on them or they’re running back. --Diablo By "running back" @Diablo refers to the self-resurrection method, which allows dead players to respawn at the last [[checkpoint]] they reached, which is usually 60 seconds or less from the spot of death (assuming the dungeon between has been cleared of monsters).
