Description of your improvement: A timer that shows how long you can remain dead before it auto forces you to restart.
Why are you suggesting it? (What does it solve for?): There have been many times when I was dead and seeing if I can get a greater res in time to save the cost of going to Church but the person was unable to make it in time, thus wasting their time and mine by waiting.
How it currently exists today: You just are dead and after so long you restart. (Don't know the timer, assuming something like 5 min?)
