Worst way to die

[Beerwagon454]

So what would be your least favorite DDO way to die. I gotta go with implosion. Its kinda slow and you just get crushed in on yourself, sounds really painful and unpleasant too.

[Forgeborn]

Hold person, and subsequently being poked to death by a few kobolds... on a WF...

Don't you love those lapses on immunity sometimes?

Having my brains sucked out while wearing deathward.

[Rumbaar]

In a blade trap in a quest that is 15 levels below my character.

[KypDurron23]

Getting zapped by a kobold shammie because you're laying on the ground incapped and your fellow party members insist on fighting on top of you. :D

[GotSomeQuestions]

I'm just glad there's no autorun in real life.

[cdemeritt]

joining a pug....

[Doxmaster]

Sniper archer hitting you for ~1 damage, then barely keeping you negative for a minute through displace, incap-regen and 1/minute hp regen from the Threnal cloak..

AFK drowning in Shroud part 3's regen pool.

[Aesop]

sliding down a greased razor blade into a pool of lime juice?

pecked to death by ducks?

killed by "something"... Glad that bug has seemingly stopped

Aesop

[HelvanderSeries6]

Rolled a 1 on a Violet beam from a Chaos beholder and was banished, sent to another plane on my lvl20 Shintao
and died instantly....good times :)

[Shyver]

Rage wearing off while sitting at the shrine. DING!

[Bodic]

con belt swapping

and drowning in molten lava

[binnsr]

killed by "something"... Glad that bug has seemingly stopped


Seems to have been replaced by suicidal tendencies.. Lately, every trap not only has my name on it, but have also been made by me as well..

[perylousdemon]

Well, it's not technically dying, but... Being banished by Horoth because you put on the wrong boots. Only had to make that mistake once... *facepalm*

[Letrii]

Accidentally falling into deep lava when trying to kill fire elementals in Taming the Flames.

[hifdfklgdfdkg]

laughing at a sorc's hp while fighting a kobald shamen and then getting zap and then the sorc still lives(to bad that sorc only had 31 hp and i had 100 and died)

[loki_3369]

Getting danced from Kormor's Belt in the middle of Epic Von 5 blade traps :P

[Khybes_Theo]

Getting stuck in the 'sleet storm' spell and not being able to move at all 'cause you have no starting momentum.

ARRGGHHHH!!!!

/rage quit

:mad::mad::mad:

[Habreno]

Falling in EVoN6.

Healing Cursed while incapped-it's worse than a stupid death, trust me.

[GeneralDiomedes]

I am guessing that being impaled on a rusty spike trap would rank among the most painful.

[Orratti]

Bleeding out while hoping to make my roll to stabalize

[tdocxxericxx]

my most frustrating death would be dying 11 seconds away from the shrine :p

But the worst would probably be getting held and killed by a pack of angry kobalds.

So humiliating...:(

[uhgungawa]

I hear that they are putting marriage into the game .... :eek:

[Superspeed_Hi5]

"I guess lightning really does strike twice"
I hate failing 2 saves in a row on a single lightning bolt that got reflected.

[Postumus]

Lag death.

I just died fighting Harry. I went from 670 HPs to zero in the blink of an eye. I don't really blame the healers (there were 3 clerics even) so much as the lag that didn't allow them time to react to the damage I was taking.

Lag is OP, nerf it now.

Did I do it right?

[Unreliable]

Trying to TR... IRL...

[Quickben1]

Combat : You were killed by *insert your own name*.
....
Twice.

[Pank]

After a wipe where you die, you recall, put on your haggle item and ding you die in the city just because you removed your con item to put haggle on....

[phillymiket]

Getting into EVON6 and exasperatingly giving instructions while calling people "n00b" and saying you better not do this and you better not do that...

...then immediately falling off the bridge as soon as it starts.

Was in a group where the leader did just that. :D



But I'd have to go with the OP: Implosion.

That would suck to see the rouge disappear in a purple cloud. Then the cleric. Then the wizard and know you were next.

Mob Caster: By the way, if you have something terribly important to say to Switch, I'd suggest you say it now.

Switch: Not like this. Not like this.

<Poof>

[herzkos]

true story.
a pug run with a bunch of newbies.

xorian cypher elite:
last man standing. kill the rednamed hellhound.
type /flex for all your dead companions.
incap.
your acid resitance has worn off.
tharashk hound acid breath.
ding!
no completion, no loot, no xp :(

[Philibusta]

I hear that they are putting marriage into the game .... :eek:

That's it. I quit.



How about...standing in a frost trap and dying in a quest well below your level, whilst visually impeded from seeing said trap killing you, due to the fact that your Social tab is open to the Guild section and you're chatting in the guild channel. While you die.

[Mister_Peace]

I watched someone die in Invaders after all the monsters were dead. The portals have lightning guard or something.

[ushram]

Drowning in a vat of halfling spit :eek:

[Kovalas]

Wiping in TOD, respawn point, marketplace spire, winging off the top, going incap in the marketplace on a healer! 3 times on the trot!

Kov
(wings addict)

[Aesop]

I wish someone would do a DDO vid for this... for now though

[FranOhmsford]

sniper Archer Hitting You For ~1 Damage, Then Barely Keeping You Negative For A Minute Through Displace, Incap-regen And 1/minute Hp Regen From The Threnal Cloak..

Afk Drowning In Shroud Part 3's Regen Pool.

[Cobra13e]

Slowly dissolving away into nothing inside a Gelatinous Cube.

[wootvenu]

As a healer u are helpless, burdened, exhausted and cant heal your self and mobbed to death.

[licho]

Being uncaped, stabilized and then some fellow kite monster to you so the glancing blow of ogre can finish you.

Being uncaped, stabilized, and then rage goes off.

[somenewnoob]

Blowing yourself up on the boat in Irestone Inlet.

However that is also my favorite way to die!

(Oh memories!)

lol

Nice reference there. and yes, just standing there knowing it will happen to you ... worst.

Jumping of marketplace spire with +1 HP after releasing - TWICE!!!

[Dendrix]

Immediatly after dying and the springing back to life in the 12.
Then swapping out my +6Con/GFL belt for a Planat Gird to buff my Haggle and sell stuff

<BOOM>

[Pape_27]

heres a couple ways that I hate...

relics quest:
running down the very first corridor, before you get to the door, cutting the corner to sharply, falling into the lava pit twice in a row <groan> *ding* *ding* followed by comments like "bwaaahahahaha", "really? twice?" and "can someone raise the cleric... again"

any quest:
getting incapped, slowly dropping 1 hp per round, then finally stabilizing because the Mantle finally kicks in... and along come a kobold/orc/orth, tiefling, etc who swats you for no good reason and *ding*...

ToD
Judge and Jailer part, cursed, die end up in penalty box... getting a scroll rez and 10% hp back, hop in lava, head towards shrine and *ding*... burnt to a crisp because you forget to heal/drink a pot, whatever... - and- getting the badge in the final fight, having the quest go haywire and fail, rez out - with the badge still in effect, and *ding* dead at your rez spot <sigh>....

[t0r012]

Rainbow in the dark , someone steps on a button everyone dies but my monk who barely survives , looking like a hero to get everyone to the shrine. Got incepted once and turned off wind stance to stand back up. Barriers drop and one lone mob and I think cool easy enough , click windstance for the fight and ding.

Hero to zero in 10 sec.

----
Side note did they change that recently? I think I tried to wind stance with low hp and I don't think it let me.
It was a rather inebriated evening so I might have been not doing what I think I was doing.

[arch0njw]

I'm just glad there's no autorun in real life.

Yes! Oh.My.Goodness!!!

[arch0njw]

Dancing and then getting nuked. It's like being turned into Lord of the Dance (of Death). We hates it!!!

[Ugumagre]

WW (I think we were doing only hard, some PC was low level...)
First, something happens and we get in an argument: I keep calm, play the mature, speak clear, slow, without screaming "people calm dow, you always get so stressed".
Minutes later, have to pass swimming the tunnel where you have to pull the lever several times to open and close the doors.
"Pull...PULL.... PULLLLLL.... PULLL THE F.::REEEZING.LEVEEEEERRRR" (hysterical, high peached voiced)
incap a few inches above surface...ding seconds later. All my coolness watered..

[Doomcrew]

Death by Shrine on a quad raged Barbian ......

So what would be your least favorite DDO way to die. I gotta go with implosion. Its kinda slow and you just get crushed in on yourself, sounds really painful and unpleasant too.

Least favorite way to die in DDO: Fall into lava at Twelve. Really, really embarrassing.

Least favorite way DDO way to die in real life: That one is hard, as there are so many painful ones. Probably lava pool in Sorrowdusk -- it does not cause that much damage so takes a long time, but it's a pit with vertical walls and no way to escape.

BTW, I am a diver in RL, and first time I ran Sleeping Dust it gave me the creeps. The "foyer" of Sleeping Dust is every diver's nightmare -- being lost in underwater structure collapsed at crazy angles, and no way to tell which way is up. The only things missing were darkness and sounds of breathing.

[brian14]

Do you mean the trap which sends you into fire elemental room? I love it because my ranger barely gets singed there... and carries everyone's stones to the shrine! ;)

I'm just glad there's no autorun in real life.
It's called "failed brakes"

[pasterqb]

I was in goggles in abbot and saw roids was having trouble or something and they all had low health. So me being on my caster i know i threw rage so i looked at my buff bar and saw it had like 20-30 seconds left so i type in chat "Watch out for my rage to wear off ;)" and what do you know 3 people died in roids after it was completed.

[Bekki]

My first POP run...

"Hey does any want this Docent...!?"

Guildie: "No! Wait! Don't!!!"

*DING!*
"Doh!!!"
/You have been hit for 1000pts. Of Dmg...

/P Your party member ________ has died....

Yup, I did that... I felt like such I D 10 T... :p

[Malky]

Still dunno how it came but : in the sub, while jumping between platforms on my monk to open the way to VoD i managed to die in the middle of an abundant step; quite far from the middle column.... hum how embarassing my soul stone is down the pit now :cool:

[licho]

One more, which should be add to hall of fame of noobinest:

Dying in quest, recalling to tavern, swaping items to standard set...
and having two GS uncleared accesories on with 10hp left...
Ding...
Ding...
Ding...
(...)
;-)

[benneburg]

Falling off the bridges in House Kundarak, find yourself on the only safe spot down there and having no way to get out without stepping onto the black and dying.

This has happened to me before as well. Isn't lag wonderful? :D

^^This creeped me out!!:D

[Viciouspika]

I have two that drive me nuts. Both are from the Lordsmarch chains.

First, Blockade buster: At the control panel make detinator, advise all to stay away from the panel in chat and text. Someone who entered after we loot the chest, sees us disappear loots quickly and open mine hatches with 5 second delay. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding go the rest of us on the lower decks. Some choice words for the survivor and soulstone on the seafloor. (Now, i know why Homer strangles Bart). Happens about every third run, squelch list growing and growing.

Second, Siegebreaker (i think): Clearing mine field with droam charges, set charge, turn to run, step on mine, fail save, come on balance skill, stand up, boooooommmmm. -1598 hp is the lowest any of my characters had ever been. Winning :)

[Stormanne]

The "Lag Drop." You make some meaningless jump, my example is the Spider and Crate room in Waterworks part one. I was jumping down from the middle ledge, got hit by lag for about 15 seconds or so, while in mid air. The game calculated my hang time into the damage algorithm, and hit me with 200 plus falling damage...on a level 2 wizard.

[Koshy11]

Well if you follow the OP line of thoughts, he's mentioning a single spell effect that would relate to how to die agonizingly in real life term, instead of painful tragic deaths.

My vote goes to acid fog, as mean as being imploded, it's a relatively fast and painful death. However imagine choking and burning with every breath until you die. I'd consider the worse way to go in a slow horrid way because lets face it, unable to breath, while having your skin and whatever you're wearing melting on you is far worse than being blown up from the inside out.

As for gaming death, getting lost in a tunnel of water with no sense of direction would be any diver's nightmare, the desperation of trying to find your way while running out of air, is far worse than being melted by lava in the 12.

[EddieB_TBC]

Drowning... anywhere... in lich form.

[Horkrux]

1) being despaired and then pew-pewed to death by archers.
2) auto run
3) you die and every1 is like "uhm how" then in party chat "wwwwwwwdsdadssdwasd"

[Cyr]

Having heals centered on you in DQ and not getting any of them while the rest of the party is getting them no problem...got to love lag.

[grayham]

Drop into IP elite Offering of blood xp farm + landing in 8-9 scorrow and a mass of BB's and then group leader sends you a tell saying "N00b-leave now".

Doubly painful.

[Hambo]

So what would be your least favorite DDO way to die. I gotta go with implosion. Its kinda slow and you just get crushed in on yourself, sounds really painful and unpleasant too.

Playing permadeath, level 3-4 in WW or STK (cant remember which).

Finish the quest, jump off a platform w/out realizing I had 2 HP left.

You can guess the hilarious consequences :D

[RaidMR]

This happened when I first started playing DDO:

Depths of Despair: lowbie cleric is swapping out armor and hasn't healed himself. Rouge impatiently opens door to Minotaur cage. Minotaur immediately aggro's the (now naked) cleric and charges cleric from behind... *Ding!* Death by Minotaur horn up the hoop; he's so hard his soul stone half embeds into the wall. :D

[Elyanna]

Well, it's not technically dying, but... Being banished by Horoth because you put on the wrong boots. Only had to make that mistake once... *facepalm*

I had this happen to me. I swore I put on my Boots of Anchoring and really put on Surefooted Boots. I spent at least 3 minutes wondering aloud what the heck happened. Then when I realized I was like "OMG I'm an idiot!"

I was joking around one time during the early days in Invaders on my rogue. Someone went afk near a door so I started to dance without any robe or armor on. Well said afk person came back and opened the door. Out poured 5 Fire Reavers and here goes the Halfling Rogue running around being chased by 5 reavers screaming "GET THEM OFF ME!"

[testx]

in Pve im gonna have to go with Healing cursed while "unconscious but regenerating-status"

in pvp, unconscious/incapped while your opponent hits you every few seconds with holy flame club til He falls asleep

and ofc pre-death id go with warforged mage type constantly irresistible dance +hold spells while they drink bar bought sp pots or least harmful of them but still rather gruesome, irresistible danced while being beaten to death by holy flame clubs ive had it all happen :(

[Zildoran]

Switching to wind stance to beat on the training dummy after party wipe...ding!

[DukeNukem.]

Switching to wind stance to beat on the training dummy after party wipe...ding!

i believe its pronounce harikari stance

[Burtle]

while in bed next to an ex-wife after a night of Tequila shots and hard liquor.... oh wait..u meant in game... uhm... yea that too :D

[dlsidhe]

Testing out Frenzy on my first Barb by bludgeoning the training dummy. Get down to 10-14hp from the vicious effect when the dummy breaks...

...then rage expires. Ding! Laid out on the deck of the guild airship. All ship buffs lost, including the one from the dummy. :D

[Dispel]

Alone.

[Rian]

3) you die and every1 is like "uhm how" then in party chat "wwwwwwwdsdadssdwasd"


I will remember that one when I'm dieing in quest :D

wwwwwwaaaasssssssswd111212121112123111121212ASDWSS SSSSSSS

[Rasczak]

Feather Falling into Lava that has no escape. 60 Secs where you know you're going to die but you have no valid excuse that sounds believable :D

It gives you time to type /death, and save some dignity. :)

[Emizand]

Sober!

[SensaiRyu]

Well... both are stupid...
1) a long time ago at Madstone Crater I followed someone who jumped... into a no-exit lava pit.
2) yesterday, in the Genesis Point maze - I jumped across towards the middle part of the bridge, hit something (the wierd light beam?) and died. I looked at my combat log to see what killed me and saw something like this: (Combat) You were killed by ... and saw my own name. Apparently I killed myself.
