How did you die?

[ClutchMethod]

My only death so far was on my Dwarf Con Barb. I was at the end of one of the Depths quests soloing R1. The one with the Hobgoblins. Ran in to the boss fight room and was immediately held, I ended up getting incapped. I manged to stand back up and I sprinted out the door spamming my Temp HP. At the point I started to recall I was "living" on only temp hp. When I made it out of the dungeon i was standing in house D right in front of the tavern. I can not stress enough how strained and panicked I was. Instead of entering the tavern immediately and seeking aid from the binder I sat there shaking and continuing to hit my temp HP button, frozen with fear and regret lol.

You would not believe how quickly 24 CON disappears when your as frightened as I was. I don't know if it was the rage ending or negative stacking CON debuff I was applying to myself trying to stay alive but I died at the doorstep of the tavern to CON damage.

It was incredibly embarrassing, was around 11k reaper xp and having a grand old time. 4 characters and only the one death, that I caused myself :/

[holfrar]

died on a lvl 4 cleric in Durks, saw my health was low and hit heal...nothing, oh concentration must not be good enough, run, heal....ooops, no spell points....ding.
So used to never running out on them i forgot

Was running a challenge on my WF arti. when a red named water elemental hit me hard, went to -9. forgot that WF didn't bleed out. so i was wondering why i wasn't in the death zone when i popped back up alive!!! only to be hit again to -7.
When i popped back up hit a heal spell and ran like hell, spamming heals until i was fully healed, then recalled.

That was so close.

Haven't died yet but I can tell you Amrath on elite will make your rear end pucker up.

Did you run New Invasion at Elite + ???

[Cianos_Fanas]

Did you run New Invasion at Elite + ???

Nope. Couldn't handle the stress. I was white knuckled, I tell ya!

[AlmGhandi]

Tired after a week of not sleeping well.

Rogue 1 Arti 4 banking 6 almost 7.
Waterworks 1... that room with the chest and the flame trap just past Chief Eechik… wasn't really thinking and ran into the room to search for the box. Everything went purple and my L3 Permanent Gold Seal Hireling is now not available for anyone else....

[Fedora1]

and my L3 Permanent Gold Seal Hireling is now not available for anyone else....

Yeah my L3 gold seal permahire is hanging out with my first hardcore toon in the land of lost souls too. I also used my Heroic Tome of Greater Experience on that toon. I should have just NOT used it at all, and saved it for transfer back to my main server to use on one of my alts that already has several stat tomes and a past life or two. Oh well.

[CernunnosM]

Ah, this is the other thread for this.

3 deaths.

Sigh.. yeah. Waterworks champ caster on the drop to ledge.

You'll never guess what happened this time.

https://clips.twitch.tv/SuccessfulDe...tterBigBrother

I didn't see this one because the ddo client crashed. Watching the clip, I think I see what happened but still salty about not being able to do anything about it due to crash.

[EnragedBears]

Nizzo One lvl9 dead in
The Sanctum: Quench the Flames on Elite to the Mephit horde

[PrinceMyshkin]

1. WF Artificer (probably L4) succumbed to the scorpions in Haverdasher elite. Never had any problem with the quest before so it took me by surprise.
2. L5 Rgr/Rog died to a champion rust monster in Redfang. Never had any problems with that quest before either other than a champion troll once. Lost a really nice bow one of my other characters had found.
3. L3 Rgr/Rog reroll lag death in Redemption elite. Couldn't move, attack, or heal--just had to watch my HP drain away to an iron defender. Hireling healer which could normally take out the defender on her own also died. Perhaps she chased it into the blade trap I hadn't disarmed yet. Don't really know as I wasn't getting any messages.
4. L6 Artificer killed by spikes near the end of Shaagh's. Never had that happen before and didn't realize they did over 100 damage.
5. L8 Wizard killed by champion kobold shaman in Freshen the Air. Not sure why my healer wasn't healing me.

[Garix]

Lvl 7 Dragonborn Fiend Warlock. Part 5 of Splinterskull on Elite. Far too slow in recognising a Flame champion Brown Spider Prince at the entrance.

Frankly I'm getting embarrassed by my performances on the HCS

[Fivetigers33]

Hopeslayer died last night.

I wasn't killed by a trap. A reaper didn't get me, it wasn't a champ or lag. It was being in a quest alone because the community in general is too scared to run reaper. The boss in VoN 1 danced me. It was almost dead, I had solo destroyed the rest of the quest, but danced for 9 seconds with a troll boss on R2 was the end of the line.

It makes me really sad because the game is not hard and with just 1 other player in the group, it would have been a sure victory. But no matter how good you are, when you are soloing, rolling a 1 can be the end.

[Zergharder]

Lvl 8 wizard doing chamber of insanity on r1. Coastedl until the end fight then got proton torpedoed by the boss. I was well over 200 hp to start although not at max hp. Base 197 in reaper plus false ife, aid, and mass aid. One hit took me to 55. I saw the writing on the wall. Hireling hesitant to heal then purple haze. Don't even know what hit me. It might have been 5 seconds from when i started the fight.

Carelessness will cost you everthing. I usually have my cleric and my skelly blocking the door but the spectre homie dont play that. I usually have aoes laid down and i didn't. I usually equip a false life wand to whip if needed and i didnt. Just a brain fart not following my own protocol. Went in guns blazing then realized it was a mistake and retreated in panic.

If i would have laid a firewall at the door and stayed there i probly would have made it.

Ate a visor and some decent lootgen. Luckily had already dropped mithral plate from 3bc and 2 skill tomes in the bank.

A crushing defeat and entirely my fault. The first time i wasn't careful i was toast. A bigly tactical error. Cannot summon block a spectre. My next man up is only lvl 3. Can we start with some visors devs? I'd rather marry my ex wife than run tangleroot without a visor guarantee.

****ed as hell. Level 14, 2100 favor, died to some BS scaling. I knew Black and Blue was a newer quest so I ran it on hard at 14instwad of elite like every other quest I had completed up to that level. Black dragon hits me with a DoT that does 350 damage a tick, after going through 22% dr from mrr, 10% more dr from barbarian, and 32 acid resist after that. A level 10 hard quest has a fricken DoT that does around 520 damage PER TICK?

I was with you in that Matt, and it almost totaled me as well. Unfortunately i used all my LOH keeping myself alive from the dots I got even though the boss was facing you and not me.
Once the dragon was dead I just got to sadly sit there and watch you die as there was nothing I could do to help.

[Theolin]

I hope you got your L20 reward before dying?

[SynalonEtuul]

Just died, level 9 wiz. Was soloing Delera's pt2 on elite. The quest was going fine; none of the mobs were any threat. Went for the shrine behind Omaren Sniper and the jet of acid came out, knocked me down to 60% so I jumped back, put death aura on and cast protection from energy: acid (already had resist). Assuming there was just the one jet, I jumped over and started to loot the chest, and the second jet got me. Very foolish...

God I can't stand the thought of doing every level 1-5 quest on elite again ;__;

[Silverleafeon]

A level 24 died today...sympathy...


Also one of our own from the Open Guild for All died at 17 (I think, it was high)...so many names to purge...


...and another level 17 from open guild dies...I wonder what is killing these level 17s?
What peril lies therein?

Ah, I remember that one trap very well...there are actually four jets there.


By the time the hardcore league is over there will be cheers for the new upcoming Old School module adventure pack.
