Depressing Death?

[Samoa]

Yet the most depressing death is the meaningless one and the whole time you were doing what led to your death you fucking knew better than to be doing it.  But you were bored or feeling lucky or just wanted to give your pc something to brag about.

"Huh, how come this noble invited me over to the estate like usual, but this time he's wearing a full head and face helm? Well... he probably just forgot to take it off, I'll just pretend like he doesn't have it on since it's probably a mistake."

[Zoan]

About 90% of my deaths occur in the Windy Plains. Depressing.

[Voular]

I've been nooblared plenty of times. But being killed up north by a noob-templar with my longest lived PC sucked donkey. Mostly because my PC had been vetted by other Templars. Then someone walked up to my PC and was like "don't like ya, gonna die!" (more or less). Was a bit depressing.

Maxxed mage who managed to get to an otherwise impossible-to-reach place, looted/explored the area, then......failed to check exits and exited zone out of a window 5 floors above the ground....fell to an ignoble and utterly depressing death.

9 out 10 depressing deaths happen due to the player's own stupidity or lack of attention.

Arm BroTip #1217:
Don't assume your idling hours when your brain is half-dead, will not lead to your PC's demise.

I'm constantly terrified of that window.

This has happened to me TWICE:

Being idle as a mage for a long time and then casting a spell... only to remember that I was in the middle of Red Storm.  Instant death.

Twice.

[X-D]

I've done it and not died...still scary.

think (irl) Well, time to go meet Amos.

Luckily all the times I've done it, who shows like 3 people online.

Depressing death #539
Forgetting to remove alias's between characters. Walking into the bar with a brand new pc and uttering meaningless incantations. He was murdered later by one of the pc's in the bar, I can assume why they might have been motivated. Despite my pc being guild pickpocket.

Depressing death # 842
Same-clan npc gankage from code whoops.

Depressing death # 1032
think Just killed all those kryl, wow. Guess I better have a seat and regen some stamina. No need to draw weapons, I'll just kick back and relax.

A kryl respawns silently
A kryl respawns silently
A kryl respawns silently
A kryl respawns silently

beep.

[MeTekillot]

I don't know if it's depressing since it got me into my current character, but there's the

"i've killed thousands of these things after a failed bash. besides, this is one of the weaker one"
some fuck-head kryl proceeds to melt your face with acid oh sheesh you're blind and poisoned guess it mighta been a good idea to actually get your mount huh?

oh hey that kryl from earlier? yeah he found you when you fleed. he melted your face with acid again. you feel talons ripping into your flesh

oh, hey, me again. you know that kryl from earlier? yeah, acid again.

it's uh, me again. that kr-okay. i'll come back later.

*BEEP*

[Pale Horse]

Lost many a character from the omnipotent tracking abilities of the critters in game.  Probably the deaths I hate the most.

[Bacon]

Every death from an npc's uber bashing. Nothing pisses me off more than:

Big nasty enters room and instantly bashes you to the ground, leaving you to lie there long enough for it to reel lock you and kill you before you even get a chance to try and run away.

Some npc beasts really don't need to be able to bash. They're already dangerous enough as it is and npc bash is always wonky. It's worse when reel is involved.

Depressing death #32

Necker arrow: perrean

Ridding out to kill some mob critter, arrow, stiffness, blow to the head, *beep*

I almost did that. I get really wary of being sleepy/thirsty while playing when its a nonmundane because... you know... I don't want to blow up Luir's, and I make a lot of mistakes when I'm sleepy or thirsty. Those mistakes now count for about half my stupid my-fault deaths; the other half are, I think I know better, even though there's a chance I don't, so I'm going to try to do this dangerous thing that killed me a few months ago because I can make it now! Yeah. Yeah, there is nothing that guarentees you'll make it through the road between Luir's and Allanak unless you have a really good trained escort. Nothing. Even then, some sorceror might think you look really pretty.

[Gunnerblaster]

Depressing death:
Getting reel-locked due to twink-bashing from a certain NPC with antlers.

Bashes me to the ground? No problem. I'll get up and flee.

Bashes me again, before I can even stand up, knocking me into another room? Huh, this isn't going well.

Bashes me - yet a fucking 'gain - while I'm still sitting on the ground, reel-locked from the 2x bash lags, now including a third.

So I basically sit there and get knocked around until one of two happens 1.) I get knocked unconscious or 2.) it finally kills me.

Sharak.

*edited*

Of course, if I'd have gotten a half a chance.. I'd have probably managed to get free again and who knows -how- things may've turned out...

*edit* self.
apparently some things are better left long dead.  *shrug*

Sharak was slippery.  I tried to kill him on numerous occasions.  I'm sorry the death he eventually met was depressing.


My depressing deaths: Any death to an NPC.

Tips I've learned from friends:
Never go afk in the grasslands;  Bahamets will find you and eat you. 
As a mage, always check to see what room you're in after coming back from afk; standing and casting magick at the bar is a quick way to die.

in the real world, humans are the only creatures intelligent enough to actually recognize tracks for what they are, according to the BBC ten years ago.

zalanthas is scary shit

[AreteX]

Damn, Zalanthas, YOU SCARY!

I don't think I have had many depressing deaths.  Most of the situations where I died I was expecting it, or knew that it was probably going to happen.  I did have one time I died to a shank in the back without any foreplay first, but you know, sometimes that happens and I got over it eventually.

I have however had a few depressing lives with characters.  Ideas that just didnt pan out, ect.

[Feco]

I like how in account notes, it says "**** (Feco) fell and died from the fall."

"**** (Feco) fell and died from the fall."

Cue ominous deep noise.

I did this once, year+ ago and nothing happened to me. The spell had no effect though, perhaps that's what triggers the crim code.

The crim code is a weird thing. You want it to be harsh so people don't gank each other in doors but it's too harsh in some places where you can't surrender and deal with a staff or PC later to be released.

[SandMiser]

As always - bad choices on my (and not my character's) part.  Either not thinking or thinking wrongly.

[wildhalfling]

I played a halfling for about 2 real life years. Over 30 days time played. He escaped so many deaths that I lost track. Escaped death to other npc halflings due to some crazy code issue. Lived through multiple NPC near death encounters due to thinking he was more uber than he was. Narrowly escaped so many deaths to PC's, some uber PC's I might add, and Tuluki hunting parties and mobs of soldiers trying to retrieve one of their friends that was dragged deep into the forest by my halfling after he was paralyzed (Wow..no idea how my halfling survived that.) Lived through some great events set up by PC's, Imm sponsered events and other strange occurances. PK'd lots of PC's...around 20 or more when I absolutely had to (Being in character and always having a reason to do so...while even letting more people live when they should probably have been killed, but it was better for them to live and tell the story to spark more events. Made sure I always tried to give them some good RP before they died to make it cool.)

Ended up taking a break for a few months. Came back and played for about a week and ended up running into three half-giants. Tried to RP but got insta-bashed when they entered the room. Three skilled half-giants while bashed....*BEEP*

Got Kudos though stating they thought my guy was a NPC and they would have RP'd had they known.
