Cause of demise: After we'd topped off the ladder the first night of Season 5, we were screwing around doing some Baal Runs, there was a miscommunication and I backed away from a set of Champ Dolls/FE Boss and threw a Javelin, not seeing that CTA-Rockstar was sandwiched between the aforementioned exploding baddies. RIP Rockstar, the greatest port char it's ever been my honor to run with.

Not Technically my Character, but seeing as I ran with it for 15+ hours and I was the cause of it's death I feel I can post here. She is the highest level dead character on EHCL at the time of this post and certainly deserves to christen the new deeds thread.

Corpse looted: no
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise:
The lamest anti-climatic death ever. I'm running yet another countess run searching for the mad lootz . I ran to about level 3 when I came upon this large zombie minion pack just itching to eat my brains. In that minion pack of rotting flesh there was Unq. boss zombie that was stone skin and Cold enchanted, fire enchanted. After making short work of the bosses' minions it was down to he and I and about 10 skelly warriors with a mighty fire-golem.

After several mins of waiting for my horde to batter this chump down, I noticed he was about to pop. I then back up and KABLAAM! , I guess I wasn't quite far enough, the Cold enchanted nova ring just barely kissed me however having only 650 life and -50's res it was DEEDS.

I just made insight for the merc, had a tal's helm on him and I was rocking out a wormskull and perfect dr gerke's. :alright:


I did get a few mf runs in, so the replacement is started. I reached #25 on necro ladder.

I am now working on a Leap attack barb.

Cause of demise: Finishing up the last half of Act 3 while battling an incessant stream of lag spikes. I should have made a new game once I picked up the Durance 2 waypoint, but eager to finish Meph, I headed on. I dispatched the first pack of blood lords on Durance 3 and then the first 2 of Bremm's minions. I thought I had my blizzard locked onto Bremm at the edge of the screen, but soon realized that I had been hit with yet another lag spike as my comp caught up with Bnet and I heard my scream and saw the Deeds screen.

Cause of demise: I was glitch dropping NM Mephisto in random games, when I messed it up. The council member at the right side of the moat if you know what I mean screwed everything up. I had to do an escape tele at the other side of the moat where Mephisto obviously was waiting so I tele'd back, and finally managed to kill that council member. Suddenly I hear Mephisto laughing, he had managed to get to the other side of he moat! He shot a blizz at me, I hit a healing pot (no juvs dammit) when he do another blizz.. I ended up dead. I guess a good old S&E would have saved everything, but o' well. RIP ThePerfectSLave, who was my only char at USEast. Gotta make a new USEaster though, thats for sure!

My first char in a long time in Diablo was happy with him as well. Cause of death well......a combination of bad luck explains it best i think.

2 days ago I was trying out hell difficulty, felt good to was making progress in the dark tower going for Countess. Then it happen, on the last flour and I get some of the dam demons with cold aura and one from the other side spewing out lightning. My skellies went to work ofc and was like hell indeed in that room, but i was surviving dodging lightning bullets like a pro dancer. Out of no were the random factor comes in my bloody IKEA table collapses, keyboard on the flour and me like a living question mark starring at it…. 2 sec later bam I am dead.
Don’t know who I am going to blame them for the table or me who put the thing together (probably my fault but it feels better to blame them:thumbup:).

I was cruising through NM pretty easily, clearing act 2, 3, and first two quests in 4. Then I went to do Chaos Sanctuary. Cleared out the left seal easily, but when I got to the top seal I hit a lag spike right after I tp'd to heal up. Figured that was it for the lag so I finished off that group when I came back into the game, then headed to the right seals. Well, as luck would have it, right after I hit the seal for the Infector my internet dropped. Logged back in to see my ghost. :(

Not sure what character I'm going to make now, but I will be a lot more careful next time some lag spikes come my way.

Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise: I was just starting to first drop NM Meph and was still afraid to be there. I was fully clearing Durance 3 so that I'd have room to maneuver in case things got messy while fighting Meph. Was fighting one of the council members in the side rooms when things started to get hot behind me (vampires). In an attempt to teleport out of the room I managed to make a stop next to the fe council member as, I assume, a stray shard finished him off... splat goes the sorceress. I knew as I pressed the teleport button down that I had picked a poor direction to make good my retreat, but by then it was too late. Not much skin off my nose, but it would have been nice if I'd managed to get in more then 2 meph runs before I erased her... perhaps next time.

Cause of demise: Just chilling in act2 rockey waste with an ample army of skellies, my might merc and golem. Encountered a lot of those nasty lighting beetles, good thing I had nearly max lighting res and 700hp. I was blindy spamming Amp and CE, mowing down everything and didn't notice the cold enhanced champion. He kicked the bucket with one of my well placed CE and he frost nova'ed taking me with him. One hit kill. Who would have thought you needed lots of cold res in Act 2? Not me, obviously:whistling:

Anyway got down to the chamber static'ed him to half health and emilio died in 2 hits. Tried to tp back but Duriel got on top of me fast. Hit me once knocked me down to half health and interrupted my tp cast. Tried to S&E, hit esc mouse slipped and mashed the left mouse button. Saw the video options screen and knew I was done.

Cause of demise: S/E during a lag spike (i.e. I could hear dolls nearby, but neither them nor my merc were moving, and I couldn't Teleport) on my way to Meph on my 220th run. Tried to create another game after returning to channel and got FTJ. Escaped back to account screen and found that I had a temp restriction. Decided to let things chill out for a while.

Cause of demise: Impatience and utter stupidity. Been a grind leveling up my two first S5 characters, and finally got to the point where I'm just about to do NM Forge. Had gotten the City waypoint but did not see Izzy on my way (wasn't doing a total clearing because again, I was in a hurry to get to NM forge). So I decided to double back and hit Izzy before I went ahead onto River. Got overwhelmed by a bunch of nasty Gloams and died a very quick death. Thanks to TheDarkSide for helping me loot. Been quite a while since I had a death I probably needed a reminder. I was playing WAY too recklessly.

Corpse looted: No (ouch)
Death type: PvM

Cause of Demise: I'm a complete moron. I absolutey dominated all of act 2 and 3 NM, but last night because I was bored of andy runs and still afraid of oblivion knights too much for act 4, I decided to do some tomb runs. Since I tore everything apart so quickly with whirlwind, I didn't see the danger in whirlwinding into a gold-chest room with three mini bosses (one scarab, two Hollow Ones). The worst part about it was that I didn't even die immediately. I was amp'd, my health dropped to 1/3, and I was just leaving the room and about to save+exit when my merc poked the scarab boss just enough times for the lightning to drop me for good. When you have the opportunity to save+exit, you should do it!

Lessons: Defiance merc>Might merc for HC when you don't have a shield, and the most painful lesson by far was don't immediately leave when you die even if you're upset!

She was a beautiful cannon of destruction who finally ran against the rocks while running, balls first, through the claustrophobic tunnels of the maggot lair. I think I desynched when I accidentally ran into MyK, as my attackers were of the invisible, nowhere near me, variety. My health starting dropping fast to the crisp crackle of electric beetles. Like a schizophrenic who has taken a bottle of Dexedrine, I flailed with vivactiy in the general direction of my invisible enemies, but it was all in vain.

I thought my original TP was far enough away from the mob when I left the first time... I got 1 act and 2 levels higher than my 1st HC character. Hopefully the 3rd time will be a charm :)

Copped it running Hell Countess for runes. Three very nice uniques and their packs waiting to welcome me at the entrance to level five. My poor golem and mercenary bought the farm immediately, I played the potion keys like a retarded kid playing a xylophone, but that only prolonged my own agony for a few seconds more. To add insult to injury, the eight or so runs before had only netted me a grand total of 7 els, 2 elds and a nef... which I hadn't even muled.

C'est la vie. After a five year hiatus from the game JonesMcBones was several firsts for me. My first character for five years, my first ever hardcore character, my first necromancer, and now my first loss. On the whole, I don't think he did too badly.

Cause of demise: Cruising through the chaos sanctuary with a full party of fellows, barely avoiding death at the last seal, having just aquired my last piece of trang-oul's. Diablo kills all my minions and the others aren't handling him well so I go to get new ones. As I'm heading back south after gathering a new force, diablo follows a fleeing member north. As I see him, without thinking, I left-click and my nec bravely rushes up to engage the lord of terror in a one on one melee to the death. You can guess who won. The sad part is, my corpse was looted and I jhad all my gear returned to me in a new game. Then, as my new nec got to the burial grounds in act 1 I got up from the computer and walked to the door to let the cat out. As I returned I found that a zombie had limped over to my corpse and done me in for the second time. No recovered gear for me, I guess.

BO's myself - E-shield up, tele'd down no sweat, clicked stairs to visit nilly. Dead, just dead, insta-death i call it. Stair trap with LOTS of aura'd snakes, no chance of tele..... nothing just super fast death. Maybe a hint of tiny lag there but not a thing I could do, am totally gutted. :weep:

She had my best items, Anni gone, Charms gone, 6 keys gone (had the keyset dammit!), Merc was decked out too.

Picked myself up and started a hammerdin for revenge!! God damn it D2 if your bugged with overpowered insane damage snakes! meet my hammer!!! :evil::evil:

The day started all well with my first decent uniq from Pindle ( Thundergods )
And i was in the game with Daeri and started a new pindlerun i entered the portal did all the usual stuff advanced to pindle and then i saw he 1 shotted my merc. But i still wanted to kill them so i got back to town rehired merc and went again then i got amp dmg on me and got 2 hitted by one of his followers. I just should have known it was too dangerous when my merc got killed twice but. Happily Daeri was in and i called some friends to help him clear the spot so they could loot me. Although i lost the thundergods and a mal rune :(
It was a real fun char and i almost made it to the Assa ladder :(

Thanks again to Dany , Daeri and Joker

Cause of Demise:
Dunno really. Something dropped me to like 20 HP's in a single go (from 430, had ES on but that took only 25% damage). It was one of Flamespike's little brothers that did the final deed (MS/ES even), but I suspect the real cuplrit was an FE boss that died to my first Orb (didnt even see it, only saw a different color amongst the stuff that died). I saw my HP's drop, thought "maybe I should pop a juve here.." and the next instant... *gunk* ... within ten seconds of hitting the WP I was dead.

Ankeli was so kind as to trample the little bugger into the ground. Alas... well... at least she didnt have any gear worth mentioning, so that's ok :) But its a shame of the Lovely_Lydia's Chainmail with Stealth in it.

My sorc was doing great all the way to this very moment and together with the gausscommunity we had done tons of baalruns. Anyways, it happened at the same time as the Lister pack spawned. Was picking up an item where the minions spawn to then go back, but right when i was about to teleport back the antivirus poppup shows up and tabbed down the game. The char was standing a little to the left so i thought i could manage to S&E before she got deeds. Well, she died at the same time as i saw the game screen.

Had an eth tomb reaver and plenty of gems which i wanted to mule, but instead i kept on playing like nothing would happen. She will be rebuilt, but this time with max block instead of more hp.

Cause:
Being power acted through by a very good strafing amazon. The amazon missed one mage knight, I decided heck I have a ginther's rift, good resistence (in the 40s), and no IM is cast. All 5 of my zeal hits miss, monster casted spell on me, hit me with one of those little white fireballs Ryu-style, and I died instantly.

Pressing 1,2,3,4 repeatidly did nothing as for that splitsecond, even though I wasn't dead, the game knew I was and wouldn't let me use my purples...

Anyways, his gear as looted, and having for some reason muled 3 minutes before this event was somewhat lucky. Only real loss was perfect gems in chest and mediocre charms. Items were salvaged and on a new paladin who has escaped TPPK 4 times in 3 hours :D

So I was in this Act 1 questing game doing bloody foothills for 15 minutes or something then I decided to go see whats up in Crystalline and soon as the screen flashed to Crystalline I was dead.. some sorc was camping there all the time and with some sort of hack killed me instantly :(

Cause:
CE/LE. I had tried to solo my way through Hell A1, but my merc got murdered everywhere we went past the Dark Wood, so I decided to take it easy and get some levels in (and hopefully some items) in Stoney/Trist (little to no cold immunes :p).
Was doing fine for a couple of "runs" until we were fighting a Crow bosspack. I noticed the CE/LE so stepped WAY back, merc pops the culprit and after the CE ring was gone my health starts dropping in two HUGE chunks without a monster ANYWHERE in sight. Popped a juvie after the first one, but the second one tore me a new one.

Tbh, I'm getting pretty tired of ridiculous bugged deaths like this...

Act: 3 - Durance 3

Death type: PvM

Cause:
Getting too self-confident if not to say cocky.
I tele'd to durance 3 with no problems, as always, except that the dolls seemed a bit more agressive than usual, but with fcr and fhr i just zoomed past them. Killed meph with no problem, switching from wizzy/visc-eld (max res) to alibaba/rhyme (30-60ish re). Thought, hey lets get the chest in the back so teled there, saw a pack of bloodlords but realized too late that they were not the pesky normal kind that i just ignored and opened the chest, but champs and had a nasty aura unique boss (might/fana/ci/li/stoneskin) near :nono: . Could not tele back out probably because of stun- or block lock, and died in a split second. :hang:
It took me a full 15 minutes to fight my way to durance 3 with my summoner that had opened the game for glitching, dolls and bloodlords with bad mods everywhere. The pack that had killed my trusted sorc was really nasty, especially the unique bloodlord was very tough indeed.

So: Don't tele back to that chest without checking out those bloodlords first, normally they are just a nuisance, but with the right mods you are in deep trouble. Or, program yourself to use tk more for such things :scratchhead:

Cause:
Had a sudden idea with my brother that we could solo hell cows to get socketed items, gems, skillers etc. We had almost cleared the cow level and I attempted quick tele through the map. Merc within we had defiance and meditation aura on. All of a sudden I teleported into a horde of cows, 18-25 of them as I can recall and cows had no problem with taking me down. It took them half a second to smash me with their axes.

I suggest NOT to tele too harshly in cow level especially if you have recently mf'ed a stash full of items.

We were doing Diablo runs, my team ( of 4) were doing well, one of my partners retreated becuase of low health, then another did.
It was just me and my final partner. (A Hammerdin) Diablo used that horrible thunder attack, at that point some losers decided to go hostile towards us, my partner went off to attack them, he would have come back soon, I only had to defend myself for 30 seconds, but then Diablo hits me and my health drops to critical, I was sweating I tried running away, but it just caught me with its thunder attack.
I died, crestfallen, my partner finished off the two guys and managed to kill Diablo, he died 2 days later in act 5 becuase of of some giant things.
And my two other friends are still surviving, once they kill Baal and get higher up in the ladder, us 4 will start again, and hopefully get to the end together.

Cause of demise:
First off, this post sadly sounds like Peresvet's . . . This character was a rebuild of my previous orb/tk sorceress and was even better than before (more life, more fcr, more fhr, etc). I had just finished questing in Hell the day before and was ready to start mfing in earnest. I was running Mephisto and the Summoner with no problems and finding some very nice things when while teleing the arcane sanctuary my fps dropped to about 1 and I then got booted out of the game to the Desktop to find AVG telling me that it had found a threat. I tried to close the game but it was not responding . . . the cpu was expending all its energy on AVG's behalf. When I logged on I was greeted by a dead sorc . . . how lame. (If anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent this sort of occurance please stick a comment in the sincere condolances:thumbup:)

Im POSITIVE I got out on time, but when I logged back in my character was invisible (although I could still see him in the chat channel), no ghost animation. It seems as this is a bug. When you exit a game via AltF4 and die, it corrupts the game file that makes the ghost animation. Still dead tho...

Cause of Demise: As a first hardcore character above level 50 I felt confident that my 75 resist all, 75% block, 10% DR and 1500 life would take care of most potential threat and surely enough, it did. Until I met an extra strong Undead Stygian Doll boss. I was very cautious about encountering these dolls (for obvious reasons) so I made great use of my merc by running into a pack, leaving the merc there, and then run back to safety. Due to the insanely intelligent AI, apparently my merc was stuck in the last room, so when I saw the boss and began running back, he teleported out of nowhere, and made mashed potatoes of the doll - the rest you can guess I'm sure...

At this time my wife comes out of the bedroom and asks me to help her move the bed and starts ranting about picking up dry cleaning, how I left the dog outside in the rain, ect. ect. ect. BAM, my merc falls instantly and the next thing I know = Deeds.

I was amp'd and hit simultaneouslly by at least 3 of them, useless sheild didn't do a thing. With all my equipment and Fade, I had close to 50% pdr at the time and 1.5k life...hell ubers couldn't even kill me.

Character level: 88
Character class: Barbarian
Character build: Singer/Frenzier
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: Baal's Throne Room
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvMOS (Player vs My Own Stupidity)


Cause of demise: Well the good news was I horked a Mav's Diadem on the way to the throne room. Bad news is I got careless at the council wave of Baal's minions and got Deeds. Unmitigated careless play. Normally will always un-poison myself after the 2nd wave, but didn't this time and got 2-shotted for a total of 4.7K life. The first one took me down to about 2/3 life and then Brim popped and finished me off. Irony of it was that I've been glitching Baal for what seems like forever, waiting for my singer to hit 88 before I started working on my IK Barb (not even created yet). Got my MF'er (hell Baal glitcher) up to 88 on the previous run, my singer (and primary pwn'er) hit 88 on this run. Was then going to turn my full attention to making my IK Barb key runner, and of course get some keys and do Ubers with my now-dead Singer/Frenzier. Oh well, instead of making my IK Barb I'm re-making Yodel. He'll be just a little bit better this time and at least I got him looted. Funny thing is I was SO glad to be done glitching Baal and get back to doing some regular questing... well at least I got back to questing again. :)

Character name: Zotox (First iteration of many, I'm sure)
Character level: 26 (27?)
Character class: Necromancer
Character build: Fishy!
Game difficulty: Normal (kind of sad)
Act: Diablo
Corpse looted: No :\
Death type: PvM

Zotox feels kind of low for this thread, but he was my first HC character and I had high hopes that I'd have some beginner's luck and get to Hell w/ him. The fishy build seemed way overpowered too, so I thought it would be easy.

I was overconfident going into the fight w/ Diablo, because I had rolled all the other act bosses w/o losing a single skellie, but then I go in and Diablo red lightnings all 10 of my skellies right off the bat, and after the 4th trip to restock them I was standing on the fringe decrepifying Diablo when he red lightning's one of my skellies and I thought I was out of range and I caught the tip of it for a full second and died.

Things I've learned from my first death:
-Don't be overconfident going into any situation... stay cautious
-Get lightning immunity, asap
-Don't play tired at 1:40 AM and expect to be able to react in time to save your life

I'm kind of sad about losing a 29% MF Nagelring that dropped off a unique in the Palace Cellars... along with a couple other uniques and about 5 set pieces on my body/in my stash. Oh well, die and learn :)

Gahhh! This was my first (and highest level) char since I started back playing again in July. I'm on west so I just play solo on HCL and had gotten a Gheed's, Natalya's boots, and a few other nice items. I decided to move on to Act V so I thought I'd give ol Diablo a shot...Lightning hose took me down faster than I thought it would. >< At least I had muled my Um rune before she died.

Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise: One of those WTF moments. I was slowly working my up the hill, taunting the burning dead archers. I was taking damage and ofc the archers are not leachable, so I had to hit a pot every 5-10 sec. I never let my life blub get below 2/3, about 1200 after BO, which I just renewed. Then wham life drops to 100, juv, wham down to 100 again then some stupid bird hits me before I could pot and it's deeds. He never saw it coming.

I had a lot of fun with this guy, he will be rebuilt.

Character build: Fishy...
Game difficulty: NM
Act: V
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM

I did about a dozen baal runs with some helpful banana's today, and it took me from 59-66. I grabbed the unique mageplate and the shako off my mule (given to me generously by bananas) and was doing one last solo run of baal to test out the increased MF on the new gear. Unfortunately, the tradeoff for the +skills and +mf was about 50% less lightning resist (from the rares I replaced). I was sitting at about 30 lightning resist... and I was running through worldstone keep level 2. I was caught in a very thin corridor when I ran into a pack of those lightning spirits with the charged bolts. I got hit with a full barrage, which dropped me almost to nothing, I spammed my full rejuv potions and tried to backpedal out of the corridor but I got hit so quickly I couldn't even move... just frozen in place taking hit after hit... and BAM.

I'm going to postpone build number 3 for a while. I'm a little frustrated right now.

I'm definitely still looking forward to ESUv2 though :)

[coldsong]

well i dont have any recent deaths, but here is one from a month ago.. I have made 4 sorcs and had to leave on a trip, but one died just before it, and I said screw it and deleted all my characters (including a lvl 90 one). Oh well, I always had more fun starting out then grinding it through.

We were battling our way towards Duriel in the Tomb during our weekly KTA session. Only three were present, namely a singer barb, a bonemancer and my Conviction Avenger pally.

I noticed the boss being FE/CE so I immediately types a warning message, but while I was typing the Bonemancer Shift-Click Bonespirited him, and me, to death.

Logging onto my account i have a feeling something is bad, and i notice 2 missed calls from my friend who also plays d2. My sorc is deleted and in its place a lvl 25...so what is going on. I call my friend who tells me the story..

He was running another friend through normal baal runs on my sorc when he gets TPPKed, i'm not sure whats worse 'my first TPPK' death or the fact i did nothing wrong. I thought the reason having friends that you can trust enough with a password is that you don't have to risk those awful pubs.

Cause of demise: I went into the Drifter cavern, just looking for stuff. The layout was typical, the entrance was at 2o'clock, the narrow path heading S/E with the big island/peninsula in center. First encounter, ice rouges, no problem, DV, BP, amp, attract, revive, business as usual. I notice some heat (arrows) coming from the island. No biggie, I have at few mages and archer revives, I'll pick them off.

I DV, then prowl the edge to see what kind of boss types might be over there. I see two blood-lord bosses, both PI, one might enchanted. The arrows are still coming, not many of them though, it must be some random rogues, out of my DV range. (Wrong your DV is over 16 yards) I attract and wait for a body. That isn't happening fast enough for me so I amp. Deeds in a heartbeat. There must have been an archer pack behind the blood-lords.

I blew it, I could have easily locked up everything in sight with bone prison. This would have blocked the archers also. RIP Yogi, you will be back.

Details ---> Im so P.O. right now about my deeds tonight I had to join Shaharris game afterwards with my Zerker Barb and rape and pilage the Hell Chaos Sanctuary with him to get my revenge for my sins deeds ...

Anyways - I was clearing out the Santuary with my Sin in Nm and got to The Infector of Souls .. I think my BO had run out as my Merc went down as soon as I popped the seal . I ran back and Juv'ed twice as they were about to take out my Shadow Master and I was at half life . My wife meanwhile was surfing the internet on my other computer and must have lagged me out because my life dropped to ZERO and I tried to save and exit ..

No such luck and I relogged to see a ghost in the channel .. Sad thing was I had 2 other characters in game that were allied with me that could have looted my corpse . I paniked and lost it all . Ahh well such is the HC life and I will rise again .....

Cause of demise -- I decided I had to have the Wp between the Crystal Passage and the Ancients Way . So instead of loggin on with one of my 3 cd keys and giving the wp from another charater I decided to walk . All was fine until I came around a corner and ran into a pack of Might enchanted vipers with a Fanatical enchanted rogue archer pack following behind them . Death came before I even saw what happened .. Sadly I had over 4100 life but something hit me << HARD >>.. Even sadder I didnt get loot because I didnt have my other computer online or fast user switching on my main computer online either ..

2 DEEDs tales in 2 weeks and on the same page , GRR . Not too upset really as I had messed up some stats as I had different end game gear chosen before getting a better set up .. Back to level 21 on the rebuild ...

Cause of Demise - to quote Metallica " No remorse , No repent , we dont care what it meant .. Another Day , another Death , another sorrow another breath " .

LMAO - well well , it seems I win the award for the most deaths in one month as this is my 3rd deeds post in a month ..

I was heading to Anya with my new sorc . She was a rebuild of my level 89 magic finder that had bad stats and skills placement . I stopped to talk to my son about his homework for a second and apparactly my BO expired . As I went to teleport over the wall to where Anya was I landed right in the middle of Frozensteins pack .. Of course he was Mana Burn and I think fanat enchanted as he was hitting me hard . I managed to consume 3 juvs but he stunlocked me and I couldnt even teleport away . I eventually succummed to his omnipotence and got my latest deeds screen . Lucky for me I had a looter in game so I got my stuff back . Im more upset over all my charms that I lost though .. I had 5 or 6 , +17 to life or better smalls and 5 or 6 , 5 %, 6% , 7% MF small charms .. As well as a nice 15 all resits / 20 life Gc .. Im glad I hadnt transferred my Anni that I got last weekend over to her yet or Id be really PO !!!

Cause of demise: My PC is old and locks up sometimes (generally it's related to "Windows Update"), and usually it's accompanied by the VRROOMMM of the fan as it speeds up, because it doesn't know what's going on.

Today it happened about 0.5 seconds after I took the stair down to the Throne room. I heard the teleport sound once, didn't move at all, and then the fan went VRRRROOOOOMMM!!! and I thought, "****, this is the one that's gonna get me". As I was reaching for the reset button I heard "clank" as she blocked a blow from a monster that I couldn't see. By the time I turned to my laptop (was also in the game, with my Barb), she was dead, and "dropped due to timeout" promptly after that.

So far, the ladder (http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp52/Hp_Sauce/Random%20D2/woops.jpg) still thinks she's alive... so no closure at all.

Death type: PvM

Cause of demise: I was teleporting just another baal run when the house phone rings, i know it can sometimes cut the connection so i quickly save and exit. I whispered the others (/f m) saying i was on the phone and would be right back. Ended the phonecall 10 seconds later and rejoined; got failed to join game. Glanced down in the channel to see i was robed. I can only assume the phone ringing did lag the line for just enough time to get me as those in game said i died then almost immediately timed out.

Went back to the death site to see a conviction snake pack. Still surprised they got me, i was pretty stacked and had barb BO. Lost some nice items, perfect sorc torch, 20/15/10 annihilus, perfect maras, cold skillers w/ life amongst other things i'd collected. Really not too fussed about the items though, losing a level 97.5 char is brutal.

So i guess that marks the end of my bid for a 99 hardcore character before Diablo 3, because i don't really feel like remaking!

Special shoutout to Spawn_Wretched who levelled with me nearly the whole way and lost his 97 necro about a week ago, crazy bastard has rerolled though, good luck Spawn!

Cause of demise: Was breezing through some nm meph runs, fresh off finding an occy. Thought I'd see if my lucky streak would continue, was teleporting through durance...turns out there is a mini boss pack of dolls that spawned in a corner of a room. I teleported into the middle of this pack and stupidly cast a fireball instead of just trying to tele out and next thing I know it was deeds, despite having 950 hp and max resists...too many doll bodies exploded directly on me. Was careless. Oh well, friend helped me make a lvl 63 blizz sorc to replace her in no time.

Cause of demise: Popped into a duel game to watch some high levels duke it out. Being a Powerful summoner it was entertaining to have people spar the bear. This was a powerful character in play, but as his life was low (about 1K) he was somewhat fragile and required attention to monster mods.(which kept things interesting)

Fissure was great with summons for pi's and some aoe added damage. The Fire Hunter is my favorite druid build.

A maxed TK, 50%+ block and 2k+ life wasn't enough for her to survive the blow. Fortunately i didn't lose much of value on her, but i'm not sure if i will give it another try and make a new baalchar.

Without the help from the gaussmembers she wouldn't have come this far on the ladder so a big thanks to you guys!

Big mistake. 4-5 other dolls runned into me at the same time as i throwed the LF. They all popped at the same time so i had no time to react.
Since i won't have much time to play the following weeks i'm not sure if i'll continue to play before the reset.

Was being careless and sloppy in my play. Was helping Ivan out with his new sorc's HF (turned out to be an Ist, lol, typical of end of season play!) Merc went down from a cursed fanaticism bosspack, went to town, got merc, didn't heal curse, thought, "Hey, I have most of my life bulb", walked up to a Corpse Spitter boss pack which looked harmless but a might aura bosspack was just off screen and the extra strong pimpslap I got shocked me into movement, as I wasn't attacking, just standing around and was smoking in RL, but it was too late...a one hit KO! Not all bad, as the guys looted my full Tals and I donated it to Ivan's sorc...
If it wasn't the end of the season I would have been waaaaay more careful...and also bothered about the plethora of 7% mf sc's and the 20, 19 and 18 sc lifers I had, oh and a near perfect Gheeds...but meh...care not!

I rarely die in hardcore. Rarely. And when I do, its always epic, like Multishot Conviction gloams or something. But tonight was a low night for me.

[MrBill]

Character name: HelloStupid
Character level: 79
Character class: Druid
Character build: Dual-Tree Elemental (Tornado / Fissure) / Summoner
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 3 (substantially less than one screen from Durance of Hate 2 Waypoint)
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvM

This was my first Hardcore PvM high level death in more than a year and it was one of those D2 encounters that you end up just shaking your head at.

Situation : As it is almost Father's Day, my wife had decided to do me the "favor" of running one of my other characters (my Level 86 Hydra / Orb Sorceress) to help "HelloStupid" get through Durance of Hate and past Mephisto. We had the game all set up and were going nicely when a bunch of people that she "forgot that she had invited over for a party" showed up at the door, so we had to abort that D2 session and re-start about 2 hours later, when everyone had left.

What a bad decision that turned out to be.

When we started the new session, my wife was playing the Sorceress and I was playing the Druid.

Now before I tell you what happened, first let me give you a flavor for what kind of party we had:

Sorceress : Level 86, 850 life, 60% block, Level 12 or so ES, 880 point Hydras, 330 point Orb (@ -75% Cold Resist), resists from 60 to 75% across the board.

Sorceress Merc : Level 86 Act 2 Prayer (with Insight Meditation synergy), heals about 35-40 points per second, 2,000 life, 75% across the board resists, -15% PDR via Treachery, does 1,024-3,000 damage max per hit.

Druid : Level 79, 2,100 life (with Oak Sage up), 50% block, 650 point Cyclone Armor, 900 point Hurricane, 1300 point Tornado, 240 point Fissure, resists from 50 to 75% across the board.

Druid Merc : Level 79 Act 2 Might (with Bonehew... or at least he had it, before... :weep:), 3,650 life (with Oak Sage up), 75% across the board resists, -15% PDR via Treachery, does 1,250-3,700 damage max per hit.

Druid Grizzly : Level 21 with pre-buff, at least 4,000 life (with Oak Sage up), does (probably) about 2,000 damage per swipe.

Plus Oak Sage, Carrion Vine and 5 Ravens. All melee party members were Enchanted for about +150% AR, +200 Fire damage per hit.

So we all get ready, then go down to the Durance 2 Waypoint. We hadn't advanced so much as a half screen from the Waypoint, when we see barreling at us, a pack of 8 or more Might aura Urdars. :shocked: (At this point, I had been slowly advancing, and both Mercs, plus the Grizzly, were in front of me; my wife's Sorceress was slightly behind me.) Both Mercs go down in no more than 2 hits each (may have been one), followed about a second later by the Grizzly.

Needless to say I call a retreat, but it's too late. These Urdars have rocketed across the screen, and one of them (I am positive that Oak was still up at this point) hits me, I block. My wife Teleports as far backward as possible and then Town Portals back to Kurast Docks. Urdar hits me again; Cyclone Armor and at least 1,000 of my 2,100 life vanishes instantly. I rejuve and throw a Town Portal, but the @#$!#$ Urdars have Knockback, so of course I can never get a second to throw another. :dizzy: (You have no idea how fast these monsters were. They were literally 'teleporting' all over the screen.) Finally, I get knocked back into the midst of at least 5 Urdars, including the boss (BTW: there were at least 2 bosses, but we only got a good look at one of them), and get killed in one shot right on the Durance 2 Waypoint (I was frantically hitting the rejuve hotkeys; had no effect at all).

The boss that finally did me in, had the following characteristics:

Extra Strong, Extra Fast, Might aura, Lightening Enchanted, Stone Skin, Immune to Lightening. As I mentioned, one of the other Urdars also was a boss, I didn't get a good look at him but I think I saw Fire Enchanted and Extra Strong.

For the record, my wife might have been able to have avoided this, had she thrown some Hydras out in front and then fired off an Orb or two, to slow these horrific things down. But as she wasn't that familiar with the character, its hotkeys or the strategy behind it, I can't really blame her for the fiasco.

Now this Druid had some reasonably good stuff, namely a low Skins, a nice Lore Druid hat, Magefists, Tiamat's shield, a Spirit sword, Sandstorm Trek boots, etc., I figured that I should at least try to get it back.

The problem was that the Urdar boss back was camping out on the Waypoint, or near it. So I had my wife park herself in front of the computer that I had been on, now looking at the scene through poor "HelloStupid"'s dead eyes, and I went upstairs to run D2 on my laptop and bring in my Level 86 Summoner Necro, "Mr_Hate".

The Necro had trouble finding suitable Revives, but eventually, we settled on Marauders from Act 2. I have the wife calling out the play-by-play from the basement... "are they still right at the Waypoint? Yes? OK, tell me when they move off... what's that, 'go'? Here I go!"

The instant that I get to the Waypoint, I step back to let the minions uncluster, which, thankfully, they did. Then my Necro gets his first "being hit over the head" lesson, which relieves him of 500+ of his 1,024 hit points. About 3 seconds later, down goes the 3,900 life Fire Golem. (Note that each time the Urdars hit him, they were taking, counting in the standard physical resistance of all Hell monsters, about 400% reflected damage.) Purple pill and step back further, throwing the Attract curse... a life-saver if ever there was one, since the huge pack of Urdars that was closing in on "Mr_Hate" now turns its attentions to one of their own.

One by one, I see them whack their fellow monsters into oblivion as in turn I Attract a different Urdar, finally, I have a crew of perhaps 6 remaining Marauders, plus 3 or so Revived Urdars, plus my entire army of Skeletons and Mages, plus my Act 1 Merc with Open Wounds, start whaling away at the boss. He finally expires after about a minute and a half, having destroyed nearly my whole army in the process. By the way, did I mention that most of my army had been Enchanted by the Sorceress?

Only half-rhetorically, I'd like to ask the other Forum members, "what on God's green Earth is one supposed to do, to avoid being killed by a mob like that?" Losing a Level 79 character is never fun, but it could have been worse, I could have lost a Level 86 Sorceress and, possibly, a Level 86 Necromancer, as well, I could not have been Looted, and, well, at least I didn't get TPPK'ed...

...although it kind of feels like I did. :xxx:

Grrr... "Happy Father's Day..." as if. :tombstone:

I had just managed to put together some nice runewords (duress, crescent moon) and felt like testing my new gear on hell cows. Went to tristram and she was kicking some serious ***. Griswold comes walking down, I know he was fire and cold enchanted, but I also think that he was "spectral hit, extra strong," and some more. My merc engages him, and even though he had a ton of life, GW kills him in just two hits...ouch...and before I even realised whats happened, my SM is gone too. I was tired at the moment and felt to lacy to go to town and resurrect the merc, and didnt even respawn the SM (HC - no,no). I unleash the furious DT on him and his life is just flying away (static field + CB + around 4k dmg/DT). It was so easy..."what the hell was my merc doing"...But. When GW only had like 1sec left to live, he manages to hit me and half of my life disappears in an instant. Unfortunately, I begin a new wave of kicks (DT - 5 kicks) approx. at the same time or shortly after he hits me - BAAM - corpse explosion and cold nova - RIP.

The death pisses me off, I mean its griswold Im talking about here...not pindleskin, lister or the punk snakes in act 5.

I lost some good equipment but the most sad thing is that she was a very fun character to play with, prob the most fun ive played really. Now Im building a pure kicker and soon the death of her sister will be avenged. If not the ladder reset beats her to it....

I was in a private game by myself, going to kill Izual.

I walk up the stairs to the Plains and am happy to see Izual right there. I am gratified to see that my skellies are making comparitively short work of him.

Then four Doom Knights (not unique, not fanatics or champions, just your regular run-of-the-mill Doom Knights) come onto the screen. All go for my skellies who have Izual surrounded, but at the last moment one turns and comes for me. It is the only monster close enough to hit me. All the others are at least 2/3rds of a screen away.

I'm not particularly worried as I have full hitpoints (almost 600) and my 100 hp Bone Armor is up. It hits me once and reduces me to about 100 hp. I start repeatedly hammering the Full-Rejuv button (I drank at least one, as I saw my health-globe fill) and as I'm running away from it and re-casting Bone Armor it one-hit kills me.

I just don't understand this death. According to this page:

http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Oblivion_Knight

...nightmare Doom Knights can only hit for a maximum of 98 instant damage (70 physical, 28 elemental (all my resistances were over 50%)). Yet this thing hit me only twice and did at least 500hp damage on both occasions?! :(

I'm thinking the server must have just been having a brain-explosion.

Was doing a few runs with some gaussers and I did the tele duties with this barb who was kitted (testing high end gear)
Just done a game where I ran into conviction, might and fant in the throne room and managed to clear with snakes and knights

This game I tele in to the top right corner next to baal to find 3 champion horodrim guys (they raise skellies from act 2) Forgot the names its late :P
Did not think much of it to be honest quieter than the last few runs.

I am not amped or anything no auras are visible and I have my BO - life is over 5k - switch weapons (from tele to eBOTD - SShield) just as i am surrounded and suddenly find myself with 15% life a fraction of a second later deeds - no chance of fat purple - I was shocked to see anything even make a dent in this top end gear- nigma, sol'd arreats etc etc

They (with me now dead) skuttle off at light speed to the left side of the screen (no auras showing still)
Got looted which was good - but the items that got lent to me COH (merc) nice skillers and 20 lifers are all gone - demonlimb,Bk ring etc etc

I can only assume that they got perfect rolls against me :scratchchin:

When the next thing I see is the "Your Deeds Will Be Remembered" screen. I guess he charged me and was a one shot one kill.

Act: 3, Travincal
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM

Some relaxing nighttime magic finding. Two Hell games of killing Andariel, Travincal, Mephisto, Chaos Sanctuary, Eldritch/Shenk, Pindle, Baal. Got some nice stuff (Trang Oul's Scales and some low uniques that would have worked well for my Barb), and was merrily humming along Gloams/Hell Knights be damned. Never ran into any major problems, playing it safe letting the minions take the brunt of everything. Massive corpse explosions, fun times.

Start a 3rd game, get a 15 resist/3 min damage jewel (nice!) off of Andy. Decide to run Mephisto's soulstone for the quest (put it off for a while) and get an Um rune (double bonus!). Feeling pretty good about my night, and plan on having this be my last run.

Go back to Travincal again, and brazenly run into the main room with the Council. Everything is going fine, and the council is dying pretty fast. Geleb Flamefinger is the last guy up, and he's steadily going down (Stone skin, Fire and Frost enchanted plus some other mods). I'm half paying attention, and he decides to run a bit closer to me (still about 8 yds away).

My merc pops him as he inches a bit closer, BOOM frost/corpse explosion (ack!!!!!) but it almost seems like I'm out of ran- OH CRAP. Life orb goes down to almost nothing, pauses for a sec (I should have purpled...) and I think I'm fine, then *dead*.

I stand there speechless. I honestly thought I was fine, there were no other creatures nearby, so it must have been a delayed death. I should have potted/paid more attention to where I was.

So, I lost a night's haul of MF'd gear, and the rest of all my gear (just running around by myself since US_West is practically dead for Hardcore games).

Sigh, and I still had 15 skill points I wanted to use (Maxed CE/SM/RS, and the 1pt wonders)...

[Reelix]

Character Name, Class, Level, and Realm/SP: Shaela, Amazon(Strafazon / Valkazon), 72, US-West

Location of Death: Throne Of Destruction (Nightmare)

Cause of Death: TPPK by a lvl 81 (Or 82?) Fire Sorceress

Details:

I had done a few runs with this group of people, and was told to sit in the corner (So as not to steal any loot) - I happily obliged, as I had just maxed Penetrate the game before (My third maxed skill). I'm sitting here BO'd with 2k life and 75 FR, so not too phased, when suddenly, in a single split second, the Sorc appears RIGHT next to me, vanishes in a TP, and deeds pops up, all in an instant - I didn't stand a chance... Everyone else quit as I died.

Greatest Regret: Not muelling off my full stash, which included my Buriza (I was wearing my Lyc)

Famous Last Words: Can I at least shoot into the middle? (The game before I died - I was told to sit away and leech, so I did - I did decent damage, and could baal myself though...)

What Could Have Prevented This Tragedy: Well, nothing really. As this could have happened with the same sorc was 30 levels lower, I had no hope... So, in totality, I guess what could have prevented it is not Baaling with Sorc's over 50 (Or Druids(Nado) of course, or Necromancers(Spear), or Assassins (Lightning Sentry), or Barbs(Might have double throw on alt), or Paladins(FoH / Holy Bolt), or Amazonss (Might be able to TPPK somehow))... So I guess really no public nightmare games :|

If anyone wants to know, the Sorc's account name was "Engineer."

Cause of demise: Surprise lag spike at the stairs as soon as I head down into the Halls of Vaught. As it happens, laggy sorc's are the vipers' favorite food. They just prefer to spam it with poison javelins for an hour and a half before they eat it.

Greatest regret: Deciding "just to peek" into the Halls, and knowing I'd leave as soon as I saw the first hint of vipers. Yeah, would've been nice to have that chance. So there goes the CoH, 17/16/10 anni & only arach I busted my butt to find. All self-found, not that it matters anymore.

Reaction: This is the first HC char I've had die. Surprisingly, it didn't bother me despite how much I lost. I knew better than to make an HC sorc.

Lesson learned: Don't make HC sorcs, or don't even peek into the Halls of Vaught. I'll do both from here on out.

That was the end of Medium_Rare. Maybe it's fate intervening, for me not to make it too easy. Impatient as I am I immediately made the next char Awesomassin. A trapper going for max claw block.

Just got home from work and had a little spare time before going to university (7:30am) so I decided to pick up the Frigid Highlands WP in NM. This character was rushed til Act V NM, so I just lvled in Normal for a while before moving on. All went fine and breezy until the mid part of the Bloody Foothills (right before Dac Farren). My Holy Freeze Merc engaged a pack of about 8 Spear Cats (who had already managed to hit me shortly before, and those javelins hurt), as I took shelter behind the destroyed wagon, waiting for him to freeze the whole pack, or at least most of it. He was taking heavy damage, and I hurried out of my hiding spot to cast a few Orbs to lend my poor hireling a hand. All of a sudden they decided that I looked like a more appealing target, and almost all of them targeted me. 6-8 javelins hit me at once, popping DEEDS almost instantly. Had absolutely no time to react, not even drinking a purple.

Well...rebuilding in progress, Avenging_Bruna is currently clvl 8 ;) just regret about the 4 perfect gems and some very nice low lvl set pieces (Sigon's, Hsaru's, Isenhart, Sander's) in my lost stash...

Just left my high lvls alive with their base gear on.

Had been doing some Meph/Andy runs with my charmless Tal's set Orbster and noticed a streak of baalruns going on in Gauss, so decided to join to hopefully get some levels in and raise the vitality on her, since her legit CtA had been given away as well as all her life charms.

Corpse looted: No
Death type: PK


Cause of demise: Reached level 33 by finishing ancients, then I decided to make my own baalrun server. At some point a lvl 80+ necromancer came in, and I told him to leave, and he did. Then probably some of his lvl 41 amazon friend came to server, and TPPK'd me. He said it was because I was too "paranoid" about the necromander, and wanted to get a revenge. I complimented him for killing me and left.

Act: 1
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise: I had just killed the countess and on my way from Black Marsh wp to Cathedral for Charsi's quest, when I hit a big group of fallen / archers. Things got extremely laggy while replenishing returns, and of course another pack of huntresses with a LE unique blindsides me before golem can slow them. Deeds.
This was my first serious HC character. I could not loot corpse, but almost all pgems and HRs and most usable equips were on mules, so meh. I'm now wondering if I should rebuild a Summoner or try Sorc of some kind

Cause of Demise: I wanted to run Countess to get the runes to make insight for my merc before finishing act I and she had been very stingy with the sol runes. Anyways, I got up too early, ignored the warning signs when both my merc and shadow died to an archer pack on the first floor and saw deeds shortly thereafter. Moral of the story: Don't play when sleepy.

Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act: 3
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PVM

Cause of Demise: Stupidity. Me and 2 friends had decided to clear all 3 difficulties on Classic. We did pretty good until durance lvl 2, where things started to go really bad. I was a pure fire sorc and my friends were Avenger and Concentrate Barb. About 5 minutes before my own death, the barb died from a massive stygian doll explosion. The Paladin and I didn't had BO anymore, but we decided to try to kill Meph. Five minutes later, I stood in a door, shooted a fireball without seeing what i was aiming at. I heard the noise of stygian dolls dying, then the little bone pieces coming over me, then the deeds screen.

Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM


Cause of demise: Was power levelling with enchant and Ravenclaw in NM cows with two people I met. We'd just opened the red portal.

Player A) Doesn't go in right away. "Sec" he says.
Player B) Has gone through and says "No".

I assumed he was replying to player A and isn't waiting for him.

What he meant was:

"The red portal is surrounded by Might Aura cows."

I step through. Inevitable lag. Die about a second before I can exit the game.

Gravesite: Pits lvl 2 (nm)

Lost her a few weeks ago. I was doing Tower and Pit runs in nm since lvl 35 or so (all damage she did is related to monster life, so she could kill anywhere she could hit). Needless too say I was bound to run in some nasty boss pack sooner or later. When entering the pits lvl 2 for the umpteenth time I got my deeds handed. No time to cast CoS, no time to get back up to lvl 1, no nothing. Should have stuck to normal baal runs, I know, but she was my first char after a long absense and I needed runes...
