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. :)

[Zotox]

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 :)

Act: IV
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM

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.

Character name: DPDT
Character level: 58
Character class: Barb
Character build: throw/frenzy
Game difficulty: Nightmare
Act:5
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 name: Zotox (version 2.0)
Character level: 66
Character class: Necromancer
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 :)

Cause of demise: Time of death was about 5 PM when he was fatally stabbed by a carver minion at the Cairn Stones. He had just arrived in Hell today after doing well all through NM. Hell was a little slow going and merc died twice in the Den. Bloodraven was easy. Then poof!

[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.

Cause of demise: Violated the rules of HC play: Went AFK and played while tired. Trying to get an hour in before I had to leave Kuwait, and payed the price. The level loss isn't a dreadful loss, but the items the character had stored are.

Character name: KTA_GreenArse
Character level: 75
Character class: Paladin
Character build: Avenger
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 2
Corpse looted: Yes
Death type: PvM

Cause of demise: Fe Ce Blunderbore boss that got popped.
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. Were doing Ok-ish until we ran into a pack of Blunderbores. 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.

My bad, I should have walked back before typing. On to the next run ^^

Death type: TPPK


Cause of demise: Well, a "friend" lured me to do some baalruns. Had only 16 millions left to 94 so i decided to go. Bad choice. As soon as I joined the game and went in to Throne, got tppk'd. After that, the guy decided to drophack me thus preventing me from getting my loot.

Cause of demise: some pathetic script kiddie by the name of Deers. Tppk on wp, i didnt party with him for the fear of him being a tppker, but had others in my party. You can conclude the rest.
Really hope D3 is P2P, at least in some way. The complete wedontgiveadamndiealreadystupidgame attitude from blizzard towards D2 makes me wonder if same will happen to D3 if it is not P2P :/

Cause of demise: Doing some nightmare baal runs with a fellow Gauss member. Attempted to static Baal, teleported on top of him and about 10 of his little wiggly friends pop up and start bashing me. Tried to teleport out but couldn't because of 950 ping lag spike. Tried to save/exit but it was too late *sniff*

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.
