Most embarrassing death?

[lionheartthebrave]

Just remembered a while ago I was in act2 hell in a tomb with my fishymancer, and ran through my skeletons for protection from something.......but they were actually enemy skeletons (who looked really similar to mine) and got killed

Also a tip for all fishymancers: be careful when reviving cows, they all look the same........

Just had my most embarrassing death with my lvl99 project Anothago.

Last week I made a pvp char, and I wanted to test him out, so I joined Colony's pvp game for some pvp action. In the game were Colony, San, Dysgenics, Zarfen, ZY, Denton and maybe even more.

After losing some battles I couldn't resist bringing in my lvl 97 sorc Anothago for dealing som hot blizzards. When entering the game i suddenly realised I lost my supernice baal-/AT-map which I'm using since lvl 86 (have done about 10k AT runs and a lot of baalruns with this map), so I was a little bit out of concentration. After doing (losing) some duels, my mind came back to the lost map and without even thinking I went to the WSK2 WP to see if it wasn't coincidantly the same map or something, teleporting around, hating myself for being stupid losing my map and suddenly I was in the middle of zouls and noticed my life going down really fast, this is what I was thinking: "Oh offcourse extra fast lightning enhanted (lightning enchanted gives +%lightningskill damage) super souls; no problem for me, I know how to find the esc button" and this is what I was reading:

Anothago has been slain by soul...

(the game offcourse goes on if you press esc in mp game)

Right there, in the pvp mp game I died while being stupid with all other players witnissing (or however you spell that) my death. Luckily, they were nice enough to free up my body, thanks!

Afterwards checking my stats I realised I gave 2 14 resist all GC from her to another char, since I wasn't playing her anyway, that's why she was shot to death by the normal souls.

Very embarrasing to die with your 97 char because of souls in the middle of a pvp game.
Punishment: lost map, lost exp.

@EasyGijs; LOL, really funny story, of course probably not for you. Sorry to hear about your death.
It reminds me my own errors in MP/PvP games, because I‘m new in this field as well and still I’m quite confused.

To the topic:
a) My most embarrassing HC death : My sorc was killed by normal Duriel because I wanted to save my Full rejuv for the worse time.
b) My most embarrassing SC death: My zealot was cursed by IM in Chaos Sanctuary, I was waiting for better curse but one knight attacked me, it made me angry and I couldn’t resist to repay. Of course I killed myself.

I have 2 recent death with my light javazon due to my ....:embarassed:
First running Pindle, I was killing some skeletons outside the entrance when i heard the sound of a rune dropping. Checked what it was -> UM :grin: , I tried to pick it up but full inventory, so I opened it to put it in the cube when a dead skeleton revived and hitted me, stunned, killed (greed is a capital sin!).
second after playing with my Frenzi barb in norm (p8), I decided to do a WSK run with my zon. Cleared 2nd lev, got to 3rd, cleared but I was going slower than usual. I checked my inventory to see if my equipment was alright. And nothing wrong. Throne room Gloams/OK/dolls: the gloams were killing my merc+valk, my LF took ages to kill OK one by one, I was gulping purples as crazy trying to figure out what was going wrong, then I was still at P8:duh: !!! pretending to play as if i was at P1!
I tried to change to P1 but too late (I should have TP and then switch:banghead: ).

I died without killing one single monster.

The best part is that it was HC :laugh: His deeds of valor will surely be remembered..

@Sequana: Don't you just hate those hotheaded zealots...



I had a pretty stupid death yesterday. I thought I'd make a quick pindlerun with my zealot. I took the portal and swooshed to Pindle's pack swinging my sword. Well, Pindle's boys were not ones to be surprised, and immediately charged crying "Braaaiinsss!!". So we charged at each other, and I fell to the first hit. And then I had to go clear the garden with the merc.

Ya really. He had no skills yet, of course, so basically he was some peasant that was somewhere he shouldn't have been. I should have named him Wirt.

 

[Rezfon]

i went back to act1 to do the cow level and when i was in tristrum to get wurts leg my doorbell went and i forgot to leave it on pause, but when i came back i was dead

 

[Thyiad1]

General stupid behavior: sticking around boss packs when your merc goes poof in two seconds flat.

This pretty much covers it.

 

[LordPaul]

A random lvl 18 pala hostiled my lvl 75 one in Hardcore.. And I thought "What the hell.. let's give this punk a harsh lesson"

1 hit KO for me.

'Nuf said.

Itches in Act 2 Normal with my cLvl 94 Tal Rasha Blizzer.

I just experienced perhaps the most embarrassing survival ever.

I was going to die. I just knew it. I was in the Frozen River with my hammerdin, got mobbed by Gloams and Witches, and my life gauge went way down. I didn't reach for the full rejuv potion fast enough and my last waypoint was the one right after Shenk. Then... I leveled up! Absolute pure dumb luck that I did at that very moment. Around then my hammers started doing their job and I didn't have any more problems.

Would have been a frustrating and embarrassing death (I really should have just hit the "3" key sooner, they mobbed me but I still had time), but I find myself slightly embarrassed to be alive.

 

[Klæmint Vágadal]

Huh? There is nothing embarrasing with getting killed by Gloams and Witches. My Blizzer's have died so often down there(Trying to do Anya quest), its starting to smell of rotten corpse in my room..

 

[Schmaleop]

Thinking my IK WW barb was bigger than a Frenztaur Boss pack.

I was running around the glacial trail or another such tunnel when i just mindlessly thought 'Ah Frenzytaurs! No problem for my IK Barb...'
Whats that above my head.... oh yes Amp Damage. One whirl into the pack and bang, over 3k life gone.

Closer inspection showed they were extra strong and elementally enchanted.
I'm much more cautious now

 

[Luca Rescigno]

I forgot to mention, that was in Nightmare, not Hell, so they weren't doing a ton of damage. I would have kicked myself if I had died because it would have been my fault for not reaching for the key fast enough - I definitely had enough time, I just didn't do it for whatever reason.

 

[Tupsi]

My PDR+ES, full energy Sorc was running Baal in a MP game and the main teleporter was somewhere. I just thought 'what the heck, I'm here with a durable character' and started teleporting. No Gloams, no Taurs, nothing deadly. That's the embarrassment factor here, I think. I teleported into a group of those fire shooting little teleporter demons and sword swinging no-goods, and believe me, the pack was Large. So, what does bad FHR and durable build cause when you're being hit constantly? Erm, non-stop FHR/blocking animation. I tried teleporting and casting spells, but they never came. I was stuck at that pack for about 3 rows of blue potions and 1 row of health potions. In time, that's about 2 minutes, maybe less, maybe more, who knows, it felt like eternity anyway...

I tried to tell my fellow Baal runners what was going on, but I don't think I ever managed to do that because I was just shocked and numb when I realized I'd not get out and that those little bastards would kill me, slowly but surely. I mean, that Sorc could easily tank a Frenzy Taur pack for 30 seconds without drinking a single potion, and she dies like that! :banghead:

Maybe I'm not much of a storyteller, but there it is.

 

[JihadJesus]

I was MPing with a roomate a couple years ago, playing a martyr called 'Jihad'. I'd wacked myself down to a sliver of health using Sacrifice to take out a pack of skellies, and went to pick up a health potion and stepped on a spike trap.

'Jihad has been killed by Jihad'

He laughed so hard he fell out of his chair. I used to have a screenshot, but I think I deleted it.

 

[Lost Existentialist]

Quite surprised noone's had this yet:
Trying out a powerful weapon (BOTD) with a powerful character (lvl 70+ randomancer) on chaos sanctuary normal...I just opened the North seal...Lord De Seis comes out...I attack...The freak casts IM at the right time...*poof* dead necro...

i was thinking like you and almost same thing happened to me in one of those caves. merc saved my MortalKing, decrepify curse triggered from merc's reaper's and i escaped at top speed, merc left and died :grin:

Eh, I don't think deaths to IM are particularly embarrassing, mainly because it's basically a 1-hit KO on any melee character. And those OKs do love to cast it JUST as you start attacking, so you can't back out.

I did feel kind of sheepish today when I tried questing with my strafeazon and ended up getting killed over and over again, and then realized that I hadn't set the game back to /players 1. Negative resists + Hell Act V + /p8 = insta-death.

 

[rykuss]

Getting killed by a fire trap, yes...........really. :blush: In a public game too so you can imagine the many "LOL's" that filled up the screen. It was during an Andarial run.
