masteff 64 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Argh!! My first HC toon didn't even make it out of Act 1! I decided to take a break and exited while my toon was in the Highlands. Only problem is I'd just gotten the staff and had triggered a checkpoint, so I respawned in the middle of the Highlands which meant in the middle of mobs. Oh well, lesson learned. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 two peeps down? Masteff, that way it ports you back in is horrible...when I restart a game I always press change quest first just to reset it back to safe beginning. Chrona, I'm so sad for your loss, level 60!! gogo Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well just bit the dust today fellas at 49, almost 50. Just beaten Azmodan and forget to change back my skills from single target to multitarget before starting Act IV. So quite promptly I ported into the Iskatu boss battle and was swarmed by a hundred shadow vermin (literally) with no way to get rid of them all. So lesson learned: Don't forget to switch out your skills after a certain encounter! Side note: Azmodan's fire ball does roughly 10k damage in nightmare. Be advised. Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 So sorry to hear that ryan! I hope you come back stronger for it. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 What a terrible way to go BOTH masteff and ryan. I've loaded many a dangerous checkpoint to the point I've become quite familiar with dangerous and safe checkpoints. I'll often load an earlier checkpoint in order to avoid the dangerous ones. Sand and Blood can be bad for that... ryan dudey, I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to taste level 50 before departing What a loss. With all the goodies you've found along the way up I'm sure you'll level fast! Oh and cheers for that Azmodan fireball heads up. 10k damage?! Yikes! Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well, first HC death, was a little distracted in the arreat crater the first time you go out and got whacked...bit of a shame really, but theres always next time...onto a new toon. Also...I had my first real hit with lag today, may have contributed to this death a little...I did think I popped my heal spell, but was getting 2.5k ping consistently for a while after the death so I've taken a break for the night.

Knuckles 904 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yup this thread is gonna get huge....Sorry for your losses masteff, ryan and DB. Guess I'll add my latest. Got to admit - this one hurt a little (Act IV NM) Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ahh...dang! Sorry to hear that kuckles. So close to the end too! Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ahhhhhhhhhhh Sorry about the losses guys, this has been a tough HC weekend for most of us. Well we'll all come back stronger! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ryan, DB, KNuckles, I feel yer pain. Knuckles, so close to the epiphany, with you too ryan! And DB, I know what you mean about those massive lag last night, I went down last night too, level 44 I KNEW I was gonna die...I left game earlier cuz there was too much lag, and I had been playing straight through two days... but there was just a tiny bit of the bar left for me to get to level 45... I entered the game, instantly the entire screen was black, I could not fire my gun, and a single enemy showed up, those horrible leaping toads...elite... my gun, not firing...tried to run, screen kept blinking on and off, all I could hear were thumps and the occasional view of my toon as life was dissapering...sigh, I feel crushed, wonder if hc is like gambling? I think we're gonna have build a HC chapel or something like they have in those casinos in the states... alas, where do I find myself this morning, oh where...drat you blizzard, you have built the devil's play ground! *shakes fist* Oh the hells shall trembleth! gogo Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Oh the hells shall trembleth! gogo I think it's the "heavens shall tremble" Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 heheh, oh they shalleth indeedeth! *looks for epic smiley* awwwwwwww, oh well gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Awh man. So sorry about your losses guys. I can just imagine how terrible that must have felt. Here's to your quick climb back up! Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Well back down to level 1 again. Level 37 Monk got owned by a random encounter in the desert. Little girl standing by herself with blue quest marker. Clicked on it. Arcane Enchanted/Vampiric mob spawns. It's all over with no spirit to hit invincibility skill Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Ryan, no! that vampiric mob has also been on of my deaths, I find them very frustrating as well. I've actually worked out two or three different Combat Arts I can use in case of emergencies, they can get us down skinny to the bone fast. Sorry for loss Come back stronger! gogo Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 This is the farthest I've ever gotten in the game, a proud level 54 HC, and with a Hell level title to boot! I guess I wasn't as scared as I should have been to play, and I got caught grandstanding in the middle of a pool of desecreation while my quickly declining healthpoints raced against this Elite Mob's ring leader trying to see who could out last whom. He won. Lesson learned, Demon Hunters aren't tanks RIP Painellapea You shall be avenged! gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ouch and double ouch If nothing else you died to something with a scary name. Now if masteff would just come in and tell everyone what he died to lol Link to comment
Sacredtbag 2 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ouch, I feel for you guys. Luckily I haven't had a HC death yet. But, I feel I need to say something: Wait 'til you get to the hard stuff! Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sorry to hear that gogo, may you come back bigger and stronger! Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Just bit the dust with my 45 Monk in Act III nightmare Tried telling a guy in a public game that we were at a resplendent chest and didn't realize I was standing on a fire trap. Killed by chat = sucks P.S. would anyone mind boosting me up a few levels on my remake? It would be most appreciated Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ouch! Another loss. Is today a full moon or something? I will gladly do what little I can to help. Link to comment
masteff 64 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Alright everyone, here it is, the ultimate HC death!! I challenge anyone to have a more glorious death than this one! Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Take a good look at his profile....and see what he died to The worst part is I thought we had cleared the whole area. I had left and he went back in to get some drops he missed because his stash was full. Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Chubby pink unicorn...thats somewhat demeaning... Link to comment
