Does a death in BMP missions count towards /deaths? - Guild Wars Forums

Simple question, I have a survivor but I want to do some missions from the BMP, but if I die during one of the missions will it count towards /deaths?

Don't really see why it wouldn't.
Why don't you take another character through first and check?

Not able to play at the moment.

People from the BMP thread said they tested it and it didn't count.

I wouldn't risk it until you tried it for yourself on another toon.

i tested it, still the same number of deaths after lots of dying in the BMP, although since when u get the discoverys u can get and use the books with any char, i would get them with another cahr and then get the discovery books for ur survivor, just in case, if the books are what ure after...

It does not, which makes sense as you're not even playing as your character.

You can't get XP from these, can you?

GD Defender · Nov 30, 2007, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Correct, they only offer cash and weapons.

That does make sense but during the halloween event people were playing in the costume brawl and it did count there.

GD Defender · Nov 30, 2007, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Well that's dumb.

EDIT: Actually, your character is technically in a costume. So that makes sense too.

One thing that's interesting though...

I'm pretty sure your armor level is taken into account in these missions.

Gwen got hit for a 400 damage siege attack. I routinely use antler headgear.

I've noticed this in other 'special missions' like that one.

GD Defender · Nov 30, 2007, 09:11 PM // 21:11

One of my guildies did it in starter armor and he made a comment about taking 300 damage, so I'm pretty sure you're right.
