'You have died XXX times' - Guild Wars Forums

Woutsie · Aug 12, 2005, 12:16 AM // 00:16

Currently, I have played Guild Wars over more then 250 hours.
I typed /deaths and it says: 'You have died 570 times'.
that is like... 2 death's in a hour?

I mean, am I just so goddamn noobish?

I still have the Yak's Bend Gladiator armor because I don't want to spend my money on other and weaker armor and I'm saving my money for the 15K armors...
I do die alot, and I'm a W/E, so the only healing thing I have is my Healing Signet...

The 570 deaths look pretty noobish so I want to start all over again...
Is it?
And how many times have you died?

Ultimate_Gaara · Aug 12, 2005, 12:22 AM // 00:22

don't worry about deaths, i have over 800 of them in like 300 hours.. that is the life of a "meat sheild"... no one will ever see your deaths and dying is part of the game, so don't feel bad about it

Edit: heh, ok so i overshot my deaths a little bit, i only have 360 in 300 hours

Arvydas · Aug 12, 2005, 12:24 AM // 00:24

as far as i know the droknar's forge 1.5k armor has the same stat as the 15k. you may want to invest on that one and use it to your advantage for tougher but better farming spots.

i'm at work so can't check my /deaths... i dont think deaths relates to your noobishness directly. has to take the teamates into account.

aknox · Aug 12, 2005, 12:28 AM // 00:28

welll..if u dont liek diein use more defensive skill(most are in the tactics attribute), thast wut i do...and i've probably died like 200 times in the 190 hours i've played

Jeddak · Aug 12, 2005, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Haven't looked so I don't know. But since death in GW is mostly meaningless I don't think it means much. Especially since you can use how death works to advance in the game. Just another pointless thing to worry about like dancing, colors, how armor looks ect.

Mavrik · Aug 12, 2005, 01:15 AM // 01:15

I've played about 200 hours with 22 hours on my second character, the rest on my first. I'm at work to right now but I'm curious as to how many times I have died... I know its alot hehe...

If you don't want to die so much, don't save for 15K armor. It's no different from 1.5K armor. Better armor will reduce your death rate.

That said, the warrior is more prone to dying than range characters, so expect more deaths as a warrior.

seraphite86 · Aug 12, 2005, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Nothing wrong with dying. Talking about newbish, I have died 402 times I've played 184 hours. Everytime time I check my deaths I just laugh.

And yes, good armor is your saving grace.

P Shizzle · Aug 12, 2005, 02:26 AM // 02:26

how do you check how many hours you've played?

Kamatsu · Aug 12, 2005, 02:32 AM // 02:32

Type /age to find out how long you have played. (will show you total time played and time played on the character your logged on as)
Type /deaths to find out how many times you have died.

played 102 hours on my W/Mo and had 102 deaths.. LOL 1 an hour.. heheheheh

Eagle923 · Aug 12, 2005, 03:30 AM // 03:30

My Mo/Me only had 32 deaths after Hells Prec. Then I started PvPing with her and I probably have a ton now. I'll check when I get off work tonight.

Ole Man Bourbon · Aug 12, 2005, 03:51 AM // 03:51

I've been playing for 250 hrs with my Warrior, and have only 14 deaths.

Ok, that's a lie.

Shifty Geezer · Aug 12, 2005, 08:53 AM // 08:53

I average one death every two hours, but that's because of tough battles droipping my average. eg. the undead invasion outside some Kryta town (forget which) killed me maybe a dozen times.

Recently my Necro/Ranger never dies. Apart from a lot of deaths in Presearing Ascalon in one mission, and another run of dying in Old Ascalon, my army is pretty much unstoppable most of the time - at least, up into the Shivverpeak Mountains...

Does /deaths show all deaths (PvP + PvE) or just PvE deaths? PvP will result in a much higher death/hour average.

Eonwe · Aug 12, 2005, 09:10 AM // 09:10

My characters have:

Warrior: 702 deaths / 237 hours

Ele: 230 deaths / 77 hours

Monk: 99 deaths / 109 hours

Owned!

Mr. Matt · Aug 12, 2005, 09:29 AM // 09:29

I think it was 400 hours, and 56 deaths. Last time I looked, anyway. I have to log in later on and see if it's still worth selling my supply of silver dye so I'll check then.

ShadowStorm · Aug 12, 2005, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Expect to die more as a Warrior? Are you kidding me? Of my three characters, my warrior has died the least. My Elementalist on the other hand... Wooooo.

Warrior/Necromancer: 143 hours 27 minutes 37 deaths

Elementalist/Ranger: 345 hours 58 minutes 948 deaths

Ranger/Mesmer: 75 hours 20 minutes 151 deaths

Mr. Matt · Aug 12, 2005, 02:19 PM // 14:19

Hey, I didn't know you could play as different races in this game! How'd you get an Elementalist Lemming?

Vhayr · Aug 12, 2005, 04:53 PM // 16:53

I can't check right now, but you shouldn't be embarrassed because my E/Mo has died about 850 times in 180 hours. That's 4.7 deaths an hour.

I personally blame my armour, but whatever
