What is the average level of deaths in P.O.E?
" This post got me to wondering how often people die on average in non hardcore play? I'm a full time father, and while I start all of my characters as hard core I also play them in default since at any moment I might be pulled away from the computer. I may get killed while reading a story to my son, changing a diaper, or helping my wife in some way, or simply from synchronization issues. For myself I normally delete a character when it reaches double digit deaths. Those that are the most fun I let "live" into the triple digits before resetting in disgust. What is average though? How many times have each of you died and what is your policy regarding deaths? |

well, I've died maybe a couple of times in total since OB started. Both times because I AFKed like an idiot in the wrong place.
Can't help you there unfortunately. 1337 21gn17ur3

Full time dad here too. As a result of the daily grind that is life with a kid I don't even bother with hardcore and play exclusively in default. Because of that I guess I have become somewhat desensitized to dying and barely even notice it (beginning to now in act3 merci 15% xp is ouchy).

I'm ashamed to admit this, but with my first character to "finish" the game, I threw myself at Merciless Piety probably 20+ times before actually beating her...I just wanted it done with. I think once I hit 70 (today hopefully) now that half of my gear has been upgraded since I beat her, I'll try again to see if I can not die.

I play HC only. Mainly died in my 30's and 40's. Think I have lost 5 characters so far, but nothing for a while as I learn from my deaths :)
Now I just know that I will die on one of them just because I said that! I have a few HC characters in late merciless but not tried beating Piety in merc yet, not in any sort of rush as I play alts a fair amount. . Dernière édition par Altadoc#4418, le 15 mars 2013 à 11:57:06

Vaal Oversoul was where most of my deaths occurred on Merciless, I actually ran out of portal scrolls and gave up and found a group doing it instead. I don't like that he has no cool down on his abilities. He can be a cakewalk if you get lucky or an impossible to defeat nightmare if he chains the lightning ability multiple times in a row (1st beam always seems to hit).
I didn't even attempt Piety solo after the trouble I had on Vaal, I just went straight to a public group. |

" All his attacks can be avoided outside rocks.. where you granite. Once you get Vaal's mechanics down he isn't so hard. Rocks will still hurt though and can surprise you if you run out of granite charges. |

400 times with my first (low life lightning witch without shavronne's !)

My first char died well over 300 times.
The char i'm playing now maybe has 8 deaths (can't check right now), and most of those are from desync issues, a couple were from dying while loading out of merv's lair into the forest (dunno why there were champion mobs there, but when farming merv apparently i pulled a couple, then I forgot they were there after the first death and went back a second time, actually happened two days straight XD).

My first char (Ranger), now level 51, and just finishing Cruel has died 52 times
My 2nd char (ColdCrit Witch), now level 62, and just halfway through Merciless has died 20 times My 3rd char (Summoner / Lightning Witch) killed Merciless Piety a few nights ago, with 9 deaths Did you know level 91 is the halfway point to level 100? This means that a softcore character dying ONCE at level 85+ can lose many days of progress.
