Entering the tower can sometimes be a mistake? ;(

This is why i never try playing hardcore!

I've ran into similar crowded entrances many times, but my builds always survive. Perhaps we need to look at your setup a little to see that it doesn't happen again.

This was from the first season when i started playing the game but i remember it like it was yesterday. To be said my internet connection is not the best and it had a lot to do with the Death there i think. But they did throw me one hell of a party haha. More then i ever wanted.

I played a zealer and lost my first good RW Duress on a surprise party like this. Along with the best at the date gear (not very valuable though).
Were the red goat-men and they jumped on me and 2 seconds later I was dead.

Tried to rescue my body and equiped a spare set of gear but the mobs had other plans for me.
Never got my body back and lost my primary gear (didn't know at that time to instant quit and retrive the body in town). I was quite upset, I had a difficult time to start playing again, but soon it was all coming back.

I lost a level 97, decked out light sorc at the throne room entrance to a pack of extra fast, extra strong,

Fanaticism Death lords posted about 2 inches from the entrance. Outside of Disconnect deaths it was my worst, I walked away from the game for 2 weeks. So I get why people shy away from HC esp online, but having a permadeath condition to the game adds a level of atmosphere that's well worth the risk in my opinion but that's my 2 cents anyway.

This is one of reasons why I play hardcore.

That's the kind of randomness I'd quite enjoy having to plan for actually.

Now if only Death-to-bug and Death-to-random-lag-and-disconnect weren't a constant threat...

Yeah, almost lost my HC amazon to bad spawn of

Lord De Seis and gang when popping the seal.
That was really scary and now im always afraid when popping the seals in there =P

I do kind of wonder how many people ended up losing their HC chars to a surprise-de-seis when they broke the spawn point and made his pack randomly appear in places that had been reliably safe and established waiting points for 20 years while the animation for it still played in the normal old spawn location.

I would personally love to see a compilation video of peoples reactions to that when they first noticed it, gave me the jumps for sure when I stumbled on to it.

Extra Fast Extra Strong Aura Enchanted Cursed Mob are one of the worst.

They move like on steroids.
They either have Might or Fanatism.
Extra Strong means GG.
Curse isn't anything new in Hell but the above effects get multiplied.

TZ maps make them go even faster e.g Stimpack marines D2 Style

And if they are Death Lords..my oh my.

Gives your ES Immortal Sorc a run for their monehhhhh

A similar thing happened to my straffezon at the entry WP to

Black Marsh TZ in hell difficulty when a bunch of Wailing Beasts pumped up with Fanatisism were lurking there. By the time the screen loaded for action, she was dead.
