View Full Version : @Sirken/Other Staff: Can you see how many times a character has died?

Was toying with the idea of whether it'd be possible to get a solo character who only used gear they looted themselves to 60 without dying. It was a fun thought project. But I wondered if it'd be possible to prove this without video evidence of the entire journey.
I know you guys have logs for days on all sorts of things. Are the deaths of each character recorded - or at least counted?

I vote we prove to see if this is possible by opening up the discord server <3

Of course they can, if they wanted to.

There's some things I'd rather not know. Flash backs to quad kiting on wifi...

/deaths
Another +1 for Discord server. Hype for that leader board on the website, ultimate bragging rights.
Would be more interested in who's died the most, rather than who the least.
Or what NPC has the highest player kill count. Player killing NPCs is most likely some dok ae wizard.

I think Sgt. Slate would have a decent kill list. Rinna Lightshadow in EC also, and griffon that wanders between the orc1 and orc2.

I am fairly certain that if you were to attack a mob that rampages/flurries that the number portion of "Aadill'scorpse_0719" is an indicator of the number of deaths? Happens when you get one-rounded.

Every corpse you've ever made has a number. You can test next time you see a corpse, target it and type /tt . So the game must know immediately when you die which number to assign to your corpse. Therefore I would assume corpse # is part of your charinfo, along with your stats, bind point, religion etc. so they can definitely get this if they wanted the chore of it.
Would think Trakanon has highest player kill count? High level roaming newbie area mobs prob net couple dozen kills a day at best, while Trak was contested soon as he popped for years in endless Kunark era, and if he didn't wipe hundreds worth a raid force he usually killed some dozen at least with the dot.

If there was a way to check it'd be a handy way for the "No Time to Rez" folks to prove that they've never died. I'd probably start a perma-death char if this was possible.

Probably could parse some log file too.

It can certainly be done. A druid could easily do it and gear isn't all that important for a druid. Do newbie zone until you get SoW, then just stay outdoors or near zones. It's easy to stay alive if you are careful. It'd be boring as crap but you could do it.
Doing it with a paladin or something would be a lot more impressive

We can see rotted corpses. There's probably deeper log files of just deaths. It sounds like you want to do a combination of what No Time To Rez does and similar to Auld Lang Syne.
With that, this isn't an open invite to everyone petitioning every day asking if they have corpses, I have enough petitions to deal with :P
If you want to go hardcore, make a Warrior. Druid, Monk, Necro, or Mage would be too easy :P

I played with them for awhile, I stopped because there was no way to prove you never died, so I lost interest.

Too bad it couldn't be coded in, where you typed a simple command and it showed number of deaths. I imagine it would be hard to do though.

Fear not, good buddy. I have no plans (nor the time) to undertake something like this. As I said it was simply a thought project and I figured I'd ask just to find out and satisfy my curiosity.
Thank you for replying though. It is appreciated. :)

Must be client specific thing, since mine keeps whining I'm talking to myself.
Sicking a pet on it or casting dots on it doesnt gimme numbers either, just calls it Brutillusscorpse.
