congratulations on pulling that story out of your rear – you start at level 2 not 0 as once through introduction you are automatically level 2. So bring a real example to the table and you should get level 5 just for the first gendaran fields one for a low level character (made it to the puzzle alone right off the start – the oozes and spiders inside are another story).
Kaz that is directly correlated to the level of a player – the items a only available to those that can successfully participate in the zones.
And actually got the achievements other than clock tower done for the mad kings realm with the one inital death count then went through looking for what caused it before leaving and re-entering only to have it increase by one again. This is why my assumption is that it is the entry that is causing the increase and not something else within the zone as I did not die during my stay in the mad kings realm nor on my way to re-enter.
This is getting off topic – this post is about accessibility and the death increase “bug” or “mechanic” and the inaccessibility of the event to lower levels.
If that was the case Zarathustra then I could “go” afk anytime I was about to die and claim that I did not see this death and therefore did not count… Death counter is important or should be important to all as it can correlate to the skill of the player and the skill of the player’s ability to utilize a class. If you can make it through the game without dieing in a game intended to challenge all sorts of players would this not imply that you know the specific class inside and out? It forces you to adapt and learn to use your skills rather than just playing mindlessly and not caring about deaths. It also places weight into your choices and actions.
@Unspecified & Andy – This self-imposed rule is shared by many not just myself – and by no way interferes with anyone other than myself and those sharing the same goal as 80 no deaths. This goal is reasonable and possible as stated before. Now the death count increase upon entering the RoMK is pointless – it is not explained nor is it by any means tied into the story from what I have experienced through the character who I had attempted it on. I would agree with those who see it as a trip to the afterlife counter but as I see it it was either a bug based on WetWookies response or WetWookie got lucky and missed the effect of going into the “spirit realm”.
To forther clarify this does not happen upon entering and leaving the reapers rumble or the inquisition pvp events – tried these after obtaining a 3 death count from experimenting with the entry of the realm.
WetWookie unless it is a bug I have gotten +1 from going from a level 8 elementalist each time he enters the mad kings realm that is – after an event is completed the doors open up – you activate the door and enter my count goes up +1
Kaz the event includes items that are exclusively available to players who are above level 25 and now apparently 45 – this excludes not only myself but players who recently started.
How so brian? have you tried it? Truly isn’t hard at all – just takes longer. People are less likely to do something when it requires them to be cautious. I have done the fire elemental – the swamp worm in Caldeon all without dieing. I have just started clearing all the level 15-25 with my level 27 and they seem to be similarly easy after clearing all the 1-15 areas first.
Doubtful – personally feel that the limitations they posed on this event as an affront to the newer players rather than the older ones as it truly pushes them away from it as there is no way unless they rush through to level 65 now apparently.
@Kaz – can’t experience them fully as I cannot even enter the mad king’s realm without having a death count increase. I have been doing the meta events all over queensdale on my multitude of alts but why would I utilize my furthest character during an event (such as entering the mad kings realm) that may or may not give me a random death count increase for doing various actions that supposedly makes sense to have a death count increase but not a death – as per the overwhelming response to this thread by the cretins of this gaming community apparently.
@Jia Shen – which is why I feel that they should have either warned of the pseudo-death or not have had it increase the death counter at all!
Why are all these arguments the same circular logic? The whole death count + increase is completely pointless. As for the content being available to all? The whole story of the scavenger hunt is only available to those of level 25+. They have completely isolated the event content from newer players as they cannot complete the scavenger hunt without help not can they play through the event content without dieing regardless of difficulty – and the permanent skins are available to all levels even if its a rental(the chest skins I understand are premium content for the most part).
I would not have an issue with this if I had actually died or if there was a warning of the pseudo-death.
If you’d like to be constructive the go ahead post, but if you feel better about yourself for criticizing something that someone is doing that you can’t then please don’t post, or go play the game and attempt to do it yourself! You may just find it makes the experience so much more fun when there is a risk involved with every fight and or event.
@Kopipoki – the problem with your logic is that it is completely unreasonable. Not only is my goal reasonable it can be done by simply following the games linear leveled areas. Your argument is simply circular in nature. If you are going to argue that my request is unreasonable to ask that it be playable by all characters without dieing if played with caution then you should approach it with a valid argument rather than transposing it onto a completely unreasonable goal.
I’m not asking Anet to make the content easy – I’m requesting them to remove the death + count while entering the mad kings realm and to remove the level req of the scavenger hunt so that all can take part in this event. This is not a request to alter difficulty by any means it is a request to make it more accessible.
@Galador – It’s a completely pointless mechanic the death count++ upon entry to the mad realm as there are enough references to the state of being that the mad king is in. And as for appealing to the “.01%” of the player base – I’m sure I am not the only one who is at or around level 27 in the whole game nor am I the one with alternative characters who is being excluded from the event due to the scavenger hunts level limit.
My self-imposed restriction is not impossible – though it might be for some.
@Palador – its a completely pointless mechanic the reference to the boatman from the river styx is reminder enough.
Seeing as how its a fantasy game and the added realism is that when my character dies he is actually dead. Also immersion – same response that drkn got – learn to read and understand what you read rather than just trying to troll.
Simply no, read my post and try to understand it; Or is that too hard for you to comprehend as well? Games are designed for all sorts of players – I personally like to enjoy the storyline and a little added realism to further immerse myself in a wonderful universe. Now instead of attacking my personal choices on how to play this amazing game go comment on something where you can be a constructive member of society.
All I’m asking is for the events to be playable for all sorts of players – is that really an unreasonable request?
Look, I play this game in which if my character dies – he is dead. This may sound stupid to other players but I typically play solo – and yes avoid dungeons. I find it annoying and aggravating that your death count increases by one upon entering the mad kings realm – has consistently done this for 3 of my characters – so any posters who claim that this is not true please refrain from posting as I have experimented with this and gotten the same result.
I realize the events are optional but I find it ridiculous that you limit and divide your player base by requiring a level to do the scavenger hunt and a death count increase to do the rest of the event!
Please adjust the event to allow for ALL players to participate rather than those who just like to zerg things and or don’t care about deaths.
