death via bug

[farnk]

so i finally die after going on a massacre with Icon. the only thing is; i have no clue how this happend.

me and fwerp were pking in the ophidian lair and chased some guy through the swamp area. we were in the process of getting out to recall when i just happened to step on a tile which led me to go underground. i could not teleport anywhere, i resynched my client multiple times but still couldn't do anything. i healed through a drake and ophid and finally got invis to cast. after more attempts of trying to teleport (can't recall where i was) i decided to use the help menu to go to the chaos shrine. needless to say i was frozen, and after i was revealed it was over with.

yeah, i got owned. i'm dead in stat and lost a ton of good stuff, oh well lol. but me and fwerp have never experienced this and were wondering what the hell is up with it? is it a bugged tile or is there some way to prevent this?

That sucks. I've had this happen to me before, and I just opened up a gate and dclicked out.

[farnk]

it wouldn't let me gate from where i was. i tried literally every option before trying the help menu and admitting defeat. lol ;[

Karma Bug?

sorry to hear it

You should have been able to teleport out. Also your friend could have put an object above you and you could have teleported to it.

Hilarious nonetheless!

Sinkhole! They're EVERYWHERE these days.

Yeah, and if that didn't work, I'd go fall in the hole with another char and kill the mobs/invis the PK. Eitherway, I will probably go have a look for this hole this evening so I can avoid it. If there is one thing I am a fan of, it is exploring foreign holes.

I've fallen into situations a few times back in that ophidian area but always teleported out. I'm guessing you just died before you found a spot you could actually tele too.

Sucks =/

[Menkaure]

That's total bs. I'd be jacked man, gmd should let you res without stat due to that crap. I ne'er had this happen to me but if it did I'd be mad as hell.

Ps
Farnk did you try relogging at all? Did you also try dismounting and porting?

[[Uhh] Eo]

Meh, not really, he could have easily escaped..

[Pro]

and how would you easily escape that?

Cast invis and then get your bard, or hally mage, or tamer

Then either kill the mobs, or just pull their agro, or give yourself an invis item if you ran out/forgot to stock

Drop a reg on the floor on the alt char so you can target it to teleport up.. if you cant see it with CTRL shift, maybe even save an absolute target macro to teleport out

Or maybe just use (Stuck).. then use your bard to keep you invis'd

Or use (stuck) and use your invis item

Basically the only way you die here is if you just go 'Fuck it I'll just cast invis and then use help stuck, hopefully it is faster than 2 minutes'

Mind explaining this a little better?

you can get to all sorts of cool places by teleporting to items. drop a spider silk or something u can walk on onto the ground
cast teleport, hold ctrl+shift and click the name of the item u dropped on the ground. you teleport to it
