Weaselly Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 My personal opinion on reasons why most Ark players die. #1 - Server crashes, lag, & glitches brought to you by Studio Wildcard #2 - Dinos #3 - Turrets/other Players #4 - Fall Damage #5 - Environmental Elements (Cold/Heat/Drowning) #6 - Starving/Thirst #7 - Killing self on purpose (eating poop, punching to death) #8 - Pissing off the wrong dodo...

Glitching through the floor of my base or DC while flying or DC while surrounded in a cave Haven´t logged out with a single piece of gear on me for ages, never travel with or wear any gear in general if I don´t have to.

maze Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Last death was #2 for me. My own Giga raged on me from fall damage and ,while being at 300 stacks, ate me and my complete inventory was gone. I set him to not collect loot. Wise choice for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that a few times I think the absolute worst death at the time (ironically funny now) was on scorched when I finally got my first wyvern raised and took it out on its test flight. I circled my base getting used to to the turn radius then took off down the valley, went in low to try out her lightning attack and..........frozen screen. Then a crash. Then a forced update which had me sitting there looking at my TV for 90 minutes thinking awwwww &#*@##*&. Log into my base, my wyvern sitting in the stable, and a note in my pocket saying drug you back home and brought your mount back, no more drinking and driving for you. Good times. Good clan.

Bruvas78 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Disconnect. Log back on to being eaten/falling off flier. #2 Dragged out house and drowned for loot when offline #3 Dimoph swarm overpowering me when meat gathering as I forgot to craft new armour after #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 9 of my last 10 deaths, and I don't die often, were caused solely by disconnects. This has always been the case with ARK and would be resolved almost wholly if you stayed mounted for a period of time while disconnected and during that period of time your dino AI was able to take over. Riding around on a neutral dino would become the norm and a lot of DC issues, of which there are many, would be far more acceptable to the player base.

AdligerAdler Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 On Island it's disconnects and bluescreens. Followed by suicide because often I'm too lazy to get food or to go to a bed for fast travel. On Aberration it was ravagers until I left noob phase. Now it's disconnects and bluescreens, followed by suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngrySaltire Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Definatly DCs always DCs. Closly followed by 'It'll be fine no need to worry' missions. My current mostly likely cause of death is by angry rock drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrist Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 DC ARK game Error Rubberbanding One of my most memorable, and surprising deaths.. First time seeing a RockElemental...

Todgins Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 #1; Disconnecting and drowning/falling upon logging back on. Next for me would be rad damage, or rock drakes after taking their egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critter Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Died from failure to reach a diplomatic solution. I guess it still counts as death by pvp but the reason for the death is still relevant, right? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmE Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 1# is definitely disconnects and/or crashes 2# is Frozen Spores 3# Baryonyx perma-stun lock 4# Falling under the mesh because crabs can knock any mount under the mesh if you fight them near plant Z or buildings. 5# Beavers/Bees, wild or tamed. 6# Everything else (Comprises less then 5% of unintended deaths) Didn't include intended deaths because. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouSpowells Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The top 4 based on my experience: Reason #1 - Poor planning. This is when people forget a parachute, eat polymer, accidentally drink narcotics on a bird, take the wrong path, zigged when zigging was lava, etc... Reason #2 - PvP. This is anytime one player kills another player, by accident or on purpose...including friendly fire. Reason #3 - Fabrication. This is when people say they died but didn't to make #4 seem like #1. Reason #4 - Crashes/bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadedfools Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 When I first started playing it was always those d*&n Compys, everytime. Now its just stupidity. Like trying to pet a Carno's butt, or play with a T-Rex's Tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even lag when flying can kill. Last week I was on a Quetz, lagged and was suddenly falling, so I immediately started moving, trying to pop a parachute (I was out), etcetc. Tribemate informs me that if I hadn't moved I would have snapped back onto the Quetz. instead I did the most graceful swan dive into the side of a mountain you've ever seen. heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
