Died Randomly?

I was on my Lv 53 seeker last night flying up the east coast on his crappy flier. I shrunk down my window to type up some homework, and when i brought back up my game I had died at 642, 777, Height 78. I'm not on a pk server, and it had been long enough for faction chat to hide the reason I died.


GMS? ANYONE? WHO CAN EXPLAIN THIS? Luckily I'm married to the Faction Leader in real life, so getting a no exp loss rez was an easy thing to do, but it still leaves me with a question of What mob/boss can go that high randomly and kill me, OR is that spot pk enabled?

    You probably got killed by a Cyannair Specter.

    Once you aggro one they will keep following you to the other edge of the map if you let them.

    Did you maybe aggro a cyannair specter near Sanctuary before you got up to height?

    I like to think that he was struck by lightning for flying too high...

    But yea, specter is probably the more boring (read as: probable) answer

    Technically they already have weather effects, they just need to make them actually do something, like storm clouds shock anyone flying while they are in the area, forcing you to walk/mount or teleport.

    Heck they could even have earthquakes that stun you and the monster you are fighting or tsunamis that knock you 50m inland, I am liking this idea the more I think about it

    I could just see a lvl 40 questing in Angler's Village and tsunami hits and knocks you to around 1k where you get killed by a swarm of lvl 70 mobs b:chuckle

    And that's why they call it a natural disaster

    It would lots of fun if the natural climat did affect the game play at least once a month. Like doing pvp in SP or West Gate and dying to a lightning bolt or something.

    I thought they had adjusted the aggro of the Cyannairs, so they wouldn't do that anymore? b:question

    I remember there being extreme cases, like people dying at 1k from one of these things.

    No, I don't think they have. I remember not too long ago flying with one, and it followed me for a while before I just got tired of it and killed it. It's like an annoying pet fireball that bites.

    Sorry guys, It seems i left out a key piece of information. Lots of nice answers but none of them fit.


    I was flying from archosaur to Angler's Village when i died. My seeker hadn't been over sanctuary.

    b:shocked scary thought. But wouldn't they have let me know through a message or something?


    Besides if a GM had been in the game, they did it while i wasn't looking.... so i still don't believe they exist.

    Maybe you got poisoned by a mob at some point and didn't realize it before minimizing the screen? If not, then maybe you aggro'd Cthulu :o

    there's no way in hell if he started the auto path to 78 high while still in arch that he would've run into a mob. Unless somone was dragging a boss like Jewel across the map from 78 high and just happened to se him first.... i dont' have a clue.

    That's what I'm trying to say. My thoughts is that it's a random patch of PVP area.... but i don't wanna test it. I hate getting killed in PVP and what would PWE say "Oh if you pvp in it, then we'll ban you..." Then do nothing to follow up.

    Hmm ok here's my guess...between Archo and Angler's Village at a height of probably between 40 and 60 there are those waspy type things and something called a queen something (she hits pretty hard). Now if you put your auto path on and set your height destination, you only gradually increase height right, so it is possible that one of those caught you at a certain height and followed you up and killed you. My cleric died once by that queen thingy.

    I tried, but my guild chat moves too fast and by the time i noticed no information was in my damage log nor a clue about who or what killed me.
