Died cause of bag

Hello, i died cause of bag in Undersity. Elevator just stop to go back, and i go after him in air and died from falling? Is that okay? And as i understand i can’t get back my character?

Bag?? Or you mean Bug?

Nevertheless, if your character died, then it is permanent. You accepted that in the popup window when you created your character.

Edit:
Wow, I just saw your guild name - are you trolling? :joy:

I died because of the exact same reason but in retail. If you jump on an elevator even a split second after it starts going down, you die although you jumped from a very small elevation. It’s annoying but since it’s also in retail it might be an intended feature.

Sorry for the loss of your character.

Who knew that Undercity’s elevator mechanic would kill more players than Molten Core :man_shrugging:t2:

If you run up against the gate or a wall when the elevator starts going down you will get “stuck” for a short period. Leaving you falling towards the elevator. But it being so fast, you won’t catch up before it is at the bottom.

Also you can run in at the last second, the door shuts on you and the elevator is already going down before you enter. And splat, you are dead.

I have never died to this, but made a char on era to see for myself how people ended up in a pile at the bottom. And this is my conclusion.

FIX: Don’t run into the elevator if you suspect the door will close before you are safely inside. Also don’t run up against anything, stay near the middle of the platform.

The odd thing is I have never died on that elevator, or in fact on any elevator, since 2005. I did come close on the Shattrath elevator once.

I doubt Nek’rosh had lag.

Died all the time in shattrath on my alts. Druid main, so used to dismount and fall down into flight form since it was faster. Alts didn’t have flight form haha.

Yes, bags are indeed cursed items. If you get a bag before level 10, it’s bad karma
If you get a bag before level 6, you become truly cursed so might as well save time and make a new character as this one won’t live for long

Been ther done that - Pally main.

Has anyone analysed which colour bag s worse luck?

Seen plenty of corpses at the elevator…

Do you wait for them to go down and then come back up just to be safe?

No, I go through when the doorway is open and stand in the middle until the other door opens.

The UC elevator is a metaphor of humanity‘s endless stupidity. It is obvious and easy to do what needs to be done. And yet, it seems insurmountable

Are you in that guild? been there pwned that?

No, sounds like fun guild though :wink:

The worst one is black, it’s imminent doom. Second worst is red, the colour of blood. It means near death experience is going to happen with lethal possibility.
Other bags bring negative karma but way safer.
