Indeed. I love all the events. Something bad happened to me yesterday though.
230,000 kills with 0 deaths. I took pride in my soloing accomplishments. But my two-year-old niece was causing havoc around me. It was my fault for not just staying off Ladder Slasher while babysitting. But she was about to break a lamp in my room and had also thrown some food all over the floor. I rushed over to stop her. I must have forgotten to "Go To Town" from the Catacombs. I got back to the game and noticed I had suffered Death 1 on my character. My niece was also pounding away on my keyboard at the moment I had gotten back. It took me a couple minutes to clean up the mess she had made.
LOL, but that's the advantage of not playing Hardcore right? I can suffer a fluke death and still continue. But with my OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder) and being a perfectionist. In the past I always started a new character when I died. However, this time I can't with over 230,000 kills and nearly Rank 15 Warhammer Proficiency. Next person still has Rank 10.
So I decided to die a 2nd time on purpose just for fun. Just to prove to myself that it means absolutely nothing because it's not even Hardcore anyway. And it felt wonderful actually. A sense of freedom to die again just because I wanted to. Sometimes imperfections can be beautiful. So now I've got 2 deaths. And I plan to still go on with my character. However I just feel shy and embarrassed without seeing 0 deaths on my character now. I've hidden my Ladder Slasher stats on my profile because it's too soon for me.
On the plus side I'm also more aggressive now. I'll be in fights all the way down to 50 or 100 life. Dying no longer matters. Before I went to town at around 500-800 life. I'm just going to try and stay focused now. Keep playing for fun. Not worry too much about anything else.
I'll just play the game without any added stress of trying to be perfect. I should've done that all along. It feels good to talk about it. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing.
P.S. You lose proficiency experience when you die.
Thanks,
