The Leading Cause of Death

[CoffeeCup]

Probably this statistic already exists somewhere, but what do you think the leading cause of deaths is for the majority of players?

I'm going to guess blood loss from wolf attacks gets most people, most times.

[Leeanda]

More than likely you're right.. some might say human error though but that's not a stat in the game. 😁

@Leeanda
 I would 100% agree, "Bad Decisions" is the champion root cause of player death.

[conanjaguar]

Yeah, definitely the wolves… after a chance gust of wind .

That and really bad luck.😁.   

To be honest my main cause of death is falling from a great height which is definitely 100% players fault, 😅

[hozz1235]

I would think exposure would be a pretty good candidate too.

[Sito]

Stupidity. Usually 3 stupid decisions or lack of stacked to make 100% probability of death.

[FreshYoMama]

surprisingly i have never died once in survival... but that's because i always make it super easy for myself 

[Glflegolas]

The top 3 are probably:

• wolf attacks
• hypothermia
• falling

[xanna]

For me it's

• bear
• bear
• bear

I think there should be some type of memorial there

Good idea.    Not sure what though.. maybe a huge stone cache type thing ?

Lol...    😊

She was certainly more graceful.  But she wasn't carrying a ton of stuff on her back..

Do you really think it would matter? 😄

Maybe not..   but at least she got to admire the view 😁

[RedFox]

For me:

1. Human Error (Stupid Decisions)

2. Wolves.

That broken up road on the way to Forsaken Airfield seems like it's even easier to charge over the edge in the middle of a blizzard.

At broken?  Yes I know what you mean..      

I know either side of that bridge is instakill  so I imagine it's the same there too.

Oh, no.  I meant the gap in the cliff road at Whealey's Turn (?)  Not sure if that's what its name is.

Oh I see... I think I know which one you mean..   I can imagine it's an easy thing to do there though.

no idea what the name is either but I can't remember half of the ones on any map.😊

Overconfidence, and seemingly unimportant mistakes adding up over the course of a run

This. Wolf attacks are most for me.

But little mistakes that dont seem important at first add up and often force you into risky situations you KNOW are dangerous. (which often leads to to animal attacks)

[xanna]

I think for me wolves and bears are the (indirect) cause of my silly mistakes. Playing on a Dead World setting with no animals has really shown me how many of my bad decisions are caused by reacting to wolves.
