LOL no. Why die last?

Plus then your group rezzes up at a different keep and you're left there going "I'm not dead yet!"

If you can survive and then rezz others, yeah.

If you can tie up a ton of enemies hunting/chasing you, yeah.

there are also times when the rest of your group should have ran too - and strung the enemy out, later turning on them a few at a time - turning a lose into a win..

(btw, I treat my whole alliance as my group - a really unruly group who never stay on the crown, but they're all MY ***!)

This is called advancing in a different direction.

[when solo] It depends on the state of the campaign. Like if it's 60 DC rolling down from Ash to BB, I'll show up in case there's a legitimate defense, but I'll probably lose patience with being run over for nothing after Roe.

I go down fighting most of the time though.

In a group, a point usually comes when remaining players should try to escape to deploy an FC.

Because "they don't like the idea of dying" and think they can provide recon until the group recovers or comes back to the fight.

I play in an organized raid, so that the sort of behavior that just makes me think "why are you playing with a group if you don't want to stick with the group?"

Its one thing to have a designated person to sneak away and lay down a rez camp, but otherwise I prefer to fight and die with my group. If I didn't want to do that, I'd solo zerg surf.

Aside from specifically going to try and get a forward camp, I can't think of a good reason to abandon (that's the word you're using) your groupmates. I don't like to die either, but ideally we do the best we can and stick it out together.

geonsocal

Yes, occasionally

it's not that hard to do a quick scan - count heads, watch the flow of the fight...

for those poor mag toons that are always huffing amd puffing - pop a stam pot, shimmy to the left, shimmy to the right, back away "gracefully"...find a nice rock or hill to watch the action...

then, decide if it's better to blood port somewhere else - or, fall back a bit, try to rez folks, and, wait for more forces...

my magblade almost never has to die...it sometimes feels like a curse...lotta lonely mount rides on that character...

No

Two words...Soul Shatter.

You charge into the zerg and....

BOOM

*soul blown*

IxSTALKERxI

No

You should never abandon your group, always follow your leader to your deaths. If you all commit to a bad call without hesitating there is a better chance of surviving than ignoring the bad call altogether.

On the other hand if you are solo zerg surfing, if AD are going to lose the fight then you should definitely abandon them and fall back to the next line of defence.

Vapirko

No

I think a fair number of battles are lost because people choose to run the other way instead of die. Idk why people take dying so seriously in this game. I mean be strategic about it but don’t let your faction mates lead the charge alone.

Derra

Yes, frequently

Always packing forward camps - better live and place a tent than die for nothing.

Marabornwingrion

Yes, frequently

I'm a nightblade, what do you expect

The Uninvited

Yes, occasionally

If I'm packing forward camps it's the better option.

Brrrofski

If you're a nb who can get away and either get a camp up or pick people up, fair enough.

Otherwise there's no point. They just zerg you down when they're done with your group.

Torbschka

Yes, always

Yes, if the fight is clearly lost im out - arising a camp and every1 is happy

WaltherCarraway

Yes, occasionally

I stealth away because I'd like to try putting down a camp which should rez more people if suceeded

SugaComa

No

No as a support player it's my job to stay and erm support ... I do sometimes get carried away with my roll and realise the team has died respawned and moved except for maybe me and two or three other who in valiently keeping alive or rezzing or when need getting that final killing blow

Kram8ion

No

Not intentionally anyway but I have chasing disorder and 5 days sober

Nermy

Only to place a camp.

RDMyers65b14_ESO

No

I have seen victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. You never know if another group of your alliance will be coming through the breech... Or even on occasion, another faction. I have in the past been at Chal when the AD showed up to distact the EP long enough for DC to take the flags and close the inner.

HidesFromSun

Yes, occasionally

I occasionally do it, but only if I think I can rez the others to continue the fight

Kybotica

Yes, rarely

I will, but only if the group can feasibly rez and win the future battle at the same location. If we're on camp cooldown, or another, higher-priority target for offense/defense has arisen, II stand with the group. As a nightblade, it is partially my job to ensure that we can rez if possible, and with cloak I am one of the better candidates to do so.

So, no but yes?

DeadlyRecluse

Yes, frequently

Forward camps are clutch.

I'll only bail if we are fully losing, though. one or two deaths in a 6 man? I'm sticking around. Just me and one friend left, with more enemies visibly approaching? "Peel for me, getting clean."
