Have you ever had a rare item fall just inches away from you then you died before you
Painbringer
Have you ever had a rare item fall just inches away from you then you died before you could grab it? I was doing the 1st mission in the desert for the 1st time when I aggroed all the minotaur’s by mistake (didn’t know they had large patrol areas) My henchies dropped leaving me a pile of minotaur’s to kill. I killed one as others killed me and a gold axe dropped I laid next to my lost axe as the mission failed prompted “your party has been defeated”. I just know that axe was a +20% sundering +30 Health +15% DMG> 50% I just know it. Just goes to show watch those patrols!

That's why if I'm in a mision with henchies, I make a grab for the gold ASAP.
Michel Longshorts
Yes. A few times.
It usualy happens in the deep when a chest spawns right next to the Leviathan.
Whats worse is if you are dead and Kannaxi drops a green for you :P

Last weekend, when the double-rare drops were in effect. Me and I Pwn U's team went chests running. Even though the drops were crap, i saw one person who died just as the chest pop-up a gold drop for him.
Ryuko
Once after a few players left while farming FoW, we decided to run for the next chest before leaving. Everyone else died except me, and when I reached the chest, I opened it, and right when the item flipped out, I got killed off by the mob around it. Was a gold hammer.
Mr_eX
I once got a gold Zodiac Sword drop in The Deep in Room 1 in a different part of the room than the one I was in. The party wiped before I could retrieve it. >.<
Sir fredman

FoW chest run. All party died, I was the last one to open the chest and not get a req.8 chaos axe. GG?
Shadowfox1125
It has happened to me before, but it has also helped me.
Kurzick Chest runs during the most recent event--a guy opened the chest and died--it was a req 12 Gothic Sword. I don't know if he didn't notice the drop or thought that he wouldn't ever be rezzed, but he left. and I went and picked it up. I tried to message him and he had logged. Turned out to be a req 12 15^50 Gothic Sword.

Darkstar The Legend
Had this happen during the double event, lost a req 8 platinum blade, but it was more than made up for when running in raisu later one of my running mates died after opening a chest, he had a GPB drop for him. being the nice guy i am, i ran back and used my res sig to let him get it. He got totaly spiked before getting to it and just rage quitted when everyone else said they didn't have a res.
Suffice to say i wasted no time i scooping up that GPB. It was a great moment, 7 warriors all running into a huge mob after the one item.

unholy guardian
2 black dyes... they both dropped at about the same time just as we got pulverized, i just run for it with all my might and right before i grab it something wands me for just enough to kill me :'( meanies!!!
Phantom Gun
Only once during the increased chance of key drops and rares from chest weekend. We went on a run only for some reason I thought we weren't going to actually run. First chest we saw was surrounded by a huge mob and they took out my team pretty quick. I managed to open the chest then bam! Died on front of some gold unid sin daggers. One guy lived and stood at a distance from the chest to see if the mobs would leave. THen he logged. Don't really care though, I don't even have an assassin.

You mean FoW right?
TaiClaw
I was doing Tahnaaki Temple with me and one other person (rest henchies) and a Black Dye dropped for me, I kept fighting to help out , but I got killed by the stupid explosion from the infected warriors.
Worst part about it was that the other person I was with wouldnt res me to pick it up, he waited and waited and waited till he could pick it up for himself, then he left , ingnored me and logged off.

eternal pho
During a chest run, when the someone lured extra mobs to the chest and couldn't retrieve my item because it was blocked..Req.8 GPB.
Sli Ander
I was testing a solo smiting build on some undead, and overstayed my welcome just a tad. The only black dye that I've ever had dropped for me appeared. I swear I just sat there and stared blankly at the screen for about 2 minutes. Kept on moving the camera so I could see it around the "return your party to the outpost" button.
VitisVinifera
yeah kurz chest run last weekend like a few others here. Mine was a gold JUG, and those tiny three gold letters, I just couldn't find the damn thing! Huge mob, people running in and out, and I simply couldn't locate it. So I just had to wait for the run to end and everyone to leave so I could rez, and I got the (soon to be worthless) thing.....

Poor Abdul. He just missed those daggers. I have had a couple of those drops happen. One of the worst things was having a Shard drop for me back when they were pretty expensive and me dying before i could get too it.
Ranger Rog
Back when the IDS was first introduced I went on a skill cap/IDS run with a full pug party. We all capped and headed into the cave to kill imps, it was a pretty good team, everyone seemed pretty friendly. We got to the very last mob of imps and an IDS dropped for me just as I died. The party cleared the mob and all of them but one started camping the IDS waiting for it to time out, it was pretty pathetic to see the feeding frenzy. After a minute of me politely asking for a res (I knew at least a couple of them had hard res too) the lone guy not acting like a circling vulture rebirthed me and I ran and got my sword. Natually I thanked him but it was really pathetic to see how the others all reacted, calling him names for ressing me. One guy who took it very badly had me PM'ing him with "I'm Wielding an IDS" until I made his ignore list

Griff Mon
I've laid dead more than a couple of times with gold items or shards in FoW dying just as I was grabbing for it. I make a point of finishing off the mob before picking up my drops. I hate it when people in the middle of a fight run into a mob to get their drop.
wilson
riverside province, a very long time ago, back in the days when runes were still worth a lot. i was doing the bonus and one of the watchtower guards dropped a gold armor for me. but the drop was not over the stairs, where you can actually grab it, but on the back of the watchtower. im still convinced it was a superior absorption. 
Poison Ivy
3 ecto drops in UW in a friggin row...that 55 I was with was so busy congratulating he forgot he had to stay alive to get it...than he died, smites came at me like monkeys after bananas and killed me, ectos were like 16k back than o.o
Carinae
I remember dying right next to Rago's Flame Wand (when it was worth 80k-ish).... and then Orozar died and it was lost.
After that we just decided not to die anymore and that solved that.

Yea, happened to me a couple of times. Lost a Victo's Axe, an ecto, and some other greens that way. Both times some person w/o scruples stole them

Gates of Kryta- farming (solo)
2 black dyes dropped and i died as i was running to get them. Been back many time to farm, but no other black dyes. I was...... moderately upset at the time.
Would be nice, like the end of a mission sometimes, if you are defeated, to be able to claim your uncollected items after you return to the base. That way everyone focuses on killing, instead of making sure you grab your stuff in the middle of a fight.

Cyan The Archer
Never happend to me. (/point /laugh /taunt)
But once i was the only survivor in my group, and had used res sig. A gold item had dropped, and it said it wasnt assigned to anyone. This monk said it were assigned to him(and the party agreed), so i cast Troll Ungent and hit Storm Chaser while rushing the best i can into the mob, to get his gold item for him. I click it: "This item is assigned to another player" (Or something along the line)... I die before i can retreat and the monk suddenly dont like me anymore.... Yay for bugs. He deserved to loose it >_<

Charrbane
One day I decided to try a build I put together for a first IDS solo-run. I had used it successfully on the Ice Imps in Ice Flow (if my memory is right) so I was psyched to try. I got up there to the cave in Mineral Springs no problem. I killed the Imps outside the cave but when I went inside I screwed up and got toasted by the Imps. So I sprinted back up there after respawning to try again. I killed a few Imps and at the point that I got killed again one of them drops a gold max damage fellblade. On my way to run back up there with a -30% DP I get stuck trying to go between a giant and a rock wall and the giants flatten me with a barrage of boulders. Ugh-oh this isn't good. By the time I get past the giants again I'm -60%. If I don't get that fellblade I'm gonna freak out! So I get up there to the cave again but some Imps have come out aways past where the blade is. At this point all I want is to sprint in and grab the sword. I get within clicking distance and I die again. Several tries after that I finally get my fellblade.
One other time I was outside post-sear Ascalon over by that group of Charr near the bridge. I decided to run in there and kill them. Two of them drop dye which was a purple and a silver. Before I could go pick them up I got err=7'd. That sucked. LOL.
I was in one of the Fire Island missions (Abbadons Mouth I think) and a gold armor dropped off one of the Mursaat just before we all got killed and I was pissed having to click on the Return To Outpost button.

Ahh yes. Twas a dark stormy night in Melandru's Hope, my companions were driven mad by the terrors of the dark and could hardly sustain their magics. I then saw a rare chest in the horizon....Awww who the hell am I kidding?
I was running around with the dumbass monk henches and I saw a chest so I ran up to it, aggroing 2 mobs and I THINK a mod of Oni on the way. I was going to use endure pain when my health reached 50% but then my pet died and all my skills recharged, so I ended up dead on the floor right next to a Golden req 8 platinum bow. Luckily after a damned 50 trillion tries and deaths, I got to the bow.
Turned out to be a +15% vs hexed sundering 20/20 of marksmanship, which wasnt bad at all.

need a petition signed for ANET to change it to where if you die in a mission like that you still get your loot when you return to the outpost. it would really eliminate alot of stress from players that are playing this game to have fun. what kind of fun is it to lose a gold item that you paid 1.5k for a key to open the lousy chest? none at all.

Hah! It just happened to me...
I was doing Hell's bonus, when, all of a sudden, a rare Mursaat bow drops, I immediately run up to it -I wanted it alot :P- but, then, I start to lag, jump past it, henchies all die, I am almost there...then!...I slowly die from burning...

MelechRic
I was chest farming in Ring of Fire w/ my Necro. I typically took the two monk hench and Eve along so I could get healed and BR'd whilst spiking the Mursaat. At some point the hench got killed and I was alone and this was the situation:
1. I had Rebirth on the bar since I was N/Mo.
2. I was a short walk back to the henchies w/ some Mursaat patrols in the way. I could have possibly made it back to Rebirth them.
3. I was within sight of a chest guarded by two Jade Warriors.
What did I do...
1. I ran for the chest.
2. Got it open.
3. Saw a req. 8 Mursaat Hornbow drop.
4. Promptly got ganked by the Jades before I could pick it up.
req 8!!!
