IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

[Wavicle]

I always assumed this was possible, but I had never seen it until today.

I died at the same moment I levelled, and thereby rezzed myself. It was hilarious and awesome!
 

 

 

[Chrono-Bot]

Excellent dismount!

[Psyonico]

I've done it once or twice, usually because I'm on a ranged character and travel time for attacks lets me die or I hit them with a DOT right before dying.

 

It is rare though, nice screen grab.

[Placta]

I pulled this off with Self-Destruction once in the before times. I retired Self-Destruction afterwards because I was never, ever, ever going to top that.

I've had this happen when on a team, died very close to leveling, while team mates kept fighting, I leveled not at the same moment, but after dying and laying down. When the level popped, I miraculously arose. 😄

 

Congrats! ^_^v

The real trick is to rez yourself with your own Howling Twilight cast just before death... and then level!  I haven't managed that one yet either though.

[The_Warpact]

Is it strange that I thought you meant your virginity? Imagine my surprise when the thread was about something totally different. 

 

I know, I know, issues and all that.

[Cancrusher]

That is epic, guys.  Have to confess I've never managed this (nor was I even aware it was possible). 😎👍

I would rank this as equally likely as turning in to a Rikti Monkey after using Secondary Mutation. Good work!

I did that twice during the gladiator arena in a SBB in the same SBB.

The timing on Howling Twilight self-rezzes is SO TIGHT, but I keep trying to do it... I've done it once before, and that somehow convinces me that it's repeatable.

[Black Talon]

This happened to me once as well, back in the pre-shutdown days.  I do have all thanks that the Devs presumably anticipated this moment, and rigged it so that there would be a rez superseding death/defeat; yeah, as best I recall I did have the consequential debt to deal with, but this is a relatively small price to pay in the face of hitting the hosp and/or leaving teammates one fist short in a major big-league scrap.  Nice to see that this has happened to someone else over the course of the years. 🙂

It only happened to my Grav/Dark twice when I was leveling and afterwards, and I did play that toon a bit after 50 (that's usually where I start to roll new ones), so yeah it doesn't happen all the time.  On the other hand if you think about it as you're obviously getting overwhelmed, it's worth a shot.

There really ought to be a badge for level-rezzing.

[Doomguide2005]

Don't recall ever rezzing by leveling, but I did exit a mission redside on my level 49 Stalker on a double xp weekend to be greeted by my level 50 ding as I zoned into Grandville. Yay!

Last time I used it was when I got that, twice, in a row. What are the odds?

[ThaOGDreamWeaver]

Had this on a lowbie toon, doing some light buffage on a fire farm a few days ago...

 

...got yelled at because I didn't wait for Vengeance to be up 😛

I've only been back to back monkeyed once. Oddly enough, it made me click it more during combat as a way to thumb my nose at RNGeezus.

Neither the HCWiki nor CoD describes the likelihood of this, but I've similarly experienced a twice occurring Rikti Monkey devolution. It is rare to be sure.

Monkey Blast When?

 

[DoctorDitko]

I figure it's a quantum thing, like USB-A ports. You try to plug it in, fail, then turn it around, fail, because the USB device is in superposition until you actually observe it. So then you look at the plug, it's waveform collapses, and now you can plug it in.

 

My practice is to announce, "Fear my Monkey-form!" before hitting secondary mutation. The only times I've turned into a monkey have been when I forgot.*

Citation needed. Can you *prove* you've never been attacked by a tiger?

[Haijinx]

I'm pretty sure that counts as not dying.
