New Game: What's Your Favorite Glitch/Bug?!

Shakenbake393
Since we the ESO community have been handed a plethora of bugs and glitches, let us hear what your favorites are! I'll start.

Although blue screens and loading screens in the middle of a fight are fun, I'd have to say my favorite glitch goes this way:

I see an enemy approach as I am in stealth. I think to myself, "Self, this is it. This poor fella is toast." I wait until the terrain is in my favor and I lunge out and strike. Perfect hit! My target is temporarily stunned. So far, so good..., but wait, something isn't right. I can't swing my sword! I can't activate my next ability. All I can do is run around in circles trying to dodge the counter attack (I can't actually dodge roll of course) while my sword does some sort of a half swing! I must look like the biggest idiot right now, both in the game and IRL as I'm helplessly mashing my controller as if that will somehow fix things. I'm either going to live though this and feel accomplished for having beat both my opponent AND the game, or I'm about to drink some hot, fresh tea (after all, serving up some fresh brew to a defeated ambusher is always nice).

So that's it, my favorite. Let's hear yours! While you're at it, I'd also love to hear when these wonderful experiences will be nothing more than a distant tale of olden times, when things were so perfect. (That's your queue to chime in [Z])

    I had 3 funny one happened to me.

    1. It was like my 4th day playing and I finally got a horse and I was running and suddenly hit a invisible wall, but wait I am falling, but I am not falling? Dead out of nowhere for 360k from fall damage... Respawn in place made me fall through the ground.

    2. Melee Staff, that one was funny. My staff weapon model was stuck in my hand no matter what I used, it only showed the staff as a weapon. Until...I died...

    3. Out of Map exploration... Why? Because of this stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_hsPkCqp3Q

    I love the glitch where you fall/knocked down to the ground and you stay lying down while moving.
    Looks hilarious.

    Running in place waiting for the ground to load is quite fun too

    Was stealthed at Bruma anchor while afk. Got booted for being afk. Logged back in when I got in game I was falling from th sky ( was making the falling screaming in a loading screen) and then hit the ground. The best part is that I was dead near aleswell mine. Like half the map away. Made a clip I watch it the laughs.

    As for exploits I don't use em. I know of plenty but I'm not weak or cheap.

    I found this cool glitch, that by farming experience points I can become stronger than everyone else. Was able to replicate on my lower level alts.

    It used to be the goblin horse surfing bug. Great fun riding into fights standing on your horse. After they fixed that it was the purge bug, which, after being fixed, is now a badly needed feature.

    Targeting a World Boss that has adds. Looks like it will be a bit rough. I slot Explosive Charge because I feel like there will be multiple opportunities to use it because of said adds, and to facilitate a bit of mobility (which I lack as a Templar.) Begin battle: Structured Entropy, Vampire's Bane (on boss,) into Explosive charge (to spike the adds a bit and make them easier to do away with.) Oops... locked into charge animation. FOR THE ENTIRE FIGHT I AM JUST STANDING THERE WITH A USELESS LASER SPEAR. I am just running around blocking and spamming "Q" because that's all that will work for a few minutes. Going into my inventory menu and/or character menu hoping that it will "reset" my character's actions so I don't have to be embarrassed when someone wanders up and sees me dead. Embarrassing. ;)

    Oh and I forgot the ones where you can walk right into an enemy keep because the wall isn't there, or the Templar bubble bug with talons that can teleport you in random directions.

    Today I 'fell' through the grates on the top of a keep while sieging it... I died from the fall damage.

    I love the glitch were u are fighting some mobs in craglorn to get at some ore or wood and another player comes up and takes the ore or wood and runs off

    This is my favorite glitch although no one else sees it when it happens.

    This is called the Weapon Swap glitch which you use weapon ability and double weapon swap before ability is used.

    Let's see...

    #1 Using weapon effects (Grim focus, Evil hunter) and then swapping. Can be pretty cool when jumping, looks like you're sometimes holding an invisible blade.

    #2 Charge stuck. Man, do I hate this one, takes a good 5 seconds to unstuck.

    #3 Sometimes, randomly, the client has too much to load. Yep, you guessed it, the ground isn't loaded yet. Fall into OBLIVIOOOOOOOOON (includes random TP around the map while crafting. Because).

    #4 Dragon leap and morphs. Between the "I leap and eat 2 loadings screens in a row", and the "I find myself TP-d 5km away from the fight, dead from a 2.4M damage fall (yes, I had this one. From BRK to above Sejanus, and I do mean above, like 50 meters above the outpost).

    #5 AP drinks and food look nice, let's grab a bunch! *buys 50 of one*. Oh wait, there's no effect to eating those? Well, screw my AP then.

    #6 Out of world exploration. There's a dungeon in which that happens to me like 50% of the time. And then I went to the border, only to be stuck in fall animation for 15 seconds, before being kicked for "spamming the server" (go figure), relog, and be dead of 100k+ damage fall.

    #7 Getting CC'd by 1 NPC. 4. Times. In. A. Row. Because CC immunity is overrated anyway. Not only with NPCs by the way, WB has to be my favorite "chain CC you to death" ability, knockbacking you twice in a row, and then stunning you.

    #8 Back from WW form to human. Wait, why am I invisible for like 10 seconds and can't use any skills?

    #9 Skills getting stuck because of sprint / dodge roll / weapon swap when you lag a bit. When this happens in a fight...

    Don't forget the glitch which all abilities, even light and heavy attack seem to not work, but to others they are working. It was like l killed you without attacking._.

    The WW in a chair.

    Few dungeons have a camera point where all terrain/wall textures turn off and you see land behind it. One in Coldharbor at a doorway.

    Oh yea Time travelling in Stonefalls and stealing alot of items out of towns with no NPCs around to stop you. (specific quest shown on my video with staff glitch)

    My favorite by far was at the beginning in the game in the wailing prison. Before I walked into the prophets cell I caught on fire and poof! I was invisible, the rest of the tutorial went as normal (except I was invisible the entire time) and when I loaded into daggerfall I was dead. :D
