What's been a great time in game for you lately?

MissBizz · August 2016

We've had these threads before but I feel like there could never be enough of them! Feel free to post your best times had, or maybe if you often share them, try posting something that is more recent!

I've shared plenty of great times on these forums, so I figured I'd post a small enjoyment that has happened recently. I've (as I'm sure we all have) have made plenty of friends in ESO, and unfortunately there's a fair amount I just don't get to chat with much anymore of play with. Last night I ended up on TS with a friend from the game and we just chatted away for quite a lengthy time. I decided to pull up the game and start fishing (one day I'll be a master angler!). I've been after some fish in Greenshade for a long long time.. and fishing while just talking I finally managed to get it! I actually squealed with glee and we both had a good laugh. Not a crazy story by any means, but it turned out to be a great night.

I'm also working towards Master Angler, so it's kinda boring atm. Also working towards getting all the motifs with all the Perfect Roe I'm selling. I do like it when people get into some crazy zone chat sometimes, it's quite hilarious, and keeps me entertained

Going from Solo player to guild/group content. Solo is fun but it's nice to share the experience with friends in game.

Oh my golly. That would be amazing. I just broke 100k a few weeks ago!

Absolutely! I find you're more likely to run into fun crazy times with others as well!

I'm the reverse

I broke my bank to buy full necropotence set with traits that I want. And upgraded them all to yellow as well. Now I'm a very poor argonian

Join several trade guilds then do something to make money. Run trials, gather, fish. Whatever. Then sell everything you arent keeping yourself. Obviously some make more then others.

It also helps levels your own stuff so you dont have to buy or trade things with others.

For me it is mostly running trials. There have been days when i log on and have 200k in sales. Now that are very rare, but 10-30k a day is vey doable and it adds up fairly quickly.

Edits do what ever happens to be the prefered way of getting the latest motifs is also a good way to make some gold.

mine was a double edged sword. last night I solo'd 3 dreughs (im only lvl 19 Templar and not dps), Felt so cool about it, then came crashing down to earth as I didn't spot a mudcrab I'd agro'd who took me out in one hit. Hoping no-one nearby saw it as it was a little embarrassing.

Gotta watch out for those mudcrabs...

I don't think one has ever killed me in ESO. It was the first thing to kill me in Skyrim though!

@Cazzy @Abeille @Nestor Hey, you folks! Get over here and share some stories!

AntMan100673 · August 2016

Queued up to do a random normal dungeon the other day hoping to get the pledge dungeon. Got grouped for SotH which I hadn't done so I was equally happy with that. The group I was with were 3 people that obviously knew each other and they'd queued to get another dps. They were all great, no drama when anyone died in a boss fight, they explained all the mechanics to me before the boss fights so I actually know the dungeon now and could explain it to someone else, we traded drops with each other to help towards completing sets. Just a great experience and what MMO's are all about in my mind.

Were you playing back before silver and gold got nerfed? It was funny people would complain on the forums about it. Here you are you just defeated Molag, so off you go to do The Silver quest line for Cadwell. Step off the boat and well you want to see how much harder it is, you are a vet now after all! So you see a little mudcrab and you attack it. And you die.

From defeating a god, to being killed by a mudcrab in minutes.

@vyndral13preub18_ESO Yes I was playing (been playing since April 2014) but I'm REAL slow. I believe I didn't get my first VR character until Christmas, so VR zones had already been nerfed... a few times. As well, when I FINALLY hit VR14 (max at the time)... they announced VR16 either 2 days before or 2 days after I hit it. lol. I always had a few characters on the go and apparently spend a lot of time doing no-xp stuff (including doing quests even when I was too high of level to get any XP other than the actual quest turn in)

JD2013 · August 2016

Levelling my magicka Templar has been enormous fun.

And levelling alchemy (now at lvl 46!) and Enchanting (now at lvl 43!) has been hard but great.

Soloing Dolmens and world bosses, rediscovering quests I'd forgotten about. It's a lot of fun.

Eventually I'm going to conquer the Maelstrom with my Templar. Oh yes. Victory shall be mine.

@Cazzy @Abeille @Nestor Hey, you folks! Get over here and share some stories!

Okay, this happened last week:

So, I have this friend that made his Argonian on the Ebonheart Pact, while I made my Argonian in the Dominion. In preparation for One Tamriel, we started fishing in Cyrodiil, and once One Tamriel dropped we would fish together on the rest of the maps to both get Master Angler.

We needed Foul Water, so we went to fish around the Imperial City. We expected to be attacked eventually, but several people passed by and no one attacked. One Covenant folk even came and sat between the two of us, seemingly wanting to watch us fish (too bad that fish hole was almost empty already). We then waved and saluted each other and the Covenant folk left.

I'm one fish short of getting Cyrodiil Fisher (blue lake fish), and we were not attacked once while fishing. Very nice of the PvP community.

You picked a lucky night to fish! I've fished in Cyrodiil and have been killed plenty of times. Although yes, there's been a few nights where the "enemy" had even joined me in fishing!

That's amazing @AntMan100673 ! It really is a great time to have an experience like that, like you imagine and hope it is every time.

Recremen · August 2016

PvP is absolutely always a good time for me. It's such an engaging combat system.

Nestor · August 2016

This weekend was a normal weekend for me. I was farting around in a Delve this weekend I had skipped while doing Silver on an Alt. There was an on level player in there who asked me for help with the Boss. So, we grouped up did the boss. He then asked for help with a Dolmen and a World Boss. We took them out, then started talking guilds. I invited him (her?) into Lone Wolf Help.

I also spent a bunch of gold this weekend completing the Thieves Motif and Pact motifs on my Crafter. So, thank you farmers. Without you, I would still not have those motifs.

Cazzy · August 2016

A few things recently!

When costume dyes were out on PS4 I ran to a quiet location in Silver Zone to try it out. There was one other dude there but that was it. We both finished dyeing at the same time, looked at each other to admire each other's ensemble and the cheered at the exact same moment. T'was awesome

Another time in PvP an enemy managed to get trapped inside a giant rock. Now, I play fair. So I spent a good 10 minutes trying to help him get out...so i could kill him fairly xD

Not so awesome but memorable: I tend to flit between ESO and Fallout on PS4. On Fallout the jump button is triangle. On ESO it's a deadly spell

I'm claiming manslaughter on that one.

I also have the Freefall Legs in Fallout, which is where you take no fall damage. Why I forget this in ESO is beyond me. I've jumped willing off a few tall cliffs with people watching. I just lie there for a while dumbfounded by my own stupidity

DRXHarbinger · August 2016

Finally killed an OP emp. Just 2 of us left. Sorc negated him cornered in a keep and managed to javelin, jab and jezuz beam him to death. Negate finally turned up for someone. This dude is 13m ap in with 12 days to go lol.

Farming the widowmaker set....

Hahahahaha

wayfarerx · August 2016

So Lone Wolf Help was doing our Monday night dungeon runs last night. My group is in vet Fungal Grotto and we had just put the beat down on Reggr Dark-Dawn. We had pulled him up on the stairs like always to avoid all the Obsidian Warriors in the room and someone had jumped down to grab the husk thing.

@UrQuan is just standing on the stairs where we fought the boss, minding his own business, when one of the Obsidian Warriors in the room goes crazy and decides to ambush the poor guy. No warning, no aggro, just one enraged Obsidian Warrior screaming "Banzai!" and going for the kill. I almost missed healing him in time because it was so sudden and I was laughing so damn hard.

Moral of the story is to watch out for those Obsidian Warriors! Some of them have some serious 10-star forum rage or something.

Tea bagging dead bodies then reading hate messages for it. It makes my day complete.

I actually pictured them being the type that didn't even contribute to the kill yet tbags away lol.

But as for my great time recently, it was when I was going to craft some Magnus armour and ran into a new player asking for help with the group dungeon nearby (the one in Shadowfen). He sounded pretty defeated, and no one had responded at all, so I took a bit of time and put off making the armour to help him run through it and afterwards made him his first set gear. He was thrilled, and it felt good to help a new player out

I've been waiting for Zeni to actually fix stuff before I come back, and from everything I'm hearing, from GF STILL being broken to an epidemic of infinite loading screens in some areas, it doesn't look like I'll be back anytime soon.
