Your Most Do'h Stupid Moment(s)

Jemcrystal

This is not about someone else's dumb. Post on yourself only. Also, no trolling posters if you have nothing shameful about yourself to add and then no trolling. Keep the teasing friendly.

I felt really stupid when I tried to remove my crafting addon thinking it was borked. Logged all the way out. Had folder set aside and contents moved. Then it occurred to me why my crafting table was not letting me disassemble. Doah, my inventory was full. Omg stupid.

My other stupid move of the day was in Cyrodiil world pvp the leader left the raid and I got popped with the crown. I was thinking man, I gotta go to work in 20 minutes. So my dumb, I popped the crown onto this one guy who impressed me in battle. Turned out he was afk. All these peeps suddenly entered zone with LFG and he wasn't adding them. If I had only thought to ask who wanted the crown. Do'h stupid.

I had a "Do'h" moment when i was running around in Cyrodiil with JUST a Costume on (no gear) and wondering why i was dying. I was PISSED! lol -.-

When I played the game on the xbone last year and had more money than sense, I bought the glass motif book (5000cr) when i was drunk and popped it open on the wrong toon. Not only did I spend money on something I normally wouldn't have and would have regretted it regardless, I opened the *** book using the wrong character.

That's terrible!!

Made 2 Gold daggers. Went to apply the gold enchants which didn't seem to be working. Oh daggers were only cp150 instead of 160. Never craft in a hurry.

Not really. I got what i deserved and still haven't learned my lesson. I still play the game to this day (now on the PS4) and still make bad decisions regarding the CS when drinking. CS and drink are simply a bad combination.

That's why drinks are free in Vegas; so you make bad decisions.

Deconned a sharp vma dagger back when the meta was precise precise precise..didn't even get the dwemer frame.

Sold an imperial motif for 10k rather than 100k.

Deleted my stamplar as made it by mistake, wanted a DK but somehow did the wrong class. Made it max level and gave it tons of gear...didn't remove the gear before deleting it.

pattyLtd

1. Oh lets see streak to my death in the most silly sort of situations repeatedly.
2. Last week i went to buy an elegant ring but somehow bought the other one.
3. Crafting max level gear for writs accidently.
4. Crafting max level stuff without selecting the set piece tab first.
5. And the list goes on ...

NativeJoe

1. Accidentally deconned my gear / drop only sets from trials multiple times
2. Trusted people to pay me back by the millions in gold at this point
3. Invested heavily into crafting, motifs, and am a 9 trait crafter- and I don't craft for anybody since IC miss crafts put me hundreds of thousands into debt with accidental non-set crafting for people that where only tipping me 5k per piece
4. making a sorc my one and only main character I put all my eggs into-
5. investing in shield tanking -which once the nerfs came around for shields I could no longer tank trials with
6. made millions in gold investments into making odd builds that arn't meta that pan out to be terrible in practice.
7. Donated to my trade guilds and invested in them heavily only to be kicked later on
8. Used my mail as a storage device and lost around 3 million gold in mats including 110 tempers by letting them expire
9. Spent 2 years not using macro's and 1 year not using animation canceling because I was afraid it would get me banned.
10. Didn't buy the Banker and exploit it like many of my friends did that netted them Millions in gold nor take part in many of the farming exploits that have occurred over the years that would have made me rich and super high CP.- and had I done it- I'd more then likely have a character list full of max level toons.

DigitalShibby

Spending a bunch of crowns on dyes for costumes to later realize my subscription means I could have just used a dye station.

kargen27

Made a full set of 160 yellow armor and weapons enchanted them with yellow before realizing I forgot to trait them.

Was looking for a particular drop set of armor and deconstructed everything I got that wasn't the set I needed (sold the jewelry) then found out what I was deconstructing was the go to set for some PvP builds and they were spending 100s of thousand gold to get them for some of the pieces.

Tried to jump into the ocean and missed.

ArchMikem

I'm in the rush to kit out my new character with Dual Magnus Swords while the Armor was going to be Julianos. I craft everything, and I have the materials to make the swords 160 and purple. Only AFTER crafting and improving the swords, did I finally notice that I made the swords at the Julianos station, not the Magnus.

zuto40

attempting to bomb a zerg of 20 on a flag, realized after i jumped in, i didnt have my ult, many balls were on my face that day

Narvuntien

My first death in cryodill was to slaughterfish. To be fair there was no warning...

I didn't realise that once I equiped gear it was bound to my account so when I hit 160 and I was shopping trying to find the right gear cheaply (so I was buying things with bad traits because they were under 500 gold) only to undoing all my attempts at saving money by not keeping track of what I had and what I didn't so I ended up duplicating a lot of my gear over multiple different sets and then I had to rearrange what was what inorder to get 5-5-2. Now I have a bunch of purple 160 gear I don't need and can't sell.

I am constantly accidently hitting q and r...and I have a lot of trouble with ` as the weapon swap button I want to switch it to something more conviennt but everything seems to be taken.

FloppyTouch

Deconstructed my gold staff not just one or two times but 3 this was before the lock item was added and I was spamming the decon button every time not paying attention.

This was not at the same time but over months guess I never learn

TY ZoS for adding lock item XD

MoeCoastie

I have "duh" moments daily.

from initiating a gank combo without my ulti up to accidentally unstealthing prior to attacking. Starting a bow rotation on one target and ambushing a different one. Pouring 3 oil pots over the inner door way way way after the fight has ended only realizing situation after the dtick.

biggest "duh" moments are when I think attacking Reddington is a good idea.

theher0not

This has happen twice. First with my NB secondly with my temp.

I spent over 15 minutes in the character creation to get the perfect look on my char(both where khajiit). Selects the name and press create, I then realise I did not pick AD as my faction. Really frustrating since I spent a lot of time on both getting the body and face perfect.

Because of this I had to delete and recreate both in the correct faction.

I also bought the Adventure pack only because I wanted to play as a khajiit when I played trough the DC and EP story lines, a short time after I found out about Cadwell's silver and gold.

I got ya beat. I was ready to craft my first set of max level gear for my main char. I made the armor, chose the style, spend tons of money getting it to gold. A work of art. When I went to enchant it - the same happened as did to you. The enchants weren't working.

Yeah, I had made a set of Level 1 gold armor.

Your Most Do'h Stupid Moment

I usually find waking up is the first one of the day. It usually goes downhill from there.

If I had only thought to ask who wanted the crown. Do'h stupid.

I've had a couple scenarios -I of course blame myself, but also crappy game design:

1. I've dismantled 3 pieces of nirnhoned gear from my bank because I didn't know you had to lock items before banking them. (This is one where I blame ZOS more than myself, seriously why should I have to lock items in my bank). I think realistically anybody over level 10 dismantles all white gear without a second thought - I didn't even know what happened until hours later when I say I had Crux in my inventory, and 3 missing pieces out of 5 in the bank. Yeah, buy-bye roughly 25k in gold it took to buy those

2. This one comes down to me trying to rush through menus - I have accidentally enchanted over atleast 4-5 enchantments made from Kutas in my time, essentially swapping them for crappier enchants - and why? Because I wanted to charge my staff mid-battle and didn't bother to read and just mashed x. (I've since learned better and always take the extra second)

3. I bought 45 crown crates. I mean, I got a bunch of good stuff, but self-explanatory.

4. Accidentally selling all 400 of my potions because the games U.I. constantly reorders itself everytime I sell something - this one I absolutely blame on ZOS - but again it can also be chalked down to me reading. I always sell the health potions I pick up, the crafted ones I can make are better, so I always go to sell them - and sometimes they'll be first in the list of potions - but then I sell an Iron Helmet or something irrelevant and somehow my potions end up on top... too bad 'buy it back' is so limited because in that case in particular I noticed it too late, potions gone forever.

Fodore

Imagine this, you are pushing a corner at fort ash, many blues inside, just before we push into it what do I do? I put my negate in there... Only it wasn't the right bar and I dawnbreakerd the air...

Back in the day was running Elden Hollow vet and was just about to fight Bogdan. I reminded the group not to fall over the edge.......10 seconds later, who do you suppose fell over the edge DOH!!

Oh you're one of those guys too?! Yeah I can't count the number of times I did stuff like that.
In Trials, saying "let's focus guys, no deaths" then be the first one to die cause I somehow decided it was wise to charge my enchants on the vMA weapons during a boss fight...! Ikr.
In HRC, "guys watch out for the shield throw!" - stands right in it and doesn't even think to block.
In AA, "guys remember to block the Storm Atronach's AoEs!" - doesn't block and dies.
In SO, "guys watch out for the meteor!" - forgets what he just said and moves out too late.
In MoL, "guys go for the burn!" - starts running to the back room before realizing what he just said and runs back towards the boss, but somehow touches a blue pad and dies...

Man, I don't even know how the team still accepts me... #FrenchSolidarity

Egocanemveresum

Doing VSO on my sorc. On the next to last boss, I had streak on to help pull levers and get back to the group. Fighting the boss and swap bars real fast to activate power surge that was number 2, I hit 1 which streak was slotted on, and streaked off the edge.

When to go make a set of hist bark when Vet 16 first came out, rushing to get it done went to Hunding Rage station instead so had a full set of Vet 16 heavy Hunding rage gear. Was lucky though and was able to sell it to someone pvping. I still lost a lot of gold from the mats. I learn to never craft in a hurry. I always double check the stuff before making it now, also reason I usually only craft for myself, don't take orders because of how many mats is the different between cp 150 and cp 160.

MaxwellC

I remember when I was 1v4ing some AD of Sejanus bridge n I was like yeah I'm timing my dodge rolls right when I need them but unfortunately I dodge rolled backwards which I guess ricocheted me off the bridge.

Tylersoh

On my first day of PvP I ran all the way to Chalman Keep and I started at the Northern High Rock Gates

itehache

I deconstructed many armor pieces with the divines trait because for a long time I didn't know about the "lock" option, and when I deconstruct I tend to do it quickly and not thinking about it... Those sets wouldn't be good for me anymore but still xD I was really mad at myself.

Graynh

Spent over 200 keys getting a divine grothdarr medium shoulder piece and locked and banked by accident a well fitted one. After clearing my inventory and logging on my magDK trying to take my divine piece I realized that I deconstructed it. Finally got a new one recently but I already have given up on my magDK. Maining a stamplar now as a result, less rng heavy gear

Cavarka

My best was early game, thinking food and drink buffs stacked and were accumulative. Spent 5 minutes downing every single one, one after the other, before every boss fight.

deevoh1991

I have so many
Most of them are stupid mistakes, like I had no idea you could see the traits of items being sold and spammed in chat, I had to induvidually whisper to them to ask for details of it and they'd be like "Dude wtf scroll up" and I'd be like "yeah I did , but what trait does it have?"

I still don't know a lot of principles of crafting :S. I guess that's because no set has appealed to me. I dunno what to do in order to craft a Julianos set since I don't have access to any DLC content. I don;t know what Nirnhoned is.

I tend to ignore alchemy/enchanting/provisioning completely since I'm able to do normal ad vet pledges most time which is what I do 80% of the time when I play

And I had no idea that the centre big chest in pledges were DLC and premium items only (i'm not a subscriber or pay for DLC's). Me being a noob at level 50, kept opening those chests without realising I'd never be able to obtain the helms . Ugh what a waste.

These are actually the less embarassing ones :S
