Dropping Ultimate in non-combat situations by mistake?

ZiRM

It happens to me often.

sdtlc

that nova in the chest gives a perfect look in every corner tho

Mashille

Literally every time I loot anything.

TequilaFire

On console it is a common occurrence because of lag confusing the client into thinking you pushed L1 + L2 at the same time when in reality you used ability on L1 followed by an ability on L2.

Karm1cOne

Worst default keybind ever.

Vapirko

I frequently run through dungeons and get too hasty with my E followed by R to pick up loot. End up running around blasting dawnbreaker all over dead bodies and hoping my group doesn't think I'm a complete dillhole.

I think I use my ultimate outside of combat more often than in combat

When I first started playing it happened all the time while looting dead guys when I hit 'take all' too quickly before the menu had come up. My solution for that was to switch Primary Action/Accept to R and Secondary Action to E, so 'take all' is E now. (no I don't use autoloot because I don't always want everything when I'm not in a hurry, or when I'm almost full and want to pick and choose what to fill my last slots with).

Nerouyn

Only before I remapped the keybind. The default r is way too close to e.

I remapped to 6 and no longer have this problem.

When I played with a keyboard and mouse all the time. Mostly at the bank. Now since I use a controller, never.

Keldheir

Way too often... Until I bound my ultimate to the middle mouse button. Now it only fires when I want it to fire.

Trinity_Is_My_Name

LOL...yes. Reset my Ultimate key to the "V" key. "R" is just too easy to hit. Considered making the Ult key one of my mouse button keys but haven't done that yet.

Phytanic

All. The. Time. Nothing like dropping a destro as the group is huddled up at the door and about to start the vtrial. "Oh come on, who's was that?" "Uhhh not me, but I gotta go back to my house real quick. I... uhhh... forgot something."

Mapping your bumpers to the paddles on your elite control is a great thing, until you set it down on your leg for a moment. I try to always keep my meteor bar active while idling for a reason.

Turn on auto loot and this won't ever happen again.

Did it a few times trying to reel in a fish. Binding to different keys fixed that.

When housing first came out also set off a few in my humble abode.

smacx250

Always - until I re-mapped it all the wayyyyyyyy over to "T". But who really needs ults anyway?

driosketch

I finally got tired of it and moved my ult to 6 and a side button on my mouse. Now I no longer drop an ult in non combat situations, only sometimes when I mean to hit the skill button next to it.

I was fishing with a friend once, who kept accidentally dropping his Storm Atronach. It was quite funny as it would appear under the water as though it was trying to fry all the fishies for us.

But yes, I am also guilty of mistakenly dropping my ult when harvesting, looting etc....

Jamascus

It usually happens to me after visiting Taco Bell...

Berenhir

Bound to mouse wheel press - never had a problem with accidental ultimate again.

Luigi_Vampa

I rebound the key and it never happens anymore. No more premature ulting.

Tries to loot body, drops Meteor on it instead

I call those "Victory Meteors"

Overload is never having to say you're sorry.

TazESO

Warhorn? I didn't hear one.

Linaleah

all the bloody time. the last straw was when trying to decorate. so I said to myself - this is getting ridiculous... and rebound it to one of my side mouse buttons (I don't have naga, I just have a regular 5 button gaming mouse). something I'm not likely to hit by accident, and yet still easily accessible when I need it.

Muramasa89

At first so I moved it to "T" and haven't had it since.

cyclonus11

No since I moved my ult hotkey to 6. I do accidentally drink potions often, which sucks.

AlnilamE

Moved it to TAB a long time ago so I would no longer cause suffering to the bankers of Tamriel!

Mattock_Romulus

I was making love to this fine tavern wench the other day when I accidentally dropped ultimate...talk about embarrassing.

Have you ever dropped your ultimate by mistake when trying to craft, picking up mats, openning chests, etc?
 

I swapped the keyboard bindings for Ultimate (was R now U) and Collections (was U now R). My worst case scenario is I now sometimes bring up the Collections screen by mistake.

mewcatus

Many times, I dropped my atro onto dead horses. My group complains that I keep beating it.
