Funny fails of the week!

Sheezabeast

With the event and grouping, there's bound to be some stories to share I'll share mine first.

Yesterday I was doing random dungeons on my alts, for boxes, and I was on my mag warden, decked out for DPS. We get Selene's Web (on normal). I notice no one is healing. We struggle through 2 bosses, and someone comments "great healing" (being sarcastic). I failed to notice I had both heals and dps checked! I apologized, I genuinely didn't see. I change my gear and equip heals, and end up healing the rest of the dungeon on the fly! One guy said 'its ok, that guy is just a ***'. Boy did I pull that one out of the pan! Luckily I was able to change enough abilities. I know it was on normal but Selenes is still a bugger.

Went into BC2 as a tank with friend as dps, both the healer and the other dps were using ice staffs. So every three seconds I was losing taunt on the boss, eventually it got so annoying I had to say something. Sadly no one listened and I let the bosses kill them because screw it. If you taunt it you tank it.

The dungeon finder...

Aaaaaaaaaand I just now learned you can have two things checked, which might explain why I somehow ended up in a dungeon earlier as dps when I thought sure I'd put in for healer. Well THAT explains it! D'oh.

having only done a couple of trials ever recently got up the courage and accepted an invite on guild chat for normal hel ra (at least I think it was that one) and having no idea what to do but stay out of the red, all going fine but really stressful I was jumping and rolling to avoid "everything" I fell of the edge I don't think anyone noticed

Accidentally q as tank on my magsorc (using finder yday with guildies and I took tank role just so we could go 4 dps) - I finally go ‘is anyone actually tanking?’ 3x ‘YOU ARE!!1’ slots innerfire and all was ok. Lol - didn’t really need one but boss was chasing me all around and I was like - weird why?

In one of the wgt The tank was all ‘who’s tanking?’ We 3 - ‘you are !ONE!!!’ They are all oh, lol - change to s and b and taunt and cleared np. That was the one I was also on fake healer xD and said I am not too healer you cannot just stand in red rn (he’s just soul assaulting all the time) xD the other dps is all LOL!

Mostly people are just being chill and having fun with it- in my experience!

One of these. The guy asks in guild for three other group members for random normal. He gets 4 DPS, he decides to set to tank, and I set to healer (on a Stam Warden, so I can actually pull healer duty for normals.)

Roll the dice, and... COA2. Okay, well, it's been awhile. Hit the first boss, we wipe. He leaves, and the three of us are left standing around while the group finder fishes up a new tank. That takes about a minute. We run the dungeon, I want to say without any additional deaths at all.

We clear COA2 in about 20-25 minutes. Really smooth, honestly. And then I go looking for the random rewards... nothing.

This guy advertised for the pledge in guild chat, pretending it was for the event. Pretended to be a tank. Got curb stomped in the dungeon he knew he was going into.

I mean, if that had been a miserable slog, I'd probably be pretty irked. As is, it was kinda fun, but the first boss attempt coming apart at the seems basically on contact was pretty hilarious.

My friend and I wanna just load up ice staves and just tank with those and Leroy the hell out of the place! We can both offheal and dps just fine so should not be problem - but will be funny and not killing everyone - but we don’t want to make anyone mad xD

But bad healers angry me , disappoint me, and hover over vote to kick.

Cp 200 healer calls me noob and some popular male insults after saying letting tank die is apporiate tatics. I am pretty sure letting people die isn't what a healer should do?

that sounds frustrating!!! ugh!

Starting the MQ as an alt and insta-dying upon leaving Coldharbour via levitation (bug).

Not as fun as the time I dropped from levitation at the same spot and got smashed against the ground though.

That and the usual spamming of boundless storm for a full minute before realising I have the wrong bar selected.

Dungeons have been fine, ofc I have to spam "F" for 15 mins before getting in but...

ESO in general...the whole thing...massive fail...but still funny, so I laugh

Got an Undaunted quest for Selene's Web.

I was playing a Nord stamblade and I currently run at around CP400. It was the first character I'd ever created and I had switched him from two-handed to bow / dual wield in order to "save" him from obscurity, and had my crafter craft him some Hunding's Rage and Ashen Grip goodies. I play casual PvE, world bosses, delves and quests and needless to say, before this week I had never been inside a dungeon. In short, I am not a very good player.

So I duly selected Selene's Web on the dungeon finder and queued up as a DPS.

Started the dungeon and the healer almost immediately started complaining that he was doing 70% of the DPS. Got through a couple of the minor bosses with no real issues. I had done a couple of dungeons earlier in the evening and this one was significantly harder. Then my epic fail dawned on me.

I had queued for the VETERAN version.

Nevertheless, the three of us were having a blast politely responding to the whining of the "elite" healer. Letting him know that there was a Dungeon event on and that his elite world would be rocked by a bunch of newbies. He repeatedly tried to kick other members of the group, and we all voted to stay.

We did wipe out on Selene. He was right about that. When everyone resurrected we all voted to kick the whining healer and succeeded. Then we disbanded the group and left the dungeon.

Leroy Jenkins achievement run
How much can you pull from an dungeon or an trial

My favorite predates the event by an bit but was pretty surreal.
This was back then finder kicked you from dungeon but you could enter it manual afterward for the random bonus.
We queued for random normal got darkshade 1, tank wanted to visit bank before entering I healed and one dd thought we could clear first trash while I was putting more damage on bar, he had run down, managed to die and the mobs killed me then killed the other dd then he arrived, then the first dd who respawned in their middle.
Tank was very salty

"Tank" with 15k health and a bow saying "who queues with a tank in a normal anyway?" and then dying in every mob fight.

MehrunesFlagon

In vCoA had level 65 with us.Was doing 80-90% of the group dps. On the last boss he dies.He yells help.I'm thinking how much dps I will lose while I res him.As he was not contributing much to begin with.

Mine is more related to the new patch but crit rush and falling through the ground without getting a load screen looks pretty funny.

maybe not in ESO, but just for fun - at least 2 games (LOTRO and good 'ol city of heroes) had res skills that buffed the person you ressed and skills that would hugely buff your whole group when you ressed someone - so, in *those* games, strategically making someone die so that you could buff your whole team actually WAS a tactic

I don't know of that working in ESO, but never say never...

Zos will get it right....one day.....I hate this glitch, especially in PVP!

Two group members dieing on the first add pull of Banished Cells I........on normal.

Did my first scroll run ever yesterday, I’d never attempt to take one before because I didn’t want the stress and I have accompanied many before
Started at rayles we were in the keep just took the flags and walked over towards the scroll and 5 or6 of our group were just standing there staring at it for about a minute so frustrated I just went up and took it and ran for my life thinking oh sht head south! Head south! Three teammates came with out of 24 totally thinking that’s not enough I’m so going to die 100m from this keep how embarrassing, shares quest chugging stam pots passing 3 enemy keeps and thank god one of the three accomplices put rapids on me (which I didn’t even think of at the time) shared the quest again in case and sailed through without a peep on the way got to the temple after 20 stam pots (I’m mag) share quest again just before put in the scroll, head to the bounty board and then realised that I had the wrong scroll quest

Queue for normal dungeon (random) as DPS during the event to get the daily mystery box and XP bonus.

The queue takes about 25-30 minutes, including a couple of "start-stops" (three players accept, last one does not, back to the queue we go). Finally, a group is formed, and remember, this is a normal dungeon.

Roll Mazzatun. I start moving forward, with about as much glee as a jolly swagman who'd just espied a jumbuck, thinking I might get a chance at some in-demand craft motifs when...

...healer quits the group...

...two seconds later tank quits the group...

...just as I start typing into group chat "well I guess we'll wait for replacements", the other DPS, who is now the group lead, looks around, types "sorry, this dungeon is too hard", quits the group...

...I am now one stunned individual standing at the entrance all by my lonesome. I actually do not remember whether the group had disbanded or not, just that in the heat of the moment I decide to just quit the instance and queue up again...

...and on exit I get the "you've quit too recently, please wait at least 10 minutes before queuing up again" message in the "Activities" tab...

...to which my reaction was, to quote an old MUD social command return: "You swear loudly and for a long time."

P.S. Three points if you know what a MUD is without looking it up...also, that makes you old.

I just finished my first dungeon for one last mysterious box on my new Khajiit, lvl 15 with cp600 behind her, and got Spindleclutch I. I've done it solo with my main, so I felt good about it. Others were 660, 47ish and another 15. 47ish is healing and right after the first boss, tried to kick the other 15 out cuz he wouldn't 'stand still and tank' or something. Vote was no, healer left after calling us morons, and we brought another in. I don't remember what level they were, but we cleared it about 10-15 minutes later. Short, fun run. If only 47ish had been a bit more patient.

P.S. Got the treasure hunter costume. I wasn't sure if I'd like it much, but it's not bad. I hope it dyes well...

We had an tank who managed to die all the time, none other died even then tank was dead, normal blessed crucible.
Only 17K health but he had sword and board that was the weirdest of all, decent enough healer.

Every time someone one TS said "It's working well tonight" to then have us sit 30mins waiting for the next dungeon.

Was in PVP last night and it was so laggy. When I transformed into a werewolf my character got stuck and carried on running around half transformed. but I could use my WW skills. I tried turning back after the fight had calmed down but my character was still stuck. Was rather amusing, had to run into a zerg for them to kill me so I could res and reset my char. hahaha

Got vet Spindle II for my random and we had a cp 30 tank who'd apparently meant to queue for normal. He died on the first trash pull due to standing in red(even though he was getting Springs-spammed) and was like
"..."
"heal please"
"wait...is this vet?"
"sh**"
XD

Others seemed unfamiliar with the dungeon as well and dps was rather low, but fortunately they were willing to listen and try so we made it eventually(after about 5 wipes on Praxin) Was fun.

Hecker777

Tanked normal falkreath on my PvP mag DK who I have kinda parked for the moment in favor of my stam warden. What I didn't realize is that I had cannibalized his gear for another toon at some point and forgot so I ended up tanking in 2 valkyn skoria, no body armor, no newlery and a BSW s/b and maelstrom inferno staff. I'm sure my healer just LOVED me XD
