What's the dumbest thing you've ever done in-game?

Syncronaut

Tried to gank a 720 cp totaly pvp geared tank solo as nightblade. (cp 250 at that time)

1 ) st try -- run away

2 ) nd try -- he almost got me

3 ) th try -- he laughed at me doing no damage (with emotes)

4 ) th try -- he gets anoyed, pops potion to see me in stealth and jumps on me (dragonknight leap)

That's actually more reliable if the server is full and zergs are in full swing. If you use the transitus near a big battle you'll most likely end up in an endless loading screen, get booted from server and end up outside Cyrodiil when you relog, in the queue at position 100+. Had this happen to me a lot, so if I feel the server begins to be slow, and see lots battle markers at one point, I ride there.

Someone told you off for using their seige stuff?! Meanie! Sometimes have to back off as need to heal / purge & have never minded if someone nips on & contines the fight. Need people to man the machines sometimes - & a lot just get abandoned when proper fighting starts anyway!

Haha, yeah. There were quite a few laying all about and this one person was running between 2 or 3. So I was like "crap, I should probably make myself useful" and thought I was helping. My aim probably wasn't great because I had no idea what exactly I was doing so I don't really blame them for wanting the noob to just back off.

OUCH! That's gotta hurt the inventory!

I got a perfect asylum flame staff. Linked it in chat to show my victory. Log out. Wake up next morning only to realize I didn't actually pick it up.

Healed people over and over who stand in big red dumb...they really need to learn.

Ommy71

Two legendary daggers, 150 cp.

TrapLord

I Paid some guy in Auridon 15k for a “Goblin Bite”

My second day playing the game, level 10.
He was wearing a Globlin costume -_-

The dumbest thing I have done, and admittedly still do, is grind Dolmens to get characters to Level 50. Once you hit Level 50, you have such crappy gear and are very underpowered so the struggle to get out of that hole is tough.

M'aiq had a horrible dream last night. Mudcrabs, flying through the air. Horrible!

Most recent dumb moment for me was when I realized that I could craft glyphs on one character and deconstruct them on a different character and gain full inspiration to level up enchanting. I maxed out enchanting on 3 characters by deconstructing thousands of trash glyphs gathered from mobs and writs.

I've been playing since 2014 and literally just discovered this a few days ago. Took me 15 minutes to max out enchanting on the rest of my characters afterwards.

if the guy took your 15000 gold for that, then that is reportable.
hes not allowed do stuff like that, no one is allowed to cheat other players that way in eso, and you should report that guy for doing that to you.

It took me over 2 years of playing to realize there was a "buy multiple" option on siege vendors.

Previously, I clicked 100 times to buy 100 repair kits.

lol.. I've done this and so many more just like it. I've been a master crafter for a long time now and it was only recently that I learned you could scroll through craft styles with the mouse wheel instead of clicking through them all. Pretty sure this game was responsible for the death of my last mouse doing things like this.

Can't forget the no death run (attempt) in vCoA2 when at the final bridge to valkyn I was a little overzealous and ran out before the bridge finished forming and plummeted to my death in fiery lava.

..would've had it.

That is so mean, he could've sent the money back to you after having a good laugh.

But this is probably the funniest 'dumb thing' yet
Thanks for sharing. I'm off to get my goblin costume..

CaiWenji

Tried sending myself mail for more storage.

Mureel

Played since beta.

Houshiki

Streaked off the stone pathway and into the void, all in front of the other runner. Needless to say, that caused a group wipe.

Mudcrabber

In my bank there lies a fully gold set of Marksman, including the 3 jewelry pieces, the first gold set I ever completed, back when I was around 200 CP, worn only briefly by my argonian templar. The 5th piece bonus is constant regardless of quality.

I thought there was a Legendary Attire achievement for wearing all gold (like there is for Superior and Epic). But there isn't.

Necrus011

accidentally left the "bank" guild I created at launch that had 2.5 years of loot in its vaults. Couldn't get back in since most of the members were inactive.

Appleblade

I’ve dodge rolled off way too many edges.

objectmanip

Using dungeon finder repeatedly, thinking "can't be worse than last time" .

RedrunnerFred

Back in my early days before I knew the value of items I sold a dreugh wax I found in my inventory for about 5 gold on a guild trader.

krachall

Was running a 4xDPS pledge so I queued as healer and another queued as tank so we could port in.

Forgot to change it back and queued for a vet pledge the next day. I’m not running vigor and I die to trash mobs before the first boss. I say in group chat, “Do we not have a HEALER?!?”

“Yeah, YOU!” Came multiple replies. I was so embarrassed that I still cringe about it a year later.

rikimm16_ESO

Not noticing my weapon swap didn’t take and buffing myself to death while the guy I wanted to kill finishes me off.

MusicBoxPixie

Well. After reaching 160 cp I was so pumped to make myself a special crafted set. Golded it out. Basked at my achievement. To notice I didn't press over and the set was in 150cp.


Now every time i make a crafted set I stare at the 160 cp for a minute not trusting myself at all. xD

Skullstachio

Wrestled with a Grizzly bear unarmed?!?!?!?

(Strangely enough, my Orc Warden won against the bear but nurtured the bear to good health afterwards & they both became best buds ever since.)

Worst case scenario: severely mauled to death by a bear.

OrdoHermetica

When I was new to the game (level 40 something, no CP), I was wandering around Malabal Tor when I came across a bandit camp. No big deal, right? I kill a few pretty easily, then I hit one... and did nothing.

It was Commander Faldethil, a World Boss. And that was the moment I realized I had made a terrible mistake.

Arezius

- Creating an Argonian in order to be a healer (at the release of the game).
- Creating a crafter alt.

- Deleting a useless alt, then realize it was my second bank with pre-order maps and pets (when there wasn't the collection system).

- Trade AP for gold, then realize I would have earn a lot more gold if I had sell the items myself.

- Waiting for officially announced content that never got released and trusting ZOS when they say they will "never" do this or that... was also a dumb mistake, but I've learned my lessons x).

skywarnmc27

Did the first thief quest, and died to slaughter fish trying to avoid the guards.

maltinkilic

When I was still learning the traits I crafted my first ever julianos for myself. A divine chest piece. Then I started to upgrade it to gold only to realize I misclicked un upgraded a stupid world boss drop chest piece.

While farming tel var in imperial city sewers I had 10k on me for x4. I left base and killed by 3 ganker as soon as I left. Went to bank withdrawed another 5k for x4 and left the base again. I checked surrounding before jumping down and killed again. They were instealth waiting. Anyway, this continued on and on until i lost 25k telvar. Only then I thought maybe I should switch campaigns.
