Beating vMA for the very first time. Nothing quite like the feeling of achievement of finally beating the last boss after you've spent a ludicrous amount of soul gems and countless hours in there.
Well, I am a returning player and been away for quite a while. recently returned and still lvl'ng my sorc, so I can only tell about something quite satisfying that happened yesterday. Nothing extra-ordinary or to boast off, not at all, but simply very amusing to me.
I was in a public dungeon in Stormhaven, Bonesnap Ruins. For some unknown reason I was very absent-minded that evening ... I died several times, frequently looked on my map, running past the objectives of the quest so I had to return on my steps once in a while.
There was a Khajit who stayed close to me, helping me along. I lost him when he proceeded while I noticed a forgotten objective. I quickly talked to the npc, in my hurry not seeing it became an enemy ...that killed me with my back turned ...one cause of my deaths hehe.
Anyway, me and the Khajit met again, it seemed he returned to see where I was hiding lol. He patiently waited while I drew my map again and again, managing to run all wrong directions. At last we came to the spot where the small boss was I suppose. There I managed to die three times in a row, and the poor Khajit died once too. I felt really bad about that, and also a bit ashamed ....not even I had an explanation why I was performing so poorly. The best I could hope was that he was laughing bending double behind his screen at the absurdity of my sorcs behaviour.
But then, the magic happened. After I resurrected for the third time, I managed to keep us both alive only using my resto staff and my one healing spell on that (blessing of protection I believe), doing light attacks inbetween to keep mana coming. There were several adds drawn from the room so it took a while...but it felt as if we were dancing....really dancing! And it was a lot of fun!
Thank you unknown Khajit! I hope you were amused nonetheless hehe. I'll remember our dance forever!
I want what you’re smoking

Healer was new to healing and one dps just came back from a break from eso with sub par gear. Other dps was fine and supported healing and my tank build was built for self survival.
Most of the dungeon went well with only one wipe at the giant eyeball boss due to some bad positioning. We wipe a few times at lord warden though doing hard mode due to healer and return dps not knowing all mechanics but we work through it and they learn more each try.
We finally get him down to 20 ish percent and through his final shade phase when everyone but me dies. I proceed to take 10 mins slowly dpsing lord warden down as a tank with 4 of those orbs right next to the portal drop point. I had given up when i was slowly crawling towards a portal during his wipe phase, thinking i was gunna die and it was all for naught, my team had given up too. But i did not die. In the middle of his insta kill the lord warden succumbed to my searing grasp and i just stood there, stunned as the pledge updated with a successful completion.
Im not the greatest player and i know someone out there has probably soloed lord warden or something. But by malacaths sweaty testies i am proud of myself for that moment
Clearing vMA the first time.
First PvP Kill
Getting Emp the first time.
The forum Christmas giveaways. Genuine threads by people genuinely helping others.
Helping a very lost L32 Khajeet MagSorc with a bow i saw taking on Crystal events in Craglorn two mornings in a row. Decided to help, they thought I was god mode. Gave her gold and a set or two and some advice. Said lady (several builds & a year later) helped me get emp, as her presence had grown in PvP by then and helped me get support when I needed it. What goes around comes around.
