I'm curious to know what your favourite player interaction has been throughout the game. Or, hell, non-player interaction, go nuts.

Screenshots encouraged, but optional ;D

(Also, the character I was playing at the time looks like this:

I'm so proud of this, not even gonna lie.

Oh yah I did have to heavily "redact" parts of it, I guess that's obvious.

One of the more recent ones for me was when TG came out and I got yelled at for stealing someones trove after they had been camping it constantly.

I wish that I had screenshotted or recorded it, but mine was running into an enemy alliance player near Cropsford when we were both turning in finished quests. We were both sorcs with pets. We both unsummoned our pets, turned in our quests, then noticed we were riding the same way for the quest to kill undead near Cropsford. We kept pets off and finished it together. Went back, turned in our quests, emoted waving goodbye, and went on our separate ways.

I had a similar experience in Bruma with an enemy. I was alone and they had a group of 3 and we made a PvE truce. My faith in AD had been restored that day.

A few weeks ago in PvP I got an email marked "Rewards for the Worthy"- it contained 25 grand soul gems. 2 fire trebs, 2 stone trebs and some kind of catapult.

I thought, "dang! ZOS is changing things up!"- then I realized it wasn't an official mail, but was from another (unknown) player.

Totally fooled me for a moment, and a really, really nice gesture!

Just yesterday I was in Cheydinhal turning in a quest. I hear a horse behind me and see an enemy Dragonknight (lvl 29) stop short of me and stare. I am a v16 magicka sorc and am not so big a jerk that I am goin to gank some poor guy just trying to quest, so I wave at him. He stares at me some more and then decides it would be a good idea to try to kill me.

I drop him to 5% and then stop attacking, crossing my swords and jump up and down. He still doesn't understand I don't really want to kill him and keeps atracking, so he eats a Dawnbreaker instead.

You get an awesome for this. Gotta love it when it happens though - you try to be nice and kind(the very qualities PvPers supposedly lack according to some people on these forums) and leave baby PvE-ers alone just to have them try to kill you. Only thing more satisfying than killing these is to kill a ganker

My favourite interaction was probably cross faction PvE in IC. I needed a few of the district bosses for the achievements and my friend joined me on his DC(I was on my EP) character. Was great fun trying to kill stuff without killing each other and getting AP every time we died basically

At a certain clannfear matriarch boss we got ganked by a certain AD, I asked her/him to stop, telling her me and my friend were just trying to get the boss done, and she joined us.

Cross faction victory ensued

I generally greatly enjoy cross faction interactions that do NOT come down to blindly trying to kill each other. I enjoy having that option there and us both not choosing not to use it at that given moment. Some of the moments that make it worth it being in Cyro for me are when you run into a person with friend(s) and end up having a fun fight and his friend(s) just step aside and don't interfere, letting the fight play on. Kind of a spot on duel where sides have enough respect not to interfere. Those people get a sincere bow of respect from me.

One time, I was trying to solo a public dungeon on a squishy character, and some random people I didn't know invited me to group up with them. I ended up joining a guild with them after that. This may seem like no big deal to some people, but for me it is huge. I have really hard time interacting with people I do not know. It was weird to feel oddly comfortable with strangers. That doesn't often happen with me.

Back when the cake was still giving exp, me and two friends were spawning it again and again trying to get it higher than the others(we were standing on a brazier) and one of them got annoyed and asked why his guy was clapping when his cake was the lowest spawned. My other friend started laughing so hard he farted.

jkemmery · April 2016

My favorite interaction was when I met the leader of a DC PvP guild through a mutual in-game friend, he invited me to join and a whole new aspect of the game was opened up to me.

If you've ever tried to PvP but not in a guild with TeamSpeak (or similar), you are missing out on the experience. The veteran PvPer's know the ropes and if you are willing to learn they will generally be helpful to you.

There is a huge difference between a group in a dungeon PVEing a Boss and it's spawn mobs, and going head to head, group v group against other actual human players.

Maybe he thought your wave was an invitation to duel and you jumping up and down with your swords crossed was you charging up your super-sorc powers.

Some newer players don't realie that the little shield icon thingy in front of your level means your a veteran. Maybe he thought you were lvl 16

I still think my favorite is the one who asked me to group when I was grinding zombies at the Vile Lab. Now, this was on my 4th main so I had lots of experience with the pattern. I was doing this solo for about 2 hours and I had already ground out 4 levels and leveled up a bunch of skills. So, we group up and I do my usual pattern which is the same as everyone else does up there, 3 pulls and AoE them down. He then proceeds to tell me I don't know how to grind and I am to bring him all the mobs while he stands there and waits for me to do so. I was like what? So he kicks me from the group. I then go along with what I was doing before. He then starts cussing me out in chat and telling me I am messing with his pulls. I had so much fun and gained another level before I went on my way.

On the other end of the spectrum I was running around with one of my low end mules gathering some low level treasure maps and I saw someone get killed by a World Boss in Zone 1. So, I offered some help and gave him some gear I had looted that was on their level. I took down the boss with him. I then showed him how to do rotations and weave in light and heavy attacks. It was an eye opener for this player. He was so grateful for the help as he had been struggling with the game.

I much prefer the second kind of interaction.

This reminds me of grinding low level mats with my Vet sorc to craft for my lowbies and seeing people with low health bars struggling against a mob or world boss. I'd jump in, try to draw agro and help them finish or resurrect them if they died. I have yet to have anyone complain about that. I just don't go around zapping everything in the area, robbing them of kills, only jump in for the minimum needed. I've had people help me like that, so I felt the need to pay it forward.

THEDKEXPERIENCE · April 2016

My "favorite" interactions are when people tell me I can't do something because I'm a Vampire. Generally it's followed by them dying and me still being alive.
