The Most Amazing Random Moment

ArchMikem · May 2016

This was the best moment I've ever experienced in playing Elder Scrolls Online.

I just finished the Pact Questline in my third Character and embarked on the beginning of the Coldharbor line, getting ready for the invasion. I just finished talking to Emeric and Ayrenn about meeting on Stirk and just returned to the Mages Guildhall in Mournhold. I'm finishing up the dialogue with Vanus when all manner of things happen all at once after hitting Complete Quest.

At the same time my character levels up, and then is thrown backward. Suddenly, right next to Vanus teleports in a second Vanus, yelling at me about running off, and he was just about to open the portal. For a brief few seconds I'm staring at two Vanus Galerions before the second one vanishes and then the first opens the portal. For those few seconds I seriously believed I had found some secret time paradox branch of the Questline.

I wish I was quick enough to have recorded that.

Coldharbour is full of doppelgängers

One arrogant Vanus is enough to deal with!

But seriously... Imagine if taking Skooma in ESO created these sorts of... erm... situations.

Wow. that sounds like a fun one.

I was looking to make a 'beside himself' joke but I couldn't come up with one...

And to follow up, here's another amazing moment, but for the complete opposite meaning.

Our group of three is getting the daily quests done over in Cropsford in a Campaign heavily dominated by the Pact so the whole map was ours. We ended up getting split around the town and Group leader calls out a Dominion player jumping him. The other in our group joins in and I'm listening in on them grunting and complaining while I finish this little quest. Finally I decide to come over and lend a hand by chucking my Solar Flares as support.

It turns out the guy that jumped us was a Lvl20 Dragonknight Tank, and when I finally got to them he absolutely wrecked our group. A Vet 8, Vet 1, and a Lvl49. Another passing Pact player revived us and we continued in town, hoping to catch him. Sure enough he pops back up, taking out two of us but our Vet 8 was a Werewolf and he narrowly won the fight.

With a Lvl20.

I've seen Vet16s go down faster from my guildmates.

Well when you record something and something happens at the right time.

Like I had the a fish skinning event for Perfect Roe, and we made an offering to Malacath for Perfect Roe...

Here that moment recorded

@Xelrick That was amazing timing. Beautiful.
