    Was browsing the traders for a set of divines armor when i spotted a "cheap" set of hundings for sale and snapped it up quickly. Turned out the "cheap" set i just bought turned out to be bloody expensive since it was all CP 100 and 50 and i had forgotten to put a CPlvl in the search filter like i always do.

    My Roadrunner moments:

    Wrothgar death - Doing Unfinished Dolmen (3 Rune requirements) and going to jump off the waterfall with speed still running waaay overshooting the waterfall bottom pond. Splat!

    While in AD PVP Raid going NW to Glade...million cliffs and rock faces along the way...
    So it was Dumb to trust that a tiny rock I'm riding over wont launch you sideways 15 feet on your horse to your death by falling 50 feet. Typically happens when you manually jump at the same time trying to look cool. :p

    Needless to say the raid laughed their behinds off, saying I "Just shot sideways" off the rock wall.

    A couple of weeks ago I paid 100k for a sharpened Ebon Dagger, I misread it and thought it was an Elegence dagger. I relisted for 40k still no sale.

    1. Argued with someone that I didn't need sword and board or taunts as a two handed tank.
    2. Not putting the max amount of upgrade materials and breaking pc's because I wasn't paying attention.
    3. Sold my footman's sabatons to a vendor three times before I remembered to lock them.
    4. Responded to obvious trolls in zone chat.
    5. Stealthed into Blackheart Haven solo to get that one book I just had to have.
    6. Taunted Manti away from main tank in Sanctum pre-nerf, caused a raid wipe.
    7. Hopped off my horse the fast way by blocking but momentum carried me into a guard, who thought I was accosting him and he ended up killing me.
    8. Shooting fireballs at my GF's feet as she was walking by a guard. See #7.
    9. Shooting the blue orbs of damage in town. See #7.
    10. Got caught looting the bank in Vulhkel Guard. See #7.

    The list goes on and on!

    I forgot about my grand dumbassitry.

    When I first played ESO, I created a bosmer magic sorc and got her to vet 6. Friends and guildies told me bosmer is not an ideal pick for a msorc and I should choose altmer instead.

    So I deleted my bosmer but rerolled a wood elf yet again and leveled her to v16. Why? I thought I just made her wrong and bosmer can indeed be good Msorcs! How dare these people question my logic. Yeah, I was a noob and stubborn. I mostly wanted to be shorter than my SO who made an imperial nb. The shortest altmer was still taller than him and irl it's the other way around.

    Later after trying and failing to be on par with my altmer brethren I gave up and grew a brain. I rerolled yet again and finally made my altmer msorc. I leveled her to lvl 25 and then deleted her only to make her again because of her eyebrows.

    Then after getting my newer altmer to level 10 I heard her make that one sound when characters take fall damage while mounted. I wanted to reroll again because she sounded like an old grandma. But.. Her laugh saved her because it was too funny to use. It's so delightfully arrogant sounding and is great to use in pvp. :wink: She is my one and only character and I love everything about her now. <3

    I also got all the mage guild books on all those characters. Big waste of time!

    My first character was a Khajiit Magicka Sorcerer, possibly the worst choice you can make and people did let me know of that. But you know, if you can make a character the wrong way and still progress through the game, then what's so wrong about it?

    The options and choice of creation is there. But I play mostly pvp and if I had stayed wood elf I would have been at a great disadvantage. But luckily I am happy that I changed to altmer. They had grown to be my favorite race and closely resemble the elves of a book I just recently finished! :smile:

    On my first run of Arx Corinium at the bit with the plank going across the hole the guy who was leading us newbies through ran and jumped trying to get onto the wooden beam but missed and fell, me and the other guys were all in a line and followed him thinking it was part of the map, must have looked like lemmings but we had a good laugh about it.

    Start playing the game again expecting the level of bugs to be lower and the quality of coding to be better.

    It's funny that a lot of people have some rather dumb things they've done in game that are actually really funny looking back at them. And then there are the few that are just critical of the game because of how salty they are. To again quote Rich Lambert; you know you don't have to be here, right? This is supposed to be a fun topic. :smiley:

    Looong time ago, when Ive hit vr1 on my first toon (magsorc) I was afraid that VR zones are PvP zones where I will fight with other alliances so I was crawling in stealth there for about 30 minutes until I realised that something is wrong. So finaly Ive found that only PvP zone is Cyrodiil, so Ive started to search how to enter there, but ofc I was to proud to search it on the web... Well, I can tell you that there is no gate or road to Cyrodiil... And I mean all of the zones...

    I saw 2 dudes having a Duel.. I acted as if i was a spectator minding my own business... then I just did what everyone else would do and beat the *** out of them like there was no tomorrow.. did a few teabags and some emotes .. sit on them, laid down, threw water from a bucket, danced on their dead body (probably went abit too far) then I whispered each one saying how weak they are and ran as if I was getting chased by a horde of lions.. I look back and it was a 30 man AD squad ... so I ran shitting myself... story of my life.. long story short I was too slow so I sneaked behind a rock thinking I wasn't going to be found.. and then when I thought I was the luckiest ESO player in the world... I find 10 EP behind me ready to slay my ass... so I killed them :/
    I'll own you fool, COME AT ME YOU SON OF A GUN, hi names Life... LIKE FOR LIFE kthnxbye
