pull the boss to where their health resets.
One idiot was standing in the doorway of the tribunes folly boss room, spamming heals and then would back all the way up in the hallway when he was attacked, resetting the boss...he did this twice and probably would've kept doing it had a tank not showed up to taunt the boss.
I love when there are a couple of people fighting a world boss, and one lowbie realizes he's about to get rekt so he thinks running away is a good choice

Whaaaaa? Queen Ayrenn is by far the most logical and professional of the 3 alliance leaders, and actually has the best quest line (in regards to lore). As for "her cat", Razum-Dar nails you out of tons of situations and is always there to lend a helping hand. I can't the same about any of the other help from other alliances. Plus! He was willing to sacrifice himself. C'mon now. How you gonna hate on that Khajiit? He's cool peoples.5 -

Nearly the whole alliance quest line is dedicated to her naivety and incapability to control her own people who will always be racist supremacists. She herself looks down on other races, thinking they need her "guidance".The quests are always someone turning on Ayrenn and every interaction with her makes me feel like some bootlicker with no sense of self respect. The terrain is mostly all jungle / mountains and frustrating to traverse and except for Khajiit the lore and culture doesn't interest me one bit.
Razum-dar tries too hard to be funny or says things like "We are the Queen's Eyes. We do the tasks that must be done, even if it means getting hit on the head. Killing those who do not deserve it." which make him a despicable creature.Edited by Nyx2 on January 26, 2017 12:53AM7 -

✭✭✭✭✭What are some of the things you all see in-game that make you cringe?
For me it's:
• Crystal Fragments "hard-casting" Sorcerers.
• Nightblades who spam Surprise Attack constantly.
• Magicka-based variants of classes outside of Templar who utilize DW.
• People who constantly talk about "meta builds" and utilize them, but have absolutely no clue behind the build'a mechanics.
how do you know they are crystal frag hard casting? you do realize crystal frags is a morph right? great for single target, but in some sorcs build more for crystal blast to do more aoe d.
@AzuraKin ...Crystal Blast? What? I'll be honest with you. And sincere as well. I've been playing ESO since early beta. I've seen tons upon tons of obscure builds, and strange play-styles. But not once. Have I EVER seen anyone use the other morph. It has always been C-Frags. Always. Whether it was used by high levels, or lowbies starting off. It was ALWAYS C-Frags. If you've seen someone else use the other morph, or if you've done so yourself — then kudos to you. For I have never seen or heard of anyone doing so.
In three years, I've seen blast once, from a rando in a Wrothgar delve.1 -
Jim_Berry✭✭✭I cringe everytime I hear the term "meta". Not only because using the word "meta" when talking about 'meta builds' is stupid - because the word doesn't even remotely have anything to do with the way it's used. But also because it proves how people are incapable and need to exploit overpowered mechanics/compositions/etc to perform well - not just in ESO, but in many games.
Nope, not me. I'm building a Thief/Assassin that focus on looting and single-target damage.0 -

Lol, I decided to rank up that morph once. I like how it looks compared to Crystal Fragments. But that's probably just because we rarely see it so it's still got that "new and exciting" feel. They should balance out those 2 Morphs, similarly to what they done with Wrecking Blow.1 -

I really don't care about that, personally. You can give your character whatever backstory you like. That's what the RP in RPG is all about after all. It's when they go into the long, drawn out and overly dramatic exposition of their character's entire life story that I just kinda go "I'm out."
Seriously, there is such a thing as overdoing it. I stumbled onto some vampire RPers discussing how they were turned one day down in an outlaw refuge, telling stories (badly I might add) that would rival the tales of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake.
@Glurin, To be fair, the thread is, "things that make you cringe." I understand the impulse to create a unique character. I don't have a problem with that. It's when that desire overrides the setting's lore in fundamental ways, or requires your character to be someone that cannot actually exist under the rules provided by the game, that I draw the line, and cringe.
There are exceptions. I've seen some legitimately good Maomer approximations. But, at the same time, I've also seen RPers that rolled up a woodelf and claimed to be an Ohmes breed Khajiit. Which... ugh, no. Also an RPer claiming to be a werebear (no lycanthropy buff present).
Those make me cringe.0 -
bantad87✭✭✭Things that make me cringe:
- Queue'ing up as a tank in a "II" or "Veteran" dungeon, but you're using a Destruction Staff, not even using Inner Fire.
You can legitimately tank most content on a magsorc using a destruction staff (especially soon, with ice staves). So long as you have inner fire, lol. Not like it's difficult with shield stacking, heavy armor, and lots of sustain. Don't think I'd try to tank some of the harder vet dungeons doing it, but there's really no issue with non-standard tanks in normals or easier vets.0 -

I used to see alot of cringy RP in other MMOs like LOTRO and City of Heroes. Since I'm on console, I don't see them anymore. A shame. I'd love to see someone RP Molag Bal's son or Lyris's sister.

Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭ESO lingo shortcuts...such as procs...bites...bobs....cos I aint got a clue what your talking about.
proc = programmed random occurence
It's a general MMO slang term and exists since there have been MMOs.
Bob = a name used to personify an imaginary person, usually made up on the spur of the moment
A term not just used in MMOs, but elsewhere too.
bite = Vampire/Werwolf bite.
This is pretty ESO related only, but I think it's pretty self explaining.
Although english isn't my native language, I have encountered no issues at all to get a grasp for the meaning of those terms. As a last choice there is still the urban dictionary. We live in the era of the internet, google is your friend.

Don't get me wrong i still push out a decent dps in vet dungeons. 20-40k depending on situation, and how much you have to avoid red circles and stuff. Just the word rotation make me cringe...1

No, no. It's short for "proclamation". As in "I proclaim that you shall now take 10,000 poison damage." "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."2 -
