Do you remember your noob moments? Let's hear it!

Turelus · May 2017

Me and a friend started together, it took us about a month before we realised you could use Wayshrines by running up and pushing E.

We would always have one of us port to it and pay the cost, then the other port to them to save gold, alternating so we didn't pay the mark up fee.

Not really sure if this counts but when i started playing i gave away 5 or so Kutas + about 10 purple ones (having a noob moment right now because i forget the name) because i had no idea what they were worth.

However my most noobiest moment ever was when i started playing my very first MMO ever (WOW)... I had to take a break for dinner and i spent about 15 minutes or so trying to figure out how to pause the game!

Lolll, on my first ever character i would wear only dropped gear. Once i hit vet level i started using PvP gear but the gear was a mix of vet lev 1, 3,6, etc. I don't think i ever had more than one set bonus active at anytime and had often wondered why i was so weak in pvp. But then i actively started leveling up crafting and searching the internet to help improve my characters

So many.... but quite recently I had started venturing into Cyrodil.... I joined a group (that's the advice right)... and then I tried to stay alive.

Soon there came a point where it seemed the whole group was working around me....

I glanced at the side of the screen and the text chat says... 'please lead' and then 'give me the crown'.... and I realised with TERROR I had the bloomin crown!!!

It must have been passed to me when someone left the group

I logged out! CRINGE!

FloppyTouch · May 2017

Spent my first 6 months of the game doing the storyline silver and gold quest thinking it was the fastest way to lvl.

When they released craglorn I lvled a bunch of characters to Vet rank real fast.

Wish I new about grind spots before nothing was worst then spending 10-15 mins to do a quest and watch ur exp bar barely move.

Thinking that spamming Wrecking blow was a proper damage dealer rotation.

Not knowing that stamina / magicka actually increased your damage (especially since your max stats were scaling the non-CP campaign in 1.6), making my builds a very special kind of rainbow. The 2H sword / Resto backbar kind of rainbow.

I got emperorship before knowing that I could use food and drinks *derp*

Pressing "X" on that warrior HM fight the first time. "That wasn't me!"

ScytheNL · May 2017

I'm living it! (Lvl 46 here

)

Also ran across half the Cyrodill map before I figured out the Transitus was for fast travel inside Cyrodiil

I used the magicka morph for the NB execute becaise I liked its more.

I played stamblade

I bought the adventure pack so I'd be to play as a khajiit when I played the EP/DC zones. (a few weeks later I found out about Cadwell silver and gold, and I have only used perk once, but I deleted that character)

I rerolled all my stam morphs on my stam NB to the magicka morphs thinking that if I leveled those morphs it would improve the stamina ones too. (that lead to a few days of frustration before I decided to give up on leveling those skills since I was super weak with all magicka skills but I still had the same AP setup I used for my stamina build)

Other than that I did not make many noob mistakes since I watched a few guides and lets play videos before buying the game (at least not any funny ones).

pattyLtd · May 2017

oh i have so many but what most likely would have given me a lot of lol's from other people must be when I asked following questions to my friends that i was attempting DSA with (it's along time ago but i was VR16 already lol).

What do you mean with "aggro" and i finally felt comfortable enough to ask what taunt meant and weave light attacks, what?
Those people were awesome and teached me alot.

* feels embarassed now

Feanor · May 2017

I remember running around at launch playing my Altmer magSorc main with a destro and a 2H Redguard Greatsword because it looked so cool. I had no idea whatsoever about DPS or buffs or AoE or anything. I just soaked in that awesome atmosphere right after launch. Fun times.

My retired main started like that (hybrid redguard sorc). It was fun, and I could avoid dying, but fights were slow. I eventually swapped the resto for a bow and went stam/health split.

neal_brasier · May 2017

I didn't know that you could level up a skill just having on your bar and thought you had to use it ended up slotting mages light into my rotation and casting constantly through mob battles

Golnebo · May 2017

I've been playing for almost a year now and naturally made a lot of noob mistakes. But the one that stucks with me is when I got my first master blacksmithing writ. It popped up from the crate and I was asked to accept it. So did that offcourse. When I read the requirements to complete I saw I couldn't finish it because I had learned nothing more than 4 or 5 traits on everything.
So in my wisdom I abandoned the quest.

The writ was worth 105 vouchers..

elantaura · May 2017

Day 1 hour 1 didn't know how to get my horse up ( imperial edition) and thinking someone stole my horse from stable.
Not understanding cyrodill stealth then learning it and stealthing half way across the map. To scout a farm and I got killed by guards before I did report
Not understanding a game at all and wearing heavy and being a hybrid lol
Not knowing what a dps, healer or tank was at all ( my first MMO) actually it a healer who amazed me and set me strait lol.

RouDeR · May 2017

My first char was mag sorc Redguard using double sword and shield . I was tanky and was using StormKnight set it was awesome , sadly i didnt have place for Tount on my skill bars and that was a disaster in dungeons xD.

Fodore · May 2017

Well after playing the game on and off for 2 years I only just realised guild stores have multiple pages when you search something up... oh well now I know that the guild stores don't just sell blue motifs when I'm looking for motifs

Olen_Mikko · May 2017

OMG So much epicness in these posts! So golden stuff!

Beesting · May 2017

Healing on my magica dk in first person in may 2014 and complaining on the forums how the bright glow of the resto staff made it impossible to see what was going on on 1/3 of the screen

If only i had played the beta...

Andarne · May 2017

Back at release, I found a few Kuta on Bleakrock.

Few hours later, I had a full inventory. Destroyed the Kuta because I had no idea what they were for, and I needed the room for a Green item.

You made me laugh so hard, yea mmo pause would mean everyone freeze for that period, which doesn't really make sense.

MUDCRABS! They were once way too hard to kill(played since beta).

And Skeevers, sneaky little buggers.........

Skeevers + snared dismount bug = slow, humiliating death...

I recall dying to slaughterfish 10 feet from shore in an odd place in the starter zone (little more than a glorified puddle, tbh) while my DK friend helplessly watched.

fetameise · May 2017

Back in 2014, playing my first char - NB in random gear with bow. My videocard was having some fancy problem with onboard memory at that time and as a result I would freeze and crash like every 10-20 minutes. I went into the Arx with one guy (S&B DK as I recall) who was eager to go through it and invited me while I was skulking around. Needless to say my chat bar has been closed all the time and I also crashed every few minutes, accurately on each boss fight. Each reboot took about 2 minutes so every time I thought – ok I’m kicked now for sure, who can tolerate such crap. But every time I booted the game back the guy was far ahead waiting for me to start another boss fight. At the end he practically soloed the whole dungeon and while I was booting my PC up 10th time he managed the last boss and I got there right in time to get the achievement. That guy was a saint no less. I experienced the stupidest moment of my gamelife then.

THEDKEXPERIENCE · May 2017

I once led an entire PVP raid off a cliff and into slaughter fish.

DjMuscleboy02 · May 2017

My first character was a magplar with a bow front bar and a resto back bar. I actually had a decent rotation but it was so ass backwards. It was basically the current meta magplar rotation but endless hail instead of blockade and poison injection was in there too..

One of my favorite people I've played with didn't know he had an ultimate until level 45. We kept telling him to use one and he never said anything, then one day he's like "You guys keep saying ultimate what is that" and went on to explain he just thought he had an empty skill slot and was was bugged.

Still doing it ... so yeah, I guess I stay forever noob.

Learning my keys:

If you see some CP160 using an ultimate on a poor treasure chest, ressource node, crafting station, door or message board... well, thats probably me again pressing "R" when actually wanting to press "E". .... Luckily I got the "prevent killing innocents"-active or many questgivers would be slain by now ...

I use my ultimate when decorating my house...

Heavy armor as DPS

Wrubius_Coronaria · May 2017

When I started to tank in dungeons in 2014 with my hybrid dragonknight khajiit, I had no sets equiped (crafted or looted), just randoms pieces armors upgraded in gold and purple.

And I remember another time I had shield and sword + heavy for dd role as magicka dk.

The first time I had a duel in cyrodiil with my nightblade, I spammed steel tornado because I had no idea how to play.
