Share your funniest/best forum stories!

Fishoscandi · July 2017

Just like the title says: share your best/funniest stroy or memory you have here on the forums! To start off, I'll share mine.

There was a thread called "Set that increases gold" or something like that. I read the thread and the comments and then I commented myself. My comment was:

Fishoscandi wrote: »

Basically every monster shoulder will increase your gold gain so I would start there It will also increase your XP gained

If you didn't realize, my comment refers to the infamous prosperous and training monster shoulder drops. I thought it was a pretty harmless comment. However, the next day I recieve an email from ZOS. I couldn't find the actual email, but there is a quote from it that I remember the most: "The drops from Undaunted chests are purely random." That email actually made me believe that ZOS actually monitors the forums. It made me happy to think someone stopped whatever they were doing to send me an email defending the RNG of the undaunted chests. It also made me laugh.

What's your best/funniest forum story? Feel free to share!

I just enjoy every thread with one witty remark. Like whenever someone is beating a dead horse, and 5 people post "beating the dead horse" gifs.

Good times.

Questing in Craglorn and walked passed a NPC, he looked at me stating: You look like I need a drink.
One of the material hirelings letter: Margog the Hammer says:
An unfortunate accident befell Splendid-Paws' associates today. They demanded their share of gold from my business. A business they had nothing to do with. That's when the hammer hanging over my work table slipped from its hook and bashed both of the poor fellows in the head. Repeatedly. I hope the Khajiit has a good healer on his payroll.

That is one thing I miss about hirelings, ever since I reallocated my skill points elsewhere. The hirelings rarely brought me anything that I considered to be worth the skill point, but they did always send amusing letters.

I remember one of the dev's posted the counter to heavy is to not attack them for 6s so you don't proc constitution and let wraith expire.

I had a good laugh.

But...,but that's what they've been saying since I bought ESO, at PS4 launch... OOOO now I see the funny, its like ZOS have no problem "necroing" their own comments and ending them with the classic: NO ETA...

That is in my mind still the best forums thread we've ever seen on here, I was almost crying with laughter the first time I read it.

Sorry about going off topic with previous post, to rectify I'll tell a story...

Doing normal SO one night with guild, taking a lot of 1st timers to help them learn mechanics, on the long bridge made of Swiss cheese ( well full of holes like Swiss cheese). The one fellow fell down twice, boy did we laugh, I laughed out loud until the next area by the stairs, I was diddling along and the next moment I went full Alice and down the hole I go, needless to say that the whole group found it way more amusing that a Ophidian Overlord make such suicidal mistakes, had to wait 8min for battle to end. (current number of times I morphed into Alice: 12 times)

Khajiit does not recall reading anything here ever before.

Who are you people yes and why are all of you in the house of Khajiit?

Paws off the good quality booze. The cheap stuff is over there by the guest bathroom.

Wait .. that smell .. is one of you an elf? ...

Yours with paws

Agreed... still so much left unanswered.... so many questions, yet so few orangutan's!

Hmm, I think the best thread on these forums (that I personally remember at least) was a thread by made PC users right around when ESO was launching on consoles. The thread was just full of gifs and random conversations and it stayed active for a couple years before being closed I think.

*edit* here's the thread

Remember that bug that allowed us to go all "Blade" on vampires with silver bolts? Remember all the vamps that cried because they couldn't do their vampire batswarm zergballs anymore?
