    Yesterday in cyrodiil I died to a sorc that kept only using overload when fighting others. Not that much of a problem as they only did about 9k dmg per hit and i had about 28k life.
    Well apparently I didnt have full life and got hit by 2 of the overloads with the first one proccing concussed on me and the second one bringing me under 15% health and a second later without being hit by anything else i just vanished because of that damn sorc execute passive. (6% chance to deal extra dmg when target is under 15% health)

    I was pretty upset about this as the thing that proced it was the overload that brought me from half life to 15%. The unluck was real and he thought he was cool, when he really was just DAAAMN lucky,

    I think one of the saddest deaths I've personally had was when I tried to go explore Boethiah's sunken temple (because I saw it in ES3 and wanted to see what it looked like in ESO time). Before I got there, I got mauled by slaughterfish.

    First death in ESO that I remember having, I was on the Covenant ship watching Balreth smash and couldn't figure out how to get back to land. So I figured I'd jump over the side an swim back to shore. Nope. Slaughterfished.

    Or there's the time I rode all the way from Pact territory (which was maybe their first three keeps at the timel to Chorrol hunting skyshards and lost my footing just short of the one in the lava chasm, falling into the lava.

    Deaths to skeevers, this game's equivalent of the giant rats many MMOs (and Oblivion) have you slaughter as your first foray into combat are also particularly tragic.

    Outpost porch death by Javelin/Destro reach, when your body becomes ethereal and turns solid just before touching the ground...
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Dropping the siege shield temporary slotted isn't half bad too.

    At any rate the worst is gap closing into oblivion lag, and the winner is:

    Having your game crash while nearing the end of a Flawless vMA run - and returning to a score with your swift death accounted for.

    I personally detest dying in Imperial City or its sewers from something completely out of my control, such as a Disconnection or glitch. Double so if I was carrying a boat load of Stones and end up losing half because of it.

    This is the reason I am also wary of playing 'hardcore' mode in online-based games.

    My 1st time on vMA last boss, upper platform, the last crystal was like few hundred hp left...

    I have roll dodged a boss skull ball attack (could not remember that skill name), and fell off the edge

    I think I was dead then the crystal was killed by my dot, the boss enter the phase 3...

    I was so so so so happy, I have spent days on this boss, and finally that was the 1st time I get into phase 3!

    I was so exciting, then I rushed to the shield sigil and picked it up, and then I found everything was so quiet...the boss was not moving, nothing was moving...I freaked out, you can imagine my face, I almost tear out, I hit my keyboard like an insane emo, yelling " dont lag me out dont lag me out!!!!" or something similar...with lots F words in it

    and the god heard me, and all the sudden I got so many dps on me and my screen turned dark grey...

    but it is not over yet... I was sitting there (mentally lost) waiting for the rez window, waited for a minute and I realized the ESO is stop responding....when I log back in I have to start the final stage all over...

    I have dropped the vma for week or 2, then go back and beat the hell out of it.

    now, I dont want to go back to vMA not even back to ESO anymore, but it will be a vivid memory how ESO is such a great potential product with a such terrible gaming experience, for me.

    That my worst death of TESO, maybe my worst death memory in my gaming experience...so far

    but the vMA is always lagging, broken, unbalance, skill stuck, randomly lag out, lag spike sudden death, out of range nuke etc nightmare for me, I have adapted it, but tbh it is not a challenge, far from fun, it is just a nightmare you have to get thru to get the end-game gears, thats it.

    I have canceled the sub and taking a break right now. I have enough of nightmare gaming experience from ESO, but keep coming back to check the forum XD

    Last Boss of AA, a mini-mage appears under you, put you hundred of meters in the air, you're going down, the main platform is closer, closer, and you miss it for 50 centimeters to continue to fall down under the main platform. And of course no loot for you on this boss. But what a laugh :D:D

    A gamebug to death :o

    Sometimes i saw this in PvP now. I was full or nearly full life and dropped to zero when only 1 low damage skill was hitting me. I dont know what this is, when not a bug...

    Discovering that the hole in the bridge was not just a cosmetic hole. :/ I play another game where if there are boards over a gap it doesn't matter where you walk across that gap. I was over a very deep gorge and discovered that this one, in fact, did indeed require me to walk across those boards.

    My bff had a lag spike while we were moving through the darkness in the al-Danobia tomb, and I did not. So before she could even tell me she was lagging, she unlagged, and to her I just shot forward and left her in the hideous darkness which promptly killed her dead. It was traumatic for both of us.

    Narrowly escaped worst death that would have pissed me off the most, which was slaughterfish on the FREAKING SHORE somewhere in the AD, can't remember which zone but we were super offended.

    Speaking of AD and slaughterfish... when I was going for Master Angler I headed down to the miserly 2 "Ocean" fishing holes outside the AD gate. Spotted another one near some rocks by the shore. Tried to get to said rocks... slaughterfish took me down before I could get back to shore. Man, it was a looooooooooong ride back down from the DC gate... xD

    Environmental damage from the wall behind Hiath The Battlemaster must be the worst.

    First we are being all sneaky to sneak around him and then we sneak too close to the wall and it stands there and Walls us to death!

    (Not sure if this is still a thing but many a brave warrior has made the I'll fated mistake of getting too close to that wall)

    Oh and as for PvE: Aetherial Archive where the group gets split on three different platforms and has to kill mobs on it. Common strategy is that the middle group stays in sneak until other platforms are finished. You have to sneak immediately after porting in though or else you pull Aggro.

    So. I ported in. Went into sneak but had alerted the mob. I dodge rolled back to get out of Aggro range. Rolled off the ledge into oblivion. -.-

    Final boss in Vma, jumping from the platform after destroying a crystal and one shotted by the boss while in the air.

    Dying from rng in Vma is also annoying.

    Going for flawless in VMA for first time on magplar, put all my DOTs on last crystal up top to finish it off and thought I'd be smart and roll down before the boss knocked me back into the lava and went straight into a ghost. That and the fall damage killed me - RNG gods rewarded me with a lovely sword and board to complete the troll.
