What's the strangest dungeon experience you've ever had?

I once queued into a normal dungeon and when I entered I was surrounded by three Argonians looking exactly identical.
They kept spamming /kowtow until I eventually left the dungeon.
I imagine my replacement got the same treatment.
Trolls wasting peoples time aside - it was actually pretty hilarious.

You win I think.
Now for fun you should run down and pull a lot of trash up to them.

Ran Fungal Grotto II. We kill Spawn of Mephala. Two people write "tyfg" and leave the group. Seems they thought it was FG I

Almost the same happened a few times in CoH II after Mezeluth

Hahah had the same thing happen, a friend and I PUGged Fungal Grotto II and one of the other players was like "TY" and left after Spawn of Mephala - my friend starts cracking up as we were on voice chat together, then the other PUG did the same thing! He sent one of them a tell pointing out the error and said the dude wrote back "well I was in a hurry and g2g anyway...."

Werewolf tank

but that was me.

Let´s face it, if you see those red orbs you think it's a tank.
So do those blue and green ones with healers.

But hey, if this is the strangest dungeon experience you had, you should PUG more.

... that’s why it was strange. Why would the guy grind out tank gear and then... not tank?

Banished Cells 2 vet, the deadroths on the last boss knocked me back until i got stuck in the ground, i guess that not a part of the mechanics.

Haha yes had that one - got stuck in the rock next to the stairs where you enter

NordSwordnBoard · May 2018

Last night on Skoria, the fire atros kept spawning right after being killed. There were almost a dozen at one point.

Iirc, they shield him, so with them up he wasnt getting enough damage and I (tank) was burning through resources chaining them all.

zaria · May 2018

Remember another very weird one, this time an bug.
Cradle of Shadow, wiped some time on Dranos Velandor as none knew mechanic, one left and we got an replacement, replacement did not find the way into the room and stood up by an opening with bars high up on the wall, while we chatted with the the one outside the other dd managed to move forward and agro the boss by accident then pull the boss towards the opening and die. Boss now agroed the guy outside and managed to glitch outside the room kill the other player and stay outside, we could not hit boss or get him to agro us, we could not leave the room, group folded.

BRCOURTN · May 2018

Running Vet Blackheart Haven at VR 2 back in the day. My friend was healer and I was tank. I was a terrible NB tank, and when blackheart took my friend down, the rest of the group just died. We never finished, decided that dungeon was bull, and my friend basically quit the game after that haha

Egotistical frost tank barking orders during vet falkreath.

To fool others and not get kicked. That's exactly the point. Red orbs = tanks = no kick xD

AlnilamE · May 2018

One time I was running vet Banished Cells (now Banished Cells II) with guildies and the other DPS died and somehow got lifted up to one of the chandeliers in the ceiling.

We couldn't rez him, but every time one of us got lifted in a bubble we got the rez prompt for just a second. We managed to kill the boss anyway, and we were all on TS laughing about it, but it was really weird.

(Though this guildie is known for finding weird bugs and places to get stuck in)

josiahva · May 2018

I had some weird UI glitch that had the weapon skins reversed when I swapped bars. I was puncturing with my ice staff and shoot balls of ice out of my sword with S&B equipped...I felt like I was playing Zelda....happened in the middle of the Ogre Twins boss fight in stonecaller...took a few moments for me to adapt.

I guess, but any half-sensible player is going to figure out very quickly that it’s a fake tank, Ebon orbs be damned.

The only reason why I didn’t vote to kick the guy was because I was getting aggro and am capable of surviving that with sufficient heals. If someone’s going to fake tank, for heavens sake, do it in DPS gear, and do more than spam 2H heavy attacks...

kringled_1 · May 2018

I guess technically not a dungeon, but I've had two very weird sets of bugs in Hel Ra citadel. In one run, at the split, most of the lower group got teleported out as the gate locked. Eventually we decided to wipe, but even then some of us ended up stuck dead in the starting room, unable to be ressed or res ourselves. A different run, in that lower section, all my abilities would work or seem to, but with no animation. Once the two groups rejoined, none of my abilities worked which made that fight very messy as I w the tank. Fortunately things returned to normal for the Warrior.

Veteran dungeon, HM, no death, speed run with a pug. When it was over, I was like "Wait, what just happened?"

josiahva · May 2018

Last night I was running vROM with some pug with a couple sub-250CP DPS...and going through the dungeon well enough....wiped a few times on Xal-nur, but got past it and then got to the trash mobs in the calendar room...hit one button and ALL the ads were released at once. As the tank I was like a tennis ball...the stonecallers and overlords kept uppercutting me back and forth between them...didnt even hit the ground before another one would uppercut me...we wiped of course....like 5 times on pre-maturely released ads...eventually I ran out of time because a friend was asking for help on vFL HM...but it was pretty funny even so...I think we would have been able to finish even with the low CP DPS, they were pretty good considering what they were working with.

SammyFable · May 2018

Being put into vet fang lair, even though I queued for a normal random dungeon...

The Uninvited · May 2018

In the early days I used to run dungeons with some fun people who sadly don't play anymore. We were always joking and fooling around.

At one moment, the healer said to the tank: "If you don't stand still, I'm not going to heal you anymore!"
The tank responded with: "Than I won't tank anymore!" and just did /sitchair emote and let the boss kill him.

We couldn't stop laughing at the sight of it.

Most recent experience. vCoH2, the chamber guardian feared a group member into the wall. This isn't really all that rare or uncommon, but this time the boss feared the tank into the wall and then followed him in too. The rest of us still beat the boss, but we had to wait for the tank to die and the boss to come out.

I've had the same thing happen to me, the tank was feared into the wall and the boss followed. Decent tank so the tank wouldn't die and he managed to get feared back into the room!!!

Fear into walls while char is moving in slow motion
Auto drop from group at start of dungeon qeue arrival

Or the classic chain in the sacrificial zombies in round 8 of Vet DSA and whiping group

Aebaradath · May 2018

A CP 720 asking what jabs are.

FearAndPatching · May 2018

The other day I joined a pug for dailies. Heals were severely lacking from Templar healer, I figured at first he was a DPS that que’d as healer. I started watching him though and he was actually healing. He was around 400ish CP which should be fine for base game dailies.

Mid way thru dungeon though he started to talk about gear setups he’s looking to get. I asked him what he is currently running his response “Necropotence and Gossamer” I asked him how he gets the pet bonus from Necro as a Templar healer and he replies “I have lots of pets, right now I’m running a Nix Hound”...........

I’ll leave it at that

D0PAMINE · May 2018

Going into nVolenfell on my lowbie lvl 28 toon with 3 other cp200 and easily soloing the last 3 bosses cause the group kept dying over and over after I would res them (no one else would res mind you). Like c'mon

Last year, I had a bizarre glitch in a dungeon where my healer was frozen solid like a statue in a pose where her hands were covering her face, like a weeping angel from Dr. Who. It happened during a fight with a gargoyle boss (forget which dungeon). I could still make her walk, only instead of seeing the walking animation, she just slid along the ground, still frozen. I discovered I could still attack in this state (the spells/skills still worked), but since I couldn't see the animations for them, it was really tricky.

Not sure if this was caused by an add-on or not.

Volenfell. The gargoyle boss. It happened once to me. I was the healer... But it was a month or two ago!

Yes! That was it. It was Volenfell. So I'm not the only person who's gotten that glitch, then. I wonder if it only happens to healers?

Gargoyles can turn you to stone. Hold block or roll dodge. You can break free too

NewBlacksmurf · May 2018

Vet dungeon I joined via random where i believe the other three were friends who insisted we didn’t need a healer or a tank.

But got upset with me when I died....they also didn’t believe in doing a Rez cause they didn’t have enough spare soul gems at the time.

This was years back tho after IC.

Skua · May 2018

I had a tank named He-man the other day whose only armor was boots and bracers. It was normal dungeons so it was not really a big deal and he did fine it just made me laugh. He even had a big cat for a pet. I took a screen shot to commemorate it.

Just had the bizarre experience of running a vet dungeon with a DK tank (wearing a full set of Ebon, I want to emphasize) who merely spammed 2H heavy attacks and occasionally fired off lava whip and hardened armour. No taunting of bosses whatsoever, no crowd control whatsoever. At first I thought, well, maybe the guy doesn't have a sword and shield equipped... but no, I noticed him weapon-swapping exactly once, and he did in fact have a sword and shield equipped! We finished the dungeon with few issues and no deaths, as I'm good at keeping myself alive and we had a great healer in the group, but... still. It's like the guy thought that wearing Ebon would automatically make him a tank. All I could think was that he'd either copied and pasted a build he found online without taking the time to understand it, or it was someone's kid playing on their parent's account. Either way, it was a bit of a head-scratcher.

What has been YOUR strangest dungeon experience?

I've come across some tanks (in PUGs) that didn't know they were supposed to taunt the boss.

xeNNNNN · May 2018

vet dungeon before morrowind dropped, joined a random dungeon alone too just level my undaunted on one of my characters, I wasn't really trying too out do anyone in DPS i Was just messing about if im honest. Some guy started calling me out over nothing saying im doing no dps and im trash or w/e he then showed me his DPS and continued on for about 5 minutes after some heavily amusing reading I decided to post my DPS.

He had 32k (+4 AoE) , I had 42k (single target). He immediately left weren't even half way through the dungeon (WGT). It was honestly surreal. I really do not understand how people can be that toxic and arrogant then when they get beat at their own game they suddenly tuck tail and run lol.

I must admit though I did enjoy reading his "flaming" of my ability to deal enough damage. Some of it was incoherent rambling. Nearly everything he said had one response from me..... "
