Proudest Moments

I just solo'd Angarvunde in the Rift, and that boss was rough for an adventurer character with no real specialization. I'm pretty damn proud of that. Made me think of other moments I was proud of completing, like soloing Rkhardahrk in Craglorn (also rough as hell). I'm curious about what moments other people have as their proudest in ESO, either because of determination or skill.

Try to stay away from luck-based things, like finding a rare drop first try. And remember that these things are subjective. I have no doubt that for some of you, the two examples I gave would be nothing, but it was hard for me and it made me feel good, so be nice.

    Same exact thing happened to me my first vMA clear haha :smiley: only it was about a 6-8 hour period over two days :tongue:

    Another time was soloing my first vet dungeon. Vaults of Madness. Love that dungeon. Solo'd almost every non-DLC dungeon since then, but this one was the most exciting and fun for me personally.

    Then there was the time I duo'd Molag Bal in the sewers and got ran up on by 6 EP when he was about 10% life. We killed those 6 only to have a group of 7-8 DC run up on us. Thankfully a group of AD showed up and we dropped all the DC right before the boss died. That was one of the toughest, roughest, exhilarating and fun experiences I've had. (In ESO anyway, UO will probably always hold the title for the most fun in an MMO I've ever had.) Even though the most exciting parts happened in t the last minute and a half or so.

    Probably still my first vMoL complete. My guild back then did a progression group for weeks before finally getting a complete. So many nights just getting stuck on the first boss, thinking it was impossible that anyone could complete this cleanly. Twins was a nightmare for a beginner healer; trying to keep track of the other healer (since he wouldn't call it) and keep both groups alive was a Herculean task back then. Skipping Lunar was unheard of.

    Now, my guild is angry if a run takes more than 35 minutes. It's incredible comparing the two runs to each other.

    My first 20k parse with my own built from the ground up build.

    My first normal dungeon soloed.

    My first vet dungeon duoed.

    My first vet dungeon soloed.

    My first vMA clear. (INFUSED LIGHTNING STAFF \o/)

    My first 40k parse with the same build.

    And pretty much the moment each and every one of my personal builds has found their niche, and performed consistently under normal circumstances. I'm pretty happy about being self-sufficient as far as the game is concerned.

    I have, literally, nine unconventional personal builds, each with different roles and applications, on my main alone. I'm addicted.

    I have soloed almost everything in Craglorn, the proudest moment was soloing Skyreach Hold after I had soloed every delve (and every delve bosses). The reason why I am so proud is because I beat the last boss of Skyreach Hold on my first try. There's still School of Rahniza (or whatever it is called) to solo.

    Other proud moments:
    - beating the anxiety to play PvP in Cyro
    - clearing every single dolmen in Tamriel
    - Collected every skyshard in Cyrodiil
    - buying Ebonheart Chateau with gold

    The first time I took down 3 players in pvp at the same time, was such a rush. It's when I started to think maybe I'm not as trash as I thought.

    vet no death runs with PUGs. No chat, no voice, only perfect combat flow. Everybody act as one without any communications.

    It's like farming gear, instead you farming a team. So once per month you get kinda legendary one )

    Duo'ing Blackheart Haven with my boyfriend. :) Those familiar with the final boss fight know the mechanic is punishing for a small group and we aren't the best players in the world, so it felt like an achievement to finally do it, after having been defeated several times before.

    Leading a PvP raid vs our enemies when massively out numbered and actually winning.
    It was one of those "might as well, if we stay in the keep we'll die any way" choices in leading a raid, but beating the entire* AD faction with a raid of 20 then hearing the disbelief and joy from my group afterwords. Will never forget that moment.
    * two or three raids worth

    When the Imperial City dlc came out I formed a group for vICP(hardmode). I was running a dps magicka templar build and during the final fight all 3 of my group members died to the boss at the same time from the one shot mechanic except me.
    The boss was almost at execute phase so I went all in and started soloing it by self healing and damaging it.
    I was nearly dead and out of recources but I managed to kill him with jesus beam!(I had epic music playing in the background so it made this moment even better for me)

    I've had a lot better in game achievements through out the years like flawless conqueror and skin achievements but this one in particular really stuck with me for some reason!

    that's pretty funny. i hope it was all over a training Trainer of Training, too; i think that'd put a fine point on the drama :)


    whoops i forgot to go. one thing that stands out was when i first pushed to level a character. i was mostly in Auridon, but i didn't see much of the dolmen-train that i hear about. i was playing mostly in off-hours and i was pushing to get some of the dolmen achievements.

    in the very same fight, i soloed my first no-death dolmen, killed the last General for the achievement, and hit level 50 for the first time. i made a noise out loud.

    First vMA clear felt awesome. Also got the no death in vCoA solo on the first try. Easy enough dungeon but hard to do no death in groups due to the number of people falling to death :)

    Probably soloing my first group dungeons. Sure, I didn't choose the hardest ones but I had no idea what I'm doing. I felt so good to be able to hang those trophies on my wall.

    Another moment would be when I healed my group in pvp on a bosmer nightblade healer and made sure we conquer that keep. We actually made it. We got destroyed right after but before that I felt mighty good.

    Nothing else comes to mind.

    Oh man, there's so many of them! It's really that felling that keeps me coming back to the game. The beauty of this game is that there are different things to be "proud of" or get hyped about depending on type of content the person enjoys and current skill lvl which allows the game to cater to so many different types of people!

    Off the top of my head i can still remember the feeling of my first vMA clear and later my first flawless run. By the end i was probably shaking like i just drank a 12 pack of redbull! A few others were my first vet trial clear, my first vMoL clear and just recently my first vCR clear.

    There is something really satisfying to me about putting in a bunch of effort, with 11 other awesome people who are doing the same, and to finally have everything click in to place for all of us at the same time. I honestly think all the failing and wiping leading up to it just makes the end result even better!

    Almost forgot one really awesome one! I was looking to get undaunted up on my new magdk a few weeks ago so I qued for normal ruins of mazz and ended up getting put into a vRoM run instead (might of messed up on my end or a glitch). Didn't even notice it was vet until the 2nd boss, when the tank says "no-death speed run". We ended up doing just that! No one had a mic and everyone worked together flawlessly. On a character I had not really worked much on no less! Ended up doing the hard mode right after to get my skin. ----The reason I like this one the most though is that its one of the experiences i've had that keeps me pugging even though things can go badly sometimes, as you really can find some wonderful people

    vMSA arena then flawless conqueror few runs later. Was such an epic feeling. Was at it for weeks with that last boss and so many death's and gold to repair, it all just worked. Its also amazing how after that fist run, subsequent runs became so much smoother that 8 runs later I got Flawless.

    One of those occasions when I look back and realise I did actually improve considerably (I like to think) as a player overall.
