Awesome Super Happy Megathread

RapidUrsa · June 2019

So I’ve returned to this game after a little break and the forums seem to contain less positivity than when I left. Sure I understand not everything is perfect but I love this game and the community as it gives me a space to relax in my hectic life haha So lets get a positive thread out there of all the funny stories, good times and big achievements you’ve gotten in game!

My best laugh of all time goes to the 100 health left on Rakkat! Literally 1 hit left but got a wipe and rather than getting downhearted or sad my raid team were laughing for about 10 straight minutes! We got him on the next go but a great memory!

Please share yours, looking forward to this thread!

the sheer relief i feel when i finish my grind for vigor and caltrops on a stamina character and don't have to pvp anymore.

RapidUrsa · June 2019

@Browiseth I remember my grind for ebon 😂 the rings just refused to drop, took me about 2 weeks but pvp must have been long haha

MartiniDaniels · June 2019

I needed ice staff of powerful assault and there was only one in guild store, for 500k. So I had like 20k telvars in bank and was already preparing myself to grind for many days and open 50 lootboxes at least, but it dropped in 2nd one! It was such a miracle given that I didn't receive a single fire BSW staff in countless city of ash pledges.

Just recently, during my first Dragon fight. He took off and circled back. I had a hunch what was coming and kept mobile a ways away. I watched as the Dragon flame strafed twenty odd players, and twenty odd resurrect crosses popped up.

I laughed so hard. I wish i saved a clip of it.

In general though i just appreciate the questing. There are stories that invest me, dialogue that makes me giggle, characters that make me swoon.

Right, those damn 3 hours of pvp.
Wish i could get to rank 9 undaunted as easily and fast as zerg surfing.

Hahahaha the first dragon I encountered as a wb scared the life out of me! I wasn’t really concentrating on the game but on my phone and looked up and just knew I was dead! Can’t help but laugh

@Vietfox my friend, this is an awesome super happy megathread

take your bitterness elsewhere

I think the most fun I've had in this game was when I started playing melee magicka nightblade and realized how much I could move around as a vampire with shadow image, concealed weapon + cloak, cripple, and lotus fan. I was a bosmer wood elf, but didn't care that I was basically playing a stam character on a magicka build. Overtime though, they nerf magicka NB every patch, we've lost most of our major expedition, and damage. But, we still have a long road to go; magicka nightblade in general received some pretty big buffs in patch 22, although not enough. Melee magicka NB remains one of the hardest classes to play, with almost no return on the investment. It's fun to be able to move around so fast like a ninja, but everything is spread too thin leaving only a few niche builds viable. They broke one of the only builds left that worked in pvp with update 22, apparently what made it work was a bug in some set of armor.

I came in here with the aim to be positive... I digress, but don't mean to derail! I think my sentiments can be shared by a lot of people, in many roles and classes.

Honestly, the most positive thing I can think of is that I think this game is moving in the right direction, which I am excited about.

Guys just tag me when the salt starts flowing, you know i love salt.
The happy part that supports the thread:
In vSP last 5% all team wiped but me (tank) and she was going to stun me, luckily i managed to get onto the safe rock, and then ressed, and we managed

RapidUrsa · June 2019

@zvavi you must have a good story! Before the salt come the fun! Give us one

I suppose it's relative, because I feel like what vietfox said was positive, from my perspective

Also from my perspective, your original comment was negative, just more nuanced. Our positivity is relative, and to be fair you were negative first, lol. Not to mention you're contradicting yourself here.

My new jerboa pet makes me laugh. It's ridiculous with its boinging, just over the top cute.

I still love the sporchy noises my swamp jellies make, too.

Yep, and combining that with new false god we literally have endless magicka and speed and can go in overland like real shadow, leaving only trace of corpses which died in path/blockade when you were already in other group of mobs.
So it's like twisting path+cloak+concealed until you get to mobs then light attack+lotus+la+blockade -> cloak -> moving to next group -> light attack+lotus+la+blockade, repeat with joy non-stop

Especially fun when some newbie is slowly pecking mobs in delve and you just come out of nowhere in series of lotus and wipe delve clean in a minute or less and then you see him standing with expression like wtf just happened

Recent happy moments of success:
I was able to finish veteran Maelstrom Arena for the first time on my main, stamina sorcerer a month or so ago. I do not know why I didn't do it before, but achieving that makes me more confident in my skills. Of course, RNGesus didn't bless me with the right weapon(s), which means I need to do it again. And as a symbol of my proudness, my main now wears the title all the time!

Yesterday I finally finished my Relequen grind. I have grinded for a week for the said set, the last piece, relequen belt, took me a couple of days to get. Luckily, the last run yesterday somebody got the belt and was willing to trade it away, as a token of gratitude, I gave them 50k gold for the piece. (No, they did not ask any gold for it) At least now I have 5 pieces of Olorime and Siroria, because those were dropping in numbers for me. (I even have an Olorime resto staff, which nobody wanted even tho I linked it after the run where I got it)

Well done on Vet maelstrom! That’s a huge achievement

Hippie4927 · June 2019

I had four keys from pledges and really, really wanted Valkyn Skoria in divines. I didn't have enough crystals to transmute anything. I just knew I would get some stamina shoulders in lousy traits because that's my RNG. I put in the first key and hesitate to look but son of a gun..........Valkyn Skoria in divines!! I still have the other 3 keys. I almost never have that kind of luck.

Your story made me cry.

InvictusApollo · June 2019

Recently in noCP IC I met an almost unkillable werewolf tank. Every time I managed to drop his health to execute range, he immediately healed back to almost full hp. Fighting him was extremely annoying because he had 3 pets and used them to block my attacks. The fight lasted quite a while, long enough for his friends to arrive. Ofcourse I killed all of his reinforcements with ease but made a few mistakes and died.
Nevertheless it was an awesome fight in which I gained a lot of experience and managed to increase my skill. Afterwards I backward engineered his build and decided to use it on my stamden.

Elwendryll · June 2019

When I tried to teach Cradle of Shadow HM to people new to it. They all died during the phase in the darkness, and I figured out the "Don't move" phase lasts just long enough to rez someone, and we cleared with me surviving alone 2 times in the fight.

When I was on a healer with a tank friend and 2 DDs new to Imperial City Prison, we want to go to HM, and we keep wiping on Lord Warden. I relog on my DD and we clear it first time, with comments of amazement from the 2 new DDs when they realised what you can achieve in this game, and how far they were from that, yet.

When my trial guild introduced a new rank for experienced people not good enough yet to join the core group and I realised I already had been promoted as soon as they added it , when I tried to apply.

When I ran veteran Sunspire for the first time, looking for lokkestiiz body pieces and I got the perfected jack in divine on the first boss.

When I got Apex mounts on free crates.

When I got my flawless conqueror achievement on the first run after months without touching the arena.

And a lot of other little successes that made me happy.

I lost interest in this game for a long time, but now I'm very busy, and I achieve a lot of new things, and I get better. I'm enjoying the game again, and it shows on my state of mind in my daily life, a lot.

A couple weeks in and I still laugh each time that happens. Best part is when they rez in the fire and immediately die again.

Some of the dragon fight mechanics are downright hilarious. I've had a wing send me up and over a rockwall, well away from the fight. I couldn't even be mad, I was laughing too hard.

siddique · June 2019

When I was still trying to clear vMA, the last boss, I had him down to under 30k health, anxiety and nervousness got the better of me and I died. The bastid killed me 400 times before I finally got him down.

That moment of ecstasy has never been achieved again.

MEBengalsFan2001 · June 2019

I play another MMO game as my main MMO game. Whenever I come here I love how they have improved combat; love how the game is not pay to win or pay to advance. I love how content is designed and how much of it there is. I love the crafting system.

What keeps me from making ESO my primary MMO is the lore and I don't like the text chat system. As for the loree, I never played any other ES games and I don't have the time to read all the books I pick up to get caught up for the lore.

I do remember how this game functioned when it first launched on consoles. I'm glad that there has been major improvements.

One thing I do wish that Zenimax would improve upon are the daily awards. I use to play more when the awards were worth logging into the game daily. Since September the daily login awards have diminished in value and I found myself playing the other MMO game. If Zenimax wants me to sub and wants me to login daily and play for a couple or more hours each day I'm asking for better daily login awards.

Finally reaching cp1000.

Thats a milestone I'm looking forward to. I left playing on PC two years ago that toon would've long been over 1000, he was cap level or a few cp under it back then.

Started on PS4 in November I'm 870cp now, not too bad for 7 months I suppose.
