What's funniest death you had in game?

kargen27 · April 2021

Was at the top of a tower and there was a nice sunset. My character is really short so I had to jump to get above the damaged tower wall to get a clear screen capture of the sunset. I hit the wrong key and instead of jumping straight up I did a backwards dodge roll to my death.

Shortly after these screen captures I fell to my death.

Oh it took me a while but I thought of another that used to happen to me a fair bit.

In the good old days a Dragon Knghts wings (reflective scale?) skill would bounce most ranged attacks back at the caster. The number of times I'd hit an overload light attack only to go "oh crap, that's a DK and he just popped his wings" then have it bounce back and one shot me...l 😅

I always enjoyed dying to that because it showed me just how hard my overload hit. Now DK wings are boring and overload light attacks have been nerfed so hard no one uses them anymore. ☹

I was running mounted through Cyrodiil and thought I will not die to fall dmg when jumping down the waterfall... of course I hit the shore & died.

And here is the fun part:

Apparent I was chased by 5 AD that I did not noticed (I was looking ahead and not behind me).

All of those AD died the same way I did...

I pressed "resurrect here" using soul gem. They also did... it was hilarious to watch 5 ghosts chasing 1 ghost. You know, you can only move at that state, and not use skills. So just because I pressed a button 3 seconds earlier than they did, I returned to "normal", sooner than them and I managed to escape

I’m calling shenanigans on this one. Since when can you self resurrect via soul gem in Cyrodiil?

You'll discover, if you PvE in Cyro, that environmental deaths allow you to res on the spot. That doesn't include slaughterfish though

Running Wrothgar shortly after it's release, I came across the cliff jumper.

She challenged me... I jumped.

Almost instantly...

I knew I made a terrible mistake.

Never even knew until maybe a year later that there was an achievement for successfully hitting the water at bottom. lol

I've had a few crazy deaths. One of the more recent ones was getting stuck on the side of a pad in vAA. Tried to jump to get out and ended up launching myself off the cliff on the other side.

If you die 100% to non-player or siege npc dmg.
(fall dmg, PvE mobs / bosses etc.)

Yes, if you die to the npc at keeps or resources it count as an PvP death and you must resurect at a keep. If you die from fall damage or to npc in an delve you can use skyshards to res at location.
Dying to npc in delves takes a bit effort however because of battle spirit, you take half the damage from the mobs.

During a skyshard hunt with some guildies we all followed our wayward leader off a cliff.

The guild wouldn't be named "The Lemmings" perchance?

Comfortably coming to town to empty bags and instantaneously killed by guards before I could understand what's happening... Had simply forgotten a little detail... the bounty on me...

Hmmmm hard to recall, there have been many strange and funny deaths.

Fall damage is always kinda funny. One time when I was doing HRC HM with my guild, I had been playing around with the key bindings for turning on my microphone. I accidentally bound it to X....the synergy key. I (the main tank) nuked everyone near me when I was just trying to say something.

Mega fail.
