What is the funniest thing you have ever experienced in game?

[CrimsonEagle]

Ok, here I am, standing in Meridia, down bottom, about half way between the Auction and the platform where the mailbox is.

Having an enjoyable conversation, just chit chatting, you know.

All of a sudden, I catch a flash out of the side of my eye, and hear "Arg". I turn to look and there was a little halfling caster crumpled on the ground incapped.

Now I know what he did. He jumped off the top, and didn't have his feather fall on, and I started laughing. You know the laughing I'm talking about, the knee slapping, cant breath, tears coming out of the eyes laughing.

Now, I've seen some funny stuff, but that just about killed me!!!

I sent him a tell.

Me. "LOL, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you, that was the funniest thing I have EVER seen in game!!!!"

Him. "Can you heal?"

Me. (I'm on my barb) "LOL, no, I'm sorry, I cant"

Him. "I forget to put my feather fall on sometimes".

LOL, I can still see it, and I'm still laughing.

So, my question to anyone who would like to respond. What is the funniest thing you have ever seen in this game. Something that you reflect on to this day and still get a chuckle.

This one is going to stick with me for awhile. I'm afraid if something tops this you will all be reading my obituary.

It is moments like this that make me love this game. Just too awesome.

Crimson.

Most of the knee slapping, side splitting, laughing so hard I can't breathe experiences I've had in DDO involve guild conversations that I can't repeat here without being banned from the forums.

We do have fun tho.

VIVA LA FERNIA!!!

[Lorichie]

Ok, insanely stupid except for me, and a few folks that may remember.

very first time it happend was in maze of madness, forget the difficulty, surely it was elite tho. we had two rogues, but one was multi and wanted to see if he could spot/search and disable the traps. so we let him. he spots it, searches it out then bends over to disarm, just as the disabling animation is complete, the cleric drops a cometfall, which happens to closely enough resemble a trap blowing up :)

after a moment of silence, every one of us (cept for the cleric) stared in amazement, then start laughing as we begin to realize what has happened. Now the cleric, has been chuckling all along, waiting to see how long it would take before everyone catches on.

The rogue pipes up with, "cant believe i blew it" really depressed like
Several of us say , no you didnt, the cleric just pwned you.
Rogue says," how did the cleric blow up the trap"

Several minutes later i couldnt take it any longer and threw another comet fall :)

Rich

So now whenever i group with a rogue i dont know, the heavens let loose at least once :)

Silly, but sometimes its great to hear the rogue curse

Ahhhhh!!!!! I didn't know another one bit the dust. That is awesome.

Lorichie, from now all, all rogues are going to hate me, though I will be sure to tell them you made me do it, that sounds like fun:)


MissErres, I agree whole heartedly. We have a blast in guild chat and there are often times we laugh uncontrollably. And your right....some things would get us all banned:)

BTW...I want Merfolks blessing taken out of game. It seems the women in the guild find it funny to "pee" on my warforged and call him a fire hydrant!!!! Grrrrr....they actually hunt me down just for that purpose!!! Stupid spell. :)

[LazarusPossum]

A good example of not thinking before speaking: Last night going through entry point of a dungeon where there's a couple of grey oozes, I told my sorc buddy to hold on a sec, while I stripped down. I really hate getting acid damage when I don't have to, but he was just gonna jump right in. I heard the sssst on the first stroke, and said "see what I mean"?
"So you just get naked whenever you have to do that?" he said.
"Sure, if I know what's coming. It's less damaging to run in naked brandishing wood."
His reply? "I'm not sure if I know how to respond to that."
LOL'ing ensued. Then I decided to remove my foot from my mouth.

[StrikerDroid]

Ok this on actually happened to me. Our weekly group ran Skoros Jewel on Monday and for some reason I kept getting lag spikes. Well we got into one of the caverns and killed all the trolls at the entrance, I started ranging one of the trolls on the bottom floor and I didn't see the party move on ahead of me. Then two trolls walked up behind me and I got hit with another lag spike after which I found myself quite dead. The Group realized I went down and came back and got me ressed and healed up, They then proceded to tell me to not run off by myself. I had to respond with "I didn't run anyware, I just stood still."

[Osharan_Tregarth]

Well, I don't know about the funniest things...

But this morning:

After clearing the path to Slavers of the shrieking mines, after shrining... I made sure that I broke down the door with all of the monkeymen(where you get the key if you didn't bring a rogue along) to catch our casters running back into the quest after they shrined...

While in the quest, after smacking the monkeyman with the gong to stop the sonic traps from going off, our fighter activated the gong to catch one of our sorcs, missed, and hit the cleric.. Well, not so much missed as much as the sorc made his save, and the cleric failed his... So once we stopped laughing, we raised the cleric and moved on.

Made sure that I zoned out of Ghola fan first, broke down the front door to let all of the ogres/ogre magi into the front area, and then stepped back into the quest...


It was pretty much a spy vs spy kinda morning. :D


Last night when running fleshmakers, and with everyone "holding the line" to keep the golems from killing our poor squishies in the back, out comes the grease clickie, followed by a ball lighting....

[Arkweld]

Running through The Pit with my static group for the first time.

Sister: Why would you not build hand rails on spiraling raps 20 stories above freakin' lava?

Me(accidentally holding down voice):Ohhwaahhh!! OH My GOD I'M FALLING! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Game message:Your party member, Laburnum, has died.

[FluffyCalico]

comming up to a use or loose shrine on my cleric with half a bar left. Waiting for everyone to shrine so I can heal buff everyone. The barb instead runs off chugging pots down because he is at 97% health (someone he did everytime one of my heals left him 5 hp short) and after we are all buffed and rested up he starts yelling for buffs since he ran off and didn't get them and says it wouldn't take so long if everyone has the pots they should to heal themselves. Can't help but thinking how rich his toon would be if he wasn't a moron. Where is this you should have 5000 plat of potions on your level 5 at all time **** comming from? Also why waste potions on normal quests that there is no way on earth your will run out of mana on?

They only time you should need a bag full of potions is on elite about 3-4 levels above you and in raids. Thats it!

[SanguineDarkness]

Okay, the funniest thing that has happened (to me unfortunatley :( ) was when I was doing Tangleroot Slayer with a party, I was a level four Warforged and I was the only tank. We went into a small cave and I was in the lead followed by a Rogue and Cleric, 2nd rogue was in the back with the Wizard.
I was ahead of the rogues by a few feet, me and the cleric would bring the enemies out although I was ahead since I was the tank.
So I was first in line which was actually bad for our unexpected encounter.
After we killed a few spiders. I went farther and I was followed, I was ahead like before.
There was a Rust Monster charging straight for me! This was the first time I've seen one and I heard on the forums that they literally eat warforged. I got hit once for 42 points of damage so, not much HP left so I ran around in circles screaming "Rust monster! Rust Monster! It's going to kill me"
The party had shot it death while it chased me around. Once it was dead I stopped, then the Rogue which was a halfling said outloud "Shows how brave you are *laughter* You might as well of dropped your axe and ran around screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! like a little girl, *laughter*" there was several other Lol's from the party and a few Lmaos.
This had made me embarrased :|

[EternalDarkness]

This isnt quite as side splitting but I thought it was a funny visual. I was soloing Sacred Helm with my drow cleric of Vulkoor, so for the boss fight, I summon my Drow Scorpion to help. I'm casting sound burst, command, and hold person and clearing out the fighters, when on the other side of the room, I see a hobgoblin archer running full speed with the Scorrow hot on his tail. I was barely able to finish killing the guys I was fighting and just had to sit there and laugh while the archer ran circles around the room.

[Phidius]

First, I'd like to state my appreciation for this thread. So many of these are filled with whining, crying, complaining, and bullying - it's nice to read a fun thread.

My contribution:

Yesterday, my friend and I were duo-ing part 2 of Delaras, and were fighting Delara's shade. We were using wands of cure/repair to keep our health topped off, and slashing at her shade as quickly as we could. As we were doing a lot of missing, my friend joked "Boy, I wish I was incorporeal!". Two seconds later... <bing!> I was fighting Delera and his shade, as he had been ignoring the little icon that indicated Constitution damage.

The timing was impeccable...

[Forceonature]

Ran the Reaver the other day, and everyone is inside the entrance buffing up. A Pally is having connection/lag issues, so he decides to restart his computer. He comes back, and he says he is outside in the Gianthold tavern area, but the rest of us see him standing right in front of us (caught in two instances I guess). I like to carry a grease clickie for entertainment purposes and I type in: "should I grease him?" A couple of people say, "yeah sure!" So I greased him.

He says "hey, I just saved from something" when he was still at the tavern. Then he fell down.

[Rog]

back in the day i was running co6 elite loot runs and my experieced group pug a cleric he had no voice chat

Someone in another thread mentioned the "/death count" command, so I thought I'd give it a whirl tonight while waiting for a DQ raid to start up.

Good fun, right there. Yes, I sent him money for his repairs :p

I have a guildie who has a habit of f4rting in his mic. On Vent last week while we were inside the shroud waiting for the last members to enter, he ripped a RL soundburst into his headset and then went quiet. We all laughed(it was impressive), but he never came back on mic. He logged in and out of vent a couple of times and fianally typed in Guild chat that his headset no longer worked and that he was going to drop group and get a new one. One trip to bestbuy and 60 dollars later he's back in action.

That was some hilarity there.

And he happens to be the best cleric in DDO.

[Sweyn]

This was one of the first times i ran POP. After we kiled the end boss we were waiting for evryone to pop the chest. My friend told me to pick up one of the orbs and(not knowing better) i picked it up and i intantly died. Now i know.

[Lifeblood]

It was my second dragon run back when lvl cap was 10.
we had a know-it-all in the run (it was his second run also) he was telling everyone including our "guide" how to do this and that, pretty much pi$$ing everyone off. with his none stop advise and constant chatter about all his uber gear

we get to the air cannon that throws you across and up (the one you can bump your head on) and he insists on going up first...

ok.ok you can go first...well to put it simply he forgot his ff boots AND hit his head, ricocheting him back into the pit too his death....I swear he fell twice as fast as he went up...all I could think was it could not have happened to a nicer guy..and then I realized I had spoken it out loud..I laughed so hard I cried

[Strakeln]

My RL friend once accidentally hit the push-to-talk button while answering a call from his wife.

He could no longer pretend that he wore any form of pants around the house. Worst part (for him) was that the entire group was made of RL friends, so we still pick on him about it today.

[Ezzee]

So myself and a guildie were in a pug Crucible run.

Now, my guildie has a habit of holding onto grease clickies and randomly using them. I had one that I had kept because it had underwater action on it.

So we were at the part where you start the swim through the spikes, and I saw him standing near the ledge, and figured it was a perfect opportunity to get him back.

Well, I hit my grease clickie, and accidently targetted the wrong area. Needless to say the guildie went into the drink, followed by everyone else, mostly on their backs. And there all doing the *** swimming in the water. I know it's like a BA move, but yeah, that was really funny, at least I thought so.

[QuantumFX]

My favorite story involves a guild run of Inferno of the Damned. We get to the end fight with Cinnus and get all setup for the fight. We spawn him and the melees are jumping in when all the sudden a Wall of Fire flares up on Cinnus. The sorc in our group freaks. Telling everyone “DO NOT CAST FIRE SPELLS ON CINNUS!” So, we move him away from the WoF, get set up and… it happens again. This time the sorc is cursing like a sailor over VoIP asking everyone if they're using scrolls or something. Everyone else is like “Dude, I have no idea where this is coming from I'm on my <Insert class incapable of casting Wall of Fire>.” Now, he's freaking out cause he doesn't know where the WoF is coming from. The beatdown continues for a couple seconds when all the sudden we hear of Voice “Uh… guys… sorry about that. I had firewall in the wrong key.”


Runner up, was a Shroud run that I did last night where one of the party clerics could not figure out why he was always madstone raged. (He wasn't a battle cleric.) When he complained about it over voice everyone told him to take off his boots but it just didn't click for him.

[faloutblu]

I was in stormcleave, it wasn't the first time but SC was still pretty fresh for me. We had got through the first few mobs and came to the edge of the cliff. We all stood there admiring the view when suddenly a minotaur roar was heard and the wizard went flying off the canyon egde! This was back in the day when FF was still a bit hard to come by and he disappeared pretty fast!

[CrimsonEagle]

It seems that many of the funniest moments for me involve the death of myself and others.

I think its greymoon, the shrine at the top of the downslope near the trapped bridge.

Guild leader decides grease the entire downslope. We all laugh as we slide down, fall, etc etc. Well, someone was seen by the trolls and up they come.

Ding....Ding...Ding...Ding...Ding. One lives. We were lucky enough that it was the cleric.

And another one was the first time any of us were in a quest.

Group runs ahead of me, but me...I see a door.

"Guys, there is a door here"

"GUYS...THERE IS A DOOR HERE"!!!

"Ok...I'm gonna open up the door".

Ding.

Group: "What happend? Ok...lets go get em"

Me: "NO!!! DONT!!!!"

Ding

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding

Group: "***".

Ahh, good times:)

I was 2 manning the vale on my sorcerer T'slanil and my friend was playing his ranger Listfire.I stoned a rat near the entrance and it ran away so we gave chase.we went by a loin so listfire charmed it,the cat chased the rat and we chased the cat,and soon we had every mob chasing us and then we died.After that the mobs turned on each other.

[adamr09]

LOL i remember back when Reaver first came out.

we were all buffing getting ready to go fight him and being sarcastic said in party that they cud check their deaths by doing the /death count (thinking everybody knew that trick already).

few seconds later im hearing DINGs all over the place and 10 of the 12 people were dead. Took me a very long tme to stop laughing from that one and will never forget it :D

When i first started playing i used to run with "hands free" one day my wife came in and we were being rather "friendly". Not thinking of anything, she leaves and i go back to the game and someone in the groups says "Uh you know we could hear everything". I lolled and then had to figure out how to turn on push to talk instead!

[transtemporal]

My two funniest were running Slavers and Rainbow with Ragemage. Theres something naturally funny about an increasingly exasperated german. :)

The first was a 'Slavers of the Shrieking Mines' pug and some of the party were new to it. First miner is accidentally killed. Very calmly Ragemage says something like "Guys if we kill 5 miners we fail the quest so please be careful where you're swinging". 2 minutes later another dies. "Look, we've only got 3 left so please stop killing the miners!" 5 minutes later another dies. "GUYS, if one more miner dies we may as well give up because we're not going to complete so you have got to stop killing the miners!" Shortly after of course, the 4th miner dies. "STOP KILLING THE ****ING MINERS!!!"

You have to imagine that in a german accent. Classic. :) Somehow we completed though, lol.

The second was in a Rainbow pug. We're at the spike pit with the columns. Everyone jumps across without too much problem, except for a caster who doesn't know what to do. So ragemage is coaching him through it and holding the light - "Line yourself up beside the ladder here, put on feather fall, we'll get a haste, then just run and jump straight across".
So caster tries it and drops like a stone into the spikes, ding! Didn't jump, no ff. OK, no biggie. We get him rezzed, buffed and he tries again.
Same again. Ragemage explains that you have to put on FF and jump when you get to the edge. This time he runs and jumps... floats into the spikes. Ding!
By this time I'm starting to giggle, as Ragemage explains that you have to keep pressing the w key while you jump. Dude tries again, jumps too early, into the spikes. Ding!
He does this 3 more times, once getting to the middle pillar before walking off... into the spikes. Ding! Ding! Ding!

Its the first time I've ever fallen off my chair laughing playing a game. I know its mean, but everytime I see the guy fall into the spikes, it sends me into fits of laughter. I think he made it eventually but I didn't see it as I had to leave the room so I didn't die. :)

[baddax]

The worst part about that whole thing is using voice and saying "Thats ok, no biggie youll get the hang of it" All without Cracking up!

Here's a good one for you.

During Beta, I FINALLY managed to get one of my characters to level 9(For the first time ever), and I unlocked the ability to teleport around Stormreach, which I thought was a useful ability for me to have. Anyways, I heard that there is a chance that you can 'fail' the teleport and fall sky high instead of teleporting to your location. So I disabled my feather falling equipment, and sure enough, after many teleports later, everything went pear-shaped, and I was screaming "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" as I was falling sky-high onto the bridge of the stormreach marketplace. I took 74 points of damage from falling and was incapacitated. Lucky for me that I survived the fall.

The funny part though, came as soon as I fell. Right as soon as I fell and went incap, a Sorcerer was passing by, and hearing me becoming incapped, turned around to see what was going on, and looked at me. The sorcerer didnt PM or say anything, but the look on his face literately said to me "What the heck rogues falling from the sky?" and I laughed at the weird expression at him turning around and looking at me. He moved on a short while later, and I eventually got back up.

I should have fallen on top of the Sorcerer instead, be funny if I managed to incap him also because of the force of the fall. Too bad that only works in real-life though...

[Loromir]

OK....I was still kind of new. Still in Korthos. I am in a PUG wondering around the Wilderness area waiting for group to fill. Another couple of grp members were also out ther too, but we were spread out all over the wilderness. I come down the hill and see one of my grp members ( lvl3 cleric ) running around in circles with a sahaugin following behind. The Cleric had full health and was carrying a heavy mace. I just stood and watched in amazement for a minute or so, and finally went in and killed the lizard with my lvl 1 fighter.

Got a tell back from cleric thanking me for saving his tail. He said he "always gets killed by those things".

Unbelievable.
