DDOGamer: Embarrassing

[geoffhanna]

What is the most embarrassing thing you can do in DDO?

Sadly, DDOGamer knows.

[Bumbaragum]

Joining an EE run with my barbarian without putting my heavy fortification gear for 15-20 minutes without noticing. That was a meat sack that got alot of insults.

Con/HP item same slot as haggle .....

Had the same thing happen changing stance once. Once.

[JOTMON]

~Equipping TOD boots as Horoth drops, get banished... as you are complaining about having your boots on...a moment of realization hits as you are featherfalling...
.. Doh... Cannith Boots of Propulsion.

~Repeatedly hasting myself after a TOD run and then realizing haste isn't broken...the boots are still on....Doh...

~Con belt is not a good swap location for heal scroll UMD users and Planar Gird GH...Ding...

~EDQ endfight and Autorun = Bad... Forever thereafter Disabled Autorun.

~Watching Lando demonstrate strafing to newbies at the wait point in Abbott and starting the fight with a few people still on the energy bridge... priceless...

~Artificer life... Tabbing to select targets, Alt to charge rune arm...periodic combined [ALT][TAB]... og, i am no longer in the game...

Ah, yes. The infamous mistypes...



This is one of the better ones I've seen. I usually 'forget' to screenie any of my *alledged* mishaps.

Forgetting to switch the Anger boots (for the striding clicky) back to fully unlocked rock boots to boost my run arm DPS for an whole quest and wondering why my shots sucked and I couldn't crit worth a ****.

[TrinityTurtle]

Forgetting you switched the button you use to push to talk with something you spam regularly and having a rather private conversation with your husband for the amusement of all the guys in the party.

I don't know about most embarrassing but,

I ran through half of elite Tear of Dahkaan the other day without any wraps on. How did I not notice that?

On a different note a RL friend was once chatting with me in game about a coming change in guild leadership......accidentally in guild chat. Was quite funny from my screen

I would have to say it was done by someone else.

Gamer's husband came into the room and because she uses Voice over Mic (farking Vadars out there.) the party got to hear all of the... "action" that was going on.

Gamer came back to the group after done, to an ovation. Party didn't forward in the quest much.

This is why Push to Talk should be a learned thing. Save yourself embarrassment, let alone hearing what else is going on in your area.

Yes, I too have done this. I also enjoy not having Feather Fall on during Von2 and similar runs. I'm the guy who suddenly dropped off the radar.

[Sillk]

I, for some reason, decided to cast Grease on the Red Named Beholder in Von3. Not sure what i was thinking, but for a split second, i really thought it would help.

[Captain_Wizbang]

Every time I try to play my caster.

I've done this with sleet storm. There's no worse feeling than right after you do it...

I thought the the worst time was the morning after.

Or the VOD/Hound beginning plummet to death to the bottom where all the nice living spells dwell.

[Hoglum]

I rarely pug...

...but when I do I forget to re-stock spell components.

[Fedora]

A couple of semi-embarrassing things I do:

Get stuck bumping into walls, railings, doorways, and NPC's when running through public areas.

Fall into the water while running along the docks in the harbor and have to swim 100' to the nearest ladder to get out.

Click on a warforged toon standing by the AH instead of the AH in the market. Once wouldn't be bad, but I keep clicking (and thus swinging weapon) thinking "Why the heck won't the AH open?".

Oh man I hate that. And every time it's something I can't get away with and the whole group notices. LIke the time I forgot to check them before i went in on my favored soul and couldn't actually raise dead or use my dot. LOL

[esheep]

I'll bite...

First you have to remember intim + shield block used to be an easy way to tank raid bosses like the hound.

It was one of my first times tanking HoX, my intim hotkey was "4" and my teamspeak hotkey was "ALT"... I was spamming intimidate -- occasionally I had to tell my guildies something on teamspeak.

First attempt of the night went horribly, the puppies decharmed quickly and it went south -- someone mentioned that they thought they saw a break enchantment go off.

Second attempt went roughly as well, only this time many people saw the break enchantment go off... the raid group was half pugs, so some blame started going around. People were furious.

Third attempt went fine -- mostly because I realized that my "ALT+4" hotkey was "break enchantment" I told my guildies after the raid and we all had a good laugh, but no one ever suspected the tank.
