Most Embarassing 'Lock MomentFollow

Similar here.
I was already 70 and running two friends through gnomer. Towards the end there is a place from where you can see a few mobs in a building in the middle of the room. Being sure the mob we were attacking was my target, I shadow bolt (with Nightfall, so instant! no time to check what I was doing) and the mob starts running at me agroing some 50 other dwarves.

Of course we wipe, but the best part is me whistling around pretending I don't know what happened.

Luckily my party was all made of really forgiving RL friends...

I have made som Uber noob mistakes

Vying for top position, was my classic - i couldnt work out how to get to Ironforge from Stormwind. (at level 25 ish)

So i first tried going through Burning steppes (died several times and realised i wasnt going to make it)

Next idea - i ran to west fall, and, making sure i stayed as close to the coast as i could, i SWAM from west fall to Menethil harbour. (About an hour and half swim). i just kept thinking, 'why do people have to swim this ridiculous journey to get the flight path...?'

How my friends laughed when i told them. at least i picked up the flight path when i got there.... sigh

My next most stupid mistake was

when i first tried to cast soulstone on myself, i think i accidentally clicked the wrong target (rather than myself). SO it naturally said 'invalid target'. It was about 20 levels later (not until i was level 40 odd) that i realised i could soulstone myself...

Again, how my friends laughed at me....

Sheesh... I always seem to pull out something stupid. hehe. I normal just give a Homer "DOH" and instantly /g HAHA! Guess what my dumb #ss just did!

MY last big ... humiliating moment. I have been doing BGs a lot lately since hitting 70. Well, more so then before, though my sig shows lameness in my PvP noobishness. Anyway, I do D in WSG a lot. Hide by the flag, someone grabs in Amp curse > Curse of exhaustion. Then chase them and dot their bums, throw a death coil or something, blah blah. Anyway, they kept breaking their slow movement... like QUICK. Well, this on Tauren I kept hitting with it... Finally just stands there. No one else is around.. He walks up to me. I'm just standing there like a 12 year old girl when the kidnapper says "You want some N'Sync tickets?" and he stops. .. And slaps me. Sighs. And walks off. With the flag... I was chagrined and annoyed, so he died. lol.

Well like the NEXT DAY grinding gold for my flyer training it just hit me.. I had been overwriting the exhaustion curse with CoA immediately after landing it >.>; I felt so damn dumb. lol.

no, it amplifies all three.

yeah, I've blown so many CoD's with CoS, it's not funny anymore. I had to train myself to watch the Natur Cast Bar's timers for the cooldown on Doom, which also serves as a timer for its detonation. One thing though, that drives me crazy is the times when you remember to first amplify it, then NOT ***** it up with another curse, and then the mob dies 2 seconds before it goes off. So, it was all for nothing. Fantastic.

I was playing my druid - got asked to help out in that quest in the tunnels up in northern Stonetalon.

The lock in the party ... gah, what did he do right? Well, he dotted and shadowbolted what the tank was on, but that was about it. He wouldn't ss the rezzer (ss'd himself). He had out his succubus, and when it came time to jump, I told him WAIT.

"Why?" he asked.

Because you need to dismiss your pet (but he'd already jumped).

"You noob, it's a succubus," he growled. "She's invisible."

Yes, but you have to turn it on.

"Huh?"

You turned OFF her invis mode - it's not on AUTOCAST - hurry - hit it - dismiss her. It was too late. I'd never seen such a train since Blackburrow in old EQ! Whew, what a slaughter!

He was a tad more humble after that.

In MC last Christmas time we were getting ready for Golemag and I noticed that his 2 adds had little red noses like Rudolph so I decided to take a screen shot. Normally I bind my mouse scroll up wheel as my pet attack kinda like a "Sick Em" motion with my finger. In taking the screen shot I had a brain fart and tried to zoom in and Kuptip tried to tank Golemag for all of about .0000005 seconds. Lots of Who's was that, and Keep pets on passive!

lol omg...

What about the trains in that place... oh I forget the name now. It was a castle with undead dog men inside it. There was a raid boss in the middle of the place. There was only one exit, if you screwed up deep in you had to run all the way back out screaming TRAIN!! Everyone would groan, move out if they were quick enough and yell at you if they weren't.

Or that undead place - the mansion in the Cauldron. Another place with one exit. Somr awesome trains in that place.

EQ sucked for the XP penalty when you died, and corpse runs could be a complete disaster. I got DC'd one night in some jungle place somewhere, and my toon ran right into a hut with some nasty ghost type fellows inside it. I didn't know this of course as I had DC'd. It was NOT fun finding my body. Something like 18 deaths later and a sobbing ticket to a GM (who didn't help me, what a *******) I finally managed to get my corpse back.

Your corpse would rot too, if you left it too long, along with all your stuff. I'm so glad I don't play that game any more to be honest.

Anyway, didn't mean to de-rail the thread, on with the embarrasement...

Has anyone tried free falling from your flying mount from really high up into water? It works really well as long as there are no silly bits of land jutting out of the water. It wouldn't be so bad either, if there were no members of the opposite faction nearby lol'ing at you for it :/ Not strictly a 'lock moment I know, but still embarassing.

meh my most embarassing lock moment was not learning summon imp untill level 13
for some reason i just never did the simplest quest

I'm positive. When I'm putting on my instant spells I can tell it's 1 second. Besides, when I cast searing pain (1.5 spell), the other spells on the bar do the thing that tells you global cooldown is up and I'm still casting. It's possible that it used to be 1.5 seconds, but it's definately 1 now.

When I read this line I thought you killed yourself aByakugan. That would have been a lot funnier.
