Your most embarrassing CoX moment

I'd imagine this post has been done before but I couldn't find it. I saw a message looking for a kin for an ITF the other night, and thought to myself 'oooh I've got a totally purped fire/kin I haven't played for a couple of years'..........swapped toon and ran to Cim ( at this point alarm bells should have been ringing......I never use SS these days I'm too clumsy, I just run into stuff). the long and the short of it was that I completely screwed a MoITF in a few minutes and basically made an epic fail of the whole thing
I'm usually pretty good at what I do but this one stuck in my mind and I was wondering if anyone else had any tales to tell

My most embarrassing moment? The form of address me and my brother use to greet each other. I accidently left my tab on broadcast and as soon as he logged in; "Yo negro (sorta), ready to go!" went all over Atlas Park.

I was waiting to get blasted for it, but nothing ever came of it.

Typing "AFK for a sex"

When I returned, my teammates were laughing. Scrolled up to see why, and started laughing myself.

I think my third or fourth Katie run, I decided I knew how things went and ran out to help free Katie on the last mission. This would be on a toon with superspeed, no fly, and of course Katie latched on to me.

I felt stupid, but we still completed the mission. And I've seen other people make the same mistake since then, on several different occasions, it's a common mistake when people aren't completely familiar with how that mission is usually handled.

After playing WoW I logged in and began camping a spawn. After three minutes of my bf laughing at me it dawned on me what I was doing. I promptly logged off and read a book for a while before returning. I had even chewed someone out for attempting to kill steal my spawns.

--Trying to enter the Atlas train from the Exit side, then broadcasting a complaint that the trains were bugged. >_>;;

--Eagerly leading a team to a Kings Rooftop, searching for Circle (back when they didn't spawn on the ground), then finally reaching the top where the glowing rings were coming from... and discovering that it was, in fact, the glow from a DE Tree of Life... =o_O=

... surrounded by very purple DE... wipeout... =>_<=

Coming from a game where you just *ran* through an open door to transition to another Zone, as a newb I held up my team for like 15 minutes because I couldn't get through the door from Atlas -> Hollows.

Someone finally suggested clicking - I clicked on the door, the sign, etc. still no luck. Turns out you kinda gotta click on the security guard's e-peen to transition.

You will obey the Pants! =>_O=

:P

Exiting a low level mission in Steel Canyon shortly after I started playing, only to see an enemy type I'd never seen before (and before I really got the hang of that whole 'colour-conning' thing), and thinking, "Oh, neat!"

*BLAST*

Owwwwww...

Then:

Me: Something just blasted me out of my shoes. I don't know what it was but I've never seen it before.
Helpful person in broadcast: Mouse over it, what's it say?
Me: Uh... lvl 42 Communications Officer.

Cue a wave of LOLs.

After a teamwipe courtesy of Recluse on an STF, running back in and trying to tank him without my toggles on.

He looked at me funny and I melted.

when I started his game I had the weird idea in my head hat the whole thing was open to pvp anywhere. The first time I saw a Murk Eidolon I thought it was a real player... I never said anything but I'm embarrassed anyway.

Let's see... Me and my friend both had blasters around level 14. we were running around Kings Row and found 3 Clockwork Paladins. This was the first time we had ever seen a GM. We concluded one of them must be the leader, and that if we kill him then they will all die. Next thing we were saying is "RUN! It's chasing us, RUN!"

oohh...

So I was in a relatively static SG of 5 people. We made some new toons to go from 1-50 with...I decide to make the teen age angsty guilt ridden DM/DA scrapper named Kid Vengence. Right about level 14 one of the others points out I mispelled Vengeance. Im not a stickler for spelling so I couldnt let that stand. I rerolled and put in a marathon session solo to catch up.

I joined the team for the first time and theres a number of snickers on vent. "Wha?".....someone replies..."You killed my parents, so I baked you a pie". Laughter ensues....Then I notice in my haste to get rerolled I had spelled Vengeance correctly, but missed on Kid. I had named my new Dark scrapper "Kind Vengeance"

I defeated a Hero in RV then mocked him evilly. I ran away backwards as he rezzed and was promptly trampled to death by a running group of Longbow.

In my defence, I am responsible for the most embarassing moment of several hundred other players on Champion. Every Christmas I summon a Ouroboros portal on top of the burning log fire and spam a selection of lines in local chat, such as:

"Wow...you mean this year clicking the fireplace awards an uncommon recipe?"

"I only got an inspiration. How come you got an IO when you clicked the fireplace?"

"The fireplace is clickable again this year? I thought that got fixed."

"Why would they make the fireplace clickable to award rare salvage?"

I stopped counting the number of people who have fallen for this prank, after the first couple of hundred. Thankfully, almost everyone finds it funny and I was once told I had found the only way to be truly villainous in the game

So an SG mate of mine makes an AE arc he calls "The Proving Grounds" and the SG goes through it while I'm not around. It was full of custom mobs meant to be very difficult. The guys were talking about these enemies for weeks. Made it sound like the gorram bogeyman. I, being one of the few min/maxers in the SG, and figuring he just made ungodly tough scrappers out of the lot said "How bad can it be?"

I claimed I could do it on +0/x8. I had a warshade. It's got some purples. I've got perma eclipse. What can happen when I've got 85% resist all, capped damage, and mez protection when I need it?

Apparently, a whole lot of nothing happens when you're sapped dry of endurance and debuffed to hell and back. The minions had radiation emission and radiation blast. There were force fielding/elec lieutenants. Grav/kin bosses. Everything on extreme.

I have never felt so humbled.

Everyone knows a full team of defenders is one of the most powerful things in this game. Well, I had just experienced what the devs did when the RO got together for the first time.
