Mecha Knight Friendly Fire Turned On... Apparently

My party let loose a mecha knight in an arena and it apparently loved me because it would follow me around. So I went and healed and then went to stand on the button to get through the gate so I could go make a bit of food. The other person in my party started web surfing and when I came back, I discovered that I my dead body was lying on the party button. While I was gone, the mecha knight had shocked me all the way from about 20-ish health to nothing. To this day, I hate them.

......

Went to try solo JK. Forgot to heal.

I had like 5 hp.

It goes without saying, I died in like 15 seconds.

This a happened a couple

This a happened a couple hours ago:
My and my friend were at Red? Carpet Runaround, in the bottom right room. We just finished killing all the enemies and I got the key, my friend died on the spikes, I wasted time /epicfail-ing him. Two minis got close so I side-stepped(still holding shield) into spikes -.-

WHY U NO KILL T3?!!

On my bomber knight(Monomiis-Friend), I got into Tier 3 Lockdown because of my Stone Tortoise, while everything else was 2-starred! I went a WHOLE MATCH on Recon without a single death. Luckily I had my recon trick to help. Hehehe...

arena...

you know how people use the last arena to give heat to other players?

Well i was with 3 other people, 2 were dying so i could get heat, and the 4th guy was on the elevator.

Then, I accidentally step on the spikes due to lag, so I died.

Because the other 2 people and I were dead, and 1 guy was on the elevator, the 2 guys and I lost ALL our heat

(FYI, we spent 10 minutes doing that.)

Oh poo

In a JK run, my party members died, so I stepped in and finished the last bit of life JK had, was going to get health after, when I cleared some blocks i got a lil too close to an explosive box, and died.

Sky's fails

- The first time I went into Tier Three, I didn't know the FSC existed so I did a random gate and I thought Vanaduke was after the core.
- Doing about 87 damage in Lockdown.
- I bought a Brute Jelly Shield and I was going to sell it. Then I discovered it was binded to me.

I just have to post this somewhere because I'm inadvertantly failing UV farming.

I'm making Wolver Coats and got three Maximum UVs... all Curse. >_<

Littlebigkid
My Fail...

One time I energy revived a teammate. He lost connection.

I didn't do this but, one time this other guy in my party just ran ino the lasers at the end of the Munitions Factory (I think it was the one before the Roarmulus Twins)

Also today I crafted a Solid Colbat Helm (Which I was going to craft into a Mighty one later) and got 2 UVs.

I sold a miracle hood recipie for "profit" at the AH. Bid price 1k crowns, B/O 14k

It sold for 4k.... >_< RAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGE

Hehe

Jmsa, i did that too. Except it was with the 3* snarby bomb recipe.

My biggest fail would be... soloing an arena, and after getting the torches (cuz i want crowns, every single one) I crossed the elevator to walk back to the treasure boxes. Lag ensued, and i was across the elevator before it dragged me into its clutches, and carried me screaming down to basil.

Have you ever been body blocked by a Trojan into a corner? I have - Twice. It's not fun. ESPECIALLY if you're soloing.

VERY stupid

Once i used my only shadow key to go to Gloaming wildwoods shadow lair with my party, we died like 5 times on The second battle part, and finally, i pressed REVIVE ALL button.

It cost something like 3200 energy...

We still died after that and we gave up D:

EPIC FAIL.

Jelly King

When i was more noobish, i looked at CE prices and they were 3K for 100! I bought 300, and used ALL of it on one boss, the Jelly King. One level, one run, and many many revives. WE STILL LOST.

I had two Gigawatt pulsars in

I had two Gigawatt pulsars in my inventory, one plain, and another with a shiny Constuct Very High UV. I finally got a recipe for Polaris, and was so excited, that I crafted the wrong Pulsar (the one without UV) :| 800 CE and Spark of life down the drain...

"Profit", Lockdown, Krogmo Coins, and "Winning Millions"

Profit:I bought an Explorer Pack when I was new to get me started. I got the silver key and said to myself "What am I supposed to do with this?". I proceeded to thinking it was useless, didn't check the listings, and sold it on the AH for
Bid:300 CR
Buy Now: 500 CR

Lockdown:
a) I've gotten 0 damage twice now.
b) When I was new to it, I couldn't figure out how to cloak as Recon, so I ran into battle more than 7 times without cloak actually on, thinking it was passive.

Krogmo Coins:
1) I once advertised selling bombheads.
2) I spent a lot of time collecting Krogmo Coins.
3) I told everyone in /trade about it
4) I learned it is auto bound
5) I get a Voltedge Recipie
6) I learn THAT'S auto bound, too.
7) I learn it and never use it cause I don't have the shockburst line.

"Winning Millions"
The MOMENT I saw the Arc Razor I bought it. It just looked that cool at the time. I loved it so much that I decided to keep it even as I transitioned into 4* gear. Later, I learned about the Winmillion, the 4-star variation of the Arc Razor. Of course, I regret going positively BROKE over it. Wasting all that money was HORRIBLE because I now use 5-star gear. tried to use it in tier 3, and it literally made me soar into a bed of spikes about (ERROR) times. I'm planning on giving up on it soon and selling it to a merchant.

@Aeromatrix Well, the good

@Aeromatrix Well, the good news is you already have a Voltedge recipe, so replacing that Winmillion won't be too much trouble. ;)

I hate lag.

Biggest rofl fail I've had, seen... We were doing jk run with 4 of us. suddenly the server uber lagged in a spike room and next I hear to my horror is POW! DEATH! POW! DEATH! POW! DEATH! POW! DEATH! The server stops lagging and I find my face firmly wedged in the butts of my other three companions flopped helplessly on a spike trap...

Where do I start?

Wasted 200ce for a RT run... shield bumped a mini jelly into my friend and he died... Bought a Spiral Demo Suit thinking how awesome it would look with miner helmet but it just made me look like a fat pig(back when i was t1).

JK run

Back when I played this game on Kongregate, I was doing a 4-man JK run. I had 3 star gear, and I was doing all right for a first run, except for 1 thing. I got so caught up fighting the jellies with a sword that I unintentionally ended up hitting the exploding blocks on the stage. I died like 4 times that way.

Also bringing 1* bombs into lockdown. I kept dying like every minute. It was embarassing.

Also, once in FSC the pt

Also, once in FSC the pt leader invited a full 2* guy, and somehow he managed to take less dmg than all of us and save the pt several times (even soloing a god damn trojan o_o)

^I bet he was a F2P player. We tend to be more skilled :D
Grinding does that to you. I used to have trouble in T2 in 2* armor, but now T3 is a piece of cake with all 4* armor because it took me so long to get there.

@Mul

IDK but that sounds like something that happened to me

I join FSC Depth 26 as a friend. The party leader, a 3*, kicks me saying "I want 2 invite a guild member" which makes it worse, because I lost all my heat (darn you solo heatloss!)

A few minutes later my friend /tells me saying "He invited a 2* Wolver". Not long after he reports that the wolver is doing more work than the Party Leader. :/

Lol

I had a T2 friend.

He lasted longer than I did in T3.

He was very good at dodging...

COMPLETELY NOT SK RELATED FAILS:

Halo: Combat Evolved.
First scene on planet after your escape pod crashes. Covenant dropship comes in, My brother hides in the Escape pod.
After they land, my brother tries to take them out from his hiding place. Unfortunately, this fails, and elites constantly deplete his shield before he can kill them.
Now at critical HP, He sees a Health pack sitting just outside the pod. He makes a break for it, but crossifre depletes his shield and kills him before he gets there.
The 'death cam' zooming away from his dead body shows the heal pack right beside his dead head....

Minecraft:
Went exploring, had a sweet inventory of all sorts of gear and stuff. Climbed some moutain range thingy, and decided the grass looked greener down below by the lake.
Jumped off the edge. it was like 30+ blocks high, and 3 blocks wide at the base.
...
I hit the edge and died.
Diving in Minecraft fails.

Taking about 2 minutes to kill a gremlin that ran across the entire Deconstruction Zone. My friends were just following me and laughing.

Having opened about 5 red boxes. Seen them drop a 5* item and it always goes to some random who doesn't even know what they just got. Also once...I opened a crate and I was solo, saw it was a Wyvern Scale Shield and shrieked with exitement...Then some guy joined me about a second before I picked it up and he got it >:CCCCCCCCCC I raged pretty damn hard.. >:I

My biggest fail

When I was a noob, I thought the Voltedge was in the same alchemy path as the Static and Shocking Edges, since they all had "edge" in their names.

I even went around Haven asking people what the 3* upgrade was, until a kind girl told me that the Voltedge came from the Brandish and it was totally unrelated to the Shocking Edge. I was so embarrassed that I completely forgot to thank her, I just logged out and facepalmed for like half an hour.

This happened today and I pray it doesn't happen again.

Today I decided to aim for Cradle and All as well as Dauntless Delver and had gotten all the way to floor 28, I had amassed a total of 9 health caps so I was feeling confident enough to kill all the gremlins before going to the core, I had charged up my faust to kill a group of them but cursed myself before double clicking and killing myself.
I ragefaced then tried again and got to floor 26 before I lagged and ran into a Devilite's projectile which shocked me, before I could remedy myself, a lumber hit me and stunned me, then I ended up being slaughtered by devilites.

I'm trying it one more time before giving up.

Speciallemur
Worst spot for lag...

In some arena (the last part where you have to avoid spikes)
I'm fairly new to this game, so that being said, my biggest fail so farr is getting downed (next to the spikes) having a teammate revive me, lag a ton, and then running around while trying to dodge the spikes and the lag and the creatures, and lagging straight onto a spike spot and not beating it because of my one fail.

Ah-Bard
Just accidentally clicked on

Just accidentally clicked on the buy now price of 100k cr for 3 monster bones on AH.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My Epic Fail

There I was, in a wolver-themed level, clockwork tunnels. I came across a danger room and decided 'what the heck, its on tier one, even though i'm solo-ing i should be able to do it.' Now this being a wolver level, i was equipped with my Twisted Snarble Barb and my Toxic Needle.

When the mobs spawned, they were all Jellies. Epic Fail.
