What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

Remember : "Human Imagination is only surpassed by Reality."

I let Trooperclay's incredulity pass because I figured he didn't understand my reference to "MS" was an acronym for multiple sclerosis, a disease that progressively reduces hand-eye coordination and muscular control, in addition to a number of other fun things.

Happily, as I've indicated in another thread, I've found other aspects of MMOs to entertain myself.

i have had that happen before, looks pretty epic.

I've had many, but this one sticks out to me right now.

About a year and a half ago I was fortunate enough to join my (then) guild in my first Karagga's Palace op run. I was super excited! We were going swimmingly along, and I was learning a ton. When we came to the puzzle boss I learned how to do the panels and on our second try, we got him down. We were all having a great time. There were laughs and japes all round.

Anyway, we head through the door and our leader says something like, 'don't go too far. Some enemies spawn, (murder droids or something) and if you're not ready for it we'll wipe.' So we all get together and the enemy spawns, and for whatever reason we wipe. We have a good laugh and respawn. Again, our leader says 'don't run ahead...' but one of our dpser's doesn't listen and he runs down the hall triggering the spawn while only half our team are revived, and the others aren't even healed to full yet. Needless to say, we wipe again. Now, there are still a few giggles, lots of sorry's from our dpser, and our leader in a much more serious tone reiterates not to run ahead. All through this, we're giving the dps guy a hard time (in jest mind you), and I say something like "Dude.... you got a growling...hahahaha". Just being a ******** really. Well... that comes back to bite me on the butt.

We all rez for the 3rd time and for SOME reason I can not explain to this day, I thought the area where the mob spawns was further down the hallway, so I get up...still laughing at my guildy for getting us all killed... and run right into the no-no area. All I remember is my leader yelling..."DON'T!!" before we are for the forth time inundated by naughty baddies and get us all wiped for the forth time.

I felt like such an idiot, and my punishment was paying half my leaders repair bill :P

mine was when i did some research on cheaters. since release, people in the forum said hacks/scripts do not exist. only speedhacks maybe, but they got removed instantly from the game.. i didnt believe them, and according to other people that put vids on yt, no one in the vids or who they have reported ever got banned.

someone put vids on yt after he had reported some hackers several times. although he didnt mention any names in the title, or even that his vids show them hacking, those hackers whispered him next day after he put his first vid on yt, trying to convince him to drop the issue. he wondered how they did know about it, next day already when that vid only had a few views. and the conclusion is, that if you put content on yt, the owner gets informed. bw.

while there were sufficient indications in the forums, that just made it clear to me. my biggest facepalm moment about this game.

When I lost 360 affection from Malvai Quinn, a diplomatic and fairly sane character, for not committing mass genocide on Makeb, blowing up the planet and killing everyone. Oh yeah, and Katha Niar's death scene; when I was supposed to feel sorry for and get emotional about a genocidal, incompetent, weak moron who lied to me and constantly disobeyed my orders.

Today I was doing Oricon. In front of Tower Commader instance I saw Sith Juggernaut fighting multiple mobs. I was playing as Sage and decided to help him out, and attacked mobs. All fine, but I didn't notice I was flagged for PvP soon not only mobs but also my toon laid dead on ground, later facepalming for herself and thinking what happened

Are we supposed to listen to your banther about Katha Niar? Don't you think three threads with you posting about her is a bit... over the top? Bioware will not do anything because a single individual complains.

I lost more affection with Kaliyo for doing the same - granted, she is a lot more trigger-happy than Quinn, but how could she object to my desire not to destroy the planet that I (and more to the point, she) was currently standing on? How is this a thing to which ANYONE objects?

Yeah, you're actually right. I've posted WAY too much about her. But damn, she just pissed me off so much that I had to do a LOT of venting. Sorry if you disagree, and this isn't going to be a regular thing from me....But wow, I just REALLY hated her.
