Eureka - share your horror story and deaths

[Tsumdere]

Died helping my friend do a quest - entire FATE train ran past me and literally not a single person out of 60+ rezzed me. Friend had to return to town and slowly make her way back so I wouldn't lose exp.

People bragging about pulling cleaving enemies on to the buff elemental has become a pretty regular occurrence in the instances I visit. I don't think SE thought through how common it is for people to hurt harmless and/or helpful things for easy attention in the west.

Also lots of shouting creepy sexual things about Lalas.

I was around level 15 and on Paladin. My party was all around the same level too. We decided to try and pop Cyclops NM while the zergbus done Ziz/Dino.

A few Cyclops into our chain I get a 90k error right after shield lobbing the next Cyclops. I log back in to find our party wiped and no others around to raise us. But it wasn't the Cyclops that killed them, the weather changed and the Typhoon Sprites popped and magic aggro'd everyone. On top of this almost everyone was doing Pazuzu at the time since the weather changed to Gales, hence why we wiped to those Typhoon Sprites. My party members began shouting for help, some of them with hilarious comments and some offering various bodily services for these raises. :3

We thought this was going to take too long for people to get to us and we'd auto-return. We were on the other side of the map after all and most of the train that was doing Ziz/Dino jumped on the Pazuzu wagon since it was close by. After about 8 minutes of waiting and shouting we were getting ready to take that gut punch of an exp hit and/or delevel. Then this cute little Miqo'te WHM comes around the corner and casts raise on one of us...then another person shows up...and another.

Many hugs were had and some...funny comments to our heroes. #FeelsGoodMan

Snakes in a FATE!
That's all.

Exactly what I had in mind. xD
Nearly every time I enter Eureka and I hear "Who pulled the snakes!?"

I have to convert Anemos Crystals.

- when you die more often as a healer (because healing seems to aggro the sneks dragged in the FATE) than as dps
- I joined an NM group that started with spawning Serket, and having to run to other spots (I think White Rider spawned first, then Bombadeel, then another I forget) and back, and all that running had aggroed a few mobs along the way; sometimes I was lucky enough to outrun them but more often I get one-shot just a few feet from the aetheryte or far away from my party
- Zu Slams! to dps or not because you can barely see if the ol' Zu's facing to slam you or that person in beside you. people have tried containing them far from the group but they still find a way..! T___T
- right as you join your group you get hit by the monoeye's lightning or anala's shadow thing which you don't see because just a second ago you were out of range!

Oh yeah... primary healing in Eureka and it's like... I need to recover MP from all the ressing but if I hit assize, all mobs will magically turn to me as if I've done the worst pun in the world.
Bit of an ass move if you ask me.

Being alone and getting no help because I was busy in RL and was unable to grind 24/7 at release, I'm just running around alone at lvl 1 while everybody is camping the 20+ zones.

But even now, it's pretty much impossible to do since I work full time and can only play 4-5 hours in the evening and you need to 24/7 grind it. Guess Eureka was aimed for the 'nolife' players and not something for casual so I should just continue lvl my last few DPS jobs trough roulette's in the evening and skip this Eureka chizzle.
