What was your most embarrassing ingame moment?

Auto-running off platforms. Boss 3 in Nier raid, I focused too hard on dps'ing and moving away from the group with the marker that I casually walked myself off the platform. In afterthought, I ultimately protected the group haha.

lol...I had something similar happen while fighting Engles. During the intermission where he dives to destroy the platform, I went to stack with everyone on the southern edge in preparation for the next phase on the 2nd platform. Instead of stopping with the alliance, however, I just...ran off the edge. I don't really know why. My brain just decided I didn't need to stop I guess. My one healer was like ">.>" and my only response was "Yeah...I've got nothing. Didn't mean to fall off." I facepalmed irl really hard.

Back when I was leveling DRG, I had queued for leveling roulette and ended up getting Titan.

I had used Jump right before Landslide went off and couldn't move because of the animation lock. I ended up flying off the platform.

The other three members got it down without me and I got all their commendations.

Yaten + cliff, just a couple inches too far, on an already tired unto depression day.

There's too many to pick just one. I can provide many relateable experiences that involve getting myself or others killed, but nothing embarrasses me more than when I lose my shizz. I really hate to admit that I am emotionally unstable, or rather, I have a lot of difficulty of regulating my emotions once they're set off. I feel like a behave like a child with a serious temper tantrum, and it is so uncharacteristic - if not the complete opposite of my usual demeanor towards others.

What really makes it bad and shameful is when others place all kinds of blame on themselves when they know I'm upset. In short, they don't deserve to feel like their intentions were bad or misplaced when they were anything but that. My 20/20 hindsight will really polish this off too.

As an example, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to do frontlines after we exhausted our roulettes for the day. I've never done it, and prefer to stay away from PvP. After some enticement, I decided to go in anyway and it was a bad experience. My head turned into a flaming skull. I didn't just rip into my friend though. Pointing fingers, name calling and the like isn't how I attack. I tend to choose the right words that pierce through armor instead. I just went off about how crappy of an experience it was; I will never do it again, and probably what hurt him the most was saying I had no fun.

After I calmed down what I realized is my friend enjoys doing content with me enough to want to extend the night. That he was just wanting to do something unorthodox to our routine to bring some variety and shizzngiggles, you know? And I ended up making him feel like crap for it. It just makes me feel so disgusting, and horrible along with extremely embarrassed.

Just last month, in an Emanation trial, was probably the stupidest, most embarrassing moment I've had, and I've had many. Most of those I sum up as being relatively new and inexperienced, first time doing a duty, etc., so in this respect they're not noteworthy. Things I've run before or have decent experience in, I have no excuse.

I've mentioned it in passing in a post in the DF thread, but here it is in full:

Daughter had gotten to Emanation in her MSQ. Husband wasn't available to assist, and so it was down to me to help out (Daughter isn't allowed in any group content alone).

Just before loading into the trial, I check Daughter's Vril knowledge. She seems fine with it - in fact, more often than not, she's pretty good at mechanics. The joy of being a quick teenager, I think. The trial starts, and for the record, I'm in as a bard. No problems, no problems, and Vril... but oh. My changing around of my HUD has the onscreen Duty button covered up with other HUD stuff so I can't mouse button the Duty Action. Can't fix it in time. Die. Embarrassed. Get a rez. Okay, it happens. Oh well. Still can't fix my HUD in time for the next Vril. Die again. Embarrassed. Get a rez. Pootle on, this time taking a cross shape AOE to the back of the arena and... promptly run off the edge because I blinked or something. Dead again. Get a rez. Had realised just before that rez and whilst being dead on the platform, that I had bound the duty action key to my hotbars/side mouse buttons so I never have to hack at a duty action button with the cursor ever again. I'd forgotten doing that. Didn't tell anyone, but was still embarrassed, but at least didn't fail another Vril. The rest of the party also wiped, but I'm not sure why. Then I died at least two more times - to be fair, this was as a result of other people not paying attention so well, but still, that's the most amount of deaths due to dumb I have ever had. The worst of it, however, was my constant apologising to the healers, telling them to save their MP and whatnot. They were awesome and had it all covered. I could only comm one of them, though.

Daughter did fine, though.

I do laugh about it now, you know.

I am a healer main so I obviously don't particularly like when someone fails mechanics / dies multiple times during a fight.
What I hate even more is when I mock them a bit, only to fail a mechanic myself and die soon after... so embarrassing...

Aside from a handful of moments where I back-flipped off of the arena as a DRG or RDM? Probably the time I was convinced to tag along for a Sephirot EX run the same night I came home from a dinner party with quite a bit of wine within me. I don't usually drink alcohol so it tends to have a strong impact. It seemed like a good idea at the time to go with the duty. It went about as well as you can expect. Somehow we managed to clear it, the mount dropped and I won the roll. My friends found that hilarious, the randoms in the group didn't. One of them even asked if I was drunk or something...in not so polite terms. I responded with 'actually, yes' which has become something of a meme among my friends.

Some of my past threads have also ended up being a bit embarrassing, especially when people take them extremely seriously...

- i was doing the nier raid with my friends and we killed engels (the 3rd boss)..so i was a bit tired that day and i forgot that the platform connected to the stairs will be build after a few seconds..suddenly i saw myself falling of the platform :3 the same happened to my friend after a week. We had a fun time laughing about it xD.
- the other time i wanted to continue lvling my pld (i didnt touch him for months and he was lvl 70), got into 50/60 roulettes with two fc members and forgot to turn my tank stance on. They told me about it and i was searching for my damn stance, thought i found it and used hallowed ground bc it has the same color as the tank stance ;-;..so i finally found my stance (it was far right on my hot bar xD) and i activated it. A few minutes later i lost the aggro from a mob and i wanted to use provocation but instead i turned my tank stance off, then used hallowed ground AGAIN cause im blind af, used provocation on the mob to just lose the aggro again CAUSE NO TANK STANCE ON, needless to say..i had to sort out my hotbar. At least we didnt wipe '-' im sorry random healer </3
