Facepalm moment

[sladet99]

I was on the Alliance airship collecting the daily quest and mounted up to depart. Only realizing a moment too late that I had ground mounted instead of flyers. Quickly reacting I hit jump and whipped my main around to try to keep the followers on the air ship. Only one went over the edge into the Bombardment. Wanting to see the fall of my poor mage I ran the main over to the edge, hit jump to perch on the edge and mistimed it. There went my main over the edge only to be followed by the rest of the team as they were on follow.

In case you were wondering it is a long way to the ground under those airships.

The other day I was doing some quests on my five man team on ground mounts in Dragonblight and tried to cross the ravine near OS, completely forgetting that I am in for quite a deep dive - and so were my toons.

I actually had to laugh about it since like so many things, I should have known better.

More facepalm moves than I care to remember were caused by those damned bridges and elevators in Thousand Needles. ARGH!

Nice, 2400 rated team and you kicked their butt.

So I was turning in some quests in Icecrown on this small ledge very high up on a cliff. When my 5 shaman came in to land an Alliance warlock quickly mounted up and flew away. I thought nothing more of it.

So as I am busy talking to the NPC the warlock comes back and attacks my group solo.

Pro tip: Do not attack people that can knock you back when you are standing on the edge of a very high cliff.

Thousand needles was the first thing i thought about when I read the first posts. Can't recall how many times I fell from a high mountain. Thunder Bluff ain't much better. If an alt is stuck somewhere, I used to do a jump + forward on the alt, without turning broadcasting off ... = my 4 others jump from the mountain ... and when that happens 3x times in a row ...

Which reminds me to yesterday. I got me 5 flying mounts for the first time, so was all excited. Usually when I'm flying between towns I go grab a drink / smoke and when I come back my guys are just waiting for me at the airport. Now I was flying with my own mounts with auto run, got distracted and went for a smoke. To find my guys dead when I returned, as they crashed into some mountain and took a beating from a bunch of nasty mobs.

Or changing your keybindings ... what used to be the follow key is now the mount flyer key ... after taking off I wanna spam follow but hit the mount key ... 5x rip :/
