What's the worst thing that's happened to you while playing DCUO?

WHAT?!?! You "Like" that lightning stuck my house and my ruined gaming time for 3 weeks? Your sig fits you perfectly you evil person you!

Now that's what I call a party.

@ OP Bailey - the worst thing to happen to me while playing DCUO was probably laughing so hard I woke up my infant daughter. (The desktop PC is in the same room as her crib.)

Three years ago, when I was in Suit UP on USPC, on of their members had to go afk during a raid to kill a skunk with a machete or saw blade or something. Classic. I missed it happening live on Vent, but have heard the story repeated enough times that I still giggle thinking about it. It was the same dude that used to fall asleep during raids. I remember one night listening to one of the officers try to explain to him what "weapon combos" were.

same here lol they got us all good and addicted and then the game was just gone for a month and a half

Damn us Texans have some bad luck with lightning...same exact thing happened too me last year!

2 weeks ago a car wiped out a telephone poll at the end of the street and I was down for 2 days!

Hehe, sorry! I chipped a tooth and then had to get it extracted! You can laugh at me

Really, the worst thing to happen to me besides being disconnected in the middle of a bounty/alert/raid (which happens all the time on PS3), was when I was being sexually harassed by some creep when I was still on the USPC server. And then after I put his toon on ignore, he made ANOTHER toon and harassed me from there. Fortunately, he was F2P, so he was only allowed two toons, so I put that one on ignore, too, and he never bothered me again.

You did report the guy right? They can ban his account for things like that.

I normally just stick people on ignore however there was one guy in particular who had been harassing me (he was just farming legends via staying in stealth) and then started sending me, quite frankly, rude and disrespectful messages. Repeatedly too. I took pictures of them and put a support ticket in. Like I said normally I ignore those guys but I was in a bad mood all day so knowing he most likely had action taken against him made it better

Nope, didn't feel the need to. Besides, I'm no longer on PC, so it doesn't affect me at all anymore

If it was something like that though I would have just so someone else didn't have to go through it.

You guys shouldn't let those things bother you. I've had my encounter with a creep but I laugh about it now because it's funny to me. That'll probably go under the funniest thing that's ever happen to me while playing DCUO, because zero craps are given about it now

I've had some very bad past experiences with creeps and perverts, so I kind of have a difficult time taking things like that lightly.

I considered reporting him, but I figured that if he still wouldn't leave me alone after blocking him the first two times, then I would do something about it. Plus, I just really hate getting authority figures (in this case, the DCUO mods) involved. It makes me feel pretty helpless when I have to count on them to fix my problems. But, anyway, it's over now, so it's not my problem anymore.

As a fellow Texan I guess I am missing out on all the bad luck. Haven't had any lighting strikes take out my internet yet (knock on wood). lol.

@OP: I would say one of my worst experiences thus far is getting yelled at by a bunch of T5 dpses in Veng. I was trolling and just barely hit T4 and was struggling to keep 4 T5 dpses bars full (they were emptying their bars almost immediately). They lit into me like crazy, started yelling and telling me I was a horrible troll. Took me a while after that before I started trolling again. They nearly had me in tears. Even the T5 troller they had with them had high enough PoT to keep my bar full. I barely even used weapon attacks. I spammed recharge, super charges, and supply drops for the dpses. Haven't trolled for PuGs since.

1. 1st time in a successfully Prime group, hard DC right before we were about to kill the final form.

2. Experiencing 3 league disintegrations.


Everything else has been peachy.

In the middle of finishing a raid, got disconnected and lost progress because my legendary expired

One time my leg fell asleep really really bad


Like really bad, you don't even know

Dcing in Prime was horrible. What sucked the most is that you had to deal with it when it happened. Like for me, I would use let's say Boon of Souls and it would start cooling down. My entire power bar would freeze and right then and there I knew what my fate was.

Ever have your leg fall asleep really bad and you don't even notice it? Then you get up and it's like "Nooooo!"

Salvaged my omac trinket by accident.

Huh, so earlier today someone threatened to report me for hacking, claiming he has video evidence of it. I would really love to see the video lol he lost pretty badly so it might just be sore losing and such.

On my then noobie healer running Arkham, all was well until we reached Poison Ivy. Mid way through the boss fight my mouse just... died. Suddenly I couldn't turn, couldn't use weapon attacks, still trying to keep everyone healed which became annoyingly difficult. Bf caught me yelling at my computer and unplugged it and plugged it into a different socket and miraculously all was well again. At which point I discovered the room was full of those upgraded tree men things and that was what was causing the problems with keeping everyone's health up...

Proceeded cautiously but everything seemed to be working okay after that. But of course it was just waiting for me to get into the final boss fight! Again mid way through the final fight *boom* absolutely dead mouse. Changing socket didn't help this time. Had to heal the whole thing unable to even see the mobs although since I couldn't attack them anyway that was less of an issue than it probably should have been. Used up so many soders due to my complete lack of ability to regen any power but we did scrape through! As we were close to finishing the bf returned with a spare mouse and I was at least able to walk out of the portal...

Ordered a new mouse and didn't log back into DCUO until it had arrived...
