This doesnt belong in this forum...but I'll post anyways...

Hmmm best moment was when I left pre searing. I stayed there so long I didnt know it was a tutorial, so I felt cool when I left .

Worst was when it took me 7 times to beat Bloodstone Fen.

Then use some imagination. What do you think someone's "Greatest GW moment" should be, and what would it take to get there?

Mine: defeating an elite pve instance where the devs throw away the current pve rules (like "mobs can't use res sig") yet don't resort to shortcuts like spawning mobs directly on you and environment effects that affect only your party. It'd be a brutally difficult straight-up fair fight.

The most recent one was getting Master's on Raisu Palace, the very first time I'd ever tried it. My partner had done it on most of his chars, and always complained about how hard it seemed to get Master's (we're not very 'pro', does it show?). I'd seen quite a few posts on here about people's difficulty with it too, so had worked myself up into a huge worry over it, expecting to be stuck there for weeks or something.

As it happened, I found a group almost immediately (I was playing nuker), and we ripped through it in 15 minutes with no deaths. *beams*

Insignificant compared to some of the achievements I'm sure will be posted here I know, but it made my weekend

People, when you say somthing is spam after somebody else has already said that then you have spammed as well. Once its been said it doesn't need to be said again.

Anyway.
I think my best moment would be playing through the desert for the first time and beating all the missions on the first try in 1 day. I had taken a lot of breaks from the game and never had a level 20 then in one day not only did I have a 20 but I had finished the entire desert area.

Not a big deal now but when I first did it I thought it was.

So to make a long story short, you just spammed yourself (like im doing now)

isnt anyone able to speak english anymore in these threads? i know english might not be some peoples first language but sentences like 'this can better be closed' or 'If you do that right it are your 20secs of joy ' are just painful to read.

mini rant aside my first memorable gw moment was also being the first in my guild to kill glint in a 5 man team thanks to grenths balance

Considering I'm a slow money-maker, my greatest moment was when I randomly farmed 2 Black Dyes in 3 minutes. Later that day, 2 Globs of Ectoplasm dropped for me. It was, indeed, a glorious Sunday.

Whats the problem when you know what (s)he mean? As long as the person isnt using leet-speak, then its fine because they are doing their best. English aint my first language either, and it is quite annoying when people say i suck at it.

My greatest moment must've been when i created my Ranger(When i bought GW :P) or when i won HoH.

I'd have to say my first time I beat THK with a PUG. This was wayyyyy back when the game was just a week or two old, and none of us really knew about what a balanced team was, aggro control, builds...all the things we all take for granted now.

Noone had greens (there were no greens), we just had whatever was the best thing that dropped for each of us, everyone's armor was a mish mash of collector stuff, and noone was rich enough to get a mere suit of 1.5k droks armor.

It took me about 3 days to get a PUG that finished this, and everyone else was in the same situation. After we beat it was just had a giant long self-congratulatory session and thought how awesome that defending the fort challenge was. Back then, the game was thrilling, undiscovered, mysterious, and new. Learning on the fly, with no faqs, set builds, guides, etc.

My four greatest moments is when I got a perfect Sundering Celestial Sword of Fortitude +30 in Nahpui (sp?), got a Sundering Zodiac Longbow of Fortitude +30 in Urgoz, when I got offered me 150k and 25 ectos for my Mini-Pet Shiro (guess he wanted it badly) and when I got my first IDS.

My great deceptions: Having salvaged 21 crummy wood planks from a Hammer of Fortitude +30 and when 2 ectos and 1 black dye fell for me in Tombs after killing a mob. Yes, it's a deception because I got d/c (err.7) before getting my hands on the three items.

Hrm..

Completing Thunderhead Keep mission with a party consisting of only me and two other guildmates.

Beating Arborstone in 11 minutes. :x

Finally getting the last piece of my Necro's FoW set after a two week ordeal. (It took 4 trips into the FoW and a switch to the European server for the last piece. :x)

Winning HoH once with a Minion Factory team back in the day.

The day Cait invited me to my current guild, and then discovering my best in-game friend was being invited shortly after. (<3 Pinkie :x)

There's lots of others, but those are some of the most memorable. ^^

Being a monk and henching all of Prophecies with a ranger guildmate. Not too difficult, but it's probably the only accomplishment I've made in game.

Selling a wrapping of death magic for 100K + 10 ectos.

Trading an axe mastery + 1 (20%) upgrade for an IDS and an ecto. Really wanted an IDS but the drop rate sucked.

Completing missions is fun but stuff like this is strawberry icing.

Hmm... I have two pretty big moments.

PVE: Being in the group that Beat The Deep for the first time ever. Seeing how nobody did it before our alliance we had no strategy tips on any site and had to do some massive teamwork and had to learn how to adapt quickly. Apparently a couple beta testers contacted our leader and said they couldn't beat it. So that made it all the more rewarding.

PVP: Getting a flawless Victory in Hall of Heros. We even lost a teammate and got stuck with a henchie.

Honorable Mention: Getting FoW armor for my Monk within my first month of playing GW's.

Got a few.

When I got my Jade axe. (I collect perfect/high end/Green/Rare axes) It was the final axe I needed to own every axe from factions with good mods as well as every green axe from both games.

Convincing my buddy from our ARMY unit to play GW with me and join the guild.

Taking over ownership of HZH every time.

Playing for 16 hours strait one day and never getting bored.

My Greatest Moment:

Getting a random pug team together for FoW and got my mesmer her gorgeous armour. The journey to the Forgemaster was pretty flawless, with only a couple of deaths - great teamwork from all players especially from those who were in FoW for their first time. My mesmer wears the armour with pride knowing how much time and effort was spent farming for the ectos and shards.


My Worst Moment:

My mesmer took a full team of henchmen into ToPK. Slowly and carefully got to level 3 where I decided to take a quick break. Upon continuing, I got killed encountering the first mob on the level, and then painfully watched the henchmen die one-by-one. Alot time spent carefully planning and guiding the hench team through, only for the hard work to end in a momentary laspe of concentration.

Good moment:

In random arena, enemy party had 3 players alive (2 warriors, 1 assassin), we had only 2 (ranger and me elementalist) and they were about to wipe us but from some reason they stepped our ranger's traps and continued to attack him in ball formation instead me. They got the ranger but I used echo Star Burst, Inferno and Flame Burst quickly (they had about half health and some degen). Warrior used healing signet just when I was about to trigger another Star Burst and he died before assassin and other warrior. Two remaining players (barely had hp) started to run, they still had bleeding so I used wand twice to warrior and once to assassin. Both died.

Bad moment:

Someone was AFK at Fort Aspenwood and everyone just quitted. Even the AFKer left. That was stupid.
