Best: Many, but probably my first trip through Hell's, 2W and Ele left early, the rest me (N blood/battery), a mesmer and a ranger + 2 hench monks finished the mission.

Worst: For 4 days trying to find the entrance to the Northern Wall mission (I was sure it was found "outside" Ascalon town). Then doing the mission 7 times to get the bonus, since one of the henches always seemed to take one of the armour pieces.

Depends, if you take feelings at the time, probably my first HoH win felt the best. A greater achievement was beating WM in GvG, but it never quite felt as good.

Best:
-Beating THK with Henches after 7 times with PUGS (says much, no?)
-Playing the factions preview event, and enjoying that new screen and title theme.
-Getting my girlfriend into GW : D
-And getting my first set of FoW for me war.

Worst:
-Losing THK with PUG groups 7 times in a row.
-Losing Surivor title at Lvl 19 and 79% for my Sin!
-An er7 in FoW when I was to get my first set of Obsidian, then er7ing after we killed the Seeds up Corruption : \. It actually was more than an er7: I didn't have an internet connection for the rest of the night.
More of a "couldn't have happened at a worst time" things, I guess.
-Oh, and numerous er7's in the Deep, and at more than halfway through it.

hmmm lets see... many of each but probably:

Greatest - when I finally beat Bonfazz Burntfur (think thats the guy) in the final Beta event... me and the boyfriend musta tried that a good 5 times, each time waiting til we were at 60dp before going back to Piken to try again. I swear they made it easier upon release lol

Worst - when my boyfriend joined the "omg only 20 lvls, this sucks" mentality and stopped playing

I opened the Zaishen chest and got an Everlasting Automatonic. My guildmate and myself are now comfortably welloff as we each already had about 250k.

I just remembered that last week I beat Glint in the Crystal Desert with my newly ascended necro. She doesn't have any special PvE skills, just a normal Prophecies skillbar. She did it with heroes/henchman and I was very proud of her performance.

(That's what comes of reading the OP - makes you think)

Two tie for the best: Having a purple crystalline drop for me in fow chest that spawns after beating the guy in the tower, not the end chest this was at least a year ago.
Second moment was finally beating eternal grove in hm and getting eternal guardian of cantha.

Worst moment: Having a gold phoenix blade drop for me in cantha with perfect mods, worth quite a bit, and having my roommate/"friend" sell it for me and then he stabbing me in the back and taking all the money for himself.
Showed me how a game can sometimes bring out the worst in people, or just let them show their true colors.

Defeating Glint in HM with an Ele, 5 Warriors, a Rit and a Monk.
For those who can be bothered to read, I'll let the words of an ex-guildie explain...

The Battle Against Glint

This evening, an amazing event took place. Eight brave, and possibly stupid, heroes took on a most challenging quest! They decided to defeat Glint the Dragon and her Facets in all their powerful, insane, and hard glory! Young Loden, a powerful Elementalist, gathered with Dremner and Morwyn, two renown Warriors, at the face of Glint's cavern, which in all actuality was inside tiny grain of crystal sand.

They waited for quite some time for more brave heroes. It took much announcing, begging, and perhaps even bribery to gather the other five. Auyil, another famed Warrior, arrived and soon after came the amazing Ritualist Azhure Seer, affectionately known as Az. Then, in a stunning appearance, appeared Anna the Great! (the one with the fan club) and her bot Scorp. All were relieve that Anna could make it. Then in a sudden turn of events, Nia the wonderful Monk also arrived. And so the stage was set.

After a long boring time of setting up skills and equipment, the heroes ventured into the Lair! But alas! Morwyn had forgotten something outside, and so the team had to retreat. They were soon back in and rushing through! Nothing could stand in their way! All met their doom before the brave heroes!

After defeating 6 Glint's Facets, with only minor casualties, they arrived at Glint herself. Glint was in no mood to fight them and created a portal for the heroes to leave by. But after all they had faced, they refused to leave. So to enrage Glint into fighting, Anna came up with a brilliant scheme! She grabbed one of Glint's precious dragon eggs!

Glint immediately turned hostile and and began to attack. Loden did his best to keep Glint blind so her awesome power would be doing less damage to the heroes and more to her own lair. The Warriors charged and Nia and Az did their very best to keep them all alive, but in a single fell swoop they were all defeated. After Az also died, Loden ran in front of Glint and tried to keep her attention while Nia revived her fallen comrades. Sadly, Loden met his end also. Glint, in all her vain glory, turned her back to Nia, thinking Nia could do nothing. But Nia silently revive the heroes, and they regrouped for round two.

Az dug into her Magic Moodle Pack and used special items to give the heroes a boost in their own power. After all energy had returned, Az summoned her spirits, Loden blinded Glint and the Warriors charged once more. It was an amazing battle, and in a blaze of glory Glint fell at the heroes feet! To spite her, an egg was carried in front of her body and the heroes snapped a picture, to remember their amazing victory!

The heroes wearily left the Lair, and one by one parted. But they shall never forget that amazing battle, and now that I have shared it, neither shall you.

Probably beating Clan Detained after losing for the first 10 minutes of the game. Splitting off solo I managed to pull off 2 people so our main team could push real hard while they were in our base. Our mesmers then gale locked their monks to exaustion while they retreated over the vine bridge and it was right after timer as well.

I chose that moment because it was in my first competitive guild and probably the best match we had in it.

1 Completing Gate of Madness for the first time on my necro, with only NF skills. got kicked out numerous groups because i didnt have ss or sv.
2 Completing NF for the first time, one of the best feelings ive had in GW. No joke, i typed: Thnx Anet for this wonderful game, in all chat, in Throne Of Secrets.
3 Getting my first Elite set (ancient ele male). From the first day i played GW, i always thought that was the best looking armor.
4. Getting my first green drop (tundoss shortbow) on the first try, with a full hench party. After that i thought greens always dropped if you killed the boss (newb time ftw)

The good:
- All the times I've ran ToPK with my guildies - especially when our MM was drunk IRL. Great times
- Having GANK resign to us in HA. Was rewarding in a weird way.
- Winning halls for the first time.

The bad:
- Merching a 14% unconditional bow. *shudder*.
- Failing UW as an Ursan team... at the very first 2 aatxes. I dunno WTF was up with my team, but for ursans to fail at that... had to be pretty damn horrible

Did the monks mistakenly run ursan blessing too?

Best: Too numerous to count.
GW has been a great experience, and although the content and playabillity has taken a turn for the worse, it's to be expected. The game is old and its developers are moving on to the next project.
Though I still find myself logging on if not to just sit in temple of balth and spam or chat with old friends.

best Moment
was just a few weeks ago, when I finally after 3 freaking years of playing got my first set of 15k armor. My warrior has never looked so damn sexy

Also, getting Tyrian Protector, im pretty proud of that, considering I did the majority of the missions in one sleepless night.


Worst Moment

Was in UW a couple days ago, an ecto dropped and my heart skipped a beat, im poor as hell so its amazing for that to drop, and I got killed before I could pick it up

Beating some top 20 guild in HA with a PUG was fun as hell, but then, they were probably just fooling around around. They were running SF spike and we had something pressure-ish with shockaxes.

Honesty obliges me to say that we got mauled by a S-way team in the match after that :P but I never pretended to be any good at HA .

greatest moment: one of them for me was the first time beating props....we had just got to the fight w rurik when one of our monks left....after rurik the second monk left.....the fight w the lich was pretty intense w/o any healers....at one point my wammo was last man standing.....anywho, kind of felt a feeling of accomplishment after that fight.'

buying my mini naga was another for sure.

when i told lazy they could go to hell in a hand basket before i left the alliance.

those prolly round out my top 3.

worst moment: disbanding the tong

I was on my first toon, a level 12 warrior, and I joined a pug to do "Establish the Luxon Settlement" where you had to defeat Smuush Fatfist. It took my party 5 minutes to beat him down and I was able to use my Capture Signet for the very first time to get my first elite "Backbreaker". I kept that elite on my bar until I finished Prophecies. I loved knocking foes down!

I went looking for that quest on a second toon a month later and found out that they had removed it. Turns out I was lucky to get it when I did, it was removed the weekend after I had capped it...
