Facing PREZ with our guild in Halls and not being slaughtered right off, but holding our own through the onslaught.... That or finding out that we went against a rank 9 guild and almost won during the ladder freeze.

Here are a couple from today.

There was a change to the message that tells you how long you've been playing. It now counts the time that your GW client has been running, not the amount of time that you've been on a character. These two pics show that. Imagine my surprise when I saw those :P

The next two weren't from today.

The third pic was from an RA battle...we ended up winning :P

The fourth pic was me duo'ing UW with a guildie SS of mine. You can see me tanking some smites and ~7 coldfires while the SS necro stands in the background killing them. :P

Not exactly amazing, but still pretty surprising.

my most surprising moment lately was finding out that shadow form + dark escape + a -2/+45 in a stance shield can kill you if your shadow arts is below 14

We made it by 1 second!!

Thats my favourite so far lol, gotta try that in AB some time.

My most suprising moment was when my party and I first encountered Maw of the Mountain Heart. I was suprised by not only his size, but that we died so quickly.

When I went to post-Searing Ascalon City. I hadn't read any guides or asked anyone what would happen if I left with Prince Rurik. Also, when I ran around for like 2 hours and ran into a locked gate.

The time in Aspenwood when I killed the Gatekeepers by myself and played a big role in killing Gunther too.

The first time I chased an amber runner through the Green Gate, and when I realized where I was I broke off and ganked one of the Gatekeepers before they took me out...

In Fort Aspenwood while the Kurzicks weren't watching, I managed to kill the juggernaut, the elementalist and the 2 mesmers, then the left gatekeeper, then the right gatekeeper, and finally Gunther, all by myself.
I had enemies trying to kill me from when I was attacking the left gatekeeper.
They must have just got unlucky and had no monks at all, but it was still incredibly satisfying.

Me and a friend also managed to clear the whole of Lornar's Pass on our own recently. Good times

Mine would be:

Exploring the Fissure of Woe until 3 AM, and just before I'm pressing the little cross on the upper-right side of my screen to get some sleep, a Shadow Warrior kindly hands over a 15^50, req 8 Shadow Bow. (The bow I'm still using, must've been using it for over a year by now).

I was in Raisu palace trying to get the mission done at a quiet time of day and having a real problem forming a group. I accepted an invite from a party of 6 Wammos and 1 other ranger, I thought that we had no chance but it was better than standing arround in the outpost so we gave it a go. The party tanked through with no deaths and we got the masters reward

Back near the beginning of Factions, as my Assassin, getting a blind invite in Nahpui Quarter into a party of 4 Assassins, a Rit and 2 healer henchies, and actually finding an intelligent and kickass team. It took more than 40 minutes but noone died XD

I once did Nahpui Quarter in 14 minutes with 6 people, 2 of them error 7'd..
But this was pre-eoe nerf

Also i got a screenshot of my first sand wurm.

Excuse the extremely crap skill-bar, but i was a newbie back then
I think i was heading to dunes of despair.

1) My first experience of HA. I and 5 of my PvE friends made a balanced team heading for HA for fun. We took Mo and R henchies and went in. Our 1st match was against a Ranger Spike team from a rated Guild. We won flawless in under 3 minutes. Everone went "What happened?". In the next match we got defeated after about 30 min. That one single fame is still the only one I got (not that I tried much to get more).

2) My first try on Hell's. We got creamed by the sparks and our major damage dealers, two W/Mo and one Fire Ele left the party. We thought of giving up but continued, N-battery, Me, R and the two hench monks. We took it slow and careful and finished it without problems.

3) My first vist in UW. No one had been there before or had any idea of what was waiting. Instant carnage.

4) I (N/Mo) got invited to party of 7 W/Mo at Ring of Fire. I got a bit confused and asked if they had any special tactic. Got the answer "We run!". They surely did, agroed everything at sight and run away in all directions. Party wipeout in less than 30s. I still have no clue why they wanted a N/Mo.

These are the most fall-off-my-chair moments I've had so far:

After listening to my partner moan and moan about how it was worse than THK, getting Master's on my first ever try at Vizunah Square (with a random PUG, too!).

Two black dyes in two Eastern Frontier-to-Surmia candycane farming runs during the Wintersday event. Dropped from the same Grawl in the same place.

Each time I've gone to cap in Mineral Springs, the boss I want has always been at the first spawn point.

A lvl 2 Mantid Drone dropping me a chunk of Amber out in Sunqua vale.

I think it was a glitch cos everytime i killed one another popped up until i left the area. might have been a good farming spot if not for henchies

After almost a year of playing and never having gotten one, I finally got a sup absorb. I was so excited.......until I found out it wasn't worth what it once was. I wanted to cry.
