Well I had some very good times with this game and hate to post a negative thread like this but since I am bored here it goes anyway. My worst memory of this game is when I made a 55 Monk and wasted so much money into him only to have him get nerfed the following day when they kinda ruined it with the AOE aggro nerf. Dont get me wrong I have since used the 55 monk build many times over since its one of my favorite things to do in GW but to have it get nerfed like that the NEXT day that I created it was very dissapointing. Any other horror stories that you people have and would want to share plz do so here.

When they made HA 6v6 followed closely by when they changed the objective of halls.

Hey wouldn't it be ironic if somebody finds out an 8 man dervish team would pwn DoA.

I seen stranger things happen in this game.

Me when I was first starting and had extra gold:
"I know! I want to dye my monks drok armor black!" *buys 5 black dyes and dyes the armor black"
"...ewww... it looks bad black =\" *procceeds to re-dye it purple over the black*

Me first starting out:
"OH SNAP! Superior Vigor Runes give you +50 health! Hmmm... 5x50= +250 extra health =D! That would make me so hard to kill! I can't believe the rest of the n00bs who play GW haven't figured this out yet *grin*"
*procceeds to save up 150k to buy 5 sup vigor runes*
*Goes to alliance chat and says: "WTH? I put 5 Sup. Runes on my armor and my health only went up by 50"
*Guild Leader kicks me out the guild for embarassing her in alliance chat by asking that question*
*attempts to salvage the sup runes off; manages to get 2/5*
Me: . . . . . -_- . . . . .

Me in FoW a long time ago:
"Haha! Finally got enough ectos to get my ele FoW armor... hmmm... the choices the choices... BattleMage Armor sounds kick---!" *Procceeds to buy battlemage armor*

Me more recently:
"Hmmm... I'm tired of my ele's FoW being purple... I want a more hard-core color... I know, Black!" *procceeds to dye armor black*
"........ $@#% it's still purple... WTH IS UP WITH ME AND PURPLE?!"
*Female character walks up to me and says: Why did you dye your FoW purple, you should dye it black, that would be kick---"*
Me: . . . . . . -_- . . . . .

Me in a more recent GvG:
*Monk dies while I'm getting a flag back at our base*
Me: WTH happened? Why is it taking so long to res her?!
Team: usdgfszngonigsnzgiknkglnkdsngknds;kgnl.nvksvsd
Me: Shut Up and Tell me what happened!
Team: *silence*
Me: I'm not making sense again, am I...?
Team: lol



Enjoy my former n00bness, I know I did.

I don't have any really bad moments play wise. Worst moment though would have to be a guild I was in breaking up. We were all good friends at one point and things fell apart and we went separate ways. I found that to suck much more than the rest of my game experience.

When they changed HA altar objectives. Definitely the most disappointed I've been with Guild Wars. I could see at least some positives from heroes and 6v6, but the new objectives have no redeeming qualities.

When I opened a Maguuma chest and out popped a Crystalline, maxed, and gold, with only a 14% vs. Hexed mod on it.

I thought it was a shit drop, so I merchanted it. I had no friggin' clue how lucky I was. Merchant buyback, pls.

And yes, I know that the first post of this thread is about farming, but...Let's head in a different direction, shall we?

There is a difference between a tank and a damage dealer. Most warriors that you run into during PvE try to play part tank/part dmg. However, for DoA, the enemies output so much damage that it is necessary for the frontline character to go full tank (as shown in the link), and so speccing in things such as scythe mastery would only decrease the usefulness of the tank since it's only purpose is to take all the damage for the team, while the others kill the enemies.

the doa stunt

edit: actually, worse than that was the crap they pulled with locking Factions CE buyers out of the game for a week because they delayed shipping them and wouldn't allow us access. That still burns me......

Over a year ago my dorm was in the process of laying down new Ethernet cables and having wireless put in, so all we had was temporary (i.e. crappy) wireless. My party was doing the Borlis Pass mission, and I lagged out right as the last beacon was being lit (this after multiple drops earlier in the mission). I think I ended up getting a run to the next mission because I was so angry.

I can see why you would 55-farm. I can't see how you can possibly enjoy it.

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from party support and just plow through an uncomplicated set of mobs. Also, it can be very gratifying to see the gold and skill points rack up steadily.

Speaking of 55, that reminds me of my worst GW moment - the day I got my first -50 HP cesta from the CoA quest (and I knew what it was worth, and that was a lot of money to me at the time) and sold it to the merchant. >_<

Danikas line halfway through Arborstone (Lyssa be damned! I didn't see that one coming!). So, so, so horrible. Nothing can compare to hearing that line.

Playing in full teams can get boring after a while. Being able to solo gives me a sense of accomplishment. Like owning UW with you and just 1 more character is fun but to do it over and over again can make it boring. Just like soloing FOW with your Necro, Warrior, Ranger....ect provides something different in terms of gameplay that cant be felt with a full party.

Since holding builds really weren't a problem in non-build wars HA (8v8), and only were a problem in 6v6 before the paragon nerf, there was no reason to destroy the arena over a few people who blamed builds when they could not cap an altar.

I am not going to continue this argument past this statement here: That is the most absurd thing I have ever read on these forums.

8v8 had guilds hold.. for hours... HOURS... HOURS. How can anyone claim that it was not true in 8v8? Your common RC/WoH/SBInfuse backline kept your ghost completely immune from takedown. I just can't believe this was said, this is completely untrue. 6v6 took a step in the door, and I STILL appreciate it, I do not agree with the kill count method or some of the AB battles in HoH yet it is IMO way more healthy now then it was before, and Anet agrees. Drop this topic.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL, are you a noob? Seriously this is the funniest thing I've heard written ever, did you bash on the ghost for the full 4 minutes of the match and then QQ about the amazing overpowered ability of healing seed? This post is hilarious, I really suggest you delete it to avoid yourself embarrasment. You like the changes to halls because it was impossible to kill a ghost, lollololololol, I suggest you suck less and l2p before you QQ about things you clearly do not understand.

Wow, Randomway. Let's not turn this into a 8v8 vs 6v6 thread but tell me, why do you want 8v8 back? (oh and what the hell do you mean when you say "while it is obvious that anet is working on things that are less important."? you obviously mean things less important to you, right?)

Anyway, on topic: The day I found out they nerfed solo farm with Prot Bond has got to be the worst followed by the day I saw alot of people start using QQ lol

EDIT: Also I didn't like the update that they put in Rare mat/Rune traders
