My on-going goal for my necro has been to
1. Finish every mission in HM, plus
2. VQ every area in HM, plus
3. Finish UW, FoW, Sorrow's Furnace, Ruins of the Tombs, Deep, Urgoz, DoA, and BLA in HM.

Unfortunately, I did NM the first time through BLA with my necro, and didn't get around to doing it HM before they nerfed it to being easy. At least my ranger got it done in pre-nerf HM; I'll count that for completion because it's the closest I can get now.

Waiting for Winds of Change to bring a new challenge.

"You mean there's more?"
Clear the campaign your character is from using only the primary and secondary skills given by the instructors and the starter weapon/armor. (If using heroes, you can only use their initial default skills and weapons)

"I can see clearly now!"
Play with the UI hidden.

"This is child's play"
Finish the final mission of any campaign with no deaths but under level 20.

Yeah but I mean to say that things that HAVE to be done BEFORE you LEAVE the game. I mean, accomplishments are cool and all, but there are some aspects of the game that one must absolutely experience before leaving the game.

THAT was the original purpose of this thread; we seem just to be adding random accomplishments for what we've done- but we need to consider that this thread is for revealing GW for what it's worth- the first, surprising things we ever encountered.

Please possess some form of disbelief.
I know you can all have great skills and all, but this list is the MUST DO for those who simply want to have fun with GW before moving on ;P

That being said, ONLY the last two I mentioned were really worth anything.
MOST people don't beat Unwaking Waters in the first section of the Whirlpool their first go around.
Sorrow's Furnace IMO is now the most-ignored dungeon in the game. But in all reality- it is and was the only original dungeon in the game- as it hasn't utilized ANet's Copy/Paste technology in it (for obvious reasons).

I thought of that one before, which was why I named my mesmer "Uchiha ..." 5 years ago.

Unfortunately without using skills like Signet of Illusions, you probably wont be doing it 'better'.

My addition:

'The Traveler'
Have all towns and outposts, for all campaigns, in your maps for all your PvE characters.

- Done on all 16 of my PvE characters.

"Derp!"
Kill yourself.
(You can do that with health sacrifice if you want, it's easy to do, but... you'll look pretty stupid for doing this on purpose.)

"Tide turner"
In a party of 8, resurrect all other party members while there are 8 enemies within earshot, and defeat those 8 enemies without anyone dying again during the rest of the fight.

our guild has a bucketlist thread we like to fiddle with
http://www.relicsoforr.com/?p=864

we've also done things like Booty-FOW (a naked FOW run with no armor, no cons of any kind, i died a lot, lol), WAMMOFOW a FOW run with 8 man party with all warriors. We've also done the all warrior team in THK and Dragon's Lair for lolz. I know we've done more but thats all i got atm I love lists like these cuz they are good times. Keep up the imagination!

I'm planning on doing this with my mesmer as soon as I finish LDoA (lvl 19/98% at the moment, just missed the festival). No heroes/higher armor allowed until I would naturally receive them.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Fondest mission memories are this.
I remember being a new player in 05, and my pug team and I for some reason not being able to outrun the bastards. So I told them all I'd stay back and fight them...
I went out in style.

Came back a month after Factions release with an assassin and killed them all, no mercy.

I'd say go from one end of the map in GvG to another with shadow of haste and cancel it...but you can't do that anymore. Those were the days.
That was seriously funny! I think I might do that just to try it out later!

I have done these:

3) Kill someone in the Hall of Heros
4) Win a random arena match while your character is drunk without disabling post processing effects (Never dip below lvl 3 drunk).
6) Have a killer dance party with Abbadon.
8) Interrupt a 1/4 cast time skill on an NPC with a non pasive interrupt (e.g. don't use shame, mistrust, clumsiness, etc).
9) Kill the entire invading char army in The Great Northern Wall mission solo.

12) Power Block a Power Attack or Power Shot.
Powerblock affects spells, not attack skills.

5) Use every skill in the game at least once.
I have come close, because I enjoy watching people rage losing to stupid synergies (and over a time period of 5+ years). However, I refuse to ever equip such a skill as Withdraw Hexes.

My addition would be carrying dshot on every class. I don't think I've done this on paragon, dervish, or assassin, but it would be hilarious.

A couple players in my guild have purposely catapulted our entire team in GvG. Also, once the opposing team tried to cata us and we pulled out, with their team still in cata zone. It was hilarious.

Should have obs'd it and made a youtube video called "Catapult Antics" with Surfing Bird music.
