I know GW is not survival horror type of game but anyway, what was the scarriest moment for You in GW?

For me i always shaking pants when i aggroed Atxee in UW farming solo, and heard his scarry sound and fel his breath on my back running away like hell.

Another thing was when I first time was in the Gloom - it was dark everwhere and I thought I would never get out of there!

You guys will think I'm lame.

Scariest: First time I did The Great Northern Wall. Being, what, about level 6(?) and having next to no experience with this type of game and seeing all those blasted Charr bolting after me...

Not scary but exciting: After a vanquish with a couple guildies, when everything was dead, we ran around looking at the pretty stuff. I think it was a zone in the Shiverpeaks, but I can't remember which one. It was so breathtaking! The scenery in GW might be one of my favorite parts of the game.

A very slight derail, just in case you haven't seen it. Someone posted this in the screenshot forum here a while back. http://bloogum.net/guildwars/index.html

Scariest: Chilling in LA just chatting with friends when Dhumm popped up right next to me to lay down a ban...I knew deep down I hadnt done anything wrong, but still when he shows up everyone around fears the Ban Scythe.

Thrilling: Realizing I was still standing when Dhumm left and the town went nuts with excitment to have seen a ban first hand.

Oh my, it was the same for me!!! I did a mess and I had the charrs's breath on my neck, so for all the run I had my heart beating hard...and in the end I didn't even make it! It was like a horror movie. After that I asked a friend of mine if all the missions were so hard...lol.

Scariest: Back in the days of Prophecies only, a guildmate asking for help on Thunderhead Keep, I always dreaded that. That mission could be a serious roadblock at that time, but I was always willing to help them get through it, even though it was a potential challenge. Then we started using bonding, and our guild groups breezed through it...

Thrilling: This one is hard, because there are so many moments I really liked. Winning HoH for the first time with a warrior knockdown/aftershock build, tanking with the book in FoW when it wasn't about speed clears but exploring the area, or even beating the game for the first time. Lots of good memories

Finishing FoW NM solo with no cons , no heros, no henches, no nothing on a few occasions was the most thrilling.

Viewing a picture of a fat chick i talked to ingame was the scariest.

The way you spelled scary in the thread title

For me the scariest was probably the first time I went out into the Ring of Fire and saw all those creepy Titan Abominations roaming around.

Thrilling is tough, I'd probably list a bunch of thrilling moments:

-First black dye drop
-First elemental sword drop from raptors
-Intentionally farming my first green (totem axe)
-Getting my first everlasting tonic (Automatonic which I think I paid 250e for... ouch...)

Scariest. Leaving Pre for the first time and actually seeing what Seared ascalon looked like, and not wanting to be there.

Thrilling. Beating proph with just Hench, talking to all the npcs at the end, and staying there till all the credits rolled.

Im still sappy about campaign final instances, but that first one was the best.

I usually get excited with interesting updates, specially if they add playable content and new features.

I don't get 'thrilled' or scared easily.
But when I read this: "the Live Team will be shifting much of its focus to support the GW2 team"; I got so scared that I have this song repeating in me head ever since.
Well, after a while it turned into this.

It' not that much of a problem. I like those songs. But it gets a little annoying when I try to listen to something else.

Back in HA's golden days I did a lot of pug groups. One night I put together a team and made it to the HOH and held it for a few consecutive wins. Good guilds held it all the time, but for me and my little pug this was pretty thrilling.

I haven't done real PVP in ages now

Scariest - I'm copying Lasai... first time I left pre-searing (and I'd been there for weeks, was level 12), I seriously almost quit playing. I was horrified.

Thrilling - finally getting Survivor this past weekend by capping skills, farming wurms for a bit & turning in my story books (which took care of the last 220k).

Thrilling - six years ago, logging-in to GW for the first time! GW was the first on-line multi-player game that I had ever played, and I had no idea what to expect. It didn't disappoint

Scariest - I could say it was seeing the number of hours I have played over the past six years when I did /age a few days ago, but it was probably something that happened in the desert when I first started. I used to play with the camera zoomed-in to see my character close-up. There was this thumping sound coming closer, my character fell over, and a huge worm filled my screen!

I had no idea that the worms in pre-searing came in larger sizes, and I had managed to get through the Northern Shiverpeaks without seeing a worm there.

Scariest 1: Watching my laptop stutter and jump a couple degrees the first time I balled all 60 vaettirs and hit nuked 'em. I thought my comp died.

Most Thrilling: Completing my first FOWSC 1 month after coming back from a 4-5 year break. What a fun run. (Factions wasn't even around when I first left.

)

No. First place for "Most Thrilling" and "Scariest" go to my first foray into Underworld with my Rit. Noob SOS vs Aatxe, then 2 Aatxe, then skele... that was nuts. Then my first ecto drop? Man. Good times.

Second place came a few days ago: Soloing destroyers in Lv2 of Destruction's Depths when my guildies/allies went and aggro'd... everything. Same Rit, same rush of being so close to death, same happy dance at the end. Alliance lesson of the day: aggro control.

Damn yes, one of the most thrilling thing was when i went into UW with my old 55hp monk build and from first two atxes I've got my very frist two ecto. It was so kicking ass moment. At next group I popped nightmare and get wiped with one hit form atxe ;D

Scariest: This happens daily when I witness the general level of written English from those that claim to speak it as their first language. The future is bleak.

Thrilling: The first time I completed a fast-paced clear of DoA. No records were broken, but it was a personal best.

Scariest: My first time 55 farming. I had spent all my money on capping the elite(SS at the time, didn't use SV until HM came to be) and getting the armor(full Scar Pattern dyed red with max energy insignias) and so I HAD to make money. I died many times but much of what I have(7 elite armor sets, Tormented Shield, Oppressor Shield and Spear, countless minis, and hero armor remnants) was gained from 55 farming.

Thrilling: Beating Villainy for the first time and seeing the Wizards Tower. Of course I was quickly disappointed because I couldn't go inside. *lol* There's always GW2 for that.

Thrilling: One of the very few times our pretty much PvE only guild made it to the Hall of Heroes.

It was a 3 team relic run and the other 2 teams were [GWEN] and [CCCP], both high level guilds that won HoH a lot in those days. Well we knew we didn't stand a chance against teams that actually knew what they were doing and we were too busy Whooping it up on Alliance chat that we made it to HoH anyways. We were the ultimate HA noobs.

However when the match started, our leader said just run start running relics and we'll do our best. We ran relics. Boy did we run relics. About 2 minutes later we're looking at the score and it's 10-0-0 our favor. On top of that, we didn't see any enemy players. Huh? Did it glitch? Whats going on? Anyways we kept running relics. Finally at about 20-0-0 we decided to figure out what was wrong. We found the enemy teams. Blue and Red were all piled into Red's base whomping on each other.

Those guys had seen the match up and knew who their competition was. They went after each other with a fury and decided to ignore the poor little noobs in the corner. Those poor little noobs though were furiously running relics like it was the end of the world.

When the score reached 24-0-0, they finally saw what was happening and started running relics themselves but it was too late. They win halls all the time. I think to them it was more fun to beat up on each other for bragging rights than to actually win that match.

It was fun though to brag to our alliance for the next year that we beat [GWEN] and [CCCP] in Halls.

Even if it wasn't thru any skill of our own.

Something similar to this. You see, when I first left presearing, it was on an E/R (Yes, that kind of E/R >.>), and I had somehow found my way to the first mission after wandering around Ascalon for a bit, plopping myself in the first guild that asked, and getting killed a few times. I eventually found out about henchmen, and got killed slightly less often. Anyway, I made my way to GNW, and someone happened to mention to me that if your party wipes in a mish, that's it, and you don't rez. I, being ever the optimist, thought that meant permanently (as in, your party dies in GNW and you have to delete that char and start again). Yes, hindsight is 20/20, and it was pretty stupid, but starting that mish for the first time, knowing how often me and the dirt seemed to meet eachother, was... rather frightening.

Had many scary moments when it was about losing a battle, losing a title and stuff like that.

most thrilling moment for me was:
Farming those suicide Hopping Vampires in the beginning of urgoz years ago (before they got nerfed) and getting like 3-5 Zodiac Drops in 1-2minute runs, when r9 15^50 zodiac weapons were worth ~100k/ea....
It was like soooo easy money and only soooo few people knew about that farm untill short before it got nerfed :P
I was really really excited about the drops every run!

When my Guild (at the time) let me accompany them on FoW hm. I was new to FoW and so scared, I didn't know what I was doing and didn't want to let them down. My heart was thudding so fast the whole time
