cool stories

This is a thread where you write your most memorable moment in GW maybe it was a time you where a hero, or the time you and your party/guild was massacered, or even your most adrenal moment.

I've had a few. Way back during E34E the game captured me right away on the first mission (which is boring now but wasn't the first time.) We had just discovered the Charr and weren't sure how to get back to warn the wall. The charr caught up and I managed to escape while the rest of my group was getting wiped out. With 5 seconds left, I found the captain and warned him of the invasion. My adrenaline was really pumping and when we won because of that I was pumped.

My first GvG battle with the alphas was really fun. When I managed to take down the guild lord and we won on my first run through against some decent competition I was rather pumped. Of course we got slaughtered by EvE in the next match but the first was fun.

The first time I played the warn the wall quest was great. I was teamed up with three other people I have never played before. All of a sudden this whole hord of Monsters came right at us. We all say RUN!!! and take off, We lost our Monk because he could not run as fast as all of us. We made it back to the wall and saw this really cool cutseen. Thats when I knew I needed this game. The Partys at the end of the BWEs are cool too. I started a ranger section and we all started spinning like madmen.

Since I'm so utterly dependent on having other people to play with, my most memorable moments were definitely ones where I finally realized that I found the guild that I was looking for.

What do they consist of? Being in the Guild Hall with my monk, trying to position her so that she high kicks Scapes in the head as the dance moves to that pretty spin in the air. Then, five minutes later, hearing him yell on guild channel that he's stuck and dying in the middle of the ice-lake. Aww, isn't Cap-Caps simply *adorable?*

Listening to Mercedes and CynicalCrab bantering back and forth, and then realizing that they created characters named "I Am CCs Hero" and "Merc Is My Zero." They even rhyme!!

Watching Moomoo be Snow Ettin bait, times twenty.. and then, all the joking on Vent.

The game is absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful.. but for me, it will always take people to make it home.

Hah! the warn the wall quest had to be a memorable one for me as well, since I was with a group of a bunch of my close buddies from school. I had already scoped out the game and played the wall quest once (this was before you got the helpful hint about only one person having to make it to the wall for everyone to win) and the rest of my friends had no idea what was going on. When the Cinematic popped up, I tried skipping it to gain time but they wouldn't. Then, when I sprinted off and one our elementalist got caught in the onslaught of Charr, the rest of my team turned around and went to save him, yelling "I won't leave you behind!" I kept running, of course, but it was fun to watch their health bars slowly deteriorate as they yelled commands to one another, with the occasional "NO! *insert name here*" when one of them died.

One quest that was memorable, but I didn't have so much fun in, was the quest where you clear the city of Rin. Unfortunately, Prince Rurik was bugged and kept waiting for the dead bodies of my allies I couldn't resurrect. Then he'd run off after we had left him to continue the quest and get himself nearly killed. At the end of it all, we were in so much chaos that I was the only person left, against a boss and a martyr at the end of the map. Rurik wasn't moving, so I knew I would have to battle myself. The problem: the boss was a mesmer, and my life seemed to melt away whenever I got near. I was so excited when I sprinted in and killed the martyr, and managed to sprint out with a mere 13 health left. Then, after slaying the boss, I realized all my friends who were dead had left their computers to watch TV or eat dinner. I had a great dance party alone for my victory
