I remember in Heroes ascend we were a group of mainly PUGs and we got to face another group of fairly well known rank 9 type guys. Anyway we had 4 monks and 4 warriors (stupid, stupid build and annoys the hell out of everyone because you just can't die and 9/10 times you win by default from quitters on the other team) and we kept it at a stalemate. After like over 30 minutes of fighting the leaders in both teams decided to roll a dice and the highest would win the match. Our leader rolled 3 on 100 and the other one rolled something else, let's say 25 of 100. So we all left

We were left with an Ele and something, they had a Mesmer and a Boon Prot. Guess who won.
It was an ele and Necro.

It was a pretty funny match too

1. HA. Balanced (us, SoF) vs EoE

Played the warrior on a rare occasion, and killed the EoE asap. The funny thing is they kept saccing themselves still after the EoE was killed. GG Flawless.

2. GvG. SoF vs ....?

we're winning the match. VoD strikes. err 7 for 7 of our players, as well as 6 of them. Our remaining warrior hid a bit, and they left thankfully leaving the victory to us.

most amusing for me was in team arena with 3 guildies. i was ele and we had a monk another el and a warrior. we came up against a party of 3 monks and a warrior. the other ele and the warrior started beating on their monks who just kept healing each other while their warrior chased our monk in circles.. or at least he tried to. i was running a lot of warrior hate in my build so i just kept dumping him on his arse with gale blinding him with flash and generally irritating the hellout of him. this went on for like half an hour before we finally wore them down and scored a flawless victory

I remember my first GvG - with henchies!! Our leader (from a previous guild) forced us to GvG (by spamming the chat, of course) and took 4 henchies!!

It would be a total-noobie story for the fact that we steamrolled (and I mean that) the opposing team. Being a noob myself, I took fire build to play and actually wiped half the team out with nuke combos....I still lmao when I think of it...oh god...oh god...*falls from chair and spills the cofee all over...*...mwahahaha !

It was a total newbie fight (newbie civil war), and it was funny as hell...

The less funny part is, they tried to do it again (I dropped) with henchies and got some bad spanking.

Ok this happened last night and some of my guildies are still laughing about it so


We go into GvG, everything seems normal (cap flag stand, kill all the enemy npcs near the flag stand) then we notice that the enemy guild never left their base -_-;

We continue on like repairing the cata, head inside and noticed that the enemy guild was running........a minion factory build and camping their guild lord -_-;; There was soo many minions that I'd lag (literally freeze for a min) just getting within viewing distance of the guild lord. They tried egging us on in trying to just suicide charge them but we decided to wait for them to come out and cata them.

When they did finally come out, 1 direct hit from the catapult killed all their minions and pretty much all of their minion masters too! We finished off whoever was still alive and kill the guild lord finally. -_-;

We hit a MF build in GvG back when I was in IDK. Strangely enough we were running a smite build, with two copies of Balths Aura. Balthed up the warriors, protted them, and just ran them into the mass of minions. Most amusing.

Howsabout this:

Me, fresh off a Beacons Perch--Droks run, enter Random Arenas, and immediately "Enter Mission" (anyone see the problem yet?)

I open into the arena, with a team, and the conversation goes something like this:

Me: "Hi"
Everyone Else: "Hi"
Me: "What's the Strategy?"
Me again: "Oh *crap*" *actual saying deleted*
Me again: "I forgot to change off my running skills!"
Everyone Else: "LOL"

One player with NOTHING but running skills, and three others. Against a full team, including a Gale Warrior, Mesmer, Monk, etc.

I ran around doing nothing, basically, but the idiot Gale warrior CHASED me, and my other team members managed to pwn out their monk and mesmer. We won. I then quit, just so it would be fair

ah, my first hoh win!!!
It a very long time ago with my guild. We were all pretty much noob then, playing old-school dual smite with e/mos and we got a skip to halls. The holding team was some hex degen that held for a few hours, there were people from 'famous' guilds there like EW. Anway, the holding team rushed us and we got wiped after something like 2 min. We got shrine ressed and spawn killed, and again. When we all had something like 45% dp they left us alone and fought the other team. At 2 min we ressed and just started running aimlessly towards the altar (I remember myself getting lost in all those staircases) and guess what, we got our share of luck for the day and won. I can still remember all the OMG NOOB YELLOWS WON WTF spams, and ofc our monk saying "we won because I healing breezed the ghostly in time".
I personally got a sigil which I still have :P
Match after we were holding against AeC and LOVE, and got wtfpwned.

I think this was back in August, we were playing Kinetic Fusion on Imperial Isle.

Both teams came out to center and engaged, suddenly people on my team started freezing up. One by one it happened to all of us. But we noticed that the other team was dcing as well. Everyone gets booted from the game from an err7 on both teams. We logged back in to find we had won because our paragon had not yet error'd out by the time the rest of their team had left the game.

I'm not sure if this is the reason our para was the last, but he has a terrible connection. So perhaps it just took longer for the game to register that he was gone. Anyway, if so bad connection saves the day.

omg. i saw art post on the front page and i thought he was back or something.

anyway, the strangest game would be the one where some guild had to vs a guild of 12 because they mapped from urgoz or something. i've got a pic but i don't know where it is.

the 12-man GvG's were possible yes, i think Bomberboys Orks did it on observer :P was fixed fast though.


Funniest thing lately was facing Brothers of Kurzick Metal [SiSu] in a final AT round some months ago. Then ran 7 touchers and a water ele but we knew that and had some minutes to build against it. Result :

3 heal monks at base with life attunement, straight healing and resses.

4 warriors and 1 monk racing for their lord.

We won the gankrace, finished in 2ish minutes, they never even managed to kill our bodyguard We won the AT ^^

Back in Prophecies we played an AoE spike build in Halls. In a 1v1 Courtyard match we started our spike and noticed that the other team also put up EoE and was bunched around it. One spike=8 deaths.

Worst GvG ever would have been vs. Bad Zig. Game ended up going 82 minutes on Uncharted Isle because they ran 3 monks, bsurge and the insanely overpowered Paragon that was around at the start of NF. Thank god we won...

I was playing my assassin in RA one day when I got a team of two sword warriors and a mesmer (who promptly left after seeing we didn't have a monk) and we were on the Crag map. The warriors were both gloating about how their swords are some much cooler then my daggers and how assassins suck.

Then we engaged the opposition. I shadow stepped to each member of the opposing team - first monk, then dervish, elementalist, and a necromancer and unleash my combo - killing all of them in one fine sweep before my warrior friends could even land a hit.

They accused me of hacking and left because they didn't want to get banned by being on a hacker's team >.>

Happened with me as well a while ago. We had 1 monk (an infuser, only healer) and won vs IV spike in ~1,5 mins
/epic fail

Grenth's Rejects (GR)

I've had some weird ones. I've been in like 4 different guilds before I found a good one, so I've played just about everything.

In RA. 2 Healing Monks, me included and 2 Bonder Monks against a Sin, Dervish and Warriors, one of which used a combo of Heal Breeze and mending. The Assasin and Derv gave up and started dancing and the warriors beat on us until we wanded their teammates to death at which point they promptly left. Got 9 wins from that team, mostly from people who couldn't be arsed to play against us.

Fort Aspenwood, 6 Touch Rangers Uber-Touch-Spiked the hell out of Gunther. Battle lasted a good 4 minutes tops.

Costume Brawl(Is that PvP?) I played against a team of 2 Sins and 2 Warriors vs. 2 Sins and 2 Warriors. At the end it was tied, but we still won for some reason and one of the Sins spammed All Chat with "Noooooo!" until they were disbanded.

AB Battle. I was a mesmer and I did an Ineptitude/Arcane Echo spike on a warrior who proceeded to shout in all caps about "Mesmers can't do that! You must be a hacker!" Sad thing was he was using Frenzy/Healsig with Healing Breeze. WTF is with the warriors and Healing Breeze?

GvG. Nothing special except the monk who brought Vengeance as a Res skill and we fought a bunch of mesmers with shatter enchantment. I've never seen a more Epic Failure than that.

More stories to come, when I dig up my screenies of said events.

My first and last guild GvG match...

We only had 6 people and 2 hench and no clue what we were doing.

After the match started no one on my team knew how to open the gate(this was in 2005 fyi) and the opposing team was certain we were using some expert stratagey against them.

In the end we ventured out, long after they had +10% moral boost, and began to fight. I launched myself at thier monk, with my war/monk smite build and preceded to lay down the damage. The monk stood still and self heal as he kept his entire party alive for the short duration it took them to wipe out all of my team.....

When the guild lord finally died the other guild actually was very polite and said we showed good skills, though we had a few things to learn about GvG.

Unfortunately we tried a few training sessions in the Team Arena and were laughed at and ridiculed leading to most of our guild refusing to do any PvP at all. We've been a PvE guild ever since.

Way back when, we (LOL) were facing Te and noticed Kriegar (on Ele) wasn't wearing any armor (I heard he was screwing around while waiting for a match). We in turn, spiked him out two or three times in a row (relatively quickly...no armor after all).

We would later learn Te's Monks were raging at him and wondering why he was dying so fast :P.

Good times. Even better than Kriegar killing himself with Heal Party with 3 or 4 Scourge Healings out there.

Somehow the other team was fine...
same thing happened to my guild in a gvg awhile ago.

Yeah, I was on the verge of reporting them.

Sad thing was, our entire team suddenly stopped, their team didn't, and they only killed one of us.

My old guild ran a 6 monk 2 assassin team for gvg. Part that sucked was I didn't load on my sin, so it was 1 sin 6 monks. Funny part is they still managed to win it in 8minutes flawless.

I once put the wrong elite skill on my monk and proceeded to go on a GvG rampage... which we kept losing. Took me about 5 matches to realize what I had done.

I blamed it on being over-worked. But that was really only an excuse.

Charter Vanguard

E/Mo

The Charter Vanguard, has held a couple of prank GvGs, and while we've done so many wacky things in our time, I wouldn't exactly call this 'strange', but possibly strange to some.

Naked Dancing Mesmer GvG
We created a bunch of male mesmers, stripped to the underwear, positioned ourselves locked hand in hand, and did the Riverdance. We went into two or three GvGs that way, dancing right in front of the Guild Lord. If any of us were killed, we'd grumble at the world's lack of appreciation of art, and how art is only recognized after the artist is dead, therefore we would die martyrs lol.

The Holy GvG
We created a bunch of monks, males and females; each with protection and healing spells and an irritating little spell called Pacifism. We faced our enemies seated, advocating peace, love and kindness towards others. If we were attacked, we would heal and protect, and tell them to stop fighting and make friends. If they continued to attack, we would cast Pacifism on them. Needless to say the other team got irritated and told us to shut up, all except their guild leader, a female, who giggled and told us her birthday was in two weeks. We began singing happy birthday to her while her members continued to attack us and we continued to heal each other. I guess she was pretty touched, because when her guildies began yelling vulgarities at us, she chided them. And after the whole fiasco, whispered us to tell us she'd kicked the members in her guild who'd been rude to us. So we invited her into our hall, danced with her and gave her birthday presents. heh

I was once playing either thumper or iway war in HA. We killed all their players except 1 who started running around (He had some defensive stance). None of us were dead. My team mates started doing foolish things, emotes and dancing. The 1 guy rezzed another and they rezzed each other so all 8 were alive. Then we got our ass kicked. I was unhappy and rage quit.

The other time my cuz was playing RA as a war. Everyone died, except 2 war's on opposing teams. All the dead players left after 2 mins. The 2 war's went at each other for 90 minutes, then the other war left. My cuz then lost the next game.

In RA, a warrior in my team cast Mending. The other two flamed him and he left. The two flamers then left because we were 1 player down, leaving me on my own. I told the other team in Local chat I was alone and demanded they surrender. They lol'ed me, I told them to surrender again and they left one-by-one giving me a flawless victory.

In FA, once had a necro on the team who constantly sang songs in Local chat. Even when he was fighting, he was able to throw out lyrics.

An embarassing time in FA. I was on the Kurzick side and we weren't doing too good. Luxons were all over the place and gates were dropping. I went down one side and saw it was clear of enemies and we could run amber. I decided to tell the team, accidently doing so in Local chat without realising. When a group of us went there to run amber, there was a gang of Luxons waiting for us. They thanked me for setting up the ambush.
