Well yes, I accomplised it for first time this...early morning with Sir Air Jordan's team. After almost being kicked for no mic, fending off double teams by Korea, I scored a sigel.

10+ streak, last team left for no reason and we got into the vault, then, we won HoH, then my guild won it again with one person down 
note, we are fighting for europe now as most of the guild where on american servers due to the horrible lag and lack of favor

Haven't won it yet. What happened to our pug sessions?
TopGun
Is it >possible< to win with a PUG? I'm not in a guild.
Xellos
It's possible to win with "Pugs" like guild pugs or upper tier pugs, but low tier to middle tier pugs are getting smaller by the minute. Then again, so is the competition!

I only made it to HoH once. The funny thing is it was after only 1 win. But unfortunately my team didnt win. Oh well
TopGun
What do you mean by "upper tier" pugs vs "lower tier pugs?"

I made it to HoH but we were demolished... badly....

first time i won it was with a pug (some people were rank 0-2 
) .
The funny thing was that after the 3rd map we won in tombs 1 of us crashed (one ele if i remember correctly) and we didn´t thought we would make it.
But after 7 rounds we finally reached hoh and won it 2 times with a ranger hench and lost close the 3rd time (one enemy team capped altar 4 secs before timer would`ve been over)
The next day i joined a group of some friends as prot monk.
The moment we won burial my dsl crashed and i couldn´t come online for an hour.
They won hoh 2 times after my crash ...

Got it and held it in the second beta, 5 times in a row, than the beta ended.
I didnt even know were i was. All i knew is that i got over 200 fame in a really short time.
Thoose were the times when you already defeat 4 foes teams by targeting and sticking together.

I have never been with a group that has won the second round in HoH, with the 8 man group.
It's just way to hard.

Yes it is possible to win with a Pug group, the one I was in was a bit of a pug.

Well about a week or two after the release, I was at the tombs and this monk was recruiting for his group. He said something like "Looking for 3 more players who know their build and no bull****" and his Guild Tag was [sB] but that meant nothing to me at the time. Anyway he gave the talk you know about focusing fire and every thing, then we organized the rift warden killing group.
At the time most teams in the tombs had 3 or more W/Mos, it was the build back then. We had 1, just 1 tank. And 2 rangers (Me and another), and the rest were eles and monks. Well we didnt get to the Rift Wardens it shipped us to the UnderWorld. We won there, and were sent to the Hall of Heroes. We got our hero in the altar at like 20 seconds to spare. We won 3 more times aswell. I got 2 rares and another guy got 2 sigils. And the other 2 rares and sigils went to other people.
When we lost and went back to the tombs, I gave my rare sword to the tank. And the guy who got 2 sigils was giving it to the highest roller. So we all /roll 100ed and I got 78 and won with that. And thats how I have my Guild Hall!
If the story doesn't make sense. /Roll was able to be used in public areas at that time. And also in the HoH ony one sigil was dropped per chest.

HEY THERE COOKI! K K K K K K K Kancho here by the way. I was in that group O_O. In fact you've been invited to the guild XD.

Hmm I think it was with... a pug.
Screeeeeen !
Look at the build we were running, you'll be quite surprised... No smite, no spirit spam, no spike. Damn I miss this time when you could win HoH with a "normal" team. And ... omg
is it Life bond ? Yes it is !! Something you won't see anymore thanks to Nature's renewal being overexploited nowadays.
Then I won it quite often, with Extra Crispy, Athena UK or even Zodiac Braves guild group, and a few other pugs with Xenos Constantine and Killaspike Holybane, but this wasn't as good as the first time, alas...
First time with guildies was much more enjoyable, despite of the fact that we only won two times consecutively :
Cheeeeese !

Sigh... I have yet to win the HoH and doubt I ever will, but these are some cool stories.
I wish I could find these upper tier PuGs more often, I seem to find the crap every time lol. Ah well, such is life.

And for everyone else, don't feel bad about not winning HoH yet, just be glad your full human team didn't get wasted by a full henchie party.

Needless to say it was a while ago, and we wouldn't be able to win with such a kind of build nowadays...
But of course, we were proud, even if it didn't last...

yes i can tell, with the meta game obviously changed to people spamming renewal now, a smite team would get chewed up for trying to hold the hoh for too long. even though I HAVE taken the hoh in a smite group, it's almost impossible now to hold it for too long.
