Guild Wars 2

Basically, I just want to get a list of the coolest PvE moments in the game (epic bosses, awesome vista viewpoints, crazy cutscenes, most awe-inspiring scenary, best stuff in personal story line, etc). If it’s awesome, please name it.

I want to run through the game again like I’m brand new and experience everything for a second first time (I literally forgot everything since release). Plus it might make for some cool footage I can make a montage out of.

The best PvE moment was the story mission where you go up the Arah steps. The key here is the music. It sounds very regal but also that a battle is coming up. Made me flash back to the good times of Orr.

Do world completion, that’s epicest PvE

The best PvE moment was the story mission where you go up the Arah steps. The key here is the music. It sounds very regal but also that a battle is coming up. Made me flash back to the good times of Orr.

Is that the mission where you are guided through a “vision” by the avatar of the Pale Tree? That music was great.

Seeing Behemoth spawn in the first day of my gameplay while trying to do the heart in swamp. I’ve never experienced a facial expression like that in my gaming history. I was like “HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!”

I’ve done world completion. This is all literally 7 months ago though, and I want to just record a bunch of cool footage now – not work another month for it. Between work and social life, I don’t have much time for it.

I’ve been putting a lot of effort into making movies lately and thought that turning something like this into a fan trailer would be a neat project.

Oh man… so many things come to mind, I’m going to miss stuff for sure. Here’s what I got off the top of my head, just for open world things.

Cooler, non-dragon world events with bonus chest:
Golem Mk. II- intro animation is amazing
Dredge Commissar- the nearby massive battle between the priory and the Dredge is a sight to see. Grab a personal shield generator.
Dwayna’s Temple in Orr- great lore elements woven in
Melandru’s Temple in Orr- get turned into a puppy dog in the middle of a boss fight

More obscure world events with bonus chest:
Flame Temple Tombs
Fire Shaman Cinderspire
Ogre Wars
Zho’Qafa Catacombs

More obscure Meta/Group Events, no bonus chest:
Megadestroyer (Mount Maelstorm)
Devouring the Brand (Iron Marches)
Champion of the Sun (Caledon Forest… ahaha always makes me think of Charlie from Always Sunny)
Assault on Atrox (Fireheart Rise)
Cleanup Krewe (after fire elemental, requires a Matrix Cube Key on the ground in the reactor somewhere)
Toil for the Coil (event chain that unlocks CoE)

Memorable/awesome puzzles:
Chaos Crystal Caverns
Diedre’s Steppes
Goemm’s Lab
Vexa’s Lab
Portmatt’s Lab (figure out how to get on top of the Lighthouse!)
Forsaken Halls
Obsidian Sanctum (careful)

General areas that are cool to see:
Ebonhawke (if you were a GW fan at all, anyway)
The Dragonbrand (extends through Fields of Ruin and Blazeridge Steppes)
Old Lion’s Arch
Fort Trinity
The bottom of the Bakestone Caverns in Southsun Cove (right now especially)
Anything underwater in Frostgorge Sound
The Durmand Priory’s book tornado, and the Whispers’ globe
Divinity’s Reach never fails to impress me.

The two Guild Puzzles, Proxemics Lab and Langmar Estate, are also both amazingly beautiful.

Dear god, you are my hero. This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

I’m not sure if this counts…but my favorite aspect of PvE is simply the scenery! The graphics blow my mind daily. I love being able to just go and explore a windmill for no apparent reason. Just cause it’s fun!

The intro videos for every race, especially Charr.
However the moments I love best were in that final mission in Arah.
When the Champion Eye of Zhaitan tried to play with my head I just thought “That’s it you die NOW!” In fact that’s why it made my signature today.
The second best was during the final moments when Fear not this Night played instrumental, the game slowed down, and I hear the Pact forces screaming to hold the line. This would be it!
I loved final showdowns like that.

Sooooo. Need to put in the singing pirate in bloodtide coast!

Also agreed on the first sight of shadow behemoth. Was even better when the only people there were low level and gettin wiped!
