Guild Wars 2

I’ve had a good few unforgettable moments in GW2. Here are just two:

The children in Lion’s Arch pretending to be Destiny’s Edge heroes, unaware the the real Destiny’s Edge are meeting above in the plaza :-)

As a level 65 Charr thief exploring Queensdale, standing on the pipes at the bottom of the ridge watching newbies falling off from the pipe vista above: it’s raining men (and women)!

Love it!

What are you going to remember?

Not sure. Ask me in 6 months or 6+ years if I care=) The ONLY thing that stands out right now was one particular vista during the 1st or second week, way up on a wall that lots of people were trying to get to. Took an hour I think to figure it out. None of us wanted to cheat and look it up on Youtube I guess.

I will remember the first time I went to Divinity’s Reach.

Breathtaking.

Ah yeah, the two kids I wish I could feed to the Charr every time I visit the Lions Arch bank because they will never shut the kitten up! Unforgettably annoying :P

Agreed. Couldn’t believe how huge Divinity’s Reach was.

Having actual fear of heights I will never be able to forget that jumping puzzle in Dreadnought’s Drifts….although I would like to forget it

In Queensdale, there’s a cave that has a sign that warns adventurers to stay away. So I enter the cave, and there’s nothing but harmless grubs that won’t attack you unless you attack them. But in the middle of the cave was this idol that you can pick up. So I did and wouldn’t you know it there’s a gigantic troll running towards me.

So I run out of that cave still carrying this totem. I threw it at the troll, hoping it would leave me alone. Nope. It was hellbent on catching me and calling me dinner. But out in the open were other adventurers. They came in and helped me subdue this fiend. But we fought the troll near a farm, and this farm was suddenly under assault by bandits.

So we all fought, fought our hardest and mightiest. Around us were bandits and in front of us was a livid troll. We eventually killed them off and was victorious.

Most memorable moment. Ever.

^That’s the kind of experience that makes the game so amazing

The meteor showers in Fireheart Rise,
the first time I came over the lip of the canyon and saw the battle raging at Sorrow’s Furnace,
The vista’s in Mount Mealstrom had me shaking with clammy hands because of my fear of heights…
my list could go on for a long time

Doing the Dark reverie jumping puzzle. For those of you who don’t know, this jumping puzzle requires you to complete another jumping puzzle to reach it. Then when you get there, the zone is filled with veteran mobs. On top of that, there is this one jump near the end that is really, really hard to get. Needless to say, I fell to my death the first time i tried. Frustrated and trying to decide if I wanted to try again or not, to my luck a group of people showed up and resed me
One of the players had already done this puzzle before, so he, Mr. helpful (not his real ign) stayed below, soloing veteran mobs while the rest of us tried and tried again. Second time around I went first on the tough jump, fell, and then lmao’d when one after another bodies came raining down from the sky. But thankfully for all of us, M.r Helpful was still there to get us back up After another 5-6 tries, and another 5-6 reses by Mr. helpful, I finally made the jump and got my achievement. I sent Mr. Helpful 1g for resing my kitten so many times

The first time I fought the Fire Elemental in metrica province, it was epic to see everyone dying more than 3 or 4 times per person and I only died once, I went inside and kited the adds with the help of an engi (I was a necro atm).

Also in metrica province, my very first jumping puzzle (Goemm’s Lab), it was just amazing because my wife saw the cave while I was playing and asked me to go there… it took me like 1 hour to figure it out and another hour to actually execute it because I fell a lot of times but it was super fun.

Most memorable was logging in and seeing that that my ranger’s SB animation glitch was finally fixed. I hated that thing for along time. Also, it’s so much more fun now that I can’t just sit there pressing 1.

The very first week in the game was amazing ! Best game launch ever at least for me.

One of my best moments so far was on BWE2, where I was playing as a ~15 elementalist in the human zone. It had been a really easy (and fun) levelling progression up to that point, because elementalist used to (maybe still does) faceroll anything and everything at low levels. Then I came across a bloody veteran that I just couldn’t faceroll. Then a random ranger popped in too, and the two of us together were still too weak. Then a warrior popped in as well, and all three of us were too weak.

We spent about half an hour trying to take that random veteran wasp thing down and finally managed it when a necro came along and started rezzing us as we went down mid-fight. It was awesome because we were just getting a chance to chat and try something hard.

For some reason this particular scripted chat in Lion’s Arch always cracks me up.

A little Asuran female kid walks up to a big Charr and says, “Your face is funny, all squished and weird.”

The Charr replies, “No, yours is funny, it’s like a little raisin.”

Just gets to me for some reason, lol.

My favorite moment in the game so far is when I was adventuring in Gendarran Fields [I believe] and I had walked by a town and the citizens were talking about how everything was well. I continued my adventure elsewhere when an event popped-up on my screen. I ran back to the town and when I got there I saw a giant Cyclops attacking the village with dozens of players fighting him off! I joined the battle and after tons of downings and ressurections we managed to take him down. The NPCs thanks and the player thanks made me feel part of a large community!

So far the most memorable experience (and my god there have been MANY lol) has been the change of scenery in the fields of ruin when i was just exploring and fighting random monsters and doing the dynamic events and seeing the branded region and storm in the distance. Man, was that intimidating from afar. Entering the branded region and just looking around was crazy enough, until i finally walked towards a branded charr and just watched it for a little and decided to attack it head on only to realize that behind the hill 3 other branded creatures including a veteran were waiting! Woo, what a battle lol

I was adventuring on my Asura Warrior in Metrica Province and wandered into one of the Skritt caves that was a bit too difficult for my level. I pulled too many Skritt and decided self preservation was the better option and so ran out of the cave with a horde of Skritt chasing me. An Asura NPC stood outside the cave taunted “Ha, you ran from Skritt!”. Oh the shame

Getting into the BWE 3 and over a 48 hr period I played ~31 hrs. Blew my mind just exploring everything I could and seeing these massive cities and doing events. Got to level 30 eventually.

Most mind-blowing bit – Way too many to list.

One of my favorite moments came after finishing an escort style DE into the middle of a swampy area. On the way back out, I noticed a flashing warning sign at the base of a mountain that read DANGER, as I walked up to it, naturally, I noticed another sign a little further up the mountain. Ooh! This looks exciting. I continued searching, finding sign after sign on my way up this mountain, building anticipation. “What could possibly require this much warning for adventurers? It must be something epic, I’m going to have my kitten handed to me!” I finally reach a clearing just below the summit of the mountain, and I notice the entrance to a cave tucked away behind a boulder. “This is it, moment of truth, adrenaline pumping, weapons at the ready!” I charged around the boulder and… There before me was the cutest little Asura you can imagine, completely surrounded by rabbits. I just about died laughing, because here I was prepped for a battle of epic proportions, and I discover this little nook hideaway belonging to a sweet little Asura with a very touching story about her rabbits. I sheathed my weapons and just sat next to her, enjoying the conversation and watching the rabbits hop around.

I love the moments this game provides.

Something Good: WvW siege on Stonemist and actually taking it.

Something Bad: Bots — it’s so, so, so bad right now. I’ve seen the same bots farming in the same spot for more than two weeks after I originally reported it.

In WvW, just making my way to where the fighting was. I run into an enemy and we start in on each other. We were really well matched, as in I was using every skill I had on my bars and so was he, hell of a fight.

Then he dodgerolls away from one of my attacks…And rolls right off a cliff we had drifted over to during the fight. A second later a loot bag pops up at my feet and I get exp for the kill.

Sorry little buddy, that wasn’t the way I wanted it to end. Well fought anyway.

Hehe … dodge-rolling to your falling-death in WvW is a right of passage!

I still remember walking into Divinity’s Reach in BWE1. I was floored at the size of the city. Before then I had seen only concept art and screenshots. I had no reference to the actual size of the city. I don’t think anything else in this game will be that unforgettable.

It’s kind of a shame the city is mostly an NPC ghost town.

One of my best game moments lead to one of my least forgettable moments… The favorite moment – I found one of the hidden jumping puzzles in Lion’s without even knowing there were hidden jumping puzzles. I just got curious about a light at the back of a cave and started investigating. That was the only “secret” I ever found in a game on my own, and I was quite thrilled.

So this lead to a terrible habit of jumping up on everything that looks like it might hold my weight. I was indulging my bad habit in Lion’s Arch and slipped. The fall was spectacular and I ended up as a Norn shaped stain in Mystic Plaza. Folks gathered around attempting to piece me back together and one asked “So… how did you die crafting?”. I was tempted to start a rumor about dangerous Mystic Forge recipes but resisted the urge

For some reason, my one is the Rogue Bull DE. So much nostalgia and that ‘wow look how much this has evolved’ feeling.

the 2 days i spent trying to figure out the metrica province jumping puzzle, its downright epic tbh, i enjoy these so much, and vstas ahh i love the pirate vistas like laughing gull island and such

Just had a huge battle on Gunnars Hold in WvW 3 servers fighting for the garrison, everyone there huge lag and invisible people, but an epic win for us after a good 30-40 minutes!

Hmm, there were several, though my memory is feeble.

*Much of WvW is incredible, really transcending in to a current-day classic from the moment you arrive.

*Once was watching the hyper real facial expressions on a mission cut-scene, when in dialogue; it rarely get as good from most of Hollywood.

*Another, when I saw the map ping red, turning around a massive avalanche was thundering from above, completely blocking the road, and being trapped slaughter ensued, would be a neat trick for WvW, /wink.

*Was just running my character through a high level area, and a massive artillery battle was under way, I mean ‘massive’, never seen anything quite like it in a real-time game environment, was as if I was in the middle of a scripted cut scene. Very surreal, yes, I kept running…

*Or the first open dungeon in charrville, with the three bosses in the crypt. After what seemed hours, we were all lol- ing “… was just a starter area event? wtf”

There were many others, but Excellent Work ArenaNet.

Most memorable moment so far for me was in sPvP. I was running with the repair kit and got a Warrior chasing after me. He’d use the sword’s charge ability, and I dodge out of the way at the last moment. I managed to repair the treb and exit from using it right as the guy started attacking me. We hacked at each other with our swords—my off-hand being warhorn, his shield—and managed to down each other at the same time with our bleeds. While in down state, we kept attacking each other until Vengeance became available. We both got up with the skill at the same time and continued attacking one another. Since neither one of us actually got the kill from the other, our Vengeance ran out and both of us died simulatneously.

‘Twas quite a fun battle that I had; sadly I can’t remember his name. =[

Well i got 2 moments i will never forget..

i was standing there and complained about how ugly the swamps were and those shadow monsters were annoying me…well my girlfriend who played with me was speechless so i was like “what?” and she’s like “oshi-” i turned around and saw dat giant behemoth >_> scared me -censored-less

2nd moment….tybalts death..cried for hours -.-

My best fight so far was the thunder troll in Sparkfly Swamp. Tried it solo: not a hope :-( Did some heart stuff and then went back. Two or three others had turned up and I joined in. We few, we happy few, spent about ten minutes slowly grinding him down. We kept our range, we did our thing: I poisoned and fired arrows from range, a mesmer(?) chained him down keeping him away from the rest of us. The team, which had come together by chance, worked as a good team should: we all fought to our strengths and there was real synergy. I felt a real sense of achievement in taking him down…. and then we went our separate ways.

My most memorable moment was:

To be honest I have so many memorable moments here’s a couple of non spoiler ones:

We we’re holding a jumping puzzle guild event where we just finished the Queensdale puzzle and making our way to Kessex Hills through the swamp to go to the puzzle there.

We ran into a escort event and decided to participate since it was going to the direction of the fort with the portal any way when suddenly the Meta event started so we spontaneously joined in and it was a lot of fun!

Another memorable moment was when we organised a Quaggan guild party in Lion’s Arch. We told everyone in the map to come to the Mystic forge where we were going to hold a party with a guild banquet, fireworks, funbox’s, booze etc. We also told them there would be a big surprise!

So we waited till a large crowd had gathered as we had promised a surprise. Then we counted down in guild and we all changed into Quaggans at the same time! As we popped the guild banquet etc. The party then really kicked off. I’m still working on putting the video of that night together but here’s two teaser screenshots:

The finding about my Parent’s was a great and fun storyline.

The jumping puzzle in the asura lands with wind frost ect. took me hours on my charr most of it jumping blind, got to the end got the chest killed the boss then saw it was almost server reset time. Went back to the final platform logged onto an alt for a while and returned. Totally excited that the boss had reset and thinking the chest had I jumped for joy, at which point the dog jumped up on me causing me to fall off the platform and sending me back to the first zone with no waypoints saved.

Love it!

Oh, i remember that day.

The same thing happened to me with the children in lion arch! I remember being personally offended when they were talking about Logan Thackery because i loved his character so much and that ended up being how I learned his story. Great moment!

The orphan’s storyline was my favorite in the game bar none.

My first unforgettable moment was back in BWE 2 my girlfriend and I were node hunting in Queensdale and saw a cluster of copper nodes. With a rich one inside a cave, trouble was it was filled with ettins. For reference, I was a p/p and s/d thief and she was a s/s and staff mesmer.

Getting in wasn’t to hard, but the aggro range was kind of scary, and they respawned rapidly. I forget if we ever got all the nodes, but we were fighting for a good ten minutes, getting downed and either getting the other back up or getting ourselves up through killing another ettin. We didn’t die once and it was some of the most intense fighting I’ve played in an online game up to that point. I think we learned so much about our classes and styles that we improved a great deal from before that encounter. People complain about it, and it’s not perfect, but I love my Flanking Strike skill

I’ve had lots of these moments, but here’s just one:

The first time I did the event chain in Metrica Province that leads to the giant Fire Elemental boss. I participated in the whole chain from beginning to end, and it took forever to kill the boss but eventually we got him down.

The funny thing was, after it was over some guy said “There’s another secret boss, follow me”. I honestly thought he was just trolling. But then… well, he wasn’t! We all followed him to the center of the building and got teleported up into a platform in the clouds to fight another boss.

I was just so impressed and amazed that there was a hidden boss in a hidden area. It was also just a really fun fight. My poor friend got knocked off the platform and fell to his death. After that experience, I knew that GW2 really was something special.

There are many. Every time I step into a new, unexplored territory I have to just stand there for a few extra seconds to admire the landscape around me.

But the most recent one was hearing the Shatterer roaring over the brand and whooshing past. It was really exciting.

Very sad but getting excited when i relized my Sylvari Glows at night.

This was antoher example of the detail put into this game

I’ve had a good few unforgettable moments in GW2. Here are just two:

The children in Lion’s Arch pretending to be Destiny’s Edge heroes, unaware the the real Destiny’s Edge are meeting above in the plaza :-)

Love it!

What are you going to remember?

I remember falling there. I thought my character would just “slide”. But no…

Others:

I remember the first time I’ve seen the Claw of Jormag event. Very breathtaking. Many players are participating.

The first time I explored Divinity’s Reach as well. Wow. I remembered “so, no one chooses Asura, Charr, Norn and Sylvari?” because I thought it’s the starting city for all races. lol

The first time I did the Brill Alliance heart. I started chatting up the skritt and nearly died laughing. Literally, because the skritt invasion DE started and I didn’t notice till the mob started bashing me.

Metrica has a lot of really awesome things in it, in fact.

Finding Troll’s End in LA by accident. This was in BWE#2 I believe. All I heard was ‘if you get to this really high point you can find a secret area’ and I went from there, tried to climb as high as I can, just improvising. It looked like that balcony was climbable, so I jumped, and slid right off it. As I was falling I was like NOOOOOOOOO-OOoooh I found it! Fell straight into it. Felt so lucky.

The entire beginning experience in Wayfarer Foothills. Still high on hype and unfamiliar with the game, and such a well crafted zone, it was an amazing experience.

A memorable moment was when I came across 2 NPC’s talking to each other…

Susej: I wonder who created Tyria in 7 days?
Ahddub: Showoff…

*hint: spell their names backwards

Being chased by 20+ JQ up top in the third level of SM and suicide leaping. Moment I was downed and about to be spiked; 10 or so of them went splat shortly after I did.

Evidently, they really wanted me dead.

So much so, they jumped with me.

I rallied since I tagged a bunch of my new found fan club, then ran through 50+ of them that were milling about below, and escaped them all by running a lap around the outer wall.

Benny Hill music was playing in my mind the entire time, btw.

1) Finding my parents home.
2) What happens to Tibalt on Claw Island.
3) The Ascalonian Wall skill point jumping challenge.
4) The first time I face planted off a ledge.

There’s so many! I’ll list a few though.
During BWE, me and this guy were going through a cave trying to get the skill point by the 2-headed Ettin. We both died, but the challenge was very memorable.
Another was when i was with 2 people trying to do a jumping puzzle, and two of us made it, but the other fell! We eventually all failed on the last part. >.>

The very first time i played with a norn guardian, and the first mission that implies killing that giant worm. That was my first impression of “OMG GREAT GAME 15/10”
