What are some of your worst fails in GW2? Mechanically? Gameplay? Or just out right funny moments all can be posted here.

I think my biggest fail was my first attempt at the diving challenge from from Draconis. You’re diving a good long ways to a bucket in sulfuric acid. But here’s the kicker. Due to the fog, I couldn’t actually see where there was water… and where there wasn’t. So 40 seconds later and suddenly someone gets the fudge scared out of them as a naked female charr slams into the dirt face first at 120mphs.

Gambling for sure, i’ve wasted hundreds of dollars on black lion keys and thousands of gold in the mystic toilet…but somehow i still love this game. Perhaps my guilt would be way too heavy if I quit playing knowing the real world resources i’ve put into it.

However….i would love to see an animated short based on what the op described! Would be the best!

Turning 150 softwood planks into dowels. I’d spent weeks saving up that wood!

Also the time (very early on in both the game’s life and my learning to play it) when I actually told my guild “I don’t need to worry about dodging, I play a ranger”.

The first time I ever died in this game was to a herd of cows in Queensdale.

Right after launch, me and a couple of friends took on deer a few levels above us.

It ended well, for the deer that is.

At least we got the nearest wp opened up before we attempted that little venture. :/

Back when the whole “every class can do every role” hype was strong, I decided that my main, a necromancer, would be a healer.

  • I picked traits that seemed healer-like (Trait investment used to have a fee attached to it)
  • I went for gear that had healing power
  • I picked runes and sigils that complemented healing power
  • My first full exotic set was all magi
    All of this was a result of work spanning from the game launch until LW Season 1.

Then one day, I decided to switch to berserker gear and finally realized why everyone was complaining about the game being too easy.

My biggest fail was quitting GW2 a few weeks after release because I “got bored”. However, I didn’t even try most of the content like map completion, WvW and PvP. I was so stupid! Later I came back, tried more content, found a fun guild and I’ve been active since then. I just can’t get into other MMOs anymore.

Ahhhh, yup, you’re not alone there! I did a whole stack into dowels as I wasn’t paying attention XD

But my biggest fail was probably that it took me a few months before I realised the importance of salvaging things, and to realise the TP existed!! So for months I was just selling all loot to vendors!

My biggest fail is, I saw the ghastly grinning shield on sale for 300g, and was like aww I will buy that tomorrow, then it was 700g and I was like, I haaave that in guild bank, then I coould not pull it out because kittening anet nd some bs about goldselling, ps this is MY guild bank when I was the only member. So then I was like ohhh ok I just wait 24 hours to pull more gold.

Then it was 5 k gold.

And kitten everything.

TLDR; I could have gotten 3 shield at 300g and made stupid CAS$$$$HHHHHHH

My biggest fail was deleting my 3 day head start character. Now I have to wait till late November to get my birthday presents.

The biggest troll Anet has done to me was give me Spark as a precursor drop, on a beta character that I couldn’t keep. It dropped from a modrem grunt during HoT beta weekend 1. It was selling for 1000 gold at the time.

Unfortunately, I am quick to dismiss fails from my memory, so I can’t come up with something original from the top of my head. I am sure there have been dozens of occasions I failed badly at this game, particularly when I was new to it.

I flip the trader and my worst brain fart was when i misread some stuff in the wiki about ingredients in some runes. When i added up the cost for the ingredients i realized that the cost for the ingredients was just a fraction of the cost for the crafted rune on the trader.

Subsequently i bought everything i could find of a certain crafting material to craft runes and sell.

Imagine my surprise when i tried to craft the rune and i couldnt craft it.

that stunt costed me close to 3000 gold….

And this happend last week btw….

Destroying two Gifts of Exploration

Getting a redundant skin from the SAB skin chest because the one for which I had only one chance and which I wanted was at the very bottom, not noticing I could scroll

Copying NPCs, including their names (in fact had “Rytlock” 1 1/2 years ago), trying to dodge Anet Mods so they won’t block it, then slaying Shatterer and not noticing there were 3 mods around all the time, in fact getting a name block just a few minutes later (Disclaimer: I’m not doing this anymore. I create punny versions on the nicks which have been proven to give a laugh rather than a ban now)

My first death ever, in Plains of Ashford, running around naked because I thought it’s funny, getting bitten to death by a… fish underwater.

I spent all my resources 2-3 years ago making eternity just to get that shiny crystal. But now i hate it because of the explosions on footfalls, its way over the top and ruins immersion for me.

Then i made predator after deadeye announcement as i gambled on it being more mechanical than warr rifle, as thief requires insight, but instead we are left with a hard hitting wep which reduces functionality in other aspects, which is a hinderance vs top players. Now i dont think ill ever play that spec, but ofc i had to make the wep soulbound..

Using Polymorph Moa on … a Moa

hey at least it changed its color

That’s my favorite activity in the game! Changing colors on Moas, turning everything else into Moas which then go onto a rampage, daze people and peck them to death.

On the topic. Few weeks I reset one of the blighting towers events and told everyone to regroup at the entrance, because someone in my squad screamed “lulz, fail, respawn” when he was actually at a totally different tower. Reactions ranged from confused, angry to amused.

Not sure about this one yet, crafted Astralaria for my Mesmer. Let’s see how that turns out. :o

First halloween, I got the greatsaw greatsword skin on the first day, and sold it for 28 gold, which was a lot then. Didn’t know how rare it was.
It later went up in price to 5000+ gold ……………. doh

It can happen!

And then you’ll get over-eager to add the skin to your Wardrobe right after the change in system, and only then realize it was a precursor and now you’re stuck with it until you can put together all the gifts and blaaagh over a Gift of Battle to finally make Meteorlogicus and sell the ruddy thing.

…I’m just gonna say maybe a few mistakes were made. >.>

I was going for the Dive Master and took like 6 months to actually make it to the top of the No Secret Jumping Puzzle without the aid of a portaling mesmer. I finally put on the goggles, and accidentally backward dodged off the platform and splatted. Took another 4 years before I attempted it again. By that time, the title had been removed.
