Wierd, it was the other way around for me.

After a year, and finishing every other mission with six core characters, I finally faced up to my hatred of Aurora Glade. Way back, with my first character, I had so many failed attempts at this mission that I walked to HoD instead and vowed never to set foot in Aurora again.
Well, I'm never going to get a Protector title without it, so in I popped the other evening - 2 seconds to join a pug (monk

) and 15 minutes or so later mission and bonus complete

ToPK
start
6 guildies and 2 others

4 b/p (I was one of these)
1 fire ele
1 monk
2 necro

lost the two others and 1 guildie by the time we got to part 3

2 b/p
1 fire ele
1 monk
1 orders necro

We thought we would see how far we could get like that
It took alot of stratagy and several many candy canes and well over an hour but we completed the last to areas and got the greens.

The Necro the ele had NEVER done ToPK before and the other B/P had never finished it.

It was a rush indeed to win like that, I still have the Elswyths Longbow I got as a drop on that run

haha i remember doing that galrath mission, i coudln't understand what all the hype around it was and it was worth 4000 exp! when we finally got to galrath, our party of 8 was reduced to a warrior and my ranger, we thought we'd never make it but surely enough we did

felinette · Aug 30, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Henching the Aurora Glade mission and bonus for the first time (henched it several times since then--still gives me a thrill).

Henching Elona Reach mission and bonus--I'd always been intimidated by that mission for some reason.

Killing Glint.

Finishing the campaigns.

winning halls for the first time.
The feeling of sudden relief i got when i saw the message that my team won was sexy.

medalgo · Aug 30, 2006, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Was doing villainy of galrath with a party of six, had 3 warriors and basically the rest of the group was like ?%$#?$%? SO MANY TANKS. They sticked around and it took us about an hour to finally get to the base of the mountain that galrath was on(fighting almost all the mobs along the way), but there were like 30+ monsters directly in front of the path that leads up. So we just decided to charge in and see who survives. Well, it was none other than myself and another tank, he was DP'ed to 60 so i took out the bandits, and we both killed Galrath together. Back then 4000XP was worth dying for, but I don't think I'll ever do this quest again since I'm spoiled by Factions

greenlantern · Aug 30, 2006, 04:04 PM // 16:04

The first time I did the Leroy Jankins mission in SF. I love to do new adventures in new lands and this was just mindless fun. I laugh so much during that mission. Wasn't that much fun afterwards.

Sir Skullcrasher · Aug 30, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Beating the Final Assault mission inside Sorrow Furnace. We went in there with 8 men team but when we killed all the bonder, the fire dijnn (SP?) came out to fight. We actually got half the team wiped out but the monk did some quick ressing to get us back and we did the bundle up trick to avoid the massive damage from their attacks. After that we won and took screen shots of our victory.

Anyways, my most memorable was doing my first run with LBS (way before I was a grad), and got compliments from the biggest grump in GWs, Oreos on my monking! I was so happy to hear that LBS grads thought I was a good monk. This is back when I was a noob and running Heal other without energy mngment...

That, and a few months later, getting my first FoW armor on my awesomeness monk Lord Sojar!

Best DAY EVER!

yeh, that also! With my old ranger spike team, it was AWESOME! Before the OoB nerf, and I wasn't even playing that great of a monk build, but it worked!

Here is a screenie from my first halls win (won only 2 other times)

Ooops....can't get screenie...I am sad...reformated a while back, now I can't find it!

Searching guru fast. *Cross Fingers* Nope, can't find it..

MMSDome · Aug 30, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

me and my friend still were quite noobs to guild wars so we were exploring Kryta (this is before we looked at completed maps) and we found ToA and fishermans haven. Eversince fishermans has been my favorite toen because i accidently discovered it. Exploring was probably the most fun I had in Guild Wars. When I got to ToA I didnt realize that giving 1k to champion of balthazar would tkae you somewhere I thoguht I was purchasing a quest. So me and my friend were in FoW and we saw level 24's and level 28's and couldnt imagine how anyone could kill just one of these things! We just ran around and died, was quite exciting. I miss the good old days when I didnt know how to play good and everything was so new. No I solo parts of FoW, it makes me sad

Eviance · Aug 30, 2006, 05:31 PM // 17:31

I have a couple... First time that I went to FoW. I had met a great person while capping and he messaged me later that night asking if I wanted to FoW with him and his guild... I said I had never been, but that I would prefer it if my husband and brother could come along since we were virtually inseperable. They asked one of their guildies to step out so that we could all go together.
(My brother and I had been the only ones to venture into FoW before and we did it with just the two of us, because we were insanely curious lol and died so fast lol.)
Anyways the first two tries went bust from the start, but on the 3rd try we had it going on so nicely! One of their guild was down there to get his armor so we had to make it to the forge master. We got the dragons killed and took the book quest... OMG we spent almost 2hrs in that area because the skeleton rangers had some serious agro on the two people left alive. When 5 of 8 of us were dead and too far in the guild we were with said, crap we might as well start over there is no way!
Our bipper/nuker >_> my brother rezzed the closest monk which was the ONLY one not in agro range, my brother would then run in and hold agro for a few so that someone could be rebirthed out - on and on this went because the skeleton rangers would start giving chase from the other side of the compass.... Running in and out over and over and just... oye, but we managed it. The guild we were with were so impressed that we managed it and that we didn't give up. We eventually not only made it to the forge master and got that guys armor, but went on to clear the forest and such. Anytime they went to FoW they kept spots open for us and any of our guildies that wanted to go.
Their guild sorta fell apart after the Factions bomb as most of their guildies left for other online games =/

The other most memorable moment was when were were flung to the second to last round of halls we were allowed to hold the podeum till the last few mins when the onslaught came. I was trapping and managed to keep almost everything at bay but then we all died as did our ghostly but no one managed to cap the podeum after us so we were flung to halls for the first time as a guild. That is where we faced Prez and another guild/group. Prez saw our guild rank of 9000+ and went OOOH EASY TARGET! They charged us with everything they had and even though we couldn't kill them, they couldn't kill us either. The next thing we knew they were trying to get us to help them kill the other team so we could battle it out lol. Needless to say Prez held that round but only because of spellbreaker on the ghostly. Both our team and the other team were heavy on magic, but it was a great feeling to know that we didn't totally suck and that we held our own so well.

*sighs* good times!

Master Ikram · Aug 30, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

When i was doing hell's precipe on my warrior. I joined a PuG and we left.We had 2 warriors,3 rangers,1 mesmer and 2 monks. Just as we got to Rurik one of our monks had to go!. We were dying and we barely made it. Once we killed rurik the mesmer and the warrior left. So we has 1 warrior (me) 3 rangers and one monk. We carried on thinking we'll fail. Once we got to the lich our monk died and left. So only me and 3 other rangers were left. We ran back,regained our health and kicked the lich's butt.

I also have a picture of us finishing the mission....

saphir · Aug 30, 2006, 07:53 PM // 19:53

i have a few..

1. When everything was new and unknown in the land known as Tyria I accepted a quest from a guy after reaching the magnificent city of Lion's Arch. Kill this Galrath guy for 500 xp? Can't be all that hard right?!
Joined up w/ a 6 person group of lvl 14-15's and off we went. I was quite fortunate that this group had already made 1 or 2 attempts already, and we had a ranger who knew the way and taught us all the concept of pulling patrols in the iron curtain. What began as a simple adventure turned into a 2 1/2 to 3 hour quest across 4 zones I had not yet explored (I don't think any of us knew about TOA at that point). It was exciting and dangerous, w/ the danger quite real of a complete party wipe as Draknor runs did not yet exist, no one had high end armor, weapons or elite skills. Runners offering their services were not rampant in towns. Our humble little party had no lvl 20's helping us out. I think we even had a lvl 11 necro who kept dying =)

We destroyed those fast moving necrid horseman patrol one by one, the threat of death by chain lightning constantly hanging over our heads. We actually worked our way thru what I now know to be the more difficult path thru the Iron curtain zone, past the bone dragons, popping nightcrawlers and poisonous swamps. When we finally emerged victorious on top of the little hill that Glarath calls his castle, we were so elated that we all got naked, danced and took many screenshots. And then a few weeks later they changed it to a 4000 xp quest =)

2. Completely clearing UW. A 5 hour run, the 3rd or 4th attempt I had been on w/ some pug players I met in our attempt to clear UW. We cleaned our way to the chaos planes and on our second attempt at it, completed the Four Horseman quest successfully. It was craziness. Then proceeded to clear out the rest of the monuments and finish Unwanted the hard way =) Now that I know all the back routes and ideal sequence to clear, I still can't believe we did it that way. We searched in vain for Gwen, our reward chest of ecto's or the ever elusive UW armor crafter. In our disappointment we slaughtered all 6 spider pets =) I'm still glad I managed to stay up until 9am for that UW clearing run!

3. Yak's Bend arenas - Me on my lvl 15 mes, w/ 2 warriors on my tail. Everyone else dead, no one w/ a res sig left. The other warrior is at 1/3 hp and I burden the full hp one, then quickly finish him off the weaker. The last warrior at full hp, sporting elites and armor that he shouldn't be wearing starts poking me w/ his big pointy stick. Everyone spamming me to just die (even my own team, gee, thx guys..) as I charge up my hp and energy. Once my skills are recharged I turn to face him and take him town after a good fight. Most memorable words from my own w/mo teammate who repeatedly called for my death, "OMFG!"
I love plague touch lol

4. More recently, I finally decided to create the only class I've never played, the ever beloved warrior =)
Been leveling thru Shing Jea arenas. It was down to me and an assasin, both of us lvl 10 and about evenly matched, although unforunately he had a poison skill and his plague touch rendered my conditions useless. Both out of res sig, timer going on 8 minutes and it was obvious that we were at a stalemate. Decided to risk taking the battle into the miasma area w/ 5 degen on both of us since I was getting a bit bored and figured it would end quicker there. I Interrupted his shadow refuge and won the match w/ still half my hp =)

Dragonious · Aug 30, 2006, 07:56 PM // 19:56

Mine would have to be holding 28 straight and getting a dwarven axe on my last hold in HoH. Good times...

Giga Strike · Aug 30, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

when i saved my team in the post campaign saving ascalon quest.

was able to keep alderbern alive against 2 fire titan and a couple charr and still res the other monk. too easy.

Phantom Gun · Aug 30, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

I was on the last Tyrian mission "Hell's Precipice", with my canthan mesmer. It's the only character I've beaten both games with. Well on the hell's precipice mission I had been in several groups that day trying to beat it. After several trys I decided to give it one more go before I left and did someting else. I ended up with a pretty good group set up. Acouple monks, a few tanks, a few rangers, and an ele.

Well about a quarter of the way into the mission both of our monks leave, then one of our warriors, then one of our rangers. So it was me, a warrior, an ele, and a ranger left. We stopped and had a little bit of a rant, then for some reason we continued on with only 4 of us. Nobody even suggested it this just happened. So we take out the bonus and eventually reach the end of the mission with some careful teamwork. Had to kill the last boss acouple times but in the end, we beat the mission and in disbelief that it was just four of us with no monks "with the exception of our secondary proffesions". So we did our woots and hurrays and that was it. But that was the most memorable moment I ever had in guild wars.

Thargor · Aug 30, 2006, 08:27 PM // 20:27

Mine would be the night that I joined my first guild. Had my ranger in Yaks Bend and was bored so I went into the arena. got in a couple of groups that won 1 or 2 times and then I got into an awesome group. Many hours later we were all well above the level that you could get into the arena since we leveled up so many times. After seeing that it was our group that they were fighting people would ask us what win we were up to, so we would tell them and then beat the snot out of them!
At the end of the run we had 189 consecutive wins! That was a great night and we all ended up joining the guild that one of the guys had already set up. Still don't know what happened to that guild since one day i logged on and found that I had been kicked out along with many of the others in the guild. Anyways, that is still my most memorable moment in GW.

EagleEye33 · Aug 30, 2006, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Killing glint for time, realising how easy it was :P

Getting masters in Eternal grove with 6 ppl, no tanks 1 a monk.

Id'ing gold and getting high priced runes like sup vig and sup abs(back in the day when it was worth a lot, I got one)

broodijzer · Aug 30, 2006, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Sunijang district, 2-3 days after release. Every pug I entered failed. Took me about 6 tries, with a party of 5 monks (including me), 1 warrior and rest henchies. Everybody there was in the district, and nobody wanted to leave 1 out. It still was 1 hell of a battle. Took us about 40 minutes I believe.

So weird, since I was quite experienced back then, but when I do it now, it's incredibly easy with henchies.

felt so great then, to get into cavalon. It was my "task" to get to cavalon asap, to get our guild luxon so we could get an alliance. Too bad there were like no alliances then, the thing was just fixed, and cavalon was so empty.
