Scariest: Definately my first Sand Worm.
Creepiest: First trip into UW.
Jumpiest: Rounding a corner just into post-seering and seeing Cobble Poundstone poised to lay the smack down on my lvl 4.

I heard a minipet scream and it scared me a bit. I'm not sure which, but I'm assuming the troll?

Carl Butanananowski · Aug 24, 2006, 11:40 PM // 23:40

I thought it was the Bone Horsemen people. How they always go 'AIIIIGHHHCC!'

scariest, definitely the when my monk's mini charr did his first really loud growl. I think it's the same fx as the mini troll.

I think I was in fow with a party and the battles were pretty quick one after another, and I'd hear this growl of an attacking monster from right behind me while keeping the party alive under shadow caster spikes. Panicked, I spin the camera looking for the source, but a glance at the radar says no mobs near my area. Get back into the healing rhythm, and bam, there it is again! Surrounded by spells, skill effects and running casters makes it pretty confusing when it sounds like there's something about to attack you every few seconds. It took me a bit before I figured out that my mini charr was having a good laugh scaring me at every opportunity, camouflaging himself among the rocks.

Kuna I think is more annoying than scary though, with his constant flap flap flap.

Biggest scare in prophecies - first time a party of lvl 15's tried to fight our way through lornars to droknar before the existance of runners, and we were ambushed by one of the wurms.. then escaping and end up having 2-3 worms making pulp out of our party

55 tanking smites in first person mode is horrifying

KANE OG · Aug 25, 2006, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Oh Yeah! A scary moment in Factions: First time I took Silverwing along and heard that God-awful Bird sound behind me. AAAuuuuuggghhhh!!!!

I dont find Guild Wars scary

I dont play with sound as I like to listen to music or watch television. I dont run Guild Wars in full screen so I can chat to people on MSN. I also skip all the cut scenes lol.

Opeth11 · Aug 25, 2006, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Not really scary, but sure is scary for my Monk's health when she's running around with henchmen through alleys and then 50 Am Fah pop up and start tearing through Sister Tai.

Guardian of the Light · Aug 25, 2006, 01:51 AM // 01:51

Wasn't scary at all but I remember playing monk wiht henchies and getting pin in by 3 monsters, getting stuck in 1st person. All I could think of was "GET EM OFF AAAA"

Yeh thats what i do, last time i checked dragonforce wasn't very scary

well, when i had like 200 ram i didn't get to do that so i'd have to say in post seering when i turned a corner and saw a grawl boss i ran back as fast as i could.

VitisVinifera · Aug 25, 2006, 03:11 AM // 03:11

this game? are you serious? its like a g - rated cartoon.

Doom 3 / Undying / Call of Cthulhu / Silent Hill 3, those will give you the creeps AND scares

My only minor jump moment was when I lagged and an Afflicted Necromancer went through me. I thought he was attacking, when he was really five feet away from my character.

GuildWars Combat · Aug 25, 2006, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Well it wasnt scary or anything it was...suprising...well anyways when i had first gotten onto cantha mainland with my first character i was running along i didnt see any mobs so i just kept going then all of the sudden mobs started raining on me i was ahh omg whats happening then i noticed they were am fa

taffette · Aug 25, 2006, 06:20 PM // 18:20

Heh, glad I'm not the only one that jumped when first adventuring with that Tengu henchie lol! I actually turned around to see what was attacking me!

As for jumpiest, I jump a little bit last night when doing the bonus to the ring of fire - had my camera zoomed in too close and Eidolon practically dropped on my head...

Not a creepy/scary/jumpy moment, but I'm going to share anyways.

In every game I've played, whenever my character takes sudden, massive, unexpected damage, I'll actually scream/yell in real life, voicing my character's pain out loud. This is a constant source of irritation for my wife, especially when we're on teamspeak.

So, my mes and the hench are visiting SF for the first time and we come across the quest where you have to take care of the flame djinn. I'm thinking "What the hell is that? A firey tinkerbell?", proceed a little closer, and after a quick consuming flames, I'm screaming in pain and shock.

I didn't hear my wife calling anxiously for me, out of concern, (I was carrying on too loudly I guess), but I did hear her snippy little comments afterwards when she came in to check and make sure I still had all my appendages attached.

In my own defense, she should know by now the selection of words/phrases I use when I do actually injure myself. I only do the exaggerated, painful, girlyman scream of despair when I'm playing videogames.

I've never actually been scared, mostly just creeped out, and not so much by appearances, mainly noises.
Like that random noise some of the Charr make when they hit you that sounds like a 20 foot Bowser on crack.
My first journey through Kryta was pretty intense though, having never seen the undead before, and randomly lawling through the swamps thinking I was doing fine. I wasn't paying attention to my radar, and the mass mob of about 15 enemies swarming me, including those damned Bone Horsemen that just gave me really creepy thoughts.
Oh, and, my first attempt at The Villainy of Galrath quest.
I made it about 60% of the way with henchies and I was sooo stoked until I turned this corner and there, spawned out of nowhere, were about 10+ lvl 20+ Nightmares and other irritating monsters that simply owned the crap out of me.
I've always hated that quest. Always.

Oh, and the one time I tried Captured Son in Factions, and decided to forget about the whole "hold ALT or CTRL to see enemy names" thing. So, natrually, lawling along like usual, humming a circus song perhaps, and BAM I realise there's about 1904721049712047120472149 enemies required to die in this quest, all huddled in the same area.
The biggest shock in terms of that quest, was having to question what was going through that quest-developers head when he decided to make it the most retarded quest in the game.

Aside from that, Sand Worms just creep me out man.
They want to swallow your shit like the Sarlacc swallowed Boba Fett.
