What is the coolest thing you have seen to date in Guildwars? - Guild Wars Forums

Genosha · Mar 24, 2005, 09:16 PM // 21:16

I was doing a run by myself below Frost Gate when I came across a valley that was thawing from the snow with tree's on 1 side and just 1 tree on the other. I sat for a second to check out the view when out of nowhere snow fell off the tree

. Yeah, you think i'm kidding, but snow fell off a tree as it swayed in the breeze. That was so cool and here I thought that tree's swaying in the breeze was something...

I think the coolest thing i have seen i believe was leaving ascalon city to the south south west and i eventually ran into a huge crysatl in the middle of a lake it was very breath taking my entie party stopped and stared for like 15 seconds.

Ah yes. My party (composed of 2 people, me included) took screenshots like japanese tourists. It was a majestic sight.

My favorite moment was to finally see the snowy mountains of Traveler's Vale.

Easy answer: Rurik dying.

I completly agree.

Mutilating Aria's fresh corpse and using it to redecorate my ice cave.

This war shall span many a medium, be it forum, PM, or ingame!

Bring it on! By the way, did you see the nice new lavender throw rugs on the floor? Pure, 100% natural, bloodless and goreless ettin hides!

But um.. just to pretend that we're on topic so that Spooky doesn't skin us both.. Genosha, I thought the same thing! The trees in pre-searing Ascalon did sway, I think.. and I did the very exact thing, and just sat there. That and the shadow of the leaves moving across the trunks.. I was in love.

Lunarhound · Mar 25, 2005, 12:51 AM // 00:51

I'd have to say that the coolest thing I've seen is still the first moment I crested that hill when Defending the Wall and caught sight of the massive Charr army. Not the most visually impressive thing in the game, but it had the biggest impact on me.

Agreed. There was nothing better than watching his head get sawed off after that tree fell on him (i wonder if we had killed the Ice Drake then it wouldn't have happened? well... i prefur his death to 1,000 exp i think. heh)

Lews · Mar 25, 2005, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Gwen was awesome...

Oh, when I finally got out of the Old Ascalon into the mountains, then when I finally got out of the mountains into the green place.

It's almost too big to see it for what it is when you're standing in it, but if you take a look at your map, you can see that crystal, the lake, and the plain around it is actually in the middle of a huge impact crater!

Actually, now that I think about it, the huge impact crater is east of Ascalon City (due east of the Serenity Temple). I'm not sure about one to the southwest. In any case, if you haven't seen the one east of the Serenity Temple, you should make the trip, it's worth it for the view...

Genosha · Mar 25, 2005, 06:00 AM // 06:00

Okay I saw you site...LOL I might say that you have seen a lot..Including the Grand canyon....

But being a little off topic. Did you have to do the That's 70's Lynx?

And is that the Crystal that you were talking about?

Sausaletus Rex · Mar 25, 2005, 07:27 AM // 07:27

The coolest thing I've seen? Well, that's an easy one. There are many cool and interesting sites I've seen in my long and sundry ramblings across Tyria but the coolest single moment has to have been that moment I first logged in with my alpha account and popped up right smack dab in the middle of Lion's Arch. My character rendering amid the sight of a gorgeous foutain, it's gentle, watery sound the first to fill my speakers, just behind me and a gigantic, impossibly under-supported ancient castle soaring into the clouds in front of me. That pale, sun-blasted, ivy-coated stone told me that this was a world full of magic and power and ancient and terrible things and that it was all right there just in front of me. Mine to explore and to examine as I wished.

Oh, and then the chat started and it was off to kill Tengu.

But, remember, this was back in October. Back before any BWE. Back before the WPE. Back when the last time I'd played had been months before during E3. Back when no one outside of the test had ever seen Lion's Arch.

Genosha · Mar 26, 2005, 07:00 AM // 07:00

IF this were a contest you would win that's Cool....

Ranis Harlequin · Mar 26, 2005, 07:16 AM // 07:16

Easily the coolest thing is the detail; from swaying trees to shadows and snow.

For me, I'd say the fact that you can see your breath when it's cold is definitely cool.

William of Orange · Mar 26, 2005, 07:45 AM // 07:45

My vote would either have to go with Gwen's Rampage, or the first time that I set foot on our Guild Hall Island (Hunter's Island). The mountains, the streams, the awesome looking moon which provides good backdrops for screenshots...

A+

Elonis · Mar 26, 2005, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Gwen's Apocalypse hands down with Rurik in second followed by the searing. As of this time.

Azrael · Mar 26, 2005, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Haven't played the game yet, but the coolest thing I've seen is either the screens of Gwen burning stuff or of the bone dragons (I want one as a pet!).
