Epic would be similar to what I imagined Guild Wars would be like the first time I saw it advertised in PC Gamer Magazine years ago. Me and my fellow Guild Warriors and Battle Mages fighting through the trenches for hours on end - sometimes one step forward and two steps back - explosions all around - defending myself against summoned monstrosities - our Rangers working their way through the wood to secretly gather enemy positions and battle movements - Mesmers floating about putting the mind f**k on enemy Warriors, making them attack their fellow soldiers. The more experienced players huddled in an improvised command center, (camp?) planning attacks and defenses for our Guildhall - and having to logistically plan to get supplies, mana, siege equipment, and food to the front lines. Now that would be epic.

I was kind of let down that we wouldn't be having huge battles against other guilds. However beating Hells Precipice for the first time with a PUG after many tries and finally beating Prophesies felt sort of epic.

Playing without othering others, being fair, without using bad words, without calling anyone 'nub'...
Playing as a fair and logical gamer.

That's epic.

I suppose you could always try playing 48 hours non-stop, write a good bye letter about how you are the true hero of Tyria and then kill yourself. You might even make the news

Get a group of eight friends start a pre character. Finish the campaign. IF you die you can not come back to the group you are done they need to hire a hench to fill your shoes. If a hench dies they can not hire that same hench again. Good Luck No cross campaign skills only the campaign you are in.

More 8 + 8 missions would be cool.

hardcore hell-mode characters are epic

Organize a LARGE group to raise the most RANDOM rare material by buying the mats from a trader. OR crash the ecto market by selling all your ectos to the trader. Should make an epic lulz...

I wish they had somethign along the lines of battle of turai procession, or dzagonur bastion, except on a large scale. a much larger scale. kinda like an elite mission, where you would defened a castle (your guild hall?) against thousands of monsters. 12-26 players or so, and just fight them off. LotR style maybe or something. that would be awsome.

just fighting an army of guys with lots of friends on your side is pretty much what im looking for. but there is nothing close to the scale im looking for here ;(

unless someone knows of an awsome place or wants to set something up like this?

Yay for all The Princess Bride references!

General DS, try the quest The Undead Hordes. Try it in HM, try it using skills that would only have been available to characters up to Kryta, etc. That quest is awesome - many waves of undead! Whee!

There's another quest I only recently found for the first time, Protect the Learned. I found it while vanquishing and went ahead and tried it in HM with my h/h team. We got to 60dp in a hurry, but it had that waves upon waves feel of The Undead Hordes. I haven't yet managed to get all my friends together to go work on it, but I'm hopeful that someday a bunch of friends can go and fight the super-mob of Margonites.

THK used to have that great feel to it, but they ruined it. Now it's mostly standing around waiting, even in HM.

I'd say there are still some potential epic-feeling fights in Prophecies missions. The areas north and south of the boat in Sanctum Cay spring to mind. How about the Charr mobs in Ft. Ranik without using the siege weapons or opening the gate in Nolani? (HM of course) Don't forget the Titan missions from Glint. Try doing Noble Intentions in HM.

There's a quest in the explorable area of the Moon Fortress that gets you huge mobs of Kournan military to play with, but I can't remember the name or how to get it.

I think there's still potential for huge battles off the primary-storyline path. Gathering people that want to play and are willing to work together is the tricky part I find.

Here's hoping you find something epic!

Cheers,
Luny

Maybe get a team of wammo's whose only stance is frenzy and don't have any elites you know the ones you see in missions as frontline and the wammo's with WoH,Orison of Healing and Healing breeze with some other heals as semi backlinex2 (seen a few in ra)
See how far you could get...I'd say it would be physically painful but just somone differant.

Btw General DS, where you in a guild called Daoine Sidhe? (think i have the spelling correct.

Trvth Jvstice · Sep 16, 2008, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Talach, I'd bet a full group of experienced W/Mo's (not Wammo's) can beat just about any mission or quest.

Great ideas here.
i havent tried the protecting the learned yet i think, so ill go and check that out, as well as this quest in the moon fortress.
indeed, the undead hordes is a fun quest, did it my first time out near the beginning of guildwars launch, it was a nice long fight, and i failed many times ><

Thunderhead Keep was an awsome mission at first, but with the new expansions the things changed, and its lost its nice little touch

and thanks, i will continue my search :P

*EDIT*
oh my that margonite was is hard. especially in hardmode. i just got wiped with using H/H.

and i like the idea someone posted earlier, about creating a team of 8 people in pre, and if you die, you out of the group. kinda like a survivor team. who would like to do something like that?
