That time I single-handedly stopped the enemy ghostly hero from capturing the altar in HoH for a full 30 seconds, using nothing but distracting shot under quickening zephyr, for the win. Keep ignoring the ranger please.

Whipping 1 team in pvp in about 4 secs, and also holding the altar at the HoH until we were blitzed with 10secs to go. It was wicked

DaRhino · Jun 25, 2005, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Haha, nice. Keep em comin' everyone!

Once when I had around 20 scarabs (the ones in the magguma jungle, can't remember their names right now) attacking me while my party completely ignored me and I kept healing for ages until eventually they all died and I was still healing myself.

You gotta stop ignoring the monks people.

Hmm..................................several.

- In Fissure of Woe once, we had two monks in the party, but one left a second before we gave Balthazar the money. So we had only one monk. We went for the group up north, but we accidentaly hit that two man patrol, and got clobbered. Only the monk and a warrior survived. The monk kept trying to rez me, and between the warrior and monk's distractions, I ressurected the entire party, killing two Shadow Warriors along the way. Nothing TOO special, but it felt awesome. Felt worthwhile.

- UW, doing a three man smite run. Started with 5, a monk and another nuker quitted early. Again, nothing too special, but again, it feels good taking out 5 smite crawlers almost single-handedly.

- UW, after failure after failure, never reaching even the village, I went with a party of complete UW virgins, other than me, of course. I took complete command, and we kicked ass. Ironically, I screwed it up by taking a quest, something that I told everyone else not to do. I didn't know that the Escort of Souls quest spawned those mobs of Mindblades, and unfortunately, they spawned about two feet away from a healer and a nuker, both of whol were afk. I think you all can guess the rest. Felt embarassed, but was still funny.

winning twice 3 rounds in tombs with a random grp of 4 people and 4 henchies - especially the 6 teams maps and the king of the hill were tough but fun.

βlitzkrieg · Jun 26, 2005, 02:17 AM // 02:17

When we beat Koreans in HoH in a record (for us) 1:12.

MasterWS · Jun 26, 2005, 03:08 AM // 03:08

When a guy took the last crystal at Elona's and got afk and made us fail the mission ...

Lews · Jun 26, 2005, 03:25 AM // 03:25

When we took 1 hour to beat Burial Mounds. But it was flawless dammit! We just hid behind the walls, and if anyone came inside we nuked them. We kept healing each other, and eventually went after the last team.

Also, in burial mounds, being the next to last team, and charging them. THen they just all disappeared and it says 'victory,' and then running into Henchmen team all the way to HoH and loosing it in the last 5 secounds by being body blocked.

In Lion's Arch steamrolling through a team of 2 mesmers and 2 necros with my W/Me. Watching them pull out every anti-warrior hex in the book, Imagined Burden, Life Transfer, Empathy, Ineptitude, you name it, and smacking every single one down with hexbreaker. That was pretty cool.

CAT · Jun 26, 2005, 05:29 AM // 05:29

Messing around with an all draining/smiting build. All of our team died except me (necro/monk). First i snuck back, took out the enemy priest AND ghostly hero with draining spells. Then i switched back, ressed my entire team and we won.

Draining FTW

DaRhino · Jun 26, 2005, 05:35 AM // 05:35

These are pretty good.

Must hear more!

Sekkira · Jun 26, 2005, 05:36 AM // 05:36

Not really interesting, but:

- Beating the bonus and main mission for Elona Reach with only henchies, after countless failed attempts with PuGs.

- Making it all the way through Snake Dance and Lornar's Pass with only henchies and clearing out all the enemies in the way to do so.

A sense of accomplishment is felt at those two points.

Tuna · Jun 26, 2005, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Beating a full team in GvG in under 1 minute

Also, and match near an hour in GvG is enough to be considered excellent.

CAT · Jun 26, 2005, 05:56 AM // 05:56

Also, fighting against a korean team in a hoh alter match. We were holding it and they killed us, sat there without taking alter. We ressed again, held off for another minute and slowly died. They didnt take alter. Ressed again, and we died again. They didnt take alter for the entire 10 minutes and we won.

Mister Glue · Jun 26, 2005, 05:57 AM // 05:57

Once when I was playing with my guild in HoH, we were doing the 6-team battle and were one of the last 3 teams left. We were facing two French teams (they were both speaking French and from Europe, so we assumed they were French) who decided to work together and gang up on us because we were American (or that's what I got from their convo - I wasn't able to decipher most of it but I could understand enough to realise we were going to be hit hard). Well they both attacked with suprisingly good timing, but to our suprises, we held both of them off and killed enough of their teams that they backed off. I guess it was a good thing we were trying out a defensive build

. Unfortunately we lost about 5 minutes later because no one was doing anything so we decided to attack. They both ganged up on us again and we dropped. It was still fun though.

Oh, and just today I beat the Gates of Kryta mission alone after all of my team quit. Good thing I had done the mission 50 times over so I knew what to do.

And one last thing - Beating the last mission in the game with henchies after failing 3 or 4 times with human teams because we suffered a lag spike in the exact same spot every time.

1. Everyone left my party at Frost Gate at the last part where you have to kill the boss and his minions, and then plug in the three gate pulley things. Solo'd it at level 9, even the guildy who was rushing me said it was impossible. :P

2. Winning HoH when we thought it was impossible.

3. Winning a round in the HoH levels when we were 2 Monks down.

4. Rushing guildies and friends through the first few missions in a matter of minutes.

Ryoushi · Jun 26, 2005, 06:21 AM // 06:21

OH MAN! Have I got some good ones.

1. Trip to Temple of Ages with a PuG, all of us around level 14 or 15. We got all the way to the Black Curtain with minimal problems, but then those huge undead mobs really started taking a toll on us. So we all ran it with 60% DP, and each time we hit a mob, one of us dropped off as a sacrificial lamb. We made it to the Temple of Ages with two people left and about 50 health each.

2. In HoH, we were playing against a few other American teams and two European ones. We slaughtered our first team (also American) and soon found that we were the only American team left. We had a 30 MINUTE (yes, 30 friggin minutes) stand off with the other teams while we decided who to attack. Eventually we rushed purple, but the yellow guys then stormed our shrine and killed our priest. We ran back to base quickly and ressed everyone while they fought it out. Purple won, then we rushed them and fought a lengthy battle. I think the total time of the match was around 1 hour 30 minutes.

3. Singlehandedly saved my party's ass near the end of Borlis Pass with a level 9 Ranger/Mesmer. There were a few Stone Summit Crushers and an ice golem left. With strategic use of Troll Unguent, chaos storm, and power shot I was able to beat them.
