When you had to type out all your skills in team chat?

I remember when the game was dead. It seems like it was only yesturday....

Definately the funniest thing ever was the monk strike at thunerhead keep. Didn't they even temp ban the people who started it? You know something's wrong with the core game design when they literally are forced to ban people just for dancing

But honestly my fondest memories are just me learning RA monking back in prophecies as a noob. Starting out getting my butt kicked, then putting sprint on my bar and trying to run away from people while my party got killed, then trying an armor of earth monk build to survive the warriors (which was before people had the sense to rip enchants so it surprisingly worked well), to finally actually getting good and figuring out builds before they became popular. Then boon prot hit, and was pretty much the only 4v4 build all throughout factions

I remember when the Asian guilds didn't care about the metagame, and won anyways.

I <3 nostalgia, especially 05-06 ^___^

I remember Asian guilds running Mo/W in TA during boon prot days years before WoH tanks became the standard for monks in 4v4.

greep · Jun 14, 2011, 01:38 PM // 13:38

well, WoH tanks were only superior in 4v4 when it both became self-targettable and boon was nerfed, that's why it become a standard later. Boon just had so much burst heal and Hex removal with CoP.

Edit: Okay, in RA. In TA I could see it blowing everyone away in stuctured 4v4 with a support.

thanks for that insightful and highly knowledgeable input, but you missed my point.

Love this topic, especially cause i didn't play back then i guess. What would really be great is if you guys added some pictures of things that were.

i remember reading the prophecies box for the first time at gamestop and seeing "cripple them with hamstring and rain fire down upon them with firestorm---a deadly combination"

and i was so eager to go home and try that out

Ewokki · Jun 22, 2011, 01:22 PM // 13:22

I remember....

Being a noname rank 200 or so guild, steamrolling Rus Corp and I Clan I with a gimmicky SB/RI spike build.

The first Dragon Festival when there was an actual invasion xD Still got my original mask sat on a char i think.

A pressure build of 2x Bunny Thumpers, 2 boon prots (MoR, edrain, or one of the many otehrs), tainted necro, mes of some sort, ward ele, ranger runner.

Rerolling PvP characters because you forgot a rune or weapon mod.
Manually entering attributes and skills.

Forgetting to infuse your new armour and wiping in no time at all.

Bleh, and so many more xD

ValeV · Jun 28, 2011, 04:08 PM // 16:08

I remember how my friend played in TA as 2 sins (shattering assault and some other spam build) and 2 smiting monks (double divine favor heals). They won every battle.

I remember when I first played Guild Wars. Killing those Ibogas outside Spamadan, asking in chat what "WTB" and "WTS" means...
I wish I could go back and never bought this game.

makosi · Jun 29, 2011, 11:43 PM // 23:43

I remember Paraway HA at the start(ish) of Nightfall. They held HoH for so long that the only thing that could defeat it was the players' fatigue/hunger.

That prompted the pulverization of the motigon.

I remember when sword warriors were using mending.

I just got back into guild wars after a long hiatus. I was an avid player before the release of EotN. The past week or so i have been discovering the changes made to this game in the eyes of an old schooler.
first off:
-wtf hundred blades is useful?
-i dont need charm animal anymore to have a pet out??
-warrior/mo suck (or just outdated), the first thing i had in mind was going to face roll some peeps with my MH and HH

one good outcome i have noticed is people flock back to FA and JQ. I had previously never been in a JQ match dispite playing for 5 years. People or at least luxons(i think) claimed it to be bugged and no one would queue.

i ported to Droks to chat it up but when i went there, it was a ghost town. I was like whaaa.... the mighty droks is a wasteland!?

well now that im pretty much up-to-date i can foundly say i remember:
-black dyes being like 4-5k at the trader and farming them in presear was wtg

- rush a new lvl 10 or lower char to droks and getting 1k temp armor and capping VoM BR on my war and pwning up to 70+winnings in a row matches, and then logging onto my ranger and continuing the same with my nice big polar bear and poison arrow.

-farming minotaurs in elona and blessed griffions outside of rankor, and also farming outside druids overlook.

-thundredheads almost giving me an anuerysm

- pwning glint and making you feel like a pvp god..before sorrows

-thinking my Victo's axe was the baddest shit in the world (i still have it, customized to me)

-running places took skill because only a warrior could do it (sometimes a ranger)

-15k platemail ( besides fow) made you a warrior king

- people qqed about discord in pvp

beating shiro was a gd pain the in ass and the other previous missions

-getting the ultimate fabled FELLBLADE, the weapon of all who a somebody (i was surpised now that i can log on and buy one for like 20-30k)

-knowing superior absorb runes where the most expensive things in the world (and never finding one until they made it a cheap ass warrior only rune that wasnt stackable

god so much nostalgia
