Well mine?

1) when an assassin called me a noob in AB, later in the match I slaughtered him in a 1 on 1 duel, then I danced on his corpse. ( cause Im evil )

2)I challenged an arrogent warrior in my guild to a 1 on 1, little did he know I was R/N. ( I know it was unfair, but he was asking for it)

3) At RA when an assassin ran up to my Me/A thinking I was easy prey, Little did he know I was an illusionary weapon assassin, u guess what happened next.

This one happened in the Dragon Arena.

I could tell right off something was not good, half the team left, and the rest just left one by one, down to the last guy, an AFK.

At this point we had only a four or five kills, and our team was thinking about to do, me I don't care if it takes all night I am not lettitng an afker win, so we start to camp, the rest of the team slowly leaves , now it is just down to me and one other, we have a nice conversation interupted by the ocassional need to hit the afker.

A long time ago I was running a taint necro for an unranked IWAY team. We got o Scarred Earth and was up agianst a r6 Ranger Spiker --Guild Team--. We go in everyone on my team is dead so with like 2 people left I figured wtf we got Pw3nZored 1337 so I might as well grab a rez orb and see if I can drop it and rez everyone without them noticing. Well on the way back --everyone died but me-- I was running with the rez-orb and the opposing R-spike team circled around me and block me. So for like 30 seconds I'm stading in the middle of a full 8 man r6 guild R-spike team with a rez orb. They all flash their r6 emotes. And after they did that I noticed "Hey, there is a corpse right there." So while they flashed their emotes agian I used Consume Corpse and landed slightly off the altar, dropped the ord. That rezzed everyone. The R-spike must have been shocked out of their cocky minds and we caught them off guard and took them out in like 1:30. They were all just liek WTF WTF WTF. It was the greatest shiznit ever!

Click on the pic for enlarged view

Ok, well the story with this first image is it took place during one of the long holds that mTv used to have, The Noble Savage was spirit spamming on the side of the two teams fighing (this was a four way by the way meaning that yellow did not have to fight anyone) Anyways, so noble is spirit spamming on the side of the two teams fighting to draw out their match and prevent us from having to fight them.

Then for some reason since yellow did not have to fight anyone they rush past the alter and straight for Noble, for some reason they thought it'd be a good idea to kill him.

Anyways I say we should body block them all that'd be so funny, so we did. The two teams that were fighitng eventually finsihed and made some remarks towards yellow getting everyone body blocked I beleive someone said somehting along the lines of "I never realized there were people stupider then iway".

(Notice the "Time Remaining")

This next picture comes from around a week ago when halls was very weird, This guy in the photo joins the game wtih around 10 seconds remaining, but that's not all.

The funniest part of the whole story was I guess since once he got in ten seconds wasn't quite long enough for him and he decided to stay...past the timer...yes that's right after the chest dropped the items and the time until next match timer started counting down he was still there. Our guild found this quite entertaining as you can see from Wannabe's reaction in guild chat lol.

I don't know if these were really my favorite or most memorable times in Halls but these are some stories I thought the community would find entertaining.

In GvG 36 mi isn't THAT bad.

However, I've gone up to 2 hours in RA. Once we just got bored and started talking. Another time it was my boonprot vs a runner.

Yea, I think that he was refering to TA/RA battles. BTW, where did you get these numbers? by watching them all?

Blow Up Doll · Jul 03, 2006, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Getting to lvl 19 and 3/4 on my ranger and going for survivor title then having a teammate do an edge bomb. I dropped in under a second.

Having a gvg (we were in the top60 so it was serious) and our adren spike isn't working. We get raped. Someone watches the replay. Our hammer warrior goes in for a spike. Dev + Crushing = 5 damage total. ??? WTF ???
He changes to axe for building adren and starts hitting for 30-50 dmg on normal hits. He had 15 in axe and a bar of hammer skills. He tried to keep it quiet and hope no-one would notice as he was so embarrassed lol.

phasola · Jul 04, 2006, 12:09 AM // 00:09

going as infuser in tombs with 13 in smite 0 in channeling
i wondered why my channeling only lasted like 5 secs
funny thing, the first map we were up vs r spike and we won, and i didnt notice i have 13 in smite until the 3rd map or so

Stixxx · Jul 07, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

My first highlight is winning a gvg with a rank 900 against We Are Your Friends (rank 82 at that time) +25 ftw!

Second highlight:
We were doing a gvg against a rank 200ish airspike team on the Imperial Isle. I was playing cripshot ranger and was in charge for gankers, splits and an occasional flag. They put a flag in, I put a flag in and then didnt run anymore flags for quite some time, they were hugging the flagstand tho and bodyblocking me, so they managed to get an early morale boost. The had a very good spike and we were dropping like flies. So i decided to go on an offensive split along with the 2nd warrior to try to pull their team apart.

While we were running to their base the warrior gets spiked and i was all alone lol. I kept going and started killing archers. It seemed that they couldnt care less about me because no one came back for me. At that time my team managed to kill half the team and pushed them back. By the time they got back in their base i had killed of all the archers and a bodyguard and VoD was coming up. ^^ We on that GvG , and i had a Biiiiig smile on my face

Khift · Jul 12, 2006, 09:10 AM // 09:10

My ladder team was playing FC Air Spike on Burning Isle. I was on a BL AProt monk.

After loading in and proceeding to the flagstand we find that our opponents are running Triple Smite. We fan out and begin to spike their thumpers down, but a number of factors allow them to slowly whittle us down and almost force a wipe.

(1. Poor kiting on the part of some of our mesmers. 2. All of their smiters and their boonprot had prot spirit and they all used it liberally. 3. At one point our flagger did not inform us monks that he was headed in to cap the stand until he was on his butt in the lava with two thumpers smashing his face in and he was unfortunately killed and they boosted because of that. 4. They were fairly decent at disrupting spikes with their KD. 5. Our spike was pretty off largely because it was our first real fight of the night.)

We fall back slowly still failing to force a wipe on their end and quickly find ourselves with our backs to our bodyguards taking massive smite damage due to the heavily confined area. We then lose our bodyguards and suffer a near complete wipe with the only people left alive being myself and the flagger who was out 1v1'ing against the enemy flagger at the stand and doing a pretty good job of it.

Seeing that the battle is lost I inform my team that it is now time for me to go solo their Guild Lord. After all, monks are the best solo class, no? So I run through their team and head off towards the flagstand leaving our Guild Lord all alone and lo and behold their entire team runs after me like bats out of hell. About halfway towards the flagstand the rest of my team rezzes at base and I turn around and bob and weave through their thumpers and pets to rejoin my team.

My team's leader/caller suddenly gets an idea: If their entire team followed a lone monk out, what would they do if our entire team ran out to the flagstand? With absolutely nothing to lose we did just that. (If we stayed and tried to fight the same fight as before but now with extra DP we would have no chance of coming out on top.) Myself and my fellow monk stay back in a futile attempt to delay the enemy long enough for the rest of our team to pull out a win.

To our collective amazement their entire team does not just start pulling back to the flagstand to meet us they also get strung out, confused, and disoriented in the process of doing this. My team stops at the flagstand and begins to spike their separated and confused members down one by one. As soon as I realize that only one thumper and one smiter is left at our base I leave my partner monk to help the team at the stand. He later joins us at the stand once those two head in that direction as well. And, as if it wasn't enough that we were now spiking them down and starting to put DP on them the hard work our flagger had done for us payed off in the same moment giving us a timely morale boost.

The opposing team wiped, rezzed at base, charged out to meet us again and was this time soundly squashed at the flagstand which caused them to turtle in their Guild Lord area in the hope of winning at VoD. Our team circled around them constantly spiking at their NPCs and other targets of opportunity and eventually managed to kill off all but one archer and the guild lord. They made a last charge at us which was again squashed and we went on to kill their Guild Lord.

In short, because of a single bad call (A moronic call, even) by the opposing team's leader the match turned entirely around and the fight was lost. It was the most fun I'd ever had in a GvG fight, seeing the tide turn so quickly and so brutally against them, it was just amazing. It's a fight I don't think I'll ever forget for as long as I play GW.

And the best part? I FRAPS'd the whole thing!

Although it isnt one moment in particular...

My fav moment is inspiring Deep Freeze as a monk, and then casting it on a warrior as he charges to adren spike, then emoting as he walks to me 66% slower tryin to wand to keep up adren ;p

Divineshadows · Jul 14, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

Fondest memory in GvG

- Beating a rank 350ish ranger spike on Burning Isle as a monk and reaching 60% DP on multiple occassions but still contributing to the team (via hard rez) by keeping prot spirit on myself at all times. Eventually won the match in VoD (somewhere between 30 and 35 minutes) by splitting off with the offensive squad to go gank the lord and constantly e-draining the air ele they kept back to try to stall while cleansing blindness quickly off my warrior.

Winning with only three players on your team (a 3v4 match) in TA. Its been happening a lot lately, but I do particularly enjoy winning when the odds are against my team. Here are some of the more memorable ones:

- Faced a SB/RI spike team in TA with a shock axe, cripshot ranger, and blessed light monk. Had only one death on the ice priest map and had the opposition whine afterwards that we packed counters so that is why we beat them 3v4. And they had no idea that the player we had had err7 the match before was our oath shot/Nature's Renewal/Tranquility/trapper player...which quite frankly owns hex builds by himself almost.

- Faced a dual smite, boon prot, thumper team in TA with a shock axe, cripshot ranger, and a blessed light monk. Won flawlessly in 5 1/2 minutes on the jungle map. Again, it was our NR/tranq player that had err7ed which meant we had basically had nothing to punish enchantments (and no enchantment removal for that matter) and won by kiting like mad.

- Faced a traditional balanced team in TA -- melee, dom mesmer, anti-melee, and boon prot with a e-denial mesmer, an ineptitude mesmer, and a boon prot. Our migraine player had err7ed which again is the key player in the build for shutting down a dom mesmer in that situation.

Back in the days when I used to do HA and filling in my guild group with PUGs:

- Asking a Mo/N that had agreed to run SB/infuse what he used for energy management? Upon getting no response, I ask "Devotion Sig?". He finally responds, "I sit around regenerating [energy] and when people start to die I pick up the slack." I nearly bust a lung from laughter and tears. Definately far more memorable than any of my halls wins.

Pitha · Jul 14, 2006, 11:12 PM // 23:12

I have some favorite GvG´s.... but GvG that stayed in my mind was, when we won at 3! people and 3 henchmen... againts normal 8 people build... we rushed their Lord and we killed him

I think I pugged with you a few times back then. Always a great group because not only are you good at what you do, you were also concentrating on what everyone else should be doing. Also, <3 lobo. Haven't talked to him in months, but he's still on my friends list

Yunas Ele · Jul 18, 2006, 11:49 PM // 23:49

1) First HoH win. Ended up winning 3 times in a row too.

2) Back when I ran my fire modded IWAY we vsed a balled up b-spike. My 20% fast cast triggered on 5 spells in a row, thus I was able to unleash a brutal, fast casted fire nukes onto the enemy, killing them all. I pretty much soloed the entire team.

3) Almost winning HoH with henchway. We beat an unranked IWAY pug that had 2 henchies (we had 4) and then got a skip to HoH. HooD was holding and the other team was a german b-spike. Us and the b-spike did a heavy load to HooD but HooD managed to spike down the b-spike's ghost. Soon as the b-spike's ghost died they started spiking down my henchway team... We got our ghost on the alter though and he came | | to capping like 3 times but HooD still had a ranger up so gg us and then the b-spike eventually spiked down our ghost. Would of been so sad if we won, 16v4, the 4 person team winning, GFG.

When I used to do AB, I'd sometimes roll a Mo/R. Monks get the living daylights hexed out of them, so Melandru's Resilience can sometimes make you virtually invincible. But I also packed Distracting Shot and a bow for my secondary weapon. DS is lovely because it doesn't require any attribute points to give the interrupt and 20-second disable. So, I'd target somebody and start attacking with my bow. thwap, thwap, thwap... I'd only be doing 2 or 3 damage, but it would annoy them and get them to focus on me. Once they were about to cast something, I'd nail them with DS. It was hilarious. I interrupted a Barrage Ranger once, and I'd get ele spells all the time. Smacking a Mesmer with DS during a Diversion cast is very satisfying too. My favorite one with the Monk though was against a ranger who was chasing me away from a shrine. She stopped to cast Apply Poison, and I immediately hit her with Distracting. She just stood there for a couple seconds, then ran away, pride no doubt hurt.

People don't realize the sheer damage an Enraged Lunge thumper can do. If you just stand there and take it, I can kill anything below a warrior in less than 15 seconds, and only a few seconds more for warriors. I love blindbot eles who put Flash on me and then stand there thinking they're safe. When they get hit for 120 two seconds later, they realize their mistake.

I went 1 on 1 with a hammer warrior today on my thumper. Poor guy. I'm sure he charged me thinking he was going to show me how it's done. Well, if that was any indication...

Hitting a frenzied Warrior with Enraged Lunge and smacking his ASS for 180 damage, then watching him run away with his tail between his legs.

I smile a sadistic smile whenever my victim throws up an evasive stance. They never did the math:

Wild Blow > Gladiator's Defense
Wild Blow > Escape
Wild Blow > Melandru's Resilience
Wild Blow > Lightning Reflexes
Wild Blow > Whirling Defense
Wild Blow > Distortion
Wild Blow > Bonetti's Defense

...the list goes on and on.

Having a Mesmer cast Ineptitude on me. I simply follow him around without attacking until it wears off, as if I were making acquaintence or something, then wail on his ass.

Playing my wammo (I Succor two teammates and then run a zero-energy Battle Rage adrenal attack), I went in on an e-denial mesmer. I'm sure her dying thought was how the hell she cast Energy Burn, energy Surge, and ether Feast in rapid succession and got nothing in result but an ass kicking. Tsk.
