Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Monk strike due to how they were being treated. I think it specifically centered around Thunderhead Keep. Edit: Found a video of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The overall sense of exploration and journey I got as I worked through a campaign. GW2 for all it does right, rarely ever had that because of how “small” the World is (travel method wise, not size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necros were more sought after than Monks.. or should i say, monks had no use.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShark.9548 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 My account was hacked (after gw2 release) and when i logged back into gw1 after quite a while, i saw that some characters were missing armor pieces (mostly those that had the 50hp rune on them) My ritu (who i barely ever played) was sitting at the underworld entrance in prophecies with event items in her inventory (i never logged in at that event), so i guess it was used for farming, or rather botting... And the worst thing, my main, who was a monk, and had most titles and some almost finished, like 3-4 maps in elona only missing for a hardmode clear was deleted for some reason? Cartographer on proph, cantha, elona finished etc. Anet said that they couldnt find any unusual IP logins and refused to rollback the account... Thats why i dont like to think about it very often. But in 4-5 years ive played there are also alot of good memories, especially the faction fights between luxon and kurzick which i have done hundreds. All for luxon ofc.

Teratus.2859 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I really enjoyed watching Dhuum spring out of the ground and murder-ban people :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury ranique.2170 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 My favourite was a bug. There is a monthly flux in PVP. It is a mechanic to spice things up and make matches differently. In october this is minion apocalypse. Any time a player dies, all nearby creatures are struck for 50 damage and a level 20 masterless bone horror is spawned. To showcase this effect, it is also active in outposts for PvP. In outposts, player skills (including heal skills) are disabled. But there was also a situation where Dhuum would pop up out of the ground to kill a player in an outpost (with ressurection disabled) to showcase a suspension of the players account. As this counts as a kill, the monthly flux would trigger and spawn a minion. This would attack other players and spawn even more minions, eventually killing everyone in the outpost.

Vayne.8563 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have a lot of good memories of Guild Wars 1. Beating DOA with my wife, each of us with 3 of our heroes. Also once, we were in the underworld (not the DOA one but the one from Tomb of Primeval Kings) and we both died, but Acolyte Jin was still alive, my ranger her. I flagged her back and played her until everything was dead, then had her rez everyone else and we were able to complete it. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The first time our guild did the quest to get to the Eye of the north with all those mobs appearing on the run there and our monk swearing on TS the more mobs that spawned. It was really early in the morning for us, and I can remember feeling really tried from having played the night before, waiting for the shaking screen ingame to tell us we could start. It was a 'you had to be there moment' but i had never laughed so much. But there are many many, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psientist.6437 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I had played other mmos before GW1 but never socialized, I am not social. There was something about GW1, perhaps it was the level of player agency available to everyone, that encouraged me to connect with people. Perhaps it was synchronized dancing. Perhaps the game was just fun enough. I met one of my dearest friends in GW1 and it is one of the reasons I still support the studio and GW2.
