Favorite memory of Guild Wars 2

Some unique event taken place makes some experience more treasured than the others.

There have certainly been several memorable moments, but if we're talking favorite, I think that would have to be the first Beta weekend, because I was so excited to get into the game.

I played this game once at very start back when all cutscenes had "work in progress" written on them when the game very first arrived. I quit it though. and just recently got into it.

Well it has come a long way since then, and they don't even use that cut scene format anymore (for new story content).

How come

Many people didn't like the cut scene dialog (I personally enjoyed having a chance to see my character that well). Now all story dialog happens in game, with you still in full control of your character. You can even zoom in and go first person if you want to view character dialog from that perspective.

No Dowstate in WvW <3

Watching Teq melt to the guardian symbol bug

As a Guardian main, I wish I'd caught that one. :D

Launch day. I took a nap before release and had a dream about GW2, I played a Warrior in my dream and that's why Warrior was my first main. :) I am a real life Sylvari, I awoke from a dream to play GW2!

I only have memories of Gw1 pve/gvg/AB etc etc.

Gw2 is so temporary that its memories are reseted at the end of every week.

...watching cut scenes where the NPC ends up bald because their helm disappeared lol...always funny.

But if you want to know my fav GW1 memory...getting slaughtered by Necro Minions during cutscenes that removed master control.

It was glorious. Symbolic Avenger was bugged when they deployed the Trait revamp, and it basically gave each Guardian a 10% damage bonus for EACH symbol under the target. Something like 30-50 Guardians with Hammer Auto, and I saw single damage ticks as high as 100k.

The post fix trait actually still works the same way (2 symbols = double bonus), but it only recognizes your own symbols.

Yeah a friend had told me about it. I missed all the fun.

"Ok, now is the time to panic!" First time I ever laughed at something in an MMO.

Wait, that was GW1.

How about "The idea starts with "run for it" and generally goes downhill from there. " The second time I ever laughed at something in an MMO.

When we killed Scarlett Briar but her memory still exists through the over abundance of conditions!!!

I like it because of the graphics. I used play other mmo and the graphics flow more openly here. Visuals look really good. Unlike other games, you can look as different as you want. And the no sub is a big plus too, gives me more money.

End of the last lw, no other cutscene has ever made me laugh that munch.

Seeing the Risen Giganticus Lupicus for the first time.

The Lost Shores - First event to purge Southsun Island.

Despite the numerous crashes the concept of a 1 time live event where everyone and their family was at was very cool.

E-P-I-D-E-M-I-C. KA-BRAHM!!

That one?

Leveling up a character with my wife when I first got her into the game. Her shocked delight at helping take down world and story bosses are always the highlights of my time in GW2.

The night that I completed world exploration on my first toon...before they removed WvW maps from the requirement. It took me months but, when I finally got it, I opened up my hero panel and immediately assigned the "Been there, done that" title. Good times.

My favorite memory is of theory crafting new builds on my warrior and coming up with a longbow and sword/warhorn build for roaming in wvw back before metabattle existed.

Some LS1 things for me. Marionette and the Lion’s Arch bits. Wonderful stuff. I have loads of other great memories but these stand out.
