Post Your Most Embarrassing GW Moment! - Guild Wars Forums

Ludichris1 · Jul 30, 2010, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Did something really embarrassing happen to you on Guild Wars? Post it here! Please keep it Guild Wars related.
Here's mine:
First of all, I'm a ranger...

I was a noob (and still am) that had just boughten a bunch of scrolls and what not, to go on an Underworld party. Prior to that, I spent an hour or so just getting a few skills for the build I planned on using (that I found online): a trapper. I had never really used traps, because I didn't know how they worked, and they seemed quite slow. But I decided to use a trapper build, thinking the 'traps' were instantaneous debuffs (if that's the word) to enemy NPCs. I went for about an hour run standing behind my teammates using trap skills. I noticed I never really killed anything...

Later, when it was all over, I decided to look up traps some more, and decided to try them out more fluidly than I had before. I didn't know how they worked...

And so, when getting some Mandragors, I decided to test out a theory that putting down the traps, and drawing the creatures into the 'traps' (even though you can't see them) would set off the traps. I tried it, and when two Mandragor Slithers, ran into some traps I set, they got debuffed.

At that moment, I realized my complete noobness when I had gone to the Underworld >.<

But anyways, don't forget to post your most embarrassing moment!

usually in ra I'll say after an update.. hey you see that new pvp menu they put in- alt+f4

I had a guy drop on my own team once

Absolute Destiny · Jul 30, 2010, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Probably when I got a run to Yaks with my first character (prophecies) at level 17, and feeling like I'd accomplished something by getting there, having no knowledge of missions, the Wiki, or the fact that there was an actual storyline to follow, AND thinking there must not be much game left to play, since it took me three weeks of playing to get that far.

Yeah...nothing sank in until I started chatting with people with the above in mind.

thunder boy · Jul 30, 2010, 04:20 AM // 04:20

i had a moment back when Factions first came out with the assassin. i had gotten a hold of a GPB req 8 15^50 20/20 30 and i was spamming to sell. then a guy asked to see it outside to see the skin. of course i did and he walked some distance away where he started to drop and pick up items to show off i thought. then stupid me fell for it and dropped my GPB :-( lol still havent seen it since lol

Feathermoore Rep · Jul 30, 2010, 04:26 AM // 04:26

I second the huh. Stoned much???

But most embarrassing gw moment would be...going to cap a skill and after ten minutes realizing I was the wrong secondary. sigh.

Hah, this happents to me all the time. Sometimes ill go cap skills and forget to bring a cap signet. Other times, ill bring the signet but forget to change the secondary. Then there are other times when i have brought my signet, chosen the correct secondary, killed the boss, and then zoned out, forgetting to cap the skill.

There have also been a couple times in the past week (iv been doing a lot of VQs lately) when i have gotten 30ish minutes into a VQ just to realize that im doing it in NM. I think i did this both in the wajjun bazaar and in the skyway. And i was wondering why the "vanquishes" were going so well...

Zodiac Meteor · Jul 30, 2010, 04:38 AM // 04:38

I salvaged a req9 Demoncrest Spear from Frostmaws thinking it was junk. I salvaged 2 steel ingots when I could have gotten ~50e

Sparkmaster25 · Jul 30, 2010, 04:52 AM // 04:52

I would have to say the most Embarrassing thing I've ever done, is trying to vanquish and area, and getting half way through the vanquish doing awesome thinking I'm the greatest Vanquisher ever. Then Realizing I'm in Normal Mode.

Lord Dagon · Jul 30, 2010, 05:00 AM // 05:00

i would say the most emberessing thing i had done was when i was a noob i got ahold of a zkey.. and decided to see what the chest gave me. Now, me being a total noob, i went to the check and got an el gelatinous tonic out of it. now, from what i ahd been told about the game most of the green items in the game were junk. So, being a very disappointed guy i went into gtob and sold the el gel tonic for about 2k. 2 days later i was bragging to a friend how i 'miraciously got 2k off this moron in gtob by selling my el gel tonic." Thats when i found out it was worth 70~90e...

that had to be the worst day ever....

I know that feeling. My current record is going through one of the Prophecies desert missions four times before remembering to cap the skill I needed...

Suffice to say, the skill hunter title took a reaaaaaaaly long time for me.

Lithril Ashwalker · Jul 30, 2010, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Amy Awien · Jul 30, 2010, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Lol, I've forgotten to switch secondary before capping as well.

I don't know if it's allowed, but my most embarrassing MMO moment was in Perfect World when I got one of those rare bear-cup spawns - and there wasn't anybody else around to tame it - and then when it was time to call my pet back I used the wrong 'button' - and it killed the cup before it could be tamed.

Caw521 · Jul 30, 2010, 06:52 AM // 06:52

I brought meteor, phoenix, flare, and inferno wherever I went in my newbie days.

On a ranger.

More funny than embarrassing- Whenever I have to take a dump in the middle of something like Urgoz or the UW, and I don't "get back" until like, 20 minutes later.

With a vamp weapon.

That's just really annoying for your team.

Hahaha ……..and I thought it was only me!
Luckily we mostly go capping solo, so no-one need EVER know ^^

Yol · Jul 30, 2010, 07:37 AM // 07:37

+1 here for forgetting to change secondary and zoning before capping an elite from a boss....and for forgetting to select HM for doing a vanquish.

Its an internet meme, maybe link will clear up confusion and save PowerRAV blushes

On Topic: First time doing bloodstone fen I decided to heroically kill those druids that were killing my team, only to realise to my horror that after a 40 min mission I had just blown the bonus
