So what were your great memories of the game?
So very, very many ...
-Skating down the frozen Red River, much safer when level 6 than ...
-Jumping over a rock on follow, landing far below in the Gulch, and getting dead from an Ogre's boulder before I hit the ground.
-Getting totally lost at night in the woods of Perez Park.
-The awe of watching a teammate, newly turned level 14, sail up and away in the Hollows after gaining their travel power. Not Fly as it turned out but Super Jump.
-Seeing, as I moved along the war wall of the Hollows, a huge herd and looking up to see a Stormie, Hurricane roaring, leading them onward.
-%&*$@#& Pumicites are fast!
-Seeing a couple "swat team looking dudes" in King's Row and then conning some extremely purple +44 Malta enroute to ambush someone.
-%&*#@&* Warwolves are fast!
-Nearly falling out of my chair when the Council Boss my friend and I were fighting in IP turned into a Warwolf.
-Seeing Lusca for the first time.
-Another friend and I laughing hysterically over teamspeak while his character died. Did that Redcap really just toss a Goblin on his head?!?
-Successfully stopping 30 Firbolgs solo on my Claws/SR.
-Lining up a marching row of Council Mechs in Striga ... then racing into and thru them with Repel up and running.
-The total awesomeness of a team of 8 Empaths blowing thru +4 foes like a blow torch thru butter long before IO's entered the picture. Long live the Lean Green Nuking Machine of RO Network's Green Machine.
-Fighting 2 level 47 Fake Nemesis bosses to a standstill on my level 42 Broadsword/Regen scrapper.
-Forgetting my then low 40's Claws/SR had popped Elude while hovering above a whole mess of level 52 Freaks herded up for slaughter in a dumpster. Wow did I die quick
-All alone in the Hive, badge hunting, seeing the giant blob of jello sometimes know as Hamidon for the first time.
-The first time I entered the Shadow Shards. Then hovering all the way to the Storm Palace.
Doomguide
Hmmmmm.
- Trying to get through the old Hollows.
- Doing so, seeing a Spectral Demon Lord for the first time on my (much lower, very new, first) character at a distance and deciding "Um... big, nasty looking floating skeleton thing - I think I'll go over this way instead."
- Getting used to getting around the hollows - sure, the edge may take longer, but I *don't get stuck in the gulch!*
- Getting stuck on my Fire tank (lowbie still) between two sorcs with Hurricane running. Amusing to watch, not so much to be....
- First Shard TF. "Everything's black..." Didn't finish, only had 3 characters left at the end... way back when.
- Seeing my first PB in Nova in the Hollows. "Ooh... what's that?"
- Rolling my first PB, a continuation of my first 50, elec/elec blaster. Rerunning missions. "Hi, Envoy, remember me? Mez? Pfft. Dwarf." Have loved Khelds - esp. Peacebringers, since.
- Multiple teams of heroes fighting Lusca. Often.
- End-of-beta-PVP. Masses in... where were we, siren's? Oh, the lag....
- PVP in Siren's Call in general.
- My PB and our running "grudge" with a Stalker, peek-a-boo. "Oh, look at the cute little stalker." (Had to read her bio to know that. We got along.)
- First PVP fight... PB vs a brute. Caught me at a meteor. I changed to Dwarf. His reaction - "Mommy....." Guess he hadn't seen that before - kind of fought to a standstill.
- My MA/Regen Stalker vs a Stone tank... that was a long fight, but even his friends kept telling him "She (my stalker) has you, you're dead, just give up already."
- Same stalker, one loudmouth DA scrapper... who couldn't fight. Go after him, he'd hide in a Stormy's hurricane.... until his team got sick of him and abandoned him. I don't think he got to rez before someone re-stomped him.
- More PVPRP... kinda. One SG-mate (who.... well, let's just say wasn't well liked) on his Ice 'troller.... same one that kept putting Frostbite on Earthquake and the like. Me... on my stalker. His team basically didn't help - less so seeing the fairly obvious "villain side of the same SG" and stuff being said, RP-related... but not really... in broadcast/local to him. And someone from the Kheld group just sitting back and watching... OK, maybe not nice, but it was a *real* stress reliever.
- Yes, more PVP. Namely, fun (pre-inventions) with my En/en Brute... like having people try to TP Foe her repeatedly over an hour and *just not getting* it wasn't going to happen. Or having someone broadcast "Look out for Feliney Assault... her stuns are brutal." (Slotted for duration.) Or being called "that <censored> stalker!" more than once... on that same brute.
- My Fire/Kin Corruptor, another corr and (I believe) a dom holding Siren's Call all by our lonesome against something lke 3:1 odds... eventually, more heroes, so we got overwhelmed, but we really held out a long time.
- Stalkers thinking my PB was an easy kill... not in dwarf, fella.
- Holding off a team of villains on my PB for several minutes... yeah, getting slowly whittled down, but still, lasted longer than I thought.
- Seeing Croatoa in beta. "Hey... they're fighting each other... and they're actually dying!" - then wondering if that was going to be an exploit.
- Successfully having zero Fir Bolg escapes in "that mission."
- "Defending the henge" by just Wormholing a Fiend across the map... repeatedly.
- Cuppathon.
- "I have.... how much debt? 37 is how far away?"
- Going from 0 to 1.1 million debt in one hami raid. Of course... 50, so who cared.
- Getting thanked out of the blue by a redname for the work I was putting into the set of MA tutorials in the guides section during beta.
- Getting recognized in game by other players when I'm on (or mention) one of my versions of MB.
- Never having that recognition be negative. ("Oh, you're HIM, why you so-and-so...." )
- The HBSS. The LoC. RO.
- Everyone. Especially having such awesome devs.
I've played since launch, and in that time have had many great memories, and have met many great people here,
-back in the day hydra hunting in PP
-the original winter lord event
-the old hami raids
-going through various task forces for the various TF's and SF's for the very first time
-the first time I made 50 on one of my ALts
-the first time my Plant/Thorn Dom took Carrion Creepers, and was overwealmed by its awesome sauce, I had no idea what it did, or even if it was effective at the time, but man it looked impressive
-going through the rogue islands, and falling in love with the Red Side
