Most heroic thing you've ever done in pwi?

Every time I save a random squad from a wipe by making up for whatever the squad's idiot does and have to do it unhealed or with no support.

when i was on my barbarian when he was little, grinding up near gate of antiquity where the darkbreeds spawn, i saw a little veno sans pet being chased by about three wolves halfway back to the town. since i had my temporary flier, i ran over and took aggro, then flew up a bit to reset the mobs. c: she was thankful.

I defeated the Celeslord and put a stop to all the evil wraiths and saved Perfect World.

Go me! \o/

Awesome! b:victory

Hmm in all seriousness, the most heroic thing i've ever done in pwi... I save peoples ***** on a daily basis when they bite off more than they can chew no matter what toon I'm on. I was in fc on my psychic in a fail pull from the bishop boss to runewolf, being the beast I am I sacrificed myself to save the entire squad (except the fail seeker who failed the pull) so they were safe at the door to runewolf as long as they didn't move.

I don't consider my normal job of making sure no one dies in a dungeon a heroic act. It's just what I do.

Randomly healed a few people along the world map that were about to die to the mobs they were fighting.

^^ That's about the gist of my heroism, too. Oh, and rezing people I find scattered across the map. And the ground.

Dropping random heals, buffs and rezzes along the way to wherever I need to go. Not like my sage rez will do much good elsewhereb:chuckle I guess the odd purify to get rid of poison for people grinding spiders up north . . . More kindness than heroic. ;~;

Seeker isn't heroic at all, she just tanks everything provided no ones tries their utmost best to steal aggro and die.

23 hours & 50 min of straight bosses as the barb, instanced or not, for faction mates when Dreamweaver was about 1 week old, the only time(s) in between were those spent teleporting/repairing equipment.

runner up(s): much time has been devoted educating new players on various aspects.


cool thread

I've single tanked bosses after near squad wipes. I've helped randoms. I've saved desperate squads. That's kind of why I play the game and one specific time doesn't doesn't stick out.

But, one of the coolest heroic moments where I was saved was I was soloing a BH89 brim and a cleric friend asked if I wanted help. Sure! I had bloodpaint so I was doing pulls, stunning and killing on my own but a cleric is always helpful. Anyways, I watched her teleport in and continued to pull, but over did it and had way too many mobs that were all spread out.


She shows up and tosses me a Wellspring (grabs a bit of aggro herself) HPs away from the mobs that are attacking her and right next to me, hits AD for both of us (when AD was a squad buff), IHs me while its still active, runs past me to pull mobs in range and bubbles on the far side. She still had aggro of a few magic mobs and was tanking them like a boss but pulled them into my range for stun and AoE.

The HP/AD/IH stack/rounding mobs up and tanking/blue bubble combo was just so beastly and pro it made me go "hero!"

There was a joke in my group that all clerics were girls and all cleric's were passive aggressive Canadians. This one was all those sterotypes, but good. That made it extra funny.

This is one of the main reasons I wish AH was still a squad buff. I' used to save people with but now I can't. :P

Well, not really heroic, but in a Warsong squad once, we Leroy'd Metal, and when we finally stopped the squad wiped except for me, where my quick reactions and wise choice of actions saved me. xD

I don't think saving yourself really counts Skai. xD I'm sure you have plenty of instances where you helped others though. You've posted that kind of stuff in the past and you seem nice.

Heroics are a very relative thing, I think most veterans can tell tales of dying for clerics, holding the fort tanking or being chased around by a boss, and in general terms saving squads from wipes through some timely, sometimes altruistic, action.

I think however that, much like in the real world, real heroes are those making the world better for others in small ways. Soloing bosses for lowbies or giving up your share of loot to undergeared players, sometimes just taking the time to cheer up a friend or guildie who may seem down, even strangers. I've been very fortunate in terms of being on both ends of these small acts of kindness and I do get to see them often enough that it does make up for a lot of the greed, noobishness and even outright trolling that i see in a lot of squads.

The most heroic thing I've done in game has been standing up for others against bullies. There are plenty of scenarios that can make this difficult (tank threatening to leave, banker holding all mats, etc.) but usually you can count on someone having your back if you stand up for something fair.

I agree that those random acts of kindness are really what makes things nice. Although, I've never really thought of them as particularly heroic. I mean, I think we've all done them. And have been on the receiving end. To me, it seems unreasonable NOT to give a lowbie their drops for example. What am I gonna do with it?

Although you're awesome for standing to bullies.

Cleric'd for a BH69 squad who needed some serious help both physically & mentally....b:surrender

Rather then pull bosses from their adds, the morons charged right into (Nob & Poles groups) and their escorts both at the same time, in the turn around area in the back chamber ....b:sweat


Most heroic thingabout that ~_~' was ending up running in and BB'ing that Cluster F*** and somehow keeping everyone alive without even a single loss of a party member (And no it was just a normal squad, no hardcore highs on it__b:sad) Thank god I was wearing a mixed set of (LA/AA) armor on my cleric aswell as having a crapload of crabmeat back then, otherwise it woulda a been one heck of a Major Wipe... And all because a few idiots wanted too act insanely stupid on that run.....b:surrenderb:cry


Thank god someone had succesfully been able to disrupt pole enough for him to not be able to do any debuffs during that 1....

I dont think too many HL members can be bothered helping out newbies so I'm always doing that when I can. Nowadays I'm coming across 95+ chars pretty often who say to me, "Oh I remember you, you helped out in my (insert relevant) culti bosses."

Came across a char the other day who seemed real new and seriously was asking for 100coins to be able to buy a pickaxe. I gave them certain advice about begging for money and grinding, then gave him 20k which he was thanking me profusely for.

Fuzzy simply looked at harpy and growled with all the panda's might. She ran away in fear.

Thats heroic isn't it? b:cute

Not really counts as heroism but was told it was a clever thing to do:
I rezzed a fallen comrade who had a boss on top of him. I shot the boss so that he would chase me and move from the dead comrade who could safely rez and run out of range before the boss noticed anything.

Also, as a cleric I go and heal, buff and rez random people at times. Prefer those who really needs it.

I was doing Morai daily for Corona (kill Fiendish Buzzard) and I saw a Shroud barb in the area killing Dire Buzzards. But he accidentally agroed one of the Fiendish Buzzards. So I flew in and attacked it to get agro off of him.

Then the barb cussed me out for ks'ing him.

*facepalm*

/heroicfail

Rather similar experience some time ago @ wraith attack, a veno aggroed too many mobs and I saw ITS hp going down rapidly so I attacked some of the mobs to save IT, the result was "stop ksing", without my intervention IT would die. b:surrender
