*A likely shout-out to this ability occurs during the second-to-last [[EotN]] cutscene, titled "The Great Destroyer." At the end of the scene, [[King Jalis Ironhammer|a certain character]] shouts "Victory or death!" as a battle cry. This is especially poignant considering that [[EotN]] may mark the closure of the first Guild Wars' storyline. In that sense, this penultimate cutscene is the "victory or death" moment of the larger "guild battle" (storyline) of the game. A bit of a tearjerker, really, for long-time fans who read between the lines. |

Notes[ | ]
- "Victory or Death!" affected everyone on the map. It was used by guild NPCs in GvG matches when a match lasts longer than 18 minutes. Guild Battle NPCs march out of the Guild Hall in three waves; the first wave arrives at the flag stand at 18:45, the second wave arrives at the flag stand at 19:00, and third wave (Bodyguards and Knights) arrive at the flag stand at 19:15. If the battle lasts 20 minutes the Guild Lords will also move towards the center and use this skill. This skill is designed to end the battle quickly while not biasing the match toward either team.

Historical note: This skill was removed by the August 7th, 2008 game update, see ArenaNet's developer update page for more information. |
