Luck in the game...

[Ihavenokills]

Okay. This was a huge controversy in the past with rumors going around about doing certain patterns in a zone or not doing specific things in order to receive a good drop at the boss. I'm starting to see it circulate again around black star especially with the newer players in the game i haven't seen before. I've gotten kicked from quite a few games already on my alt for opening bonus room doors with people saying something like they have to remake now cause the drop is ruined. This is NOT true. Opening bonus doors, chests, and finishing quests in the zone does NOT affect the outcome of a boss drop in any way or form. It's a rumor/myth started by people that did a certain thing in a zone and just happened to get a decent drop.

The only thing that alters the drop whatsoever is...
- The luck vanity
- Any kind of luck enhancer.

That's it. No patterns, tricks, dancing before you get to the boss, nothing like that.

Awesome.

Have any crazy magical steps to do before you get to a boss for a good drop? post it below

14047

Katar - I thought if you walked approx. 4,394 paces to the left of the boss you get a pink.

Urqui - Long story short, if you can't get to asia, your not getting pinks

Deathpunch - Must be on can, at work.

Kanozaki - Must wave and dance

Cahaun - You have a higher chance at getting better loot if you are dead or in the middle of chat

PianoWizzy - Eating chips irl while farming.

Paar - Wearing your panties on your head while singing 21 Guns. Heard that from a friend... He got xrays.

Akfury - Naked runs always work

Lavalamp - Go to edge of volcano, throw device in, if it comes back you will get a pink. Also heard riding a bike with no handle bars helps.

Kenzor - You need to have a certain amount of stims, and be standing on the left side of the boss

Garvhoz - Say DERP in capital letters when you enter a game and friend request everybody under 3 seconds you get a yellow, green, purple, and pink, but if you manage to say herp after all of the derp and friend request you get 50 pinks.

Rawrimafish - you have to wear the most expensive set (and a gun of any type) and most expensive vanity. then go to boss and insult it and kill and u get a pink... (WARNING: DO NOT TRY) <---why...?

Drewcapu - Higher chance at pink if you let the queen reset 4 times with less than 10% health left!

MorewizardForums - You have to put a bannana on your forehead and say the alphabet Backwards 37.88 Seconds before killing the boss.

Zaonabiuibil - You sit on your head, and spam pink everyone 29.07 seconds throughout the map. It works! (maybe;)) - Has been also told that "No xp gain means no good loot" on his level 41, and was kicked from the game.

eugene9707 - best way, smash your head against the keyboard when fighting the queen, and don't stop until the queen is dead, 100% guaranteed, if it doesn't work you must of done something wrong. Only works in chrome.

Exion - you have to have the daily quest or else you won't go to the secret room in the hive.

Flashbackflip - i think your good karma multiplies and when it reaches some point - you get a drop! I like this myth

you just gave me an awesome idea sir

[mycroftxxx]

Well, in PL (AO?), the level of the items dropped depends on the players present, IIRC. But certainly not opening a chest.

[Flowman]

I get booted from games for using the luck elixir...some people out of pure jealousy and others because they said it would ruin their chance for a good drop.
Little do they know that I've used 13 luck elixirs and have so far gotten only 1 of the lower valued pinks.

[Ihavenokills]

its the same in sl but im talking about boss drops for rare items.

in the hive?

[Urqui]

There's also another way:)
Travel to Asia. Talk to the locals at the base of the Himalayas' tallest mountain and receive a small ritual dagger. Then you must climb to the peak where there is a small temple. You must fight off 2 temple monks using nothing but a piece of string. ONLY after beating these monks you receive the monk's finest goat. Then you take this fine goat to the temple's altar and sacrifice it with the dagger you got from te locals at the base of the mountain. After doing all this you go back home play SL and TADA a pink drop guaranteed
This is what Gibber did:o

results may vary

All jokes aside... I did about 12-15 runs and used 3 Miners & only saw 1 pink drop(Tempest Coil) and it wasn't even for me:( BUT we did open the chests & killed queen first before clearing the other bugs in the room.
So nokills is totally right! It doesnt matter what you do or dont do. Pinks will drop whenever they want to drop:p

[Deathpunch]

Well, I've gotten one pink, a chrome phoenix of dark matter, from the hive. While I was on the can at work. You should be on the can at work to get a pink.

[Kanozaki]

Dont forget that if you use the wave + Dance emote it almost guarantees your a pink !

[Cahaun]

You have a higher chance at getting better loot if you are dead or in the middle of chat!

Not true! I was dead AND chatting and got nothing! NOTHING!

I bet you proclaimed "HOLY CRAP!!" Lol

I don't think the people that believe in these superstitions use the forum, otherwise we wouldn't have this thread.

I only join pick up games when i'm on a miners because of the haters that boot.. karma bro what goes around comes around eventually.

Those same people are probably the ones complaining that they don't get good drops, and its probably because they are so busy booting people they aren't shooting anything!

[PianoWizzy]

Well I haven't gotten a pink from the hive but my first pink drop was a razer in Shipyard. I was eating chips.

I swear that's it and now I eat chips while farming always.

[akfury]

[Lavalamp]

First you must go to the edge of an active volcano. Throw your device in, I'd and only IF it comes back you may get a pink. I also heard riding a bike with no handle bars helps...

Xrays aren't pink. Duh?

I've seen a few people who believed the box/pink theory so much that, even after doing the entire rest of the run, they'd bail just before the boss if someone opened the boxes! I bet the fact that they'll only ever see a pink with the boxes closed (if that ever happens) will be counted as “evidence”…

[Ghostsmacker]

In a Hive run I saw someone get a pink from the boss with boxes opened(no luck enchancers).

[Deathpunch]

Yep, swimmingstar got a pink drop last night in the hive and I know for a fact the boxes were opened because I opened them.

Funniest comment I heard was from a so called "adult" when I opened the boxes near the queen : "I have been an engineer for 35 years. We don't believe in superstition. But we hold genesis in rumors (opening boxes ruin the pinks from dropping)".

[Ihavenokills]

some of these made me lol hahah

Did I say Xrays? I meant Nova, Stunt Harness, Vular Squishers, and The Thinker all in one boss.

[Ihavenokills]

paar just wanted to step it up and release his method for xrays thats all.

[Paar]

:) Glad to be of assistance.

[Ihavenokills]

Newest thing i'm being told now is leave the queen last for better drops. The "don't open boxes" one is still popular though.

[Rawrimafish]

you have to wear the most expensive set (and a gun of any type) and most expensive vanity. then go to boss and insult it and kill and u get a pink... (WARNING: DO NOT TRY)

Did this pink happen to drop to a person named bandaid?

[drewcapu]

Higher chance at pink if you let the queen reset 4 times with less than 10% health left!

I am having so much fun opening the boxes in the hive.. I've been called just about every insult you can imagine.. LOVE it :)

Yah, that's a great one… everyone ignore the queen… hey, that operative must suck, he got killed by the queen.

I was in a run with Bandaid (at level 35, playing better than most 40s) when he(?) got a pink. He claimed it was only his 4th Hive run, and he(?) was potted.

[TsunamiTheClown]

Want Pinks faster??? Rush da baws.

Want guaranteed Pinks??? AH. :)

[Rittik]

the steps to get faster pinks:-
#1) Grab Your Music player
#2) Obviously start a JB song
#3) Then open SL and start a run
#4) Never spoke a word while in run
#5) get drops from Boss!

Geez.. It only works if you run in with all the mobs attacking you while you're naked with a level 1 weapon (I prefer a pistol) AND listening to opera and hardcore rock music at the same time.. Gosh, don't you guys know that? I got a bunch of pinks that way! (maybe...)

OH YEAH! if you want the chamber (extra room) you have to make sure you walk your dog (he/she has to be a mix breed of a golden lab and a chihuahua) before you join a run and you have to make your dog take a poopie on a street light pole (possible? Yes feed your dog something that would give him/her go machine gun on the pole..) or you pick up the poop with your face and wipe it on the pole, whatever works for you.. AND if you don't have a dog, then YOU better go buy/adopt one :)! It totally works! (or am I lying? Nahh you should try it ;))

I try killing the queen first so I can get my drop and just leave lol..

Well.. killing the queen last isn't so bad atm since you need to kill everything in order to drop down into the secret lvl.

No, its true...even u use luck vanity and minner luck, if u open bonuses door or chest, u will not ever got any good item from bosses drop.
But its not true for get vanity. Even u open bonusses door and box, u still can get vanity even u not use luck vanity or minner luck.
Thats my experience all this time lol

- Any kind of luck enhancer.

To every one who thinks Doing some mumbo jumbo will work.stop deluding your self , only thing that can change your loot is a re roll. Stop wasting your Time and the time of others by this nonsense .


Side note : apparently you can get booted for not having miners luck ...

:highly_amused:

[KillaSkillz]

I been booted for using miners, I been booted for not using miners.

I been booted for opening boxes and been asked "what are you poor" while wearing my xrays, with my zevon, both of which, ,,,, I got from a box :)

I been booted for telling someone they are a bully for telling people not to open boxes or doors then they verbally abuse someone that does it anyways. So I tell them how I really feel about their behavior and get booted.

I been booted for using my bigger luck and told before they boot me "you ruin our chance to get a drop"

I am starting a new myth, this one is "if you boot someone it changes the loot table, giving the booter unsellable junk instead"
You know karma and all. Lol!

[Kanozaki]

Lol karma I like that .

Person A: let's boot him , he's afk
Person B: dude no ! Karma !
Person C: back !

I was never running those maps to hunt a vanity - i just think it's not possible to 'hunt' - pure luck nothing more.. So i'm on those maps only to help low level friends or guildies.. But even running with them i never thought about getting a van..

So, back to the rumor part of the topic: i think your good karma multiplies and when it reaches some point - you get a drop!

Trust me. This IS true
