The Stupid In-Game Rumors Thread

[Pharcyde]

My favorite rumor is that the "real Pharcyde" is lvl 56 .

[MITSUISUN]

Arterra, would I spread an untrue rumor? I am insulted you would even think such a thing!

And I can see that Mits, Doubletime and I need to do a run together. Seems we have a similar "style".

Yeshhhh, I found DT and now i found another fire bird!
Game on in 30 mins p

A new one I've seen lately is "Kill the Bandit Queen before the King, you get better drops". Highly doubtful, as devs have said that drops are totally random (or chances slightly boosted by luck elixirs/Big Luck).

There's a thing called...Ladies first

[Kingofhurtz]

C'mon, we've all heard them. Somebody runs around spreading a rumor and it spreads like wildfire. Here's just a few:

1. As a level, say, 20, you'll get more XP by trying to play in the Sewers than you would in AO1. (Sorry, there's an XP cap. If the threat level on an enemy is red, you get the highest amount of XP, it doesn't matter if the map is 8 or whatever levels "above" you or 20.)

2. Gathering massive numbers of people into a Towne will cause a Dev to arrive and shower everyone with goodies. (To the best of my knowledge not true.)

3. That if you fight Vyxnaar X number of times, you're assured of getting a Vyx helm. (Still a random drop. Might get it from one fight. Might take a thousand.)

4. That, as a level 4, uttering the magic words, "Please don't boot" will cause you to not be booted from the Bandit Stronghold. (Generally, I don't boot. I will advise you of truth of rumor 1 and let your conscious be your guide. If that doesn't work, you'll either be really lonely really fast or I'll bring you some "friends" to play with.)

5. That standing on a fire grate and letting yourself get blown off is good luck. (Okay, maybe only I spread that one. )

Those are all I can think of off the top of my head. Feel free to add away.

When did you come back?! And welcome back!







Nice list btw

The pharcyde on my friend list is a 56, what, are you an imposter or something?

But yeah, my favorite rumor? "your supposed to stack on people with gold fever when they get it." Never have actually heard it before, but everyone seems to believe it lmao

I've been around causing havoc, just not on the forums much. But thanks, King!

[Otukura]

I stand on firegrates all the time, I've created games to do it. After dying a bunch with my bird, I started using my mage with mana shield... you move so fast!..!... they slow down, go back, do it again!

I'm not a complete idiot, btw...

Saw the message too late. Sad bird. I added you on Rauen if you don't mind playing with another fire magnet.

[MITSUISUN]

added, join me next =)

You can get crafting items to drop from Meathead by quoting Princess Bride. "I'm not left-handed" gets you a scrap of cloth, while "never bet with a Sicilian when death is on the line" gets a gladiator gem. But standing over his corspe saying "he's only mostly dead" won't get you anything.

Was playing in BS with some friends. We were joined by a level 35. We try warning him that this isn't really the place to be, but he wants to play (friend running the game doesn't boot). So we decide fine, let's go. Poor guy is dying all over the place, but he keeps respawning and running back. Finally, one of my friends tells him my "it's good luck to stand on a fire grate" theory. Guy says, "I'm not stupid!!" and, a beat later, "Is it really?". And now I know how silly rumors get accepted.

[Arterra]

Today was my first experience with a guy that truly believed that if you die you don't get pinks.
Don't think I was effective in correcting him. People don't listen to lv50's very often... Damn alt bird.

[CanonicalKoi]

Good timing in the resurrection of the thread--two more. (And Arterra, it just means you have to play your bird more and level it up. )

Today I was informed while playing my baby Mage that the person who opens a chest gets more gold. That would explain why the tank left my Mage tanking the genie...he was busy opening chests.

Not too long before the update, I was in a group doing King and Queen. Mage demands I pull Queen first. All righty, then. But do not, under any circumstances break open any of the chests in the room. 'Kay.... So I do and we kill her. "Now pull the King, but don't break any chests!". I finally had to ask...if you pull both put of the room and don't open *any* chests before opening the reward chest, pinks are guaranteed, he said. To make a long story short, we did all that. *And* waited for the Mage to put on Big Luck. *And* suck a Luck Elixir. And the result? Yellows for everyone. Mage immediately disappeared. I didn't get the chance to ask why they need the shamrocks and/or elixir if it was such a sure thing....

I was told during a CTK PUG "Don't attack the Keeper when his shields are up, it just makes him stronger." Then I watched in disbelief as the whole party just stood around, waiting for his shields to go down.

So I pulled old K'Sarr into a corner and proceeded to keep him pinned while thinking that if I had an extra hand, I could type, "HEY, a little HELP here!?!?!"

*sigh*

Fire heals queen

[Suntv]

I really like the "don't use Magic Shield when fighting the Keeper because it makes him use it more".

Idgets

This one's actually true. No mana shield means no shield Keeper, cause he steals it.

[Luchta]

5. That standing on a fire grate and letting yourself get blown off is good luck. (Okay, maybe only I spread that one. )

Sorry I have to disagree on this because it lacks the correct info. The truth is that you need to get blown off trice or what many call the grate of death combo for the luck to register.

[Ellyidol]

This one's actually true. No mana shield means no shield Keeper, cause he steals it.

I hope you're joking

[Moogerfooger]

This one's actually true. No mana shield means no shield Keeper, cause he steals it.

I double hope you're joking.
