The Stupid In-Game Rumors Thread

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

Does fire heal him too?

I think mage heals do, because, well, he's a mage too.

So the optimal way of killing the keeper is no fire / no heals / no shield / no hitting him while his shield is up.

Yup I think so..

Exactly! Don't forget no use of warrior special skills as those will also cause him to use Mana Shield (sadly been told that multiple times as well).

So if u stare at that keeper long enough, eventually, he will self implode??

No. You cannot face him.

Ok I'm gonna run CTK, solo, in a few minutes!! I should go in, turn my back, don't usE fire,mana shield, heal! Attack only when his shield is down AND I'm guaranteed an easy kill right!?

I wish I knew all this when I was doing my cyber quests!!

While wearing Big Love (to show you care) and preferably while standing on a fire grate (they're a random spawn) on a Tuesday.

I can't count the number of times I've been asked if I have a red hat and to wear it instead of my Corvid Green Beret because it's good luck. Secret members of the Red Hat Society, perhaps?

I've heard that the devs are......*looks around*.........cyborgs.

After just finishing the Cyber quests, I officially HATE the Keeper rumors.

[Redbridge]

I heard the Party Hat means an automatic pink! And disables the Keeper's shield

and lets you pop balloons

If you have 10 Power Gems in inventory, you now get Power Levelled x 10!!!1!!

I keep hearing this rumor when killing sewer bosses: "Kill him fast or you won't get pinks."

I have had people angry, and quit early because we were killing a boss "too slow, so no pinks". Also, if someone died and got revived, I heard someone say, "now we wont get pinks". So, a death seems to guarantee no pinks will drop.

Although, once when I was in a group, i played my bear badly. I used beckon and accidentally threw Gold Fever out the door resulting in a complete heal/reset. And, after killing him I got a pink Royal Sewer plate. Everyone was mad that I got it, and the negative tells lasted about 30 minutes. But, I guess that breaks the quick kill myth.

[Fyrce]

LOL, csb. And um, ignore these people. Go find others to play with. These rumors have been around a long time. I used to bump into groups once in awhile, try to tell them differently, but of course, they never believe anyone, even their own eyes.

The game is much better when you run from these people as fast as possible. You can try to teach them, but enduring 30min of nasty tells is NOT how I want to spend my game time. If they don't learn, I leave. There're so many nice people to play with and no nasty tells at all.

[DawnInfinity]

Man, old thread. Those people are very.. ignorant. Haha. My rumor isn't stupid but it's definitely a rumor or misconception. People seem to think that I'm a GoA like all the time, but I'm not. I'm flattered that people think so but meh.

[NECROREAPER]

Maybe it's a sign that you.............. Sould be? (**GASP!!!**)

Lol jk Steph

[drewcapu]

I'll throw in one that "actually worked" (credit to Zjtd)

We were approaching KQ and Z came up with the idea that you have a better chance to get a pink if you don't hit the chests in the boss room (not counting the one that spawns after both King and Queen have died). In other words, pull each boss out of the room, one at a time.

So, after the usual Queen pull and kill, we pulled the King and killed. Then immediately target the spawned chest.

Guess what? The guy who hit the chest (wasn't me or Z) looted a MM Bracer!

Well, most of the PL shields we see today are also GoAs....

[Raulur]

It just blows my mind how some ppl choose to believe the Keeper / Mana Shield rumors, even after you show them just how false it is.

It's as simple as this: The shield is on a timer. When the first person aggros the Keeper, the timer starts. Once that happens, everyone should immediately forget the remaining guards and pour everything they have on the Keeper. If you have a decent party of 4 or 5, you should have no problem killing him before the first shield. I've seen it done easily by a party of three.
