They got tangled in his dwarven chest hair?

[BronzTrooper]

Heard a couple pugs say that the chests that are protected have the little pedestal underneath them.... after the Destruction DLC was launched.  Same pugs were convinced that the shortcut chests were protected too.  Of course, these guys were wrong 100% of the time, but it was pretty funny.

[hellbiter88]

I don't run into that many pugs using mics, but when I do, they all seem to have their own crazy theories on game mechanics. I thought I'd share a few, and start a things pugs say thread for other insane things you've heard over the mic.

Some of my favourites:

If the person who opens a locked door, opens the chest, there's a 10% increase in the chance of getting an item.
- no idea if that's true, I suspect not, but I've heard a few different pugs say it. One was so convinced they would scream down the mic and attempt to kick anyone who opened "the wrong chest"

Using levers to open short cuts causes the key glitch/ RTC glitch
-I got blamed for causing the commander to bug out because I used a lever in the first room. It was magical.

Winters grasp causes the key glitch
- May or May not be true, but when I first heard it the pug who was complaining was using firestorm...

You can tell if a chest is going to have an item, based on the shape of a small decoration above the door.
- apparently a pug was told this by a 'developer' and was convinced it was true. He demonstrated this amazing knowledge by guessing what was in the chests with a whopping 0% success rate.


I wonder what gems other people have heard

 

Why does anyone want the item in the chest, anyway? The items all suck. Go for the gold baby. Gold buys you things (which also suck).

[Kjubaran]

I have some:

 

If you salvages some purples then buy a chest you recive a purple, since there are limit how much purples you are allowed at certain prestige.

 

Loot depends of prestige, but developers made it 1 byte maximum = 255, so best prestige to buy something is 255, 511,766,1021...

 

(before patch 3.3) Not killing the golden nug result in key glitch next room.

If the chest has a chain attached to it, it's a mimic.

[CelticRanger275]

I hear that for every healing pot you leave untouched on the map you get +5% extra exp.

A guy i ran with yesterday was all crazy about not using healing fonts because he wanted that extra 5% xp, which he had personally "confirmed" was true.

I smell a trolling opportunity.

He just wants to lick you!

"Spirit Blade is the best attack in the game, it does one-thousand times damage"

(I hadn't said anything, I swear).

Same guy knew some other cool secrets, like, "Bows can't do flanking damage" and a few voodoo techniques for getting items from chests which involved people standing in specific locations in the treasure rooms.

He eventually rage-quit after the second round in a row where the Necro wouldn't cast barrier on him no matter how many times he demanded it

Lol, I had a guy do this when I was on my elementalist. HE demanded a barrier, so I used immolate on him, He called me stupid, so I used fire mine. Called me something else so I tried winters grasp, then he really screamed at me so I used firestorm.... He screamed at me, called me a f...ing re.... thats what I heard, he was choking on his own rage and then took a breath and demanded again that I cast barrier on him.... The rest of the team just stared at him, litterally, we gathered around and stared at him, then he swore again so we kicked him.... and got a keeper, who couldn't figure out why everyone was practically dying laughing.

There's the always popular "The more promotions you have the better chance to get higher level items from chests"

 

And I had a guy who insisted that if your inventory was full it would cause the key glitch.  Each time we got the key glitch he would interrogate everyone and ask who hadn't salvaged their junk items and would kick anyone who wasn't positive that their inventory was not full.  The times when we confirmed we all had spare room in our inventory he just declared that one of us was lying.  Pretty chill dude other than that.

I just started reading the MP forums recently and have already seen a ton of posts about people going nuts in voice chat or being rude/angry/hateful, but after a few hundred games I've only played with one or two people who were moderately unpleasant.  Is that just incredible luck on my part?  These posts about yelling people are baffling

I think it's mostly a case of people playing a lot of games, and since the people who post in the forums play a lot of games, they are collectively more likely to run into the people who will rage.

 

If you step back and look at the big picture, it makes sense. I've only really encountered impactful jerks maybe 3 or 4 times, playing regularly weekly for about 2 months. And two of those were in the form of text messages after the fact.

 

But as part of a bigger collective, the people in the forums, if they each have 3 or 4 stories, will have a lot in combination, which will make it seem like a more prevalent problem than it really is.

Those mimic chests were awesome in BL2

Plus we're in a crazy pug story thread. It also seems like human nature to tell the story about the insane person they were in a match with than the dozens who were perfectly fine. Stories like that are less interesting.

Oh lord yes, its sad to say, but the jerks/stupid people are more memorable than the good ones. I'd say 99% of the people that come across the mic are cool people. But once in a while you get the person that just makes you want to slap them as hard as you can..... with a cricket bat.

Before they patched the key glitch, I had been blamed for causing it while playing as: Alchemist, AW, Templar, Keeper, in addition to the common ones everyone heard about.

There were no elementalists in the group to blame any of those times. I think people didn't want to admit that it was just flat broken, so it had to be someones fault.

This is might be the best story in any thread.
