GW Urban Legends

Haha i remember the Winter Dwarf rumor. In 2 hours it went from "Leave him alive for 10 mins to get a hat" to "Leave him alive for 10 mins and you get a mini pet,hat and 5 candy cane shards".

I reckon Anet had more fun with that than originally intended. Hopefully the same thing will happen this year

Theres also the fake weapons we have had (The IDS that months later actually made it into the game...and of course the famous Terror Shield that was rumoured to *only* drop from Dryders)

I know 2 people in pre who have bears, one of whom may have more than one bear, but they've got at least 2 or 3 level 15+'s. One of the bears is called fuzzy wuzzy

lol, fun thread.

my best story was about 2 years ago, my friends and I were getting together a gvg for our buddies guild and we ask one of there members whats the skills on his bar was (hes a warrior) and I immediately start correcting some stuff on the bar then ask him to bring res sig. to which he promptly responds "Whats that" I kindly explain what it was and where to get it (of course laughing in secrecy to my friends) and he adventures off to find res sig, we wait for about 20 minutes and he doesnt come back...so I guest another friend of mine to the guild and we start the gvg after about 2 hours or so we come back to the guild hall and see the warrior standing there, exclaiming how excited he was he finally found res sig.

lol to OP.. ho MAN! Ithose people are fun to argue with because what they believe is so idiotic..

I once was told that to get on the other side where the guards are in Heroes Ascent, all you had to do was win halls and u could choose whether to keep playing or get on the other side.

(Without knowing it was a simple glitch.)

for a time i was CONVINCED that using healing spells on undead would kill them.

trying to spam orison on skeletons....oh boy.

The OP's myth is the most lulziest.

And yet, what I said is still true - that it goes from possible to impossible based on different updates and is hard to tell if what people are currently saying is true or not.

You will note the "possible" part - as such I very well know one has been able to do it and as far as I understand you can currently do so. Then again the next update may change it (again) and we are back to arguing an "urban legend" - at least in the sense of the OP uses the term.

Sheesh, I can't believe that many people failed to see the "possible" part and jumped on me (well, I suppose this is the internet after all).

The dwarf from last Wintersday.
He lived in a cycle of perpetual death.

..player eternal blades..now thy pop..go figure..
god i spent like 2 weeks in uw killing terror web dryders trying to get a terror shield after that screen..dirty bas-tards. Anet hook up some terror shields, would have been leeeeet

I've seen more than a few pet bears myself after having spent 10 months in pre with a monk going for LDOA. You nave to partner with all kinds of people during that process to get from lvl 11-16 and a lot of them have bears. It is one of the leet things to have in pre, I suppose....

I know, but when you solo with minions, it is a lazy easy way to heal.

LMAO at OP's old guild leader...

It has always been possible to charm the bear

I tried selling a req 10 weapon to someone and he WOULD NOT buy it because it wasn't req 12, because he didn't understand that 'having 12 attrib. points increases damage' was different from the req... D< I tried to explain it to him... but to no avail.

My favorite one is one I started long ago.

The UW material crafter, though that has gotten old in its time. lol

This isn't Final Fantasy!

Alright, I'll say it. THIS IS SPARTA!

There was a fairly long period of time between when Anet removed the older methods of getting them and the newer methods were found - thus for a period of time it was impossible.

That there is a certain limit on A.net servers that prevents people from playing AB/FA maps (its just not true people, why in the world would a.net have enough server space to run like 100 RA, TA, HA, and GvG games at any given time, and be unable to run more then 5 ABs at once?). I HATE that rumor.
