The weird things we believe or do in EU (but might be too ashamed to admit)
I know I can't be the only person who has little superstitions, or quirky things I do for luck. I realize that what I do has no direct effect on the game, and in most cases I draw conclusions based on coincidence, but I can't control myself. I also assume I'm not alone in this.. So here are my quirks, and yes they are moronic, but I can't stop. Some are luck related, some are just sort of .. well.. weird.
- When looting Cornundacauda, you always loot by clicking on the nose-horn. Always.
- You don't loot mobs while they are still in their falling animation. You let them get comfortable on the ground first, it's only polite. Politeness = Good Karma. Good Karma = Good Loot.
- If you find fruit/stones/dung on the ground, the area is hot. Drop a probe.
- If out hunting, and you find yourself suddenly surrounded by mobs (at least on 3 sides) the area is hot. Drop a probe, BEFORE killing any of the mobs in question. Obviously the gods are hiding a mega deposit under the area and the mobs are the guardians.
- Probe near water/mountaintops/etc. Any location that will give you a good screenshot when EntropiaTracker captures your global. Sunsets in the background are a plus.
- If you TP into an area, and see an abundance of mobs on your immediate radar (looking at you Notus) .. it means there hasn't been a huge amount of activity there recently. Obviously the loot has been piling up waiting for you, yay!
- Mobs in hard to reach places are, of course, hiding with their uberloots. They should be gotten to and killed at all costs.
- When viewing trends on EntropiaTracker, any mob that is up in percentages for looting/payouts obviously is hot and bleeding PEDs. Hunt those.
- When viewing trends on EntropiaTracker, any mob that is down in percentages for looting/payouts obviously is prepping for a big payout. Hunt those.
- If you probe and get a double hit, and both are within a few feet of you, you probe again. The radar that goes out from the probe stopped at the first deposits it hit, more could be out there. (this one might even have a grain of truth, and be somewhat logical *shrug*)
So, those are some of mine. Now I'm curious what the rest of you all do.
Also, please keep the flames and "obviously you're wrong that's impossible" comments to ourselves. The entire point of this is to laugh at ourselves, and perhaps pick up a few new quirks.
