Has anyone got any pieces of catchy, one-lined advice to take in the game? Or perhaps sayings and metaphors that reflect ingame events or items etc?
Here's a few bad examples:
"Cheap as prismatic bolted vees" - Indicating something is very cheap
"Does the prestige mission like clockworks" - Refers to a player who always starts the prestige missions at midnight PST
It doesn't have to be based on a real saying, just anything catchy will do.
"Offence > Defense, that is the rule of Spiral Knight." ~ Midnight-Dj's first lesson to all SK recruits as a vanguard
"RNG is fair to everyone, you are just as likely to get a CTR VH on your next punch roll as a noob punching weapons for the first time." ~ Something Draycos never understood, I hope he does...
"There is no such a thing as an Atheist Polaris Spammer, you can't spray without pray..."
"If you don't bring shiver or blitz into FSC, then be the water boy, make your self useful is the first step on the road of not being kicked."
"You can die a hundred times knowing that you are the 'chosen one' of SK, like the dragon born of Skyrim, you are so important to the story to a point that you are not important anymore." ~ Midnight-Dj analyzing the SK plot as a whole
"If you're a Spiral Knight, then what the hell am I?"
"A spinal blight." (a pain in the neck)
Inhale my Callahan enragement demons. ~ Me after ruining a mob of Devilites.
Let's see...
To be a Larry - to hold true to technicalities and viciously correct those who are technically incorrect
Like a gremlin in a graveyard - to be completely out of place
A curse of chaos - when you are unable to do anything without it coming back to haunt or hurt you
Over in a blitz - to complete something incredibly quickly due to specific tool or asset
A hall of heroes is lost to those who rush - don't try to speed through a task or activity; enjoy the path instead of focusing on the destination
I could make some more if you all want some.
those are all really good, and at the same time too true
Yes, I really like those Fangel.
Midnight's RNG one is great but it needs to be reworded to something "riddle" sounding to be truly catchy.
Couple of days later and I can have more creative juices. Here we go!
That's about all for my brain for right now... Two of the "harder to understand ones" refer to apocrea and the Silent Legion, but can probably be interpreted in other ways too. :)
"Whosoever flails the Rocket Hammer around like a [spaz], he shall take a spike trap up his bunghole."
"When you fight your inner demons, equip your soul with weapons that do piercing damage."
"He who uses Pulsar in lockdown's a paradox to all who seem him; for though they deeply hate him, they deeply want to be him."
"One does not acheive Voltedge without acheiving the Shockburst Brandish first. (And doing a crap ton of PvP.)" - Dont expect to get good stuff without getting the meh stuff first.
"Ye who take the path of Useful Gear shall be in combat blessed, but ye who take the path of the Costume & Accessories shall be for combat dressed."
"Spam it like a noob with a pulsar" when the idiots in your dreams and nightmares party are physically incapable if remembering to use heart attacks even though they keep dying
