The misheard phrases of GW2. :)
I always hear something about a ‘quaggin bagel’ when I’m standing around the trading post…
“Play how you want”
You, sir, have won.
Anyways, I have misheard quite a few phrases, but so far I remember only these:
Human female getting Retaliation: “Aim for pain!”
Asura male getting Swiftness: “Exhilarating!”
Norn bleeding: “Using blood!”
Sylvari male ressed: “I needed to die” and “My pain is easy”
(edited by Hermes.7014)
“More violence I say, less violins!”
A pity, because I quite like violins…and I think they pair quite well with a good rumble.
“Grab a powder keg and get plastic!”
“Getting HARD!” – Charr warrior’s adrenaline line.. DON’T JUDGE ME.
“Corpses lead to questions.. These wieners know too much. They need to vanish.”
“Help me and fail!” (is acually “Healthy and able”) Incredible annoying to listen to!
Female charr gaining a boon… Think it’s regenraation.
I’ve always heard it as “healthy and hale” which actually makes sense — gotta listen more closely next time!
My buddy and I have always though that the Harpies yelled out “Make love to me!” Needless to say, we were terrified of them. LOL
Thank the Six I’m not alone with that thought.
I love it when my Necro’s quotes smash together:
“Dead again dead again…live now NO my minion!”
Then sometimes my Guardian has a few gems.
“We will not fall” “Retreat!” “Save your shelves!”
Geez guardian, you go all Logan on people and try to take their shelving space.
“For Krait Justice!”
I always want to hear the charr say “I FEEL…….PRETTY!” (rather than Strong)
“Shave Yourselves!”
Sean Connery is a Guardian?
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.
“Peel me!”
I always hear this when my character yells “heal me!” and it’s amusing because I’m usually thinking “PEEL PEEL OH GOD PEEL”.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
HaHa Glad I could make so many people laugh!
Whenever my female Asura elementalist attunes to water and says “Wave and Torrent” my wife thinks she’s saying “Queen Victoria!”
And when my wife’s human Necro dude gets hurt sometimes I hear him say “Strong!” like an idiot trying to psych himself up.
“Rise, My hand raised that minion!”
When female sylvari elementalists switch to fire attunement; at least, I think that’s when it happens, they shout a very accented “Ferocious fire!”
The first few times I heard it, I thought I heard “Baroosh’s Fire”. Baroosh is a quaggan NPC out of the minor race arc for the Orders.
Ref: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Baroosh
It works either way. Baroosh is pretty ferocious.
Kragg Ghosttalker: “The Yes come on in Catacombs are a restricted area. Identify yourself!”
He doesn’t say this anymore though.
“Go fourth, my minions!”
Personally I’d rather have the minions go first.
FOR GRAPE JUSTICE! is still the best
‘Ho Traveler’….. did he just call me a ho?
It was a few months ago while we were waiting for kitten and half the map were whipping out catch phrases and the alterations being listed in this thread. It was a fun waiting for the dragon that day.
“Help me and fail!” (is acually “Healthy and able”) Incredible annoying to listen to!
Female charr gaining a boon… Think it’s regenraation.
I’ve always heard it as “healthy and hale” which actually makes sense — gotta listen more closely next time!
It is “Healthy and hale.” It was the inscription from GW1 for +15% damage while over 50% health.
For we have held fast our ground and our loyalty to Tyria each and every day…
And it is time the Six show their blessings. Freedom for ALL doers of great and wondrous things!
Not a misheard phrase, but hopefully in the spirit of the thread: ever since I learned that Scarlet’s voice actress is the same lady who voices Twilight Sparkle, I can’t help but think of an evil version of Twilight Sparkle whenever Scarlet speaks:
“Meet my new friends. Aren’t they terrifying?”
“Die, die, die. Die, die, die, die, die.”
“Your friends are all dead! You can thank me later.”
Someone else mishears “accelerating!” as “exhilerating!” so I can’t post that one as mine even though I was going to. /shakes fist
I do like the mashup of “I have what you need. What do you need?” you get from merchants. I had a guildie who liked to mentally complete a bandit’s dying "Now I’ll never … "

After watching the new Hunger Games movie, I realized that Effie Trinket sounds startlingly similar to Scarlet. O.O!
This rose has thongs… And here they are!

LOL
“Shave Yourselves!”
Sean Connery is a Guardian?
Rofl; I knew it
“Beep blop bloop initiated!”
“For the Panini!!”
for the longest time i thought the centaurs were hungry to die for a sandwich.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one to hear their sandwich battle cries!
Variations have been mentioned but asura getting swiftness, I always hear, “Eat celery!”
I was just coming in to say I just heard an Asura shout “Accelerating!” and heard it as “Akh! Celery!” like he was frightened/disgusted by the stuff.
FOUR GRAPE JUICES!
BEER!
A flight of meat for the first with a tale about that battle.

There’s something in the Norn starter instance that goes along the lines of “Hey! Hurry up. You don’t want to miss your chance at Lori.” Supposed to be “glory”. I was listening to music and it came across the other way.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
So my name is Steve. We’d just finished a dungeon and left out the gate, and one of my guild mates hears an NPC say, “You’ll pay for what you did to Steve.”
And he’s on mumble with as and he’s totally baffled. He says, “What are you talking about. Steve’s right here, he’s fine”.
Only after he looked at the dialogue did he find out it was saying, “You’ll pay for what you did to Steeg.”
I was hysterical.
If COF “Warm the Tribune”… always heard: Who’re you?…The Traitor!
“I feel six feet tall.”
…Then I realized that I was actually saying that and felt stupid.
I actually thought he was saying “He’s six feet tall!” – I thought it was the asura commenting on a human player when they got close to him
When norn male NPCs shout “BEAR!” i always think they are dieing or something.
When ressing Charrs, they always say “wuss”, when standing up.
So, to whom are they referring?
“For the Panini!!”
for the longest time i thought the centaurs were hungry to die for a sandwich.
From now on, when I’m feeling blue I will simply repeat that sentence in my head to cheer me up…..love it!
Thank you! :-)
A commonly recurring one seems the warrior’s FGJ which I always keep hearing as
“Forget justice”
Seamarshal Belit / Initiate Xun Tsu / Mistwarden Roshone
Seafarer’s Rest | Northerner @ Dragon Season
Something i hear sometimes and have no idea what it is.
“That noise!”
From female human or sylvari.
Luna Solares – Mesmer
“More violence I say, less violets”
“A splendid computation!”
“I am six feet tall”
“EMERGAD!” (Armored up)
“Fight makes me right”
“On demand” (On the mend)
“Feel the fires of Bulbasaur!”

Ettins screaming for MORE BEER!
Ettins screaming for MORE BEER!
I hear the same thing….followed by “BEER HERE!”
wow, this is my favourite thread. thanks for the lols everyone.
“I can’t flee!”
That’s probably a Necro quote somewhere
Funny thing, an old friend of mine used to say that my Asura says “observe the power of Jaya!” (My character name) instead of fire.
There’s also
“Waters rain!” Instead of “rage”.

“Citizens–coming soon, the newest and most unique resort destination in all of Tyria! Brought to you by the Consortium!”
In Frostgorge Sound, with NPC Rojan the Penitent:
“Everyone fights… or something.”
Divine and compound! – I’m assuming it should be something and confound?
Not really misheard but still one of my favourite lines in the game, after saving Wark from a bunch of harpies:
“Who would buy a product that gives you harpies?”
(not sure if that’s the literal quite but it’s among those lines)
I do like the mashup of “I have what you need. What do you need?” you get from merchants. I had a guildie who liked to mentally complete a bandit’s dying "Now I’ll never … "
For me that one always finishes as “Now I’ll never… get to have any venom”. Yeah we played a lot of DCUO and killed a lot of venom addicted thugs.
He might start thinking he knows what’s right for you.

When my female asura does a combo, she says “Combine and KA-POW!” It would made more sense if she was a elementalist instead of a warrior though…
And… “the sports of battle?” and “sweet, sweet moot!”
