Scarlet returns! We just killed a really lifelike hologram. New evidence points to an attack on Rata Sum, most likely to happen on April 1st!

SAB would be a lame april fools considering its exactly what they did last year. Don’t get me wrong, I adore SAB, but just repeating the exact same “prank but not really a prank at all” content would be kind of boring.

maybe a life like golem or clock work with incredible illusion magic coated on it to make it look like the real scarlet.

SAB team worked on the Marionette so I do not think they would have had enough time to create world three.

They will have a hard time beating last years April Fools, so much so that they might not even really try.

They fully return Lion’s Arch to the way it was, except with a few invisible walls here and there and a little special effects. Everything’s just an illusion of the dead. A ghost city for a day.

After a player uses a waypoint, they find out that all their money has gone missing. It isn’t until the 2nd, after all the grief and QQing on the forums, the players get a letter in the mail from Rata Sum with all their money returned. It turns out that there was a malfunction in the waypoint’s Transaction Relative to One’s Location, Level, and Exact Destination system…

That really wasn’t a prank anyway. I don’t see why releasing SAB would be a bad thing. They will obviously have the next world in there.

Make everyone (including NPCs) into asuras…. players that are already asuras get a pink afro… pink afro asuras are unchanged, can’t beat perfection..

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

this… but we could also get to play commando for 3 day :P or find out that all our armor has been replaced with bikinies and shorts and our weapon now are woodsticks :P

could also find out that the mystic toilet now laugh like the joker everytime you put something in it or that the monster have been replaced with ninjas and pirate

Upon reading their upcoming changes to the trait system, I suspect that may be the joke.

They could turn us into minis of ourselves, and we can’t revert to normal size until the day is over.

So we’ll be wvwing, dungeoning, and everything else as minis.

Gw1 did that also once. Everyone was the size of a mini and all the minis were people sized.

Picture is blurry, but you can see the large “miniatures” with the small characters beside them.

Better picture of the small players/big minipets.

GW1 always had really ludicrous patch notes put out on April Fools, if you ask me, GW2 should implement some of those really ludicrous things, a lot of what was posted in the patch notes was terribly unbalanced, obviously, but still sounded really fun to mess around with for a day, so it’d be cool to see.

There’s a lot to be envied about the AF’day pranks that the Anet of olde would pull on it’s players. I really miss wandering around as a stick figure (esp. since I bought new armour just the day before), or being a Gwen-chan doll, or being a mini to my fave maxi-pet (oh, the mad king’s guards, the kanaxai’s, good times), or even better, playing as a Commando in a Terminator-esque scene.

I really hope the dev’s come up with something better to show us they’re on the ball. I love SAB to bits… 8 bits actually, but I do hope they revert back to the GW1-nature of pranks. That kind of novelty just never wears off.

Just to be clear, SAB is not specificly an Aprils Fool thing. This much was made clear when the second world was released at the other side of the year. It will probably come back i guess, but dont take it for granted. Its Living Story stuff, not a strictly annual thing.

My only hope is that whatever they have planned, it will be IN THE GAME. With the amount of out-of-game stuff ANet does these days, i fear that the game itself misses more and more of the good stuff.

SAB team is separate from LS, it is just a recurring event. My only hope is that it’s semiannual instead of annual.

They could do the gender swapping again. That was an…. interesting… day on GW1. To say the least.

Of course… they could turn as all into plushy minis of ourselves too, similar to the gwen doll mini in GW1.

Or maybe make us all ooze for a day, your color is determined by your class…

Or… yeah.. I’ll just stop now..

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Go hit one of the ambient chickens in Ebonhawke if you want a bit of fun. Better yet, do what I did. I told a guildie I was with in Ebonhawke that there is an achievement you get for hitting one. That was funny.

We both got chased out of town.
