Guild Wars 2

Okay, so S.A.B. was the brainchild of an individual developer at A.Net that got the team backing to be “a thing” for April Fools. World #1 was born and it was okay, but still incredibly easy. I could solo the whole thing in less than 15 minutes. Now 4 months passed since that thing has closed in Tyria.

In comes World #2. Holy Skritt! It’s amazing! Ninjas, booby-trapped dojos, killer koi (well, they’re labeled “piranha”, but they look koi) all make up some of the hardest, craziest, and best content to come to GW2 in forever and ago. I never thought that a lone April Fools content could extend to being such a hugely awesome thing as it has.

Oh, and the Smokey The Bear knockoffs are insanely funny and obnoxiously painful…but still fun to kick the rear of (what game has EVER let a player beat the living snot out of Smokey The Bear with a stick?!). I just really dislike the cave behind the waterfall, which seems to be their home or something, as three in there just light up the entire floor quickly with their red rings of death.

The hillbillies, crocodiles, Frogger-style river crossings, and polar bears are all ‘okay’, but very easy to master in one go through. The raccoon mafia is a cake walk in circles with the bomb upgrade, so it’s not too challenging -maybe a middle ground style-.

My biggest gripe with the World #2 is the need for the 400 baubles to get the torch for Zone 3 to melt the ice wall and continue on. That’s my biggest issue is the lock out on those……oh, and the Indiana Jones Temple of Doom opening scene recreation in the dojo; those darts, those darts, those darts! But even after a few coins used -roughly 6- I got that part down easy-peasy.
