This is a fundamental power abuse by the Devs; by playing an April Fool’s “joke” on the community, when the community is not able to do so on the Devs.
Poor judgement Devs, very poor judgement.

You can prank them too though. I’ll give you an example.

You: “Hey devs, I’ll buy gems!”
Devs:
You: “April fools!”
Devs:

You sick, sick man. comforts devs

title says it all. i love the bobbleheads and have been overcome by random fits of hilarity (and golden eye flashbacks) cause of them repeatedly. they need to be in the box o’ fun soo badly. even if its just a rare chance.

i hope this isn’t only obvious to me.

thanks Anet, you guys really get me.

It’s really rather ingenious, and what is more enjoyable than my own character is how some of the mobs look in the world.

Someone else suggested they ought to add it to the box-o-fun, which is a neat idea.

Mini pets and Quaggan endless tonics are awesome, btw.

And, look at the size of that boy’s head!…

Wow….. so much negative. This extremely mild compared to some of the things done, and quite humorous to watch. Some of you people are are way too uptight.

Just because some of us would like an option to turn it off, and so we gave feedback to devs for the next time they do something like this, it doesn’t mean we’re all upset and negative. I’m not upset, i just don’t get it why they tought not including a turn off option would be a good idea.

It’s for one day.

You realize the amount of time to code a disable, test it, and push it would take longer than just dealing with it for the day? They have better things to do than waste time and effort on that.

Besides, it wasn’t you I was aiming at. Interesting that you felt the need to respond though. Psychologists would call that defensiveness a direct result of feeling guilty…

I think it is funny and since it is probably just for a day it seem harmless enough. I just wish I had not seen the threads here about it first so I would have been surprised. The giant head works with endless tonics too.

Hello everyone!

I want to make a suggestion, so you can buy an item that is doing so asura always have blobheads.

Why?
Because it’s much easier to target and make pvp a bit more fair!

Apparently there was a window, cause my character head was normal size as well.

Maybe not a window, maybe a level req? In GW1, only the max level chars experienced the April Fools prank (in most instances), so I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar here. IE, only applying the prank to characters a certain level and above?

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

It doesn’t. Motion sickness is caused by a clash between what your eyes are seeing and what your inner ears are feeling with regards to motion. A bobblehead won’t cause this clash because your eyes see one spot of motion yet the overall is consistent with what your inner ears are feeling.

Basically it appears to be a made up story trying to get this little bit of fun taken away because he’s decided he doesn’t like it.

Last time I got motion sick from a game (it does happen) was a Medal of Honor type shooter maybe ten, fifteen years ago. I had to take Dramamine for a couple days until my brain learned to recognize the input properly and adapted. I’ve been fine since.

Are you saying that motion sickness can only occur in 1st person perspective? Wouldn’t it be possible that our brains are able to interpret motion in 3rd person in a similar fashion, although perhaps not as strongly? In that case, wobbling of your characters head would be a perfect example of a disagreement between the visual system and the vestibular system that you mention.

Either way, I’m pretty sure that people who are susceptible to motion sickness can become dizzy by simply looking at things that are spinning or wobbling (I know I can), even if it would not technically count as motion sickness.
