How do you get a headache from looking at a big head? lol, just wait a day if it bothers you that much. Kind of ruins the spirit of the holiday if people can just opt out of a prank.

but anyways, you could try setting your computer’s date forward to april 2nd. Or back to March whatever. It seems to be client side.

I THINK some people have a type of Coulrophobia(for the lack of a name for it).

Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns and mimes, and other individuals whose identity and intentions are obscured by things like makeup. What does that have to do with bobbleheads?

You said it right here(out of context), “and other individuals whose identity and intentions are obscured by things like makeup.”. In a sense the bobbleheads are an obscured representation of its true self. Go figure.

Give it a rest. Everyone knows you’re just being a Fanboi.

And that aside. There are people like myself that are getting headaches from it, be cause there is too much motion going on from what you are normally used to in the game. And my eyes are trying to process every little new motion, and it’s causing a massive headache.

ACTUALLY, Im FAR FROM A GW2 FANBOI, just check my posting history, I may be one of the most critical people on these forums AGAINST GW2, although, on occasion they put things in that tickles or intrigues me. I’m sorry it gives you a headache , but, it’s not like it’s permanent, I myself would get sick of it if it were, but, it’s only for 1 day, GEEZ.

That’s not what coulrophobia is, sorry man. Bobbleheads scaring people is closer to automatonophobia.

Also, could you stop yelling in caps?

I think the bobbleheads are great, and I’m very sorry it’s badly affecting some people. And I’m especially sorry that while I’m playing right now, I’m beginning to develop a migraine from straining my eyes (I’m legally blind in one eye..) trying to see enemy animations around my enormous noggin, and it’s starting to make me nauseous. It makes me sad because I really enjoy the effect and find it funny. Part of me hopes the migraine is coincidental, but I know it isn’t.

I love the bobbleheads, but they’re messing with me. I’ll probably have to play in very short amounts of time and space it out to avoid it bothering me too much.

Look up the use of capitalizations within sentences. When only certain things are capitalized it is a sign of EMPHASIS to that/those certain word/words, it’s called LITERACY, yelling is the use of caps in the ENTIRE DIALOG.

I have already experienced my fill of motion sickness from this and I do not get motion sickness in a car, even reading.

I was able to successfully turn it off by logging completely out of the game. However, once back in and back to normal non-bobbling, it came back as soon as I zoned.

This is incredibly annoying in WvW where logging out/in is not optimal during S2

BG: 52 alts, 29 lvl 80’s. They all look good, so I am done with the game: Oct 2014

I have bobblehead in effect now! It’s not something I can have on all day (so relogged), but I did have a fun 20 minutes or so with it. Still, I discovered something hitherto unbeknownst to me. It’s shaken up my world, my typical support for All Things Quaggan, and my preconceptions of How Things Are.

Quaggans are, in actual real reality, the cuter cousin to the xenomorph. I have proof! In pictures!

Pay special attention to the fact the hatchery is disturbingly similar. And yes, it is a hatchery. Silence, non-believers! Your views are not welcome here. :P

Change your computer’s system date then completely close GW2 and open the game again. I changed mine to March 27th. This worked for me.

That is the new mask, yes. No, you can’t dye it, unfortunately. I’m lucky in that I intended it to be red, anyway.

ANet, the joke is on you. You missed an incredible marketing opportunity!

Put bobble head statues in your online shop and let folks buy the dang things for real money (instead of non-Focusing Testing something that caused physical grief for your customers in-game.)

Get your Bobble-head Scarlett today!

Special deal if you buy the complete set of Bobble-headed Destiny’s Edge!

-Will be back playing on April 2nd. Still waiting for motion sickness to pass.

That’s okay with me. I can use it on my fire themed Elementalist. Was wondering if I could use for other themes though. Thanks for the info!
