Try adjusting your settings to lowest then log out and back in. The bobble head did not show for me until I put my setting to higher.

Mine is already at the lowest setting and it still shows bobblehead >.<;;;

Ok, nvm, on certain map, that method works, but on some other maps, it doesn’t work Q.Q

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?

Lazy.

After SAB last year this April fools is pathetic. It is simply more of an annoyance than funny and the only thing it has accomplished is for me to log off for the day and play another game.

Disappointing Arena Net, but disappointment is something you seem to excel at lately!

Ok, at least on my end every other login (completely exiting game and restarting) gives me bobblehead. I don’t know if me messing with dates had anything to do with it, but you can try exiting the game completely and restarting it and see if that gets rid of it.

I like how people think that the bobbleheads are the extent to what ANet has planned for April 1st. You may be right, but there are a lot of hours left for other things to happen.

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.

System restore points don’t help, either. Pretty sure it’s not client-side, at this point

Of course not, system restore only deals with system files. This is something that’s just coded into the game and activated today.

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

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.

I can see how it would be funny at first, but after the OMG effect wears off it’d just be stupid. Good for a laugh for some people, nothing more. I hope set up so that when people log in they will see it and if they like it have a laugh, for me however I saw it and want it to BE GONE.

I think it’s only 10 mins out of the hour, log out and back in it should be normal. It will be a bit of a pain to restart game for a whole day, but at least it’s not 24 hours strait.
