Guild Wars 2

Folks today is April Fools Day and I know its a time to get silly. But I couldn’t help but feel like ANet took things a step too far today. The grainy filter is fine and the old timey music is actually rather charming. What I am of course referring to is the fact that your character runs around pretending they are an airplane. Now normally this wouldn’t be a big deal but I feel like the statement that ANet is making about airplanes is both insensitive and callous. As you know doubt have guessed, I am talking about the lack of jet planes.

You see, your character runs around with their arms stretched at almost perfect 90 degree angles. However, as I am an aviation expert as well as a game designer (and an astronaut) it seems to me that the are only representing biplanes. Clearly, jet planes are being under represented or, dare I say, discriminated against. As an aviation expert who has helped design all jet planes in the world I feel very offended by this. The characters should put their hands at a slight angle behind their back and make sounds similar to BRRRRROOOOOSH and FWHOOOSH in order to simulate the thrusters of a jet plane.

I sincerely hope that ANet will do the right thing by adding jet planes to the game.

Hahahaha +1 <3

But really it’s annoying lol. I just wish there was an off button :P

Please think of the poor wing flaps!

This event is a slap in the face to aviation experts and Anet should publicly apologize to all aviation experts.

As a fan of jet-engined aircraft, this resonates with me deeply.

We also need to add ATC and a really thick book of regulations to adhere to.

The OP has completely ignored the paper aeroplane industry. As a paper aeroplane engineer I find it completely insensitive that my chosen occupation has not been included.

I’m going to go and cry now, thank you for your time.

The paper aeroplane industry is full of entitled brats. There… someone had to say it.

I now personally recant the above and offer an apology for my insensitive statement. I realize now that some of those in the paper aeroplane industry are fully entitled to get whatever they want.

I’m offended, and I find this jet plane.

And don’t you forget it!

Thanks for this thread. I need a break from all the stupidity people are throwing out there today. It’s beyond ridiculous. There’s more whine here than when they introduced upgrade stones into Heroes of the Storm alpha, and that was a legitimate issue

Right now i feel offended for the lack of jet planes…

you know what? I DEMAND Anet to make an appology in game, forums, and on national tv(every countries national tv)… AND GIVE US JET PLANES cause those are so much cooler.

We live in a nice age…we can demand others to do what we want to do…just cause we feel offended…

I’m gonna be so offended at university today when i have to hand out my project. ^^

Guys guys, don’t worry, there is a jet plane! My guildie did this (I hope he’s ok with it being shared).

That gravity is so offensive…they should just take it out of the game, in respect for ppl that died from falling…

Fun fact time

Did you know that more ppl die from falling off the bed than being eaten by sharks?

Highly offensive thing, this gravity stuff

Well done! Thank you for representing jet planes seeing as ANet CLEARLY doesn’t care and only cares about money and gems.

What about the birds, litter on a blustery day and specks of dust? Anet I am completely appalled at your lack of decorum, sensitivity and a variety of other big words that I can’t think of at the moment.

As a fan of drones, which are the future of warfare as everybody knows, I’m offended that ranger pets, necro minions and the such aren’t included in the joke.

Just Anets way to honnor the people who died in the planecrash in the alps :/

Just equip two incinerators, turn down dialogue volume and make the FWOOOSH sound yourself (in real life).

Can’t do much about the “wing” angle though.

I’m highly offended also and wish to lodge a complaint about the angles at which my char was holding his hands. I have arthritis in my hands and holding my hands like that in real life is very painful. ANet knows about this as I have posted once before about having hand pain. It was inappropriate of ANet to remind me of this when I’m trying to play a video game. They should have remembered my post and done something else. They should post in this thread and apologize for causing me so much mental anguish and suffering.

how can you have arthritis in your arms after they’ve been cut off? are you sure it’s not chronic phantom sensations?… yeah i know, you’ll bite my legs off….

;-)

I’m offended because some else is offended and I want to feel relevant stand up for the little guy kittenit!

Hahaha I really though that was going in another direction :P

On a similar note, my asura ele using d/d while attuned to fire looked like he had thrusters on his wings, made do for a jet xD
