Bought the game last night and played for 15 minutes… This company really knows how to make a first impression on a new customer. Glad I spend more time troubleshooting my PC/Software for a random bug than playing the game before I found this post.
kittening bravo to the idiot that approved this as a forced global setting in their software.
It is a one day joke. Go to bed, do some stuff for a day. Come back and it will be the game you were looking for. Well maybe not if you get so bent out of shape over a one day transformation. You didn’t even describe how this affected your game play.
Or you could spend more time camping this thread telling people how and when to enjoy their game, if we’re on the topic of ‘gainful activities.’

So are you camping this thread too? Good grief. It is a 24 hour thing, If people want to rage then let them. I’m still going to call them out for it. This thread is almost a duplicate of the bobble head prank last year. People talking about how this ruined the game, they will never buy gems again, they are physically sick and all the other hyperbole that went with it.
It may surprise you gentlemen to find out that white-knighting to the point of insulting others about their lifestyle and gaming choices isn’t appropriate on a CS resume, then. Take it from me. Please.
And yes. I’m camping the thread for a fix. I’m a member of a relatively large guild on TC that had a meeting scheduled today that will have to be cancelled without a fix. By all means, please fall back on telling me that we all need to go outside and get lives, when you can fit it in between rabidly punching the refresh button looking for more people to kitten on.
Well Options are always a nice thing. I am sure plenty of people here are not posting to have an option added right away ( since that would take longer than the event lasts) but they do so in order to have options for the next year’s April fool’s day and so on. Not everyone enjoys the same things, and that was pointed out with last year’s bobbleheads. Forums are, a place for players to share their opinions after all , and I don’t see why everyone should be forced to participate in the April’s fool’s day. People have different schedules and different ways to perceive “fun” Did you like the joke? perfect , enjoy it to your heart’s content! No need to try and force everyone to see things your way though. I know Anet tends to do that since gw1 , every year on that day ( and I happen to appreciate their effort) , but I admit I disliked last year’s bobbleheads and this year’s prank isn’t really my shtick…. thus, options is the way to go for everyone to stay happy.
Its Trogdor and Lordkrall, they do this each time someone posts a thread where someone complains about something ANET has done. Its not a surprise.
False. I rarely get involved in complaint threads on the side of Anet. When I do it is often because people are blowing things out of proportion. Check my post history, all 89 pages. You will see I have posted my fair share of complaints as well.
That said, this is a one day joke and people are acting like it has destroyed the game forever. I won’t ever support that stance because it is, well, silly.

It’s kind of your own guild’s fault for scheduling a meeting on April Fools day when pranks like this on April Fools day aren’t exactly new for Anet. Didn’t anyone in your guild think, “hey, maybe we should schedule this on a different day since it’s pretty likely anet will pull a prank on april 1st?” guess not.

Fine, ill edit my post then, its Lordkrall. Sorry for the very false accusation. But honestly, having more options is never a bad thing. Ill be playing other games with my boyfriend though, shame, i was really looking forward to leveling my 2nd ranger today, and really so was he.
The pvp community reminds me of what Obi-kittenenobi describes Mos Eisley as from star wars.

They did give you an option, turn off the game like I just did and don’t come back until they fix this. One of the dumber things I have ever seen done in a game on purpose. Thanks for the headache from the color and the stupid airplane noise when you walk. Maybe I will just uninstall just because if anet wants to be this stupid I can one up them.

It’s March 31st.
On server time (and in europe) it’s april 1st. It’s not Anet’s fault that your guild couldn’t plan around this or that you didn’t know this and the simple fact that they do this every year.
+1 to “its funny for 5 minutes but after that its irritating being stuck in this pose”
Well whatever, if this game was a monthly sub it would be something worth being kittened off about, but since its not might as well just do dailies and come back tomorrow.
I’m an rper, my chosen mode of play is unplayable. And maybe they’ll learn to put in a option for those of us who found it amusing at first, but quickly became annoyed with it. Sorry there are people out there who don’t want to endure a joke for a day or more, but we do exist.
You have 364 other days where you can RP all you want.
This is a SINGLE day. Is it really that much of an issue? And if it is, maybe it would be good to simply take a break from the game for a day and do something else instead?
Why should they bother spending more time than necessary on something that will only ever be available for a single day?
An RP’er would find a way to work this effect INTO their RP. An evil spell by a sorcerer, a potion that tainted a water supply, a bad batch of ale. Try having fun with it.
holy kitten what happened to you guys, you all get touched in you nono spots or what turn post prossing off and deal with the plane noises kitten its a joke

Thank you for ruining my persoanl story. fighting a boss looking like a hill bill was just what it needed. Perfect. Normally a good joke, is one that is actully fun. This feels far more like Harassment. You can build virtual worlds and this lame idea was the best you could dream up??
The implementation of the bobblehead event in 2014 was not based off of EU server time and happened (IIRC) an hour or two before 12:00 EST. We are normally scheduled to do events on PST time because of the bulk core of our membership. Which, in 2014, was not a foreseeable problem before the superserver rollovers and general changes to shard server times.
I mean…it really doesn’t matter to me. You guys can keep saying its our fault for continuing on our regular schedule that we’ve had over the past two years. We honestly don’t care about you trying to say we’re wrong for wanting a fix. Please keep bumping the thread, thank you.
To sum it up, it is a one day thing. Some people didn’t like it but it was not changed due to some outrage. In fact they even sell the bobble head laboratory in the gem store. I drop it often in newbie zones just to see people trip out.
If you can’t stand a one day prank then take the day off. It is that simple. It might even be of some benefit to step away from an online game if such things are troubling.
So they should basically never ever release anything at all, because it could after all be seen as a reference to something that have happened somewhere in the world that month?
OMFG i remember in beta, Please Anet after April fools add this emote into the gem shop just to stick it to all these salty tears on this thread i will buy it and so will may many players.
Put /plane in game so i to can run around like this when ever i so please diving bombing these cry babys!
I’m sure it not funny to anyone that had a connection to one of the many recent downed airliners…Someone didn’t think this through very well or don’t keep up with the news.
I told someone who hasn’t seen this for themselves and the first thing they thought was about the plane crash and crucifixion. So its not like this doesnt bring the subjects to mind.
I’m sure it not funny to anyone that had a connection to one of the many recent downed airliners…Someone didn’t think this through very well or don’t keep up with the news.
Things happens daily that could be connected to every single thing released in the game. So going with that logic they should simply never ever release anything, right?
Because someone might get offended or see a connection between that and something that have just happened. This joke was planned and created long before the situation you refer to.
Translate it, and you’ll find they very much find it in poor taste and offensive. But thanks for your worthless judgement post.

And as a level-headed chap in there says, does this mean Anet should cancel the expansion because it has gliders in?
Again, too many people trying to be offended on someone else’s behalf. My grandfather was on 3 ships that were torpedoed in WW2, should I be offended about all the ships that get sunk in this game?

I’ll bet you’d be singing a different tune if they did this a week after the 9/11 attacks.
dude airplanes have been crashing a lot the last year or two if you didnt notice, im certain it started way before this was planned.
And cities have been blow up a lot as well, does that mean they should not have villians attacking cities?
Soldiers have been killed in wars quite a lot as well. Those that mean that Mordremoth should not have destroyed the Pact, but rather invited them for tea or something?
One can always make connections between stuff. But if they should take all that into consideration there would never be anything at all released.
They haven’t even finished identifying the bodies. There is such a thing as tact, maybe lordkrall you find the concept alien, but a company like Anet shouldn’t.

By this logic we best not show an entire race being victimised and outcast from society even murdered in cold blood. Oh wait like the sylvari have been, Strange how you don’t here out rage about this on the German forum?
And in the wake of such tragedies events are often rescheduled or canceled.
So they should simply have to potentially scrap every single piece of created content, because at the time they plan to release it something have happened in the world that can be seen as connected to it?
wow if you dont see the obvious connection between this and jesus on the cross or that a lot of people laughed and then had sad thoughts about dead people on crashed airplanes, because of recent events, i find you blind and unempathetic.
I think this is very bad taste and they should have not gone through with it, even if planned.

It’s the time frame that makes it offensive. If your grandfather died on a ship that was sunk, along with many others… you would not find an emote released the same week of a sailor saluting and slowly sinking into the ground as offensive? Maybe play some “wa-wa-wa” music while you’re at it.
If you can’t see the issue, then there’s no use in arguing with you.
They haven’t even finished identifying the bodies. There is such a thing as tact, maybe lordkrall you find the concept alien, but a company like Anet shouldn’t.
Oh, it is all terrible and all that. But a company can’t build a game around that. Since there is ALWAYS things happening.
People are being killed daily by bombs or rifles or whatever. Cities are being bombarded. People are starving. People are being abused or tortured. Every single day.
The only reason people react now is because it is a well-published thing happening in a western country. Had the same thing happened in Africa people would have already forgotten about it more or less.
This is a joke that is being viewed funny by some and insensitive/annoying by others…which pretty much describes every April Fool’s Day joke I’ve ever heard of
I do feel that, from a “keeping your customers happy” standpoint, the option to turn it off would have been smart. But I also realize that the world will keep spinning and that this will eventually be over and forgotten.
While I did hope to catch up on the LS on one of my characters tonight, I’ll take the opportunity to clear some shows off my DVR instead. Still a win for me at least…
I don’t think our German friends are appreciating this either. Please shut it off.
There is always someone ready and waiting to be offended on someone elses account. Its nothing at all to do with any plane crash.
It is an allusion to a very old bug.

Honestly. If you people can’t chill out and a take a break from your regular MMO activities ONE DAY A YEAR then you seriously need to go outside and find something other than MMOs to do with your life.
RE post he speaks the true
get some perspective on life so sad people are reacting in this way!
Screw you! I get one day off a month, this happens, and that’s your response? Get a job kid. Not a McD one. A REAL ONE where you work 5-7 days a week 12 hours a day on salary. Then you’d be kitten’d too when you can’t play. Honestly, it’s the go with the status quo children like you in this world that make me question the next generation.
