Guild Wars 2

Just saw them under achievements, did I miss something in the patch notes?

I must know where and what is this!

I am curious about this also, and it really perked my interest.

i haven’t finish updating the game but am guessing reward box that gives player when they reach X amount of achievement points? since the achievement leader board won;’t show untill 1-2 weeks. they might add the reward once the system is good to go?

The achievements available indicate it’s the super challenging/fun jumping puzzle that has been talked about since Wintersday.

Seriously, did I miss something?

Check back on Monday, maybe? :-)

New type of achievements. Anybody know where to find them?

I’m wondering this too.

You think they would have picked a better name. Doesn’t everyone remember the South Park episode with the Super Adventure Club? I hope this isn’t based off of that.

New “Super” weapon skins in the sPvP locker!

Strange Box appears in Rata Sum

Stuff is going down! Can’t wait to find out what this is about

I am unreasonably excited for this.

This explains where all the dev power that should have been in Frost and Fedex has been. Hopefully this will pan out for the better.

Got a [Continue Coin – Grant’s a player five lives inside the super adventure box. See moto in Rata Sum for details on how to play] during a jumping puzzle I was doing. Guess it isn’t open yet cause I am at Moto and he won’t let me enter.

Does this sound like a very well planned April’s fools day joke to anyone? I have played guildwars for a long time and this totally sounds like something they would do xD

Agree w/Storm…

This isn’t an April Fools joke. This is the new huge Jumping puzzle they’ve been hinting at for a while. Look at the achievement you get from it “Distinction in applied Jumping”. And it requires you to complete other JPs to get in it (get the coins that give you lives, obtained at other JPs).

So excited. I wonder when it opens. They are such a tease.

adventure box, whazup?!?

Just did six jumping puzzles and got 2 continue coins, this is super exciting!!

Guys, don’t you remember the Clocktower designer talking about a new big, changing jumping puzzle coming?
This seems to be it.

You do jps outside in the open world, earn those coins, which you then use in the mega jp to continue. Seems a hard, oldschool platformer, with many traps, annoying death spots and other goodies. Yay!

Well its called Super Adventure Box
We have Archievments related to “World 1” “Zone 3” or so…
Then we have the 8Bit spoiler of the April patch site.

Why do i have some Super Mario Bros flashbacks?

What was on the April patch site before it got taken down? I was unable to see it.

Some 8-Bit Headbanner.

Oh, appeaerently there are also “continue coins” you can get from daily chests and Jumping puzzles

Moto = Creator of Mario, Link, etc…

This is going to be awesome.

Sounds like a fractal version of a jumping puzzle.

Anyone else see this new achievement category? What is this for?

Got a [Continue Coin – Grant’s a player five lives inside the super adventure box. See moto in Rata Sum for details on how to play] got is from a jumping puzzle. But moto won’t let me enter atm.

Guess its part of the retro thing they have for April 1st this year, achievements for the ingame games

Where did they say anything about retro?

Just completed zone 1 in world 1 and I got a precursor from the end chest

Pic or it never happened.
Also, please wait until Apr 1st to start with this

Jasta.1094:

going to spoiler it incase people dont want to know anything about it:

Change system clock to April 1st, login to your character select with music turned on.

That has nothing to do with the achievements though, unless that music is what’s going to play when you play the super adventure box.

just noticed something about the new super weapons in the pvp locker. doesnt that sword on the shield sort of resemble the master sword from the legend of zelda? and that pedastel it is in looks similar too, its a stretch but it feels possible to me. also when the shield is stowed the sword disappears

Check PvP locker in the mists for “Super” weapon skins. They look very nice! It seems they are from that place. Can’t wait! :-x

I’ll be aiming straight for the super great sword and staff………although I hold out hope for a hammer.

Great swords get all the best skins

Indeed. i think they do GS is cuz is easy to design big sword with decent affect and alot of classes use GS

why can’t there be a super hammer? yet again, hammer warriors (or guardians) are out of luck :/

the bird perched on the super staff looks cool, and even has its own animations! pecking at the ground and flapping its wings… guess it’s time to level an ele.

This may be the best April’s Fool surprise ever

Just what we need in the game. Yeah, I play MMOs to rehash tired old N64 garbage. Wow. They took development hours to do this.

Incredible. Just.. speechless. This is just more worm Pac Man and Asura Pokemon, both failures in GW1.

You take that back immediately! N64 is the greatest thing that ever happened in the history of humanity!

For my generation Space Invaders was… and I never want to see that, or Pong, in an MMO either.

I’m so stoked for this! I’ve been dying for more mini-games that have some actual depth to them, regardless of the style. . . I really hope this isn’t an April fool’s prank.

Also, just felt like mentioning that there’s no reason to hate this kind of stuff. It won’t change the overall game and you’re not forced to indulge in it, so just go about playing the other 98% of GW2. Leave peeps like me to enjoy our little portion. xD

A disturbing thought just appeared in my head. What if the JPs for this one and the environment is 2D? Like an actual old Nintendo/SNES game?

Fair enough. I forgive you.

looks like the super fun box is not activated for now, so ppl can stack on coins for now and then use in the “arcade” super fun box later when its open,
also check out how the controller looks on next to the fun box lol its just like a Nintendo controller
add to that the game sound when u change ur computer date into Apr 1st, its ether a fools day joke or some really super awesome game.

I think they could very well be testing how well it is recieved to get unique skins that way. If it works out and it becomes popular, this could be one step in the alternative way to get precursors in the future.

I agree, though, that it will probably be hard as nails to get the skins from this box.

I think this could be a massive april fools Hope I am wrong but that shield. . . Someone mentioned it before and Yes IT IS the sword of time from Zelda – Ocarina of time. just google it if you haven’t played the game. whilst I would love to see it make its way intro the game it is seeming less and less likely.

That would be great! The camera would be locked and you could move only from left to right. _
