What the F Anet. I just got back into this game about a month ago, and was so excited for SAB, it’s probably my favorite “April Fools” thing that any game does.

And today, I log in, and see that I will lose all of my buffs, permanently, if I enter SAB.

As I said, I just came back to this game, and ate SIX celebration boosters.

So I have what, 5 days and some hours of buffs that I get to joyfully release and never use again if I want to participate in SAB? Yay. Thanks guys for making sure that whatever buffs you have you lose permanently. I won’t give up my buffs, so now I just get to miss out on something I’d been looking forward to eagerly, because for whatever reason you decided this just wouldn’t be an issue for anyone.

Seriously guys?

You don’t have stats in SAB, so play any character you want in there, it makes no difference.

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

Though he’d have to get all the SAB ‘upgrades’ again on a new character.

Choices. SAB is out for another 18 days or so. They can go through the buffs that they have and then play it.

It does seem a bit odd that they cannot just nullify the buffs when you are in SAB though.

The unlocks are per character.

So if all your progress was done in a character, you are stuck with that one, unless you plan on getting all the unlocks again.

There is no reason you cannot have a dedicated SAB character. everything is equalized inside so you can use a kittenty level 1 bank alt if you so desire. boom problem solved

It’s not like the buff situation is anything new. Sounds like, from the OP, this is content previously enjoyed; thus, there was always the chance (albeit small) it could return for April Fool’s Day.

I think, what with data-mining and the current announcements from ArenaNet, the chance of returning this April Fool’s Day was less small than any other time.

Still, either wait out the buffs, or use another character until they expire, are the options.

Good luck.

It hasn’t happened to the OP. They read the warning…

I did read the warning, and I don’t really have another alt. I made a character to level up via crafting, but they’ve got zero anything else. I’m just upset that there’s one tiny little thing that doesn’t seem like it’s that difficult to fix, but is making it really prohibitive for me to play. 5 days and 23 hours of celebration booster left….At the rate that I play, this booster will easily last me a couple months.

Just disappointing, this seems like such an ANet manufactured issue.

I can’t believe they’ve not fixed this flaw. This was around last time. Having people lose boosters is an overbearing penalty for merely wanting to play the minigame.

Most activities just render your buffs inactive. If entering pvp made all my buffs disappear, I’d never go in there. Ya sure, I could make another character, but are you really expecting me to devote an entire slot to this nonsense? Are character slots free now? Anyone going to send me gems for some? I would definitely agree there is no issue if that were the case. Want to stop the patronizing? Me too.

It’s just a QoL disaster. Workarounds are an irrelevant red herring when the issue shouldn’t exist in the first place and it’s highly unlikely OP wasn’t exactly unaware of the workarounds to begin with.

How’s it a bug when they warn you of this happening before you enter?

Create an Alt specifically for SAB and name him Super Coppermind.
Doesn’t matter what lvl alt is for exciting adventures.

You don’t even have to devote an entire new slot for it. Just use a pre existing character. You were willing to devote your main to it so doing it for an alt shouldn’t matter.

Existing chacters are irrelevant to the topic because those slots still have value and having them reserved for this purpose feels like quite a hassle if I know I have to kitten them and leave them without boosts for an extended period of time.

Personally, I have 8 characters devoted to certain specific purposes, and I don’t find that to be adequate that I need to restrict one to that degree.

But, Again. That is just sidestepping the issue. Deflecting this onto the player doesn’t change the nature of the complaint.

This is the same as if someone were complaining about a pothole and they did find a detour but then just dismissed any input about fixing said pothole.

And we are not talking about throwaway buffs either.

The player base can’t fix your “pothole” so please try to not get testy about the fact they’re not… they’re doing what’s in their power to do, and that’s help you think of ways to deal with your problem: ways to go around your “pothole.”

You brought up your complaint: awesome. There’s a chance someone in ANet has read it; that the persons who can fix potholes are aware you’re upset. But, if you’re not open to the other players helping you realize your options, then maybe next time make that clear in your op? at least be open to others helping you with your options?

P.S. All buffs are throw-away buffs.

Edit: fixed a bad mistake on my part. Sorry.

I’d love to make it clear but as you see I didn’t make the original post.

I don’t remember getting mad at players for being able or unable to fix it, only that another dimension to the OP hasn’t been addressed well.and people could try to understand the op better.

And the booster is limited enogh to make me a bit cautious of their use.

I made a character to level up via crafting

There you go. Problem solved. That’s all you need. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t have anything else. You could have a lv 2 alt with 10 inventory slots and no equipment, and it would be maximum strength for SAB.
