Guild Wars 2

LittleFoot MacLoyd.6032:

18 mins till official April 1st server time. 18 mins till #SABorRiot!

It’s just an airplane mode..

7 mins to rage again! #SABorRiot !

(though there are more chances that Half Life 3 is announced…)

What are these 7 minutes people talk about?
The reset was almost an hour ago, and this years April Fools have already been released.

3 minutes to sab of riot xD

Look at server time. The reset happens at 12 a.m.

apparently anet doesnt know/care what the community wants

THE PORT IS IN RATA SUM THE TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The SAB is a lie!
The SAB is a lie!
The SAB is a lie!

Why? We just wanted back our dear SAB T_T.

It all had led to this

How hard can it be to bring back at least world 1 and 2??? Takes them a few minutes… but even that seems to be too much -.- screw you :<

RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very, very disappointed in you, Anet.

Honestly I believe they might bring SAB back soon but for sure not today.. it would be kinda lame to reopen it on 1st April.. and might also only be a joke since it might Close again on second. I think they are Aware that we really want sab and will open it on the next days. They released SAB miniatures in the Black Lion chest, the filter you have with the April’s fool is the same they had in the SAB promo Video. as far as I remember…

Except for the fact that the game have changed quite a bit since last time, which could very well mean that W1 and W2 would be quite broken, which would require quite a bit of rewriting of code and such.

People seems to think that just because something worked 1,5 years ago, it is possible to just press a button and have it back in the game again, despite the game having had multiple rather large changes since.

Riots all over rata sum

I’m so disapointed.. Anet ruined everything… and the super minipets in the black lion chest is just cruel..everyone was hoping SAB when they put them there… I can’t believe they won’t open the SAB.. Guild Wars is such a big part of my life now….I feel betrayed. Anet doesn’t gets us players.. It is so great to see everyone at Rata Sum..maybe Anet doesn’t deserve this awesome community anymore..
T_T

So not releasing sab is as always dissapointing but releasing the minis and then not releasing sab is i feel kind of rude :/

Just another of Anet’s many disappointments. Yeah, the airplane thing was cute for about 2 minutes. Then I logged out for the rest of the 24 hours, instead of spending hours introducing my new-player friend to SAB like I’d hoped.

So much for your vaunted “returning content”.

Yeah it feels like a slap in the face after the patch notes about the minis, I didn’t think it was going to happen up until then but after I was almost certain. I guess that’s what you get for believing in ArenaNet.

give us sab or we will start killing mini pets 1 every hour till we have sab starting with mini queen jenna

I am really really really sad.. I dont feel like logging on.

Marlick.3901:

Same. Don’t even feel like standing around in Rata Sum to join the mock-“protest”. I’m fed up with this and donn’t want my having been logged in to add a data point for them to consider this day a success.

Im going sleep, no sab this year. Will back in next year.

I am disappoint.

And the mini’s are a cruel joke if they aren’t leading to something, and if they ARE leading to something there should be an announcement.

settle down a bit and wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow morning it will be april 1st everywhere so true april fools day. Also the latest patch had numerous bugs so no idea how that might have affected SAB. Maybe they are working on fixing it atm.

That said Im so disappointed as well ;_:

Yep, not even going to have “fun” with a riot. Logging off to play landmark now.

I can’t sum up my feelings any better than you did. Disappointed.

Time to sleep. Had enough riot for today.
Tomorrow I will definetively raise a ticket requesting for a gem refund on my infinite continue coin….

Psdt: That teasing regarding the SAB minipets in the patch notes was rather nasty from you T_T

It is really going to hurt if the mini pets are not a precursor to SAB opening. Until reset tomorrow night, I will be logged in next to the Box. I know Anet may not care, but I owe it to Moto for the great times I had.

RioT!

Hmm how to riot?
Oh yeah log out and play something else until I get word of them actually implementing SAB. Even added in the Mini’s and not to mention airplanes with a 1940’s screen the WW2 esque feel around the time a plane crash involving germanwings is plastered all over the news…

Something wrong with this entire picture…

Someone at Anet must really hate SAB

kittens sake anet just give us SAB already we don’t care if you didn’t make a new world just give us World 1 and 2 what else are we suppose to do while we wait for an expansion that won’t be released for at least several months

In other news, Nintendo games sell really cheap on Ebay.

We just want World 1 and 2 … Just listen your players Anet !!
WE WANT SAB !

TT Quaggan wants SAB!

Despite my opinion of SAB, I just don’t understand why people can’t understand “no” when it’s being told to them over and over. Anet has already stated SAB isn’t in the current plans. How many times do you have to let yourself down before you believe them? Also, stop hating on Anet when YOU do this to yourselves. They have already given everyone an answer, now believe it or continue to be disappointed. I agree with wanting to know what are we suppose to do in the meantime, but throwing a fit about something anets already told you isn’t the answer.

I have toons of mini queen Jenna to kill lol

GIVE US SAB NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We want SAB !! NOW !! please Anet Give It to us !!!

All of that would make lots of sense except for the infinite continue coin.

It still makes perfect sense. SAB doesn’t fit into the current direction of the game. Not saying its never coming back, but they never promised a date. IF anything, what you can bank on is not any time soon, as they’ve stated. Which is why I don’t get people getting so worked up when it didn’t come today, as anet already hinted it wouldn’t.

Lopez.7369:

There have been rumors for a while that people at ANet really do hate SAB because it detracts from the core game or whatever. I think this kind of confirms it. There’s really no reason to not switch it on each year.

What could they expect when they give us companions like DE 2.0? I’m excited about HoT but dealing with the scooby gang again really puts me off.

Anet give us plane this year? ok….let’s fly…no…Let’s JUMP for SAB!

Anet, can you see how many people are dying for SAB now?

You don’t think that releasing SAB miniatures was/is a huge teaser?

Then what about them putting the sab minis in the black lion chests? Doesn’t that seem to be in bad taste considering how it would obviously affect everyones hopes?

Honestly, opening a ticket tomorrow to see if i can get a refund for my infinite continue coin, i really regret buying the thing, the only thing i can say that for in game….in any game…

SAB could have easily been turned on for April Fools and it wouldn’t have wasted nearly as much development time since it is, technically, already in game as compared to the 24 hour long, forced 1919 airplane mode. Not only that, but anyone who didn’t want to participate in April Fools (RPers, those who don’t enjoy being frozen above the waist) could have ignored it completely. One day of SAB would have been greatly appreciated over this, and I hate SAB.

How does 1919 airplane mode fit in with the current direction of the game?

SAB W3 confirmed to have airplanes and WWI combat!

no wonder they released fps mode

Actually it does fit… Its Asura invention at RATA SUM, unless you dont know anything about Rata Sum or Asura I guess you can think it wouldn’t fit hehe.

Well played with the misdirection with the miniatures, Anet. Well played.

Probably because the post that skyrocketed this merged thread said Yes, it’s coming back, not the “no” your trying to sell. That was over 6 months ago too. So technically, it’s already the “future” that Gaile mentioned also. So it wasn’t totally outside the range of possibilty that it could have came out today.

I honestly wasn’t expecting a SAB this time around either, but I do agree the SAB minis was a nasty tease. Thought it was fun to hang out with about 6-7 devs through the course of the day today in Rata though.
