Bug Fixes:

Updated the monthly achievements for April.

Huh?

My spidey senses are all a-tingle. April Fools joke incoming

It’s totally not the April’s Fool. I swear by Dwayna’s blessed undies.

It means that Aprils Monthly Achievements were already patched in (with the WvW Tournament Achievements i guess) and they made adjustments to it.

My guess is that they dont plan to make another patch until april 1st. Even, if they plan a patch on April 1st, they usually patch after the Daily/Monthly would reset, so they did it now, on a Monday, were usually arent that much people playing.

They updated them for April.

Just because it’s not currently April doesn’t mean they can’t make adjustments to them.

“monthly achievements” is code for whatever april fools patch they have coming.

I’m guessing the achievements were patched in shortly before, but they took them out before dataminers could ruin the surprise.

Someone try setting the clock to April 01 and see if it changes anything ingame.

Done already. No 8 bit music on character select.
Cant see April Achi´s or start wvw tourney.

Or maybe the client looks at the server time and not the client time, that’s what I would have done since clients can do things like change their local time.

It was client side a year or so ago, then people kept posting upcoming daily/monthlies and they changed it to server side.

Can’t those patches be postponed untill the april patch? Kind of annoying having to restart my game for nothing.

It might be annoying to some people if the April Monthly wasn’t updated until April 15th. Just sayin’……

Not sure why they did it when the servers were probably at their busiest. Kicked everybody out of WvW. I know on my server they ruined a pretty big golem rush. Just seems like a silly idea to pick the time they did.

The standard time for maintenance builds was always Tuesday, not Monday. Something must have been really important if they changed the schedule.

Maybe they are starting to roll out some of the framework for the upcoming features. I don’t mind having several smaller patches to help get some of the groundwork in, and then it just has to be ‘activated.’ Much preferable to me, then to have one huge freaking patch and I can’t even play that night because it’s not done downloading… (repeatedly had that issue with LS updates).

Oh how I hate my internet… and my schedule.
