@Roderick.5089
Didn’t you read? They already said they are aware and working on it o.0

Not fast enough!. 1 hour is too much for me, it ruined my daily schedule!, by now i would have already done my daily, Tequatl, and daily ascended crafting material!!

Life must be hard man
My condolences.

My lovely mesmer, exploring some of the gorgeous areas of Ember Bay.

I really love that we finally see the sun and have sun flares now

That’s a very informative, clear and well explained bug report you have there.

So clear I don’t seem to understand what your problem is.

Mel.8495:

You better give us at least 800 gems compensation for the inconvenience

Stop being greedy, seriously…disgusting

We loose over 2 hours of progress and cannot play the game all evening

Oh my god!!
Wars have been started for less than this!!! OUTRAGE!

You lost 2 hours of progress, you gained a few extra hours of stuff you can do in life. It’s ok, you’ll survive.

Hitch.7295:

So what should I do?
Go outside for awhile?

This is dangerous, and should not be attempted until you’ve consulted with your primary care physician.

I recommend playing something on your console until this issue has been resolved.

Nah, why bother doing that, when you can just stare at this screen for hours and press F5 every few seconds?

Azala Yar.7693:

Except that someone with a more “mature outlook” wouldn’t be whining about a game all day on forum, especially for an event that lasts only 24h.

That’s actually a very childish outlook.

Not really your problem? Well guess what. Your annoyances are not really theirs either I guess.

It’s just 24h… Just a day. But it sounds like the end of the world for so many people.

Because it’s their game and they decide what to do with it.

And if you’re an unhappy customer, you move on to something else… unless you are a masochist, then carry on!

Tigaseye.2047:

Zaklex.6308:

Here’s why you shouldn’t expect a toggle off option…when someone pranks you on April Fool’s Day do you get the option to opt out of it? No, so why should anyone expect to get the option to opt-out of A.nets April Fool’s Day joke on all of the players?

Here’s why you should expect a toggle off option:

When someone pranks you on April Fools Day, it never lasts a full 24 hours and when someone pranks you after 12 noon, traditionally, the joke is considered to be “on them”.

Ah… then explain me this.

How do you cope with a game that covers all timezones? Hmmm?

But on April 1st, you don’t get to choose if pranks are played on you or not

Or you just stay home and disconnect.

Is it ok now? Is the dust settled? Can trolls go back to hibernate until the next patch now?

Are we going to have people offended because murders are committed every minute on this game?

Arikyali.5804:

To arms my good friend, to arms!"

But you don’t have arms. You’re an airplane!

It would be faster to buy it

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Wardrobe…in bank. The Hero Panel is different.

Ah, my bad.

The Hero panel only shows outfits, not all the pieces of armor.

People are quick to forget fulfilled promises, but always remember broken ones.

Can you also do a list of what they promised and delivered? (For a game that doesn’t even have a monthly fee?).

You can find most armors in this gallery here (I assume you were looking for human female heavy armor? If not, scroll to the bottom and pick what you want).

Thanks for the daily report.

You can leave it on my desk and take the day off once you put it all on an excel sheet. Good job.

If people cared about false promises from a game dev as much as broken promises from politicians.. The world could’ve been a better place.

But you know.. priorities

One thing that this update teaches us though, is that people have forgotten the true purpose of a game..
I thought it was first and foremost to have.. you know… fun

Bellizare.5816:

TBH, I logged in, and pretty much all that I am encountering are NPCs.

On a Wednesday afternoon.

True. Just feels more empty than normal. Map chat regarding the fooling is pretty much negative though. And that from the folks who are logged on.

I don’t mind it, but it does make fighting a bit tricky.

Maybe it’s not a day to fight?

It’s a good day to be an airplane! Nggeeeeeeewwwwwww

Test.8734:

uknortherner.2670:

A “huge” outcry by professional moaners and attention seekers who represent probably 1% of the total GW2 population?

Do you have any evidence that only “1% of the total GW2 population” feels annoyed by this update?

Do you have evidence that a huge majority of people are unhappy?

Stop living in the future!

Here we go again.

You see this screenshot?
YOU SEE IT? It has Germanwings plane crash written ALL OVER IT! Outrageous!

Brace yourselves… Expert financial analysts are coming.

Well…….

Take a break? Only a few hours left.

I’d much rather be an airplane than a humorless bitter and angry person.

That goth-emo-happy face looks scary! Haha.

It’s not like we have 200 similar threads with also similar arguments already.

We need MOAR!

This is escalating very quickly. We’ve already reached Human Rights and stuff..

Is this really a games forum? Or is this all a big joke? Heh.

There are White Knights.

There are Black Knights.

And there’s Batman.

I also enjoy the hypocrisy of the offended crowd.

“I feel so sad for the people who have suffered losses during this tragic event.. Therefore, I’m going to log in an online game from the comfort of my home, and go on a crusade on the forums against those who do not share my empathy.

I have done a good deed today………

Now if only I can go WvW/sPvP and kill some kittens".

Sounds about right!

On April 1st, you don’t have a choice.

Either you accept the pranks played on you, or you disconnect and hide under your bed for 24h.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Yup, for a day. One day out of the year. You’re more than welcome to take a break for the day if it’s that bothersome; the game will still be there after the change goes away tonight.

Because inconveniencing a large portion of your playerbase for only 1 day is better than putting in a simple command to turn it off. Don’t go into business anytime soon.

Did you just emerge from the ground and discovered Internet on April 1st?

You think the thousands of websites out there ask for your feedback about what they should do on this day?

Vague post is vague.

How did they hack?

It’s true that, when tragedy strikes, our first reaction is to go play an online game and be offended by jokes.

/Sadface is optional though.

Vulpus.2483:

ACTUALLY CONSIDER: If GW2 had suddenly included content that depicted an air disaster I would most definitely get your point, but this faux, contrived moral outrage because ’there’s planes in it!’ is laughable, absurd, childish and slightly pathetic.

I think you’re misunderstanding me though

I am not outraged at all about what I see as a joke, which has absolutely NO relation with what happened. I’m big enough to understand it’s an April’s fool joke.

Vulpus.2483:

Styxx.1564:

I missed the official sheet that mentions the timeframe after which it’s acceptable to forget about a tragedy, shrug it off, and continue joking about it without hurting anyone.

Can someone send it to me please?

Get off your white charger and stop with the silly crusading. I actually find it more insensitive when the moral outrage trolls desperately find comparisons for issues like this in order to have some pointless, self-righteous forum crusade about it.

And yet… you didn’t answer the question about how long we should wait until a tragedy becomes acceptable?

And I don’t sit on my charger. It’s hot.

I’m in the game right now. There are a lot of people playing.
I’m adult enough to know how to separate things.
I have humor and I don’t get easily offended by trivial jokes.

And..

I don’t need your hope, thanks. I have plenty in me

zinkz.7045:

lordkrall.7241:

Tragedies happens every single day.
Going by this logic they would never be able to release anything at all, since it will always be possible to make a connection to said tragedy.

True, but on the other hand do you think they would of run this 7 days after 9/11? (this question is rhetorical by the way)

I missed the official sheet that mentions the timeframe after which it’s acceptable to forget about a tragedy, shrug it off, and continue joking about it without hurting anyone.

Can someone send it to me please?

On that note…

Tequatl’s Tsunami strike is very insensitive.

/s

I live in Spain. I don’t see a lot of tears around here.

It’s Spring, people are out, enjoying, laughing, having beer and tapas. How insensitive.

Vykoz.7803:

i dont make the headlines, i find us gun killings apaling, but its a kittened up world where this doesnt make head lines.

Only really major disasters do, like this airplane crash.

how can you not see the difference?

I don’t see a difference. A human life is a human life.
It’s not “more important” because it got “news coverage”.

And it doesn’t have a place in a GAME.

Vykoz.7803:

US daily gun killings/problems are not considered a major disaster that has contries in tears and is not reported on the news world wide.

9/11 on the other hand was, and i doubt a lof of americans would laugh hard at this joke a week after that, i for sure wouldnt.

So, people dying every day due to guns is not a disaster, therefore “who cares about them”, right? It’s not like a major disaster covered by the news!

I’m glad there’s a scale about how important a death should be viewed.

And, more importantly, let’s not forget to apply real world “REAL tragedies” to whatever game we’re playing. Even if there’s barely any connection.

So glad you opened a new thread to talk about this. Someone had to bring it up!

Like.. srsly.

The purpose of an April Fool’s theme is to make a joke, or not take anything seriously.

Some people fail at it though.

Aedelric.1287:

Nokaru.7831:

Aedelric.1287:

It is too soon, plain and simple.

The joke’s based on an old bug from 2012. (Link)

That does not stop it being offensive, obviously it was unintentional, but that does not stop it being very inconsiderate of Arena Net to still go ahead with the “joke”.

As a joke it still is not that good, most people find the effect and sounds aggravating regardless of the recent crash.

What’s the offensive part about it? Please do explain clearly!

Is it the fact that there’s an airplane? (We should close down airports too then, too offensive all these planes flying around after such a tragedy).
Is it the fact that the character is doing what every child does? (We should beat up our insensitive kids).

Is your character running around crashing into stuff and killing other people? THAT might be insensitive.

Is it just you trying to appear holier-than-though? Hmm….

It’s a sad world when people can’t take a 24h break from a game to go out/enjoy life, and have to come whine for hours on a forum.

Priorities.. sigh

And if ANet had pulled out the joke in the last minute, people would be furious that there was no April Fool’s special joke this year.

Nope, I don’t think it’s a good idea.

The great thing about having new races is the lore that surrounds it. It has to make sense, and it has to be present in the living world.
I don’t want to have new races running around Tyria, wondering how they popped here or not able to learn more about them.

New races might come eventually, we have the Tengu and the Kodan for example already present. Who knows?
