GW april fools 2012, what will it be?

[MisterB]

Open beta for GW1

or

Have Dhuum going around randomly killing people in towns (without banning ofc)

I like those, but add MOAR trolling!

* Send logins to a fake GW2 beta, and load players into GW1 Alpha with GW2 UI overlay.
* Actually do faked bans on players with Dhuum, including the error=45.
* Add lots of fake random error codes at random intervals.
* Add (fake) rare loot drops all over the place, in multiple quantities, but make them disappear when attempting retrieval.
* Assign fake drops(in server chat) to minions, spirits, and allied NPCs. Bonus points for assigning loot to signs, summon stones, and minis.
* Print the list of deleted loot drops that are assigned to heroes and henchmen or deleted due to loot scaling in server chat.
* In PvP, display target's health, energy, and skill bar in a side panel like the hero panel. Also display small weapon sets underneath. For bonus points, display target's armor rating and effects monitor.


None of this would happen, because it's terrible customer service, support would be flooded, and players would panic and/or rage.

I really liked the gender change one, that was fun. I realized that not all men look bad in GW1 ;)

The April's fool shouldn't interfere with gameplay though. I think the best jokes are the ones where the recipient can laugh with you. Faked login errors can be perceived as real errors, and even if not, it's still be genuinely upsetting not being able to play.

It'd be pretty funny, for example, to show player models upside down. Or replace all skill icons by fishes.

It'd be pretty funny, for example, to replace all player models with flopping, gasping fishes.

I fixed that for you.

How does a wet trout slap another wet trout with a wet trout?! I must know!

Or make all skin drops the ecto skin.

[Alaris]

Ponies. Rainbow ponies.
