Unofficial Update Speculation

Is that this is an update for April fools and will have some effect on the game at Midnight PST.

Wrong Description?

I dunno if I can trust this update despriction. In a way though it seems viable, seeing as it is April Fools Tommorrow

lol just because its the first still doesnt mean 5mb of updates where fluked Dominator Matrix 04:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Is that better? --TigerWolf 04:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yup :) Dominator Matrix 04:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

IM SO ANXIOUS to see whats gonan happen

Waits to see Guild Wars blow up... lol! No, I'm curious to see what my characters look when their genders are turned :D 118.92.12.97 04:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

lol you mean GW blow up agian? :P Ya me to..it will be werid to see my Dervish in a different gender. Dominator Matrix 05:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Blew up... talk about lag central... 118.92.12.97 05:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hell yeah.

Finally I get to see what my d00d will look like as a woman.

Maybe. Vael Victus 04:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Add a little flavour to it ;-) its all speculation either way ;-) [War Cow]

well I just nearly cleared the area outside LA on my monk w/o hero mm (no other party memebers) and didnt get any new drops, and im not seeing anything different....guess we are waiting on 12 mid PST for the update to go live?--Ryudo 05:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yuppers Dominator Matrix 05:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

sigh, looks like Imma fail my networking quiz tomorrow then. Cant sleep till I see what it is.

Stupid routing protocols, why must you be so complicated...--Ryudo 05:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Longer then usual?

There taking there time posting the RSS updates....so either its secret or its the Gaile farewell party pre-downloaded...Dominator Matrix 06:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

april's fool?

maybe anet are preparing some kind of joke on us?  ;-)

Nope, this is a permanent change. Check the Guru and GWO forums, there was a petition there with over 9000 signatures. ANet listens to the community, eh Saphatorael 10:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Stick Figures

LOL... --Valshia 07:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed, my guy turned into a stick figure aftea cut scene, all heroes retained their models.

Really original! Sanderevers 07:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

One thing to say: AWESOME MEGAPWNTEHNUBCAEKS (I put a FDS on a stick figure, mega pwnage.) Ninjas In The Sky 07:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it just me or do necros display ranger amour in the amour panel? o.o 68.151.27.108 07:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the stick figures all use male ranger emotes, so I suppose it's possible. --Valshia 07:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Even avatar dosnt change your apparence.Darkdawn 09:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Could've made something more original, but it's nice. At one point it's annoying, I can't change my runes in PvP. Ninjas In The Sky 14:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Pretty neat idea I suppose..or they were lazy and forgot about April Fools last minute and decided to do a stick figure. Either/or works :P — ク Eloc 貢 15:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I loved this on my derv! It was so cool watching my derv spin around with that scythe in the stick figure form.--Bleded Scythe 08:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed - Slim Fast has taken over Anet

I lost 120 pounds in 1 hour!
Thanks Slim Fast!

--Shadowphoenix 07:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I no longer have to go on that weight loss program. Woot! 118.92.12.97 07:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Only one thing to say: GUILD WARS!!!!!!!! --‎ Rayd 15:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I liked

gender changing better....wanted a tonic for it T_T--Ryudo 07:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Pre-Searing Ascalon is not affected by the April Fools' Day.

Until we get a pic of an unchanged level 20 in pre, it's just that (almost) everyone there are low levels. I removed the note. Foo

Weirdness

After leaving the Avatars (dervish forms) my character does the "No" emote a few times. happens every time. 118.92.12.97 09:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Tis werid...very werid 68.151.27.108 09:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I get the same thing when I try to use Transmogrifer & Yuletide tonics, I interpret it as the Stickman refusing to look different.

PvP runes

I always get shown ranger armor in the "J" menu. Why? Is anet trying to tell us rangers pwn? Ninjas In The Sky 14:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe how Anet did this was change all lvl 20's to rangers w/ rangers armor, and then converted those into stick figures. Guess it makes a bit of sense on a programming level.--Ryudo 15:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Stealth Aspects?

I hate to be the chump who brings this up, because someone always does, but I'm getting reports that Inner Fire is working on Destroyers now and Patient Spirit now heals for less under Healer's Covenant. These are new behaviours, that didn't exist before, my guess is they slipped into the April Fools Build without ANet noticing, so they didn't release update notes, but hopefully they will later. Anyone able to confirm or refute? Misery 15:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Dunno, I'll have to test that out when I got time. — ク Eloc 貢 15:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hairdressers

...are no longer needed, lmao Cstrabley 19:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Bubbles?

So if we dip our heads into soapy water and then run around, will we make bubble trails? --Shaia 19:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

My guess is yes, but the big problem is to find soapy water in GW 85.16.238.77 15:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Trouble logging in?

Has anyone else had trouble logging in since this update? I can get the login screen to come up, but when I enter my info and press "login", the game freezes on me. Perhaps there is massive lag on the servers or something, I don't really know. Just wanted to throw this out there.--Zakek Xek talk 19:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I can log in but it sure as heck lags a lot, thx to the whole stick figure thing probably--The Forsaken One 20:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

O and if you can login don't ab! as its slower then molass. 68.151.27.108 20:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
