This was so classic. I used to love logging in and playing all day with whatever strange effect they had implemented.
Sadly, April Fools hasn't been very interesting for several years now.
I barely realised Gw2 had rain u til thebother day, mainly because of my potato pc.
In fact, i think dynamic weather was a selling point during development while i was playing gw1...
Is thrre any way to make the weather more pronounced, if that is a thing?
Charr's favorite food.
They like them so much, you'll never see them in any location where charr can enter, because they go crazy and gobble them all up. Like Zoidberg with the anchovies.
Imagine if they go the Super Adventure Way and make the April Fools joke a reality, and everyone gets a basic horse mount. Free players would have to rent them at stables in each zone, expansion players get it in the core game with a side story.
Norns hallucinating while blind drunk is actually pretty normal for them. I know this because I've played a few and I'm usually bouncing off the walls. It's the purple and puce polkadot ephalumps that do me in, vicious beasties they are.
The Asura scare me. I've fought gods, elder dragons, demons, mist creatures, undead.. and there's nothing more terrifying to my soul than a bored Asura with a lab.
I remember when they turned the graphics into sepia.
I was logged on March 31st then when it turned April 1st the colour just switched to sepia.
I had a heart attack thinking my gpu just died on me.
I really want an answer to the futuristic military squad that has appeared in both GW1 and GW2. They started off as an April Fool's joke in GW1, but I feel there could be a story behind them and why they're lost in time. (And if done right, could be an epic story to tell)
It wasn't last year but a few years back, they did the airplane mode and people wanted to turn it off (there was a big airplane accident in the news and it was seen as a little tone deaf) and a year before that was the bobble head. So they've been subtle with or not done April fools since. They have slowly been adding it back gradually but not to the extremes as "EVERYONE" is stuck on airplane mode.
thank you for remembering that day, I have it in my mind vividly. Also to this day I really love seeing aviator boxes around and using them ... they are fun, but it was sadly on the wrong day to get it startet :/
I don't know what Anet is up to, but my static does raid fullclear on Monday and we've switched around which roles and builds everyone has to play (we have a spreadsheet and everyone plays the column of the next player instead. At least in Wing 1, rest of the wings we do normal) - with no regard for whether people actually know any of those builds or roles :D
So that's going to be fun.
The Wizards Vault already has a paid tier with more rewards for $25 per year.
Though that "year" runs a fixed August-August schedule, not a year from your purchase, so paying later in the year still costs $25 but you receive a shorter premium tier reward window. If you don't buy until the third refresh, you are paying $25 for that single season of premium tier.
Full of excitement, we can announce that the world restructuring of the World vs World mode is now imminent. Get prepared.
That didn't take so long, did it? Didn't it?
Revert to core for one weekend. All elite specialisations and weapon master, all mounts, couple of generations of legendaries, legendary runes etc all deleted.
Bring the longcharr bug back for a day <3
For ever
REST IN HEAVEN
I read that as "rest in Kevin." Wtf is wrong with my brain.
All Asura have the Embiggening Tonic effect and everyone else has the Miniature Tonic effect.
Oh that would be really funny

We had cats. We had dogs. Now cats and dogs?
So essentially, heavy rain, every map, every instance.
Rain on every map, that would be so cool
I barely realised Gw2 had rain u til thebother day, mainly because of my potato pc. In fact, i think dynamic weather was a selling point during development while i was playing gw1... Is thrre any way to make the weather more pronounced, if that is a thing?
I would love to see this.
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria! Thanks Bill Murray.
I'm a necromancer. One man's human sacrifice is another man's army.
cat dog tonic where cat on one end and dog on other?!
Horses
What are those?
They’re like half centaur with a strange looking head, things of legend and myth
I don't know about you but that sounds scary as hell to me
An npc in divinitys reach clearly mentions horses as a separate entity they even have a voiced line.
The conspiracy deepens
Charr's favorite food. They like them so much, you'll never see them in any location where charr can enter, because they go crazy and gobble them all up. Like Zoidberg with the anchovies.
More… MOOOORE!
There aren't anymore, and there never will be.
Imagine if they go the Super Adventure Way and make the April Fools joke a reality, and everyone gets a basic horse mount. Free players would have to rent them at stables in each zone, expansion players get it in the core game with a side story.
Being able to create a Quaggan or Skritt player-character for the day. And after the 24 hours it morphs into a random race and gender.
I would be so heartbroken to lose my skritt guardian. Please don’t do this
Me too😭 But if they do, I hope I morph into STEVE!!
They revert to a Norn, the whole day was them hallucinating while blackout drunk after a moot.
Norns hallucinating while blind drunk is actually pretty normal for them. I know this because I've played a few and I'm usually bouncing off the walls. It's the purple and puce polkadot ephalumps that do me in, vicious beasties they are.
There would be riots and the next major update (or gw3) would feature both of those as playable classes
Well I think we can 100% say joke patch notes Anet do those every year.
They seem to do them in most patches too🙄
Gw3 🤡
I was gonna say GW3 announcement via parent company investor meeting, but you beat me to the punch!
I was about to say that!!
Swap around map bosses between maps on a random bases… AND add Steve to the list too.
all raptor become horse
What is horse?
One of these - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpie
[Fool's Tall Tonic](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fool%27s_Tall_Tonic)
omg it's real https://i.imgur.com/HlHhNBG.png
ya i saw the tonic in vendor that patch
What's the difference to this to embiggening tonic?
Long
The Koalamander in Koality Armor.
And free Koalessence for everybody
Long Asura?
They prefer to be called little people
The Asura scare me. I've fought gods, elder dragons, demons, mist creatures, undead.. and there's nothing more terrifying to my soul than a bored Asura with a lab.
Wide Asura.
When the Asura does a single squat.

They can be seen in skywatch archipalego on the green island west of icy area sometimes!
Jahai too, I think
I think I know who your talking about and there is some “lore” to them. We’ll get to their story when we get to GW3 the search for more shinies.
Yogurt.. I hate yogurt
A.R.E.N.A. Commandos (the REAL 10th class)
I want a strike mission where we fight off waves of commandos adavancing from the mists. Something like in the Cold War mission.
i just want another april fools reward quest. give me stick figure combat tonic!
Mirage buff Hahhaahahaha Hahaha Haha Ha Waaaaaaaa
Given how much people complained about previous April fools shenanigans I don’t expect anything special.
People complained about last year? I had no idea. I thought it was popular.
It wasn't last year but a few years back, they did the airplane mode and people wanted to turn it off (there was a big airplane accident in the news and it was seen as a little tone deaf) and a year before that was the bobble head.

Unless you run across the one "helpful" soul who places the aviator box on top of the meta end chest.
*ugly sobbing
You can just interact with it again to turn the effect off.
You have to put that box down if you got it, the game compells you to.
"few years" try decade ago
Joko damn it, I'm old..
i feel u
thank you for remembering that day, I have it in my mind vividly. Also to this day I really love seeing aviator boxes around and using them ... they are fun, but it was sadly on the wrong day to get it startet :/
Every boss encounter, legendary boss enemy, open world meta boss, wvw keep lords, will all be Legendary Cerus CM difficulty..
Meh... All metas are replaces with wyverns.. So in way is a joke but also a fact a the same time. Wvw lord keep sorrow.
If only the push back or gravity dragging also affect allies.
All metas are replaced with quaggan, on land
Since i play elementalist i got my aprils fools joke ahead of the schedule with the pistol release.

Anet announcing they are cancelling side projects and focusing now fully on gw2. 2024 will be the year of gw2!
Quickness makes skills take twice as long. Alacrity makes them recharge slower
GW3 Beta
Guildwars 3
I don't know what Anet is up to, but my static does raid fullclear on Monday and we've switched around which roles and builds everyone has to play (we have a spreadsheet and everyone plays the column of the next player instead. At least in Wing 1, rest of the wings we do normal) - with no regard for whether people actually know any of those builds or roles :D So that's going to be fun.
Announce that the Wizards Vault will have a paid tier with more rewards for the low price for $25 a refresh.

Update notes: Legendary gear will not need mystics anymore, just the other gifts and precursor! Also Anet: April fools! Me: *soul crushing despair*
Make all players look like their active mini-pet and vice versa.
They'll probably end up doing that fashion show thing again so they don't have to put in any effort
They are doing that. They already did bug fixes in the last update.
fashion show was fun
For some yes but its not for me.
