If someone has a problem with Golem, you can look how I beat him. :P

Totally and utterly awesome! Thank you ANet. Been emailing all the inactives I know.

Now, get us some assault rifle ammo and add this as a new class. Like the WoW Death Knight class sortof. The GW Death Commando! Only no special starting area. To qualify you must have finished Prophecies and EoTN campaigns.

Really this has a lot of potential. GW 1 Time Wars would also sell well. Selling 3 games is better than selling just one!

This is AWESOME! Squee!

And LOL @ all the misery-guts-sky-is-falling* crowd using this as yet another excuse to whine, and tell us all that this is proof that GW2 will suck.

*Skynet is falling!

Put me down as one of the ladies that found the quest and everything related to it very amusing!

I can't understand how anyone could consider this a waste of time. The whole point of today was to do something silly and/or trick people. Judging by the amount of stupid questions in almost every district, they didn't fail. Some people wanted a taste of GW2 in their GW and they got it.

Lighten up! I doubt they forgot about WoC!

Wyndy · Apr 01, 2011, 06:54 PM // 18:54

This is great fun, thanks Anet.

Forgetting is one thing. Using resources that otherwise could have been used on the WoC is another.

I found it amusing and clever, then I watched it turn into just another exploitable farmfest and now find it rather pathetic, but that is more of a player base issue I guess. Sad to see this just become Snowball Dominance v2.

This has to be the greatest April fools day to date. I absolutely love and have been laughing to tears reading the update notes.

lame...
if only in game thing is really the commando crap than this is the lamest april fools ever...

Swingline · Apr 01, 2011, 07:14 PM // 19:14

The mission is pretty fun but some of the spikes by the mobs are quite brutal if you don't watch out. I ran into two groups fighting with near full health, they all switched to me right away, got crippled and health hit 0 in 2 seconds. Haven't gotten a green yet but loads of golds.

EDIT: It would have been better and more fun if you could actually use the gun. Don't have to animate the bullets, just make the sound for the gun.

Any chance we can get a confirm on that Riot Shield?

eek forgot to say how much this AFD kicks ass!
Mucho Commando Love!

Bad Company Sin · Apr 01, 2011, 07:44 PM // 19:44

*Wonders if those Riot shields are real*

Aba · Apr 01, 2011, 07:50 PM // 19:50

I don't think they are.

I did the "Terminator" (very good lol) mission. That's the only mission? because I don't want to miss something.

Aeronwen · Apr 01, 2011, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Todays April Fools was very rich in content and I was amused. Good job all round.

I do wish that we didn't keep having new solo missions but more group stuff - I enjoy playing with my friends.

Anet get a cookie from me too

Oh and ty for the help everyone - yeah I found reading the skill descriptions and running away and letting Bane do all the work solved it nicely

Kudos, ANet! This was a fun, quick little something for everyone's amusement. Even the update notes were kewl. I particularly liked:

Avatar of Kormir: "Elite Form. Your are permanently Blinded. Any time one of your allies finishes a quest, you get credit for completing it instead. Whenever a Dervish enchantment ends on you, you steal all enchantments, shouts, and weapon spells from all party members."
But, it was missing something. It should also have had, " While in this elite form, you body-block your party and stand around doing nothing."

If you ever actually DO create an Avatar of Kormir, I suggest you make them equip a spear, and have the animation using the spear as a blind man's cane!
