Go to PvX. They got a build listed in the Meta PvE section.

Stumme and his extremely small dev team have been hard at work and have consistently delivered everything Stumme has announced. They deserve to have a little fun.

Be grateful that they've made April Fool's content that is actually playable, and not just a visual joke limited to outposts.

In any case, this and the GW2 prof are some really amazing updates. Thanks to Anet for these.

i cant remember this far back but werent we supposed to get it first? and before the birthday thing? im pretty sure they said something like this and seen anything. yeah i can get they did a lot with the 7heros and stuff. but for us who has been waiting forever for NEW stuff;7 heros isnt new its just more heros, they couldve done this as a visual thing and still be cool. then spent that time on winds of change or anything else. just saying.

As for whether or not it's funny...humor is a subjective thing, but I think anyone can see that it certainly struck something for the majority of people here. Target audience, y'know.

^ so far in my allaince all the people who liked this..were most of the males. rest of the males and us ladies rather see something else. and to be honest a comic is funny..terminator references isnt. xD

As was previously said, humor is clearly subjective. I appreciate and love what they did. Unlike previous years, I hope elements (such as a costume or mini-pet) can actually persist.

yeah if this just be visual now that would be funny. O.O omg i can picture those itty bitty female monks people like to make in a commando suit. *rolls around laughing* or taking that one female person in the video as a "derv" outfit would funny too. xD or give us random quote like..Thats one big chicken when we see glint or the end destroyer.

Im so glad Im not the only one that don't like this... although I can tell we are very few :/

IMO it is the worst aprils fool anet ever made...

Tomm · Apr 01, 2011, 04:51 PM // 16:51

I enjoyed the April Fools content too, but I dont think its over reacting. The Dervish update is one thing, its seperate. The embark beach update was nice, but it didnt have any content value like new NPCs, Skins, etc. And its pretty obvious this was a colaborative effort between the GW2 crew and the skeleton crew that's left on GW1.

I just wish they would have released at least the first part of C:WoC before they showed this to us. At least then I wouldnt have been as skeptical. Now I'm starting to wonder, how seriously are they taking GW1 after we gave them all that costume and merc hero money?

Now if youll excuse me I have to restore order to the timestream.

EDIT: That post does sound kind of harsh. I do thank ANet for ANY free content we get. It's obvious they put some time and hard work into it. I really enjoyed the terminator references and how they linked it to GW lore. And the skill videos for the commando are awesome and hilarious at the same time. This update really made my day. I look foward to even more content updates.

GuildWarsGuru, the only place people can complain about free content.

Best april's fools update ever!

Why? · Apr 01, 2011, 05:00 PM // 17:00

that was entertaining, although i doubt they will keep it as it would make the vanguard title rather easy to get.

Not all feedback will be positive. AND the people who are not happy have just as much a right to say so as those who are.

As I mentioned previously: you cant please all the people all the time. And this just didnt please some of us, so sorry we are not in the majority.

(and you have never read some other forums either---many of them allow negative feedback as well so its not just guru).

code · Apr 01, 2011, 05:04 PM // 17:04

What cracked me up the most is the A.R.E.N.A. tag every Commando is wearing, so freaking genious! ;D

Oh and Andrew Patrick is watching this thread!

BTW, the guy being in Embark Beach isn't a prank.
He's really there now. (there was a patch)

He's got a quest.

makosi · Apr 01, 2011, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Great stuff all round.

What does your feedback provide though? Content for the weekend, nothing lasting.

If you don't appreciate it, state so, that's fine. But not much feedback can be taken on something that doesn't apply to the core of the game.

Don Zardeone · Apr 01, 2011, 05:07 PM // 17:07

SPOILARS EVERYWHERE

It's great in that it gives 1984 free vanguard points for virtually no effort (after failing 3 times).

Win by staying out of adjacent range unless you can block or KD.
The map before the boss you can bypass all fights.

It is indeed not much but it also isn't over the top. As someone has said before that they'd rather see development on winds of change or whatever and not on a 1-day event.

Would have been nice to have a squad of 8 dudes though.

Chill, dude, it's not meant to be a content patch.

Yet the update did include content, could that be the cause of your confusion?

Anyway <3 to ArenaNet for being totally awesome as always!!

Rocky Raccoon · Apr 01, 2011, 05:08 PM // 17:08

It's bonus content, like it or not, I can appreciate ANET providing it to us. Thanks.
