Free stuff from the traders, killing NPCs in the town, crystalline/ ghostly swords dropping very frequently, minis dropping everywhere,

sounds to me like another "get rich quick" idea wrapped up in "hey guys this will be fun" thread.

Rubber banding can make a character appear to pass zone markers without re-zoning.

And no to the Chaos thing! Need I explain why?

The term rubberbanding can be applied to setting a recovery point on a server and then reverting to that point. The term in general refers to an action being registered but then for some reason, depending on the situation, the action is discarded and an older version of the situation is applied. Sorry for the confusion that I created by using that term, I was just trying to have some synergy with the OP's terminology ^_^

It's ok. I know the term you mean it as. I was just putting it down to confuse people who didn't know what rubberbanding in your words mean.

Getting rich...for one day...gg you finished reading my post

Geez, everyone who think its a "bad" idea never finished reading my post. Im only suggesting that people who were poor at the beginning know what it feels like to have all the cool stuff. Then im suggesting the entire thing be reverted through a rollback.

People like Meat Axe and Heavenly Messenger are the ONLY people who are putting out good points of why it is bad, instead of being immature and namecalling saying its a terrabad idea. If you want to say the idea isn't great then post something that might put a good argument to my thinking, thats all im requesting.

I did not realize people might want to finish working on their HoM the last day, mainly because i figured not many people would want to procrastinate THAT much. Comon, those who want it should get it done gradually, (may i remind you of the BMP *cough* *cough*.

the "anything goes" thing is a bit too much. killing NPCs would be fun though. DIE KORMIR!!!!!!!

The Way Out · Mar 04, 2008, 10:56 PM // 22:56

I would love to see ecto drop from the sky, they way festival presents used to. Then they turn to mini dragons and slay everyone....

Hopefully, they should implement something along those lines. A server rollback would be too difficult and would have a heavy impact on their fanbase.

That woman is now a god... I say off with her head for a day!

Orange Milk · Mar 05, 2008, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Ok, you wanna know what it feels like to be rich for a day? That's what this idea is about huh? LMAO

So someone logs on, no idea that today is "Chaos Day" and gets a Crystalline Sword drop, now he's happier than a fag with a bag full of dicks, logs off, logs in the next day to see its gone.

How much fun will that be for ANet to clear up? And you know it will be WAYYYYYY more than 1 person who will have this issue. And before you say "But it will be on here and the log in screen that its "Stupid Day" EVERYONE will know" you would be wrong, only a small minority of players use this site, ALOT of people pay no attention to the log in screen or auto log.

Sounds to me like a very dumb way to waste ALOT of ANEt Dev time.

What's the point? The day before GW2 is launched there will be no-one left to see this "chaos day". Also, if Anet can't care about GW1 now, what do you think it will be like the day before they release the sequel?

Silly idea, it won't happen.

Snograt · Mar 05, 2008, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Lol - the rollback potion of the OP seems to have gone over a lot of people's heads

I say lock every town for a while and turn on PK. Last man standing, anyone?

Young(not so young) beautiful(ugh) blind(she's a god now) helpless( she's leader of the sunspears) yes, I would want to kill her. she stole abbadon's powers from me!

i killed him so i should be the god of secrets and MY statue should be in chantry of secrets!

CyberMesh0 · Mar 06, 2008, 03:56 AM // 03:56

It would be fun, but! Anyone decidedly unaware of such an event would go nuclear if they got x drop during the rollback period then lost it.

warcrap · Mar 06, 2008, 11:01 PM // 23:01

when gw2 comes out i think the prophecies box will make a good door stop or maybe to even a chair leg =)

yay!

for the Op /signed I think it would be fun. Some people seemed to have missed the fact that it would "rubberband". Maybe you should say

its all for fun and at the end of the weekend it would go back to the way it was before you started

though the big words like its and go would confuse some of em.

also snograt I like the avatar.
