This needs to be on a voluntary basis, like eating or drinking something. I didn't buy this game so that if "I" hacked I coould be banned, yet "THEY" can hack the visual code and it's OK.

I am not happy about this and do not appreciate it. It's childish and is interfering with my game playing experience. My money invested.

They need to fix this now!
you realise that Anet own GW, not you, and They can change it how they want to, Its not a right to play, its a privilage

and it's only for 24hours. If you can't be without GW's for 24hours you have bigger problems than being a stick-man

I'm fairly certain you can't hack your own property. If I was to make my own skill balances then that would be wrong but A-Net have every right.

I've come to expect a bit of lighthearted fun on April Fool's day and were A-Net to not do this they would not meet MY expectation of service. The difference is I would be ok with that because I understand that, at the end of the day, A-Net owns Guild Wars. Not me.

Privilege my ass. I paid for the game, I gave them my hard earned money and I expect and demand an expected level of service. If they wanna play childish hack games like 5 year olds, let them do it on those willing. I exopect what was offered. I paid for that RIGHT. Their little fiasco of a deviation interferes not only with my schedule to play but my sheer enjoyment of the game. Quite simply, they should not have nor will they again in the future go against paying customers, especially if they ebver want more of their money.

It's real damned simple. Ya wanna be a childish fool and make stuickmen, allow everyone the option to not participate. Be fair abut it at least. Do it all ya want, just don't involve me. I ain't interested and I don't have the time for the bull.

They can make it into a candy bar, a drink, or any other foolish piddly item for those that want to use. As far as for those of us who do not, we have every right to speak up about our dislikes just as well as you do about your likes. Face it, they screwed up and pissed a lot of paying customers off.


Maybe next time they will listen to people like me, that give them money.

We don't ask for much, just fair equal treatment. Like, the ability to opt-out, or not participate in a 5 year olds drawing contest.

While yes, it is annoying being a stick figure everywhere, it is a joke and you need to calm down.

Saying A-Net hacked the Visual code is the funniest thing I've heard someone say on this forum, they change it as they please, it is no hack.

Go outside and do something for the day, it's one day.. and you are acting like its the end of the world. Or you can just grow a sense of humor instead of calling everything ''Childish''.

''Maybe next time they will listen to people like me, that give them money" What? We all gave them money, payed for the game just as you did.

If you are serious then this is sad, if not, then you're an April Fool's troll.

ROFLMAO!

I'm having so much fun today reading posts like this.

BTW: Read the EULA. ANET can change what they want to change.

Great lolz .... keep 'em coming.

You do realise not only are you full of it, but, that people like me that give them money are the only reason there is an ANET. Without people willing to give them money they have nothing and are nothing. Remember that. Money talks, bs walks.

As a consumer I provide the means for them to operate, and I have a say in what does or does not happen. It's my dollar they want and its their privilege for me to give it to them.


All I ask was for fairness. Not all of us are 12 years that like to draw stick figures.

And, you are so right when it comes to 1. disrupting the game like they have and 2. whne considering whether or not to invest another $200 or more into another version and its expacs.

I am more than highly agitated at the moment. I don't mess with peoples money and expect the same from them, ESPECIALLY involving some one that i give my money to in exchange for expected service!!!



It's called: expectation of service

I didn't pay to have my time interrupted in such a fashion or to have my normally enjoyable time ruined by a childish, inappropriate, and rule-breaking fashion!!

Had one of us "hacked" the game and made something like this happen, we woulda been perma-banned. Yet, they wish to intrude upon an otherwise enjoyable [albeit paid for] experience by they themselves hacking the visual code....all for their personal enjoyment at our expense.

I'd say that in itself is more than enough reason to "whine".


Had it of been for 2 minutes or some such, I probably would have dismissed it. However, having a life and a job, I am limited in the time to enjoy the game. So to interfere with that is uncalled for.

what is the deal with all of the whining and btw you guys that are whining did agree to have anet do what they want with there game when you accepted the eula for the game.

so please stop with the whining and enjoy the stick figures for the 24 hours of april fools day

Care to elaborate how being a stick figure so drastically changes the game to the point you can no longer play? There is certainly nothing stoppping you from continuing to go out, kill monsters and still play the game like normal. You can do all your ally/party targeting using the party menu so there is no problem there.

PvP might be a little bit more affected but you can still identify enemies by their bar when you target them.

The only thing I can see is that you no longer get to check out your character's leet armor.

Just lighten up for a bit, its one day of fun, its not the end of the world. This kind of event shows a commitment from anet to be involved with the community and change things up. If anet didn't do anything it would just show they're no longer involved with guild wars and feel they don't need to do anything special for the community's enjoyment.
