As the 29th feb only comes round once every four years lets see gw creators do something special

LIKE

A one off 29th feb only mission with a fountain of youth at the end where death penalty (and xp if it makes it easier) are reset to zero, it would give all the long time players a chance at the ledgendry survivor title on their favorite characters. I know i'm never going to restart after 2364 hours on my monk im a good way through aquiring titles on him and it would be great to get a chance at a title i never even knew existed until it was too late

.
And it would fix the fact that anyone with the defender of ascalon title cannot get the survivor title as well

come on anet pull your finger out and give us a chance PLEASE

Feb.29th = Illusion Day

Everyone's armor is invisible. You'll be naked, but still have the armor on without worry of being killed as if you had it off.

If this was implemented, I wouldn't play on Feb. 29th.

Hm... the day that didn't existed...?

XD...

I know what could be done:
February 28th. Hard backup at 28th 00:00.
February 29th. All rules removed, PK, kill steal, no loot scalling, unlimited attribute points, unlimited customizations in weapons.
March 1st. Hard restore. All changes reverted.

XDD

Would be fun having one wasted day?

Back to you original idea, I don't find bad having that done if it's once every 4 years. It's not like a lot of people would be here in 4 more years or many people waiting another 4 years to get survivor after a second fail.

If you made a new char on the 29th, how would your birthday minipets work out?

It either counts the days or it checks if the current date is above or equal to the character creation date, plus however many years. It's interesting to think about, but they probably have it covered.

If not, everybody make new characters on the 29th and see what happens next year.

That's where I stopped reading (I'm 100% sure "su" = survivor) and realized this was going to be another Survivor QQ thread.

I've begged about 100 times to make LS + LDoA mutually accesable, Anet just doesn't wanna listen.

You really think Anet

-> The people that can't be bothered fixing glitches that people send to them about 4 months before the "major" abuse happens...
-> The people that (near) fully IGNORED their community for the first year...
-> The people that DIDN'T manage to get a SINGLE non-skill update right WITHOUT creating some Dupe/hax glitch...
-> The people that "update" their game about once a year. (Double HB points isn't an update, it's a sad attempt to have more people play HB)
-> The people that can't skill update (Srry Izzy) even AFTER they have about 25 pages of written "guidelines" on GWGuru...

Will update this?

Yeah, I don't think it will happen...

might answer your question
Edit: I see you've already posted there, but it might help someone else with the same question.

I certainly think they should do something, the game might not even be around for the next leap year

How about for the 29th of february they have an "End of the World" event where we all chip in and watch all the worlds get turned into barren wastelands by UFO's, God, and the National Hockey League, then fight new enemies on their for an entire day. :P

What the hell does the NHL have to do with this?

This thread = the masking of a survivor QQ thread

However, it would be fun to have a one-off event to commemorate the day.

Call me crazy, but I don't believe a Feb. 30th exists.

I may have IQ150, but I'm so scatterbrained that many times I don't say what I pretend to, XD

I meant March 1st. I'll edit my post if I can already.

And then they could back that up so that April 1st they can bring it back.

I think it just counts 365 days.
