updated wiki as of 2:00am cst

[edit] Guild Wars Wiki notes
This update is presumed to have implemented the splitting off of Taiwanese Guild Wars servers, as mentioned in the March 31st, 2008 dev update.
This update caused characters to turn into Stick Figures, which take on Ranger emotes.
NPCs, Heroes and Games Creatures are not affected by the stick figure implementation for April Fools Day.


to be noted

For those who haven't noticed, because of the stickman update, you can not make armor for pvp only characters unless they are a ranger
note that if you use a templete foryour armor you can load it or use a hero to make a templete


updated apirl 1st 2:30 pm
Update - Monday March 31

Taiwan service update
Made modifications to certain game features for Taiwan/Macau/Hong Kong accounts in response to recent changes to Taiwanese law.

Miscellaneous
Domain of Anguish has been changed to allow the final boss in each realm to spawn without players keeping the quest Mallyx the Unyielding in their quest logs.


*toons are unaffected by the Divine Aura, whi ein stick figure form

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug with the Destroyer skill Inner Fire that caused its user to not receive any healing from the skill.
Fixed a bug that caused the Monk skills Spotless Mind and Spotless Soul to removes hexes/conditions after the enchantment had been removed.
Fixed a bug that prevented healing bonuses/penalties (such as Healer's Covenant) from affecting Patient Spirit.
Health degeneration from Chalice of Corruption will no longer affect players during Polymock matches.

I'm guessing it'll be another gender change, but no one really knows and it could be anything...

Patient Spirit update is real. Healer's Covenant is dead.

On the other hand, Healer's Boon has a new toy to play with!

Only 10 pips of regen actually affect the target. The rest remain 'hidden' until degen is applied, in which case they help counter it.

Ex skill gives 15 regen.

Target will have 10 regen and 5 hidden.

Suffers from something that adds 8 degen.

15-8=7 so they'll still end up with 7 regen.

Oh god...
I love lazy people and people who talk about stuff they don't know about.

If you only clicked the link, cause you obviously don't know what inner fire does, you would know it gives 30hp a sec which is equivalent to 15 pips.

Hey, who cares, amirite? Inner Fire, last I checked, didn't really do anything at all when Destroyers used it, so the point is moot.

Anyways, maybe the high health gain, if the skill works now, will teach the PvE scrubs how to deal decent damage, or to spike.

The stick figures caught me off guard. April 1st, haha. I changed our guild announcement for the guys in the morning.

"Attention: Two nights ago the ANet servers were infected. Unless you appear as a stick figure, no need to worry."

So much for finding a reliable farming spot on my Warrior. Le sigh. Glints challenge is no more for me if this is true. And why do I get this crazy suspicion that Anet wants us to buy gold??
