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.

Its a game. Games are ment for fun. Lighten up. Have a laugh in a "stick conga" round LA and enjoy a novelty day before a return to the normal grind. You may not be able to strut your FoW at poor people but at least your still dyed the most expencive colour

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

I'm really upset...that we can't dye them.

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.

I'm not very thrilled with this event, half my freinds don't want to play because it looks so lame, last years was way better everyone got on all there chars to check them out, this year is a failure compared to it. Why is there only male stick figures, honestly it is a bit sexist not to have any female stick figures at least. Anet should t least be able to represent the female gender even if it is a pathetic graphic like a stick figure. My personal opinoin is this was done last minute and without much thought. makes me think the budgets are being slashed , and it would have been easier to just reuse last years code which everyone enjoyed. For Future reference represent the female gender. Come on Equal rights, even for pixelated chars :P.

Dude, I own all 3 games AND the expension. I've bought character slots and the GotY edition to unlock the 3 special missions. (which I'm still pissed off about that they opened it up for people to buy.)
I LIKE and APPROVE of what they've done for April fools day. So I guess that means my money cancels out your's, eh? You want it, I don't. We've both paid for the game. Now grow a sense of humor and stop QQ'ing? ;D
quickmonty
To those who are using the argument that you are paying customers:
We, who are enjoying the joke, are also paying cusotmers.
I, as a paying customer say: Good Job ANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

lol, I love the idea. At least they arent resorting to recycling the sex change day (although I wouldnt mind it as I missed it last year).
To the players complaining about YOU paying for YOUR game for YOUR serious time after YOU painstakingly bought the game from YOUR neighbourhood store or YOUR internet connection.... take a deep breath and exhale once April fools is over, its a game, and this is a harlmess practical joke which will be reverted to normal in less than 24 hours.
If you dont have the humor to play a game full of hidden double meanings and jokes.... go do something more amusing like YOUR tax returns (which YOU also paid for btw )
I am so tempted to post a picture of a feindishly fury feline with fuzzball facts... but I think it would get deleted then

Read the whole thread again....I believe it is mentioned numerous times at how fairness may be achieved by allowing it to only affect the willing.
I never suggested I was their only customer, I was merely making a factual statement that many of the younger generation have seen fit to complacently allow themselves to be used and walked on by many companies.
I am sure those who think the idea is a shitpot and those that loved the stickmen, if they have reasonable intelligence that is, would agree that a fair option is to make it voluntary. Like maybe how many things are in the game...food, drink, useage of certain items, etc.....
Not all of us are limited in scope of view or intelligence to find a simple first graders picture that appealing especially when being forced to look at it all day long while trying to enjoy something you paid good money for.
End of story. And to those that just don't get it, there's extra dogfood in the closet.

I think some people in this thread really need to take some timeout if being turned to a stick figure in a game for one day can cause them to throw a hissy fit. Maybe this update will do you some good in the long run?
Personally I think its great. Good job ANet! Made me, and all the other ppl currently doing /flute in LA European District 2 laugh.

Again [here's obviously one that just doesn't get it but sure can hop on a bandwagon fast enough].....I have just as much right to complain as you do to praise what they have done. Just because I don't agree doesn't make it a whine....did I accuse you of being a low-life ass-kisser? Just because you wantto publicly announce you "love" what they did?
See my point [I doubt the "you" will]. I should not have to not play because of what they did....again...it should have been made voluntary to be fair to all.
