Perhaps there are only a very few of us who don't see the wit in having to put up with this all day long.
Nevertheless, I hope that Arenanet takes a few minutes to look at their server stats for today when they consider whether to implement something similar in the future. (And I don't just mean how many people logged on, but how many played and for how long.)
For my poor part, if I decide I have to play something today, I'll probably unwrap "Bioshock" which has been sitting unopened on my desk since Christmas. A curious achievement, Arenanet, don't you think?

Well, honestly it was very amusing.
Today is the day to take guild pictures, everyone!
On another note, this is having hilarious effects in Alliance Battles. A frustrating effect, but a hilarious one nonetheless.
Only complaint is that you can't make new pvp gear. Wonder how that little oversight happened?

Personally hate this years April Fools event, last years was 1000 times better, will only play on my low lvl chars till this is over if I play at all. And next time Anet, use fem chars as well. As for being april fools, guess we were the fools hoping for something better then last years sex change. So much for hoping for improvements with this failure

Wow, so much QQ over quite a funny change. PVP I can see where there may be some issue with the armor and being unable to tell whom is who, BUT, that said anyone that pve's should have no reason to bring out he wahmbulance for such a funny thing. I only wish they could have turned them into ninjas like the one online page where you do fighting with stick figures

IMO they went too far with this joke.. OK, it's perhaps fun for, like, 10 minutes or so, I appreciate the "spirit" of the prank, but frankly I'd also like to have the option to play as usual (i.e. seeing the real "look" of my character).
They could've limited the effect to, say, the first 5 minutes after logging in, or perhaps the whole day but only while in a few major outposts.. and maybe for the first 30 seconds after your party enters an explorable area. But after that, come on, let's admit it -- looking at these vapid stick figures in this otherwise beautifully rendered game gets rather annoying after several minutes..

AB wasn't too bad... i mean if the char is using ele skills, they're a ele. if they are using sin skills, they're a sin. and if they're using monk skills, they're dead :P
Leonhart
A funny and simple idea, only the really serious people are getting agitated by this.
As some one mentioned here is link to solve the problems for those that find it wrong that Anet have done something on Aprils Fool
NO BLOODY RICKROLLING THANK YOU VERY MUCH ~ Earth

What were they thinking
Sir Pandra Pierva
my only qq is that you got the stupid male ranger dance.
I wanted to see the stickmen doing all the dances.
also this is going to have to be an item or i will make an in game lynch mob to hunt down anet and stick it to em.
its too easy to make stick jokes with this.
anyone wanna para spike in HA today?
thats a real sticky situation

I think the sticks are great---kinda miss the last april fools joke, but it would have been old (but thats what we expect ---).
well me and my sticks need to get some twine and glue so we can have a super party later!

Accepting substandard failures like this means we don't have much to look forward to if it continues like this. Anet needs to get back to what makes GW a great game, better Graphics, and not this pathetic last minute try at a new thing. So far in game at least 75% of people i have talked to hate this, and the rest are getting tired of it after only a short time. at least 20 people said they going to play another game for today or are going to watch a movie, that anything else is better then this travesty.

Jeez what's with all the negative comments on the stickman update?
It only lasts for 1 day and it doesn't affect your gameplay in any way... And it's an April fools-joke, what did you expect, that you would be transformed into a dinosaur with a laser cannon or something?
(Would be really cool, though :P)
I like the stickman, all I need is to imagine an EFG-mask on it and I even have an excuse for failing in my party so hard xD

Alright, that april fools skill balance went over the line...
Is it true or should I just not bother poking my eyes into Observe?
EDIT: I'm too gullable.

Does someone need a hug? No call to be so defensive seriously.
ladyflamehaze
LOL not defensive, I just didin't know that saying. but I do like hugs
Mr. Undisclosed
lol at the people who are saying it should be on a voluntary basis. Thats like going up to someone and asking "Hey, do you want to get pranked?"
oh noes I cant go without mah guildwarz for a day!!1!
Suck it up people and get out of the house.

theres seriously people bitching about being a stick figure for a day, and debating not buying gw2 due to it?
...get laid and take the game less seriously. or you know, quit playing the game if it bothers you that much. do you think they care about losing 1% of their customers?
