lol shroud of silence

I totally wouldn't mind the Rit buff, except that most of them run out after so many trigger conditions anyways, so still not buffed enough.
Shroud of Silence should come with it's own message spam: "STFU, noob!" That would be epic. XD

Hahaha i believed that up until sandstorm, great job 
"Introduced a new Cartographer title for the Battle Isles.
PvP players need more to do besides killing each other, so now they can explore and show off their accomplishment with this brand new title."
15 second title ftw.
oh yeh, you've missed abit, or unless i cannot see it in your quote. but anyway "Animate Flesh Golem - Removed Single Golem Limit" !!!!OMGWTFLOLZ0R that would be amazing, 10 x lvl 26 fleshies running around.

Scorpion Wire: no longer has half-range. Changed functionality to: "Target foe is teleported to your location and knocked down." Shroud of Silence: changed functionality to: "For 5..20 seconds, target player cannot send chat messages." Shadow Stepping has triggered complaints about how an Assassin can move instantly to a target, keep the target knocked down, and kill it before anybody has a chance to react. To address this concern without decreasing the Assassin's overall effectiveness, we're instead experimenting with allowing Assassins to teleport their foes directly to them. |

Shroud of Silence gave us an opportunity to give players the ability to disable opposing tactics callers. Since everyone uses text to call targets, this should prove a deadly change in large battles. |

Quote:
Mesmer * No changes. |

Quote:
Monk * Ray of Judgment: Removed Burning condition, increased damage to 10..90. |

Quote:
Necromancer * Animate Flesh Golem: removed the single-golem limit. |
Quote:
On a direct hit, the Zaishen rank emote now deals minor damage based on the user's rank and knocks the target down. |

Lmao I totally fell for that, I came here to see what's happening! LOL.
Rebelor
really nice one, got my laugh in after being disappointed with the gwen thing
Nessar
Totally awesome skill update. The searing flames & RoJ made me lol most xD.
Garreth MacLeod
They got me at first. Was waiting to hear the uproar in-game. Until I got to the contect sensitive ones. Very funny stuff Anet.
Gwmaster
i was getting all excited :P
Demon Slaya Of God
lmao... i love anet
Pony Slaystation
I'm suprised that they didn't say "All clipping issues with armor/weapon combinations have been fixed", just to bother the people that complain all of the time that their 200k shield doesn't look good with their 1000k armor XD
FengShuiDove
Guess they're nerfing what they buffed. Another update... what could it be this time?
Darcy
ArenaNet has a great sense of humor, much better than that of most players.
Apollo Smile
Love how they made "The Power is Yours" even more of a Captain Planet reference. I'm loving the update. Just imagining how much it would make people rage..

Dark-NighT
byteme!
Shroud of Silence would be awesome if it were true. I would echo spam that skill everywhere I go. If I don't like you I'll perma-shutyouup.
Clone
Honestly, knowing Anet's past actions, any of them could have just as easily been real.
Momir
I was all "Omg, really anet? really?" then got to the Sandstorm 'nerf' and was "Wait...April fools...you sly dogs"
shoyon456
I have to say that some of the April Fool's skill function changes were almost revolutionary in they way they would interact with your camera (dazed) albeit obviously way over the top.
Cale Roughstar
Cute 
I lol'ed at a bunch of the justifications.

Voodoo Rage
"Although we were satisfied with the current effects of Lucky Aura, it unfortunately provided more of a benefit than expected to certain types of builds (especially farming)."
That's my favorite. You gotta love GW "urban legends" when it comes to farming and drop rates. The GW community tends to not be the most skeptical or scientifically minded in that regard... lol.

stargazrso
I fell out of my frelling chair for real laughing at this. I was like, "No WAY!. Too much fun here. HUN! HEY wake UP. You gotta read this." In the end, we both were laughing so hard that tears were falling. Oo Just one day, sigh, would have been too fun.
Zapper901
Wow... it's been a while since I've played, but I wanted to see the April Fools joke, and I must say I laughed quite a bit.
Perhaps I should start playing again.

Then i realized it was a joke and thought 'wonderful'
I almost fell for it. Almost. lol
Lourens
They didnt make punishing shot instant KO if it crits

Fril Estelin
For a few minutes, I could picture in my mind a brand new, fresh and exciting GW1. I was already looking at the shores of NF, see myself teleported by sins in AB where I wouldn't use SF anymore, and people mapping mad in RA
.
Good laugh, GG

sph0nz
Haha wow. Great update.

I'd love to see Daze implemented.

Quote:
Characters suffering from Blind cannot see distant enemies. Characters suffering from Dazed will now spin in place. The camera is locked for the duration of the effect. These exciting new additions will improve both the PvP and PvE experience by improving the interface display of your characters state. It is now much more obvious when your character is blinded or dazed, something that benefits front line and support classes in PvP. This also provides a more realistic environment for PvE players to roleplay in. With enemies you can't see and your display spinning around, you'll get a better sense of what it's like to be a Guild Wars hero! |

I was gonna cry at the Ranger's pet thing. But then it reminded me of Pokemon and something smelled fishy to me.
Missmelady
I laughed so hard at the Overpowered builds that would come out. Build 1. 7 invoke lightning eles 1 paragon(you get where im going with this) that could be 7 lvl 21 invoke lightnings prolly dealing about 170 dmg each. Second build 8 warriors 8 bull strikes + zrank spam. 3rd R/a Trappers. Trap then have the enemy teleport to you. had they made these changes for one day it would have been epic. That and running 8 rits with signet of ghostly might would have brought back the best 15 minutes of HA EVER!
exploiter
omg wtf you did Anet !!!!!!!!!1!@!! GG
(laughed at the SF and Gladiator's Defense)

Ahahah Scropion wire should be added ingame with a little cloud over your char using it, saying : "Come over here "
Marth Reynolds
I read em on a wiki, and tought hmm that can't be right :O
they had me for a bit ofc :P

XxSanctusxX
Read some of em and thought: Ah, pretty ok update this time, but then:This skill can be activated while dead, cant send chat messages and the zrank thing..
Kinda liked the beast mastery thing (didn't see it was april fools then) and thought, that would be a pretty good nerf for iway..

I gotta admit, the sarcasm is thick in the update. They coulda added something about old school paragons too though.
Valcion
it'd be funny if the change really happened, even if it's just for one day. Of course things like SoS and some of the Para shouts wouldn't be viable, but at least it'd break the monotony of things around here.
