April Fools!

I don't see a lot of people discussing possible ideas for what might happen in GW on the 1st of April next Thursday.

Are a lot of people not interested, or did I just wake some people up in the knowledge April Fools Day comes in less than a week?

For refreshing memories:

2007: Gender Confusion: Males became Females and vice-versa.
2008: Stick Man Army: All characters became black-lined stick figures.
2009: Gwen-Chan-o-Rama: All characters became the Gwen-Chan Doll and a false update was made with all sorts of bizarre changes.

So what do you think might happen this year?

I actually think it would be kind of trippy if they just suck the color out of GW. Imagine logging on and everything is in black and white.

I'm a fan of black and white movies, so I guess it'd be more of a kicker for me, but I'm sure it'd freak a couple people out.

Or maybe being turned into random enemies of your profession while in town? I wouldn't mind being a wind rider for a while.

I'm very curious as to what they'll whip out for April Fools. Looking forward to it.

Edit:

Maybe make the player characters black and white on a colored game, or vice versa? Might be interesting to see colored enemies/players on a completely desaturated landscape.

GW2 release. I predict that one will repeat for the next 3 years. After which it'll be replaced by the GW Greybeard, where all toons turn into doddering old pensioners, tottering about and nattering on about "The good old days" and complaining about poor support and broken GW2 promises... :P

Oo I kinda forgot about April Fools, ty for the reminder! I have no idea what the special design will involve.

I like your idea about the black and white Hyperventilate, that would be cool

Players will log in to find their PvE mesmers, dervish, and paragons missing.

Players will not have an option to make PvE characters of such professions.

Would lack the "shock" factor, because honestly, who would really be surprised?

Heh, not a bad idea. Either that or just push "Invert Colors" on the entire game for a day. Oh man, seizure reports left and right...

Guilds are irrelevant. This... is...... BUILD WARS!!!

Well... they usually include a fake skill update, as you all know. I think it would be pretty funny if they made the changes absolutely outrageous, and actually implemented the new changes, just for a day.

The description to Shadow Form will read as it did before the recent nerf.....

Making all sin users wet themselves... then turn emo when they find out the skill operates in its current form.

That's completely backwards. All Warriors and Assassins will be transformed into Dervishes, all Eles & Necros will be made into Mesmers, and all Rits, Monks and Rangers will be transformed into Paragons!

Fake update where SF is unnerfed, Spirit Bond and Spell Breaker are reverted to their old functionality, Soul Reaping is reverted, and loot scaling is erased. Oh yeah and pets once again make corpses.

Hmm... More speculation, complaining, and reminiscing. Oh, wait... That's already happening...

Hmm... How about... nothing? I mean, we're all expecting something, right? The best trick to do is absolutely nothing, forcing us to wait in terror for whatever it is that's coming. When April 2 comes around, we'll realize that nothing happened, and we'll come to the forums to complain!

Oh, wait... We already do that...

Hmm...

I don't know. ^_^;

Make it so you get 8 random skills from your profession / secondary when you enter a PvP match. So you'll spend the 30 minutes forming then bam everything ruined.

they make every character have these emotes for a day;

/kill - kills your target
/kill mob - kills the mob in your agro bubble
/kill + ecto - your kill drops an ecto
/kill mob + ecto - the mob in your bubble drops ecto
/zkey - you get a zkey
/armbrace - you get an armbrace
/PWN - used to PWN ppl in towns xD
/sell ecto - sells for the original price, original prices being when ecto was first known to the trader

I vote this

This would be fun, I'd run OwEB4coVtqVtqVtqVtC for PvE and OwIB4c84H/4H/4H/4HD for PvP.

Maybe OwIB4cISRKSRKSRKSRC if I want to be serious.
