Make up some weird story about a temporal rift giving you direct access to Dhuum and Mallyx. When you try it out they are really there, but they are lvl1, 1hp and no skills and doesnt drop anything at all

Fake ecto named Glob of Ectospasm dropping freely in town. But when you try selling it you realise its stuck to you like z coins, cant be traded or sold to any npc. All you can do with it is viewing it or bin it.

But I really hope for some ridiculous fake skills update, I had a good laugh last year

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.

this...i like the idea. especially the players black and white on a colored game.

It would be so easy to yank everybody's chain. Just announce on April 1 some crazy changes to the game, but they will be implemented on April 2.

* Players will be able to bring seven heroes in PvE areas only.
* Character slots and Xunlai storage tabs will now cost $5 in online store.
* Kurzick and Luxon Faction rewards are now permanently doubled in Alliance Battles and vanquishing.
* Codex Arena is to be removed and it will be renamed Casual Chat/Roleplay District. Party Time enchantment will be permanently enabled in the area.
* Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, and Party Animal are now account-based titles.
* Announcing a new Fifth Year Anniversary bonus item: The Box of Shut Up--Instantly stops all firework displays in towns or guild halls.

Revert the game to GW Build 1.0 or whatever the build was on Proph release. I'm talking refund points and sh**.
For Factions the build for fac release and for Nightfall that build.

Or mix them. Fun times

i love this idea. or like the gwen chan theme we log in and every lvl 20 char is turned into a animal of some type in towns. example wars-wolves,derv-crocs. and a small part of me wishes they would repeat the sex change one but add in if you log onto a war you turn into another class too along with the sex change.

They should announce that GW2 will be P2P

Or switch the look of our characters around, Necros look like Warriors etc. All chat in LA & Kamadan would probably overload if that happened with all the wtf's?

i think its funny that people are asking for their to be a fake skill update. we all know it is going to be fake..the "scare" factor is gone by now. they need to actually implement something that is totally outrageous for people to have fun with, like an elite skill that turns you into abbadon or something..

Make the blind condition turn your whole entire screen white while blinded so that B.Surgers can keep you out of the game indefinitely.

Make daze distort the display output on your screen, similar to that of the level five drunkard effect, and make all your inputs randomize (i.e.: push left, go right, push attack, tabs around instead, etc. ).

Make bleeding condition cause your screen to display blood stains all over the screen.

Change the character design of all the players strictly in Random Arenas into retarded autistic emo rocker kids. Make all /report's award triple the dishonor points, and if players incur a ban during April fools, the ban becomes permanent.

i liked the idea of a really early post about being trippy. have a permanent drunk(level5) screen effect. also head sizes 5x bigger.

better idea: Ooze invasion! (the truth is coming!)

Something similar, how about all towns/outposts becoming PvP areas where you could have massive fights? That would be funny, like a full district of Kamadan or LA with everyone all fighting eachother. Auto res. after 15 seconds or something

Although tbh that would have not much to do with April Fools, would still be fun tho, at least for a day

I actually had to laugh at that, mainly because it's a more "intelligent" joke.

Test of Faith:

Enchantment Spell:

For 1...15 seconds, if you are not enchanted, you deal +20...50 damage.

Would be a pretty funny combination aswell.

They make a new class:

NCSoft Employee

With some nice skills:

Greedy Was NCSoft (item spell)
You hold NCSoft ashes, while holding his ashes You steal 1...3...5 $ from every foe credit card that hits you with an attack.

All your money are belong to us! (shout)
For 10 secs Foes in earshot lose 1 $ every time they use a skill.

Farming madness (stance)
For 3...7...11 secs the next time a foe hits you with an attack, that foe is sent to farm 500 hours for each non-maxed title on his account.

Joker Hacker (spell)
The target foe account is stolen.

You look so poor! (shout)
If target foe doesn't use e-peen equipment, you have 98...99...100% chance of selling him a Costume.

Nerfbat (hex)
Next time target foe use a skill, that skill is nerfed.

GW2 (Elite spell)
You sell Guild Wars 2, for 1 week you steal 50$ for each player, and every player suffer from the hype condition, when this effect ends, players realize they wasted their time and effort farming titles and you lose all but 1...3...5% of your playerbase.

I have something for ya (skill)
You sell something trivial and that should have been in the game for free for 9.99 bucks, but you sacrifice 5% of your playerbase.

It's true, but not particularly funny. Also, Anet never stole money. By god, companies trying to make a profit, what has the world come to?

Anet is just a honest company trying to do honest business. The only problem I have is they didn't keep up their end of the deal. (Which is keeping the game competitive, aka balancing it)

So I wouldn't go as far as saying they "stole" our money, but they definatly didn't fullfill their requirements.

The fake update a while back was absolutely hilarious. I wonder if anyone has that link. It had things about skills being affect by whether or not you were standing in sand, making RoJ even more powerful, and making z-rank actually do damage.

They should propose something ridiculous like:

Arcane Mimicry - For 60 seconds target ally is cloned into a 2nd ally with full functionality.

Leadership - You gain 1 Energy for each ally affected by one of your Shouts or Chants (no more maximum)

Fast Casting - For every rank of fast casting, all enemies on map cast, attack, and move 10% slower (like bullet-time on the Matrix)

"That's What Yo Mama Said..." Shout - For 50 seconds, all enemies in radar range are drawn to your location, all other allies are ignored.

Shadow Stoneflesh Mist Form - For 30 seconds, you can not lose health for any reason, you do double damage, your spells cast instantly, your spells cost 1/2 energy. End effect, you lost one random item from your inventory.

From the official Wiki: "Guild Wars Wiki will be down for maintenance this Thursday, April 1, from approximately 5:00am to 7:00am PDT (12:00 to 14:00 UTC)."
...

...

...

Hmm, not suspicious at all. I mean, not that it could have something to do with April Fools Day, to draw such a conclusion would be sooo out of the usual thinking pattern.. *coughforoverusingsarcasm*

I'm excited what they'll pull out their sleeves this time. Another Wiki-Swap? Wow-Wiki on GWWiki and vice versa.

It will be madness! Madness I tell you!

How about everybody turns invisible? that happens to me a few times when I first load into a town, so I would get a bit frantic if my character never appeared. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

do you mean...no one sees anyone...or just you don't see your own char...cause it could be epic or it could suck...
