my 1 complaint (and this is consistent so far with all Stumme-content) -- i wouldn't have known about it unless ally said something or i checked wiki. same happened with heartsofthenorth addition...
otherwise, great job on the content & the extra stuff - bane twit is great.

This April Fool's Day made an unreasonably grindy title reasonable.
So, two thumbs up.
One question though: Are we supposed to assume this quest is canon?
That would be hilarious.
It would also open up a world of questions (how did they get modern technology so shortly after GW2? If it was from even further into the future, why didn't they have anything even further into the future, like ray guns and the like?).

Don't you see? After Guild Wars 2 there won't be a Guild Wars 3. ArenaNet will step into the FPS genre and this is their time to practise for it!

Maybe "Armed Response Emergency Network, Ascalon?" Guess not.

We were able to do that because technology grows exponentially. There has been more advancement in the last 100 years than in the last thousand.
However, in GW2 guns barely exist, to say nothing of all the other crap Bane has.

If you all would be so kind as to read this post and understand it, I'll solve all your concerns.
IT'S A FRACKIN APRIL FOOLS' JOKE. The commando class isn't playable, you won't have commando class mechanics in GW2, and the "guns" are nothing more than magic flintlocks.

There you go again, ruining all our fun.

Annihilator Quest
I got a situation with the boss, were it as a skill to warp backwards. I managed to back it into a corner. I can't get to it because it's warped into Ashford Abbey (town). Hitting it in town only made it warp further back to the point of unreachable. I tried to pull it out , but it can't get past the fence. I know this quest is going away very shortly, just thought I'd share this moment with everyone.
Happy Commando Fools Weekend!
Updated:
I found a hole in the fence left of the portal. By standing in the middle just to the right a little of the door and clicking the boss my toon will get past the fence.
While in town with the Annihilator Golem, it wants nothing to do with me just keeps warping all over the place. It will warp back out of town if you just push in the direction towards the fence.

Corporal_Bane Now that history is fixed, nothing left to do but wait for the Asura time-gate to re-open so I can go home. |

Edit: I'm looking over the wiki and I can't find a profession named Togo, Turai Ossa or Whiny Little Brat in Guild Wars, yet I clearly remember playing those in the BMP.

Are the image links on Bane's twitter dead? None of them seem to load for me.

Tell me, did we get to play as the "Lieutenant Thackeray class" during the HotN content? Because those certainly weren't ranger skills....oh, no, we didn't, it was just a one-of skillbar used for one solo mission (or series of solo missions) and nowhere else.

The mastermind behind it all. I kind of love how the entire thing was one guy pondering something, going "Hey, that might be fun!", and grabbing others to help on it in their downtime.

edit: oh blast! While bane's squad was fighting demons in the realm of torment, we should have asked him to send them on a slight detour and put a bullet between the eyes of that quote unquote 'goddess' Kormir.
