First part of mission is runnable - wait for the ascalonians to engage the krytans then run straight past

I guess since there is the weekend starting at noon they are incapable of starting something early in one day then ending it while a weekend is going on---

ROFLed, of course.

And then realized I WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE MANY OF THOSE THINGS!

I'd love a modern day game by Anet (I wonder how much Hellgate IP would go for...), and I think they'd get it really right.

And Anet could actually get money from me with these (Impossible odds is a skill I'd kill for. I always liked Shiro, I wonder if he has any sisters...):

Monster Skills

You can now buy the following monster skills from the Guild Wars In-Game Store:

* Juggernaut Toss
* Keiran's Sniper Shot
* Impossible Odds
* Isaiah's Balance
* Siege Turtle Attack
* "There's Not Enough Time!"
* Wurm Siege
But the crown goes to:
Quote:
Added the Patience title track. A player's progress toward this title is based entirely on the length of time since the player last sought information about the Guild Wars 2 release date. Elapsed time can be checked by typing "/gw2" which prints, "You have inquired about the release date <x> time(s) and have lasted <x> minutes since your last inquiry."

I see new stuff in GW, and mission, a new NPC, and a quest...all for just 1 day?!?!?! April Fools, srsly anet???? So this does answer something though...

Q: Why have we not seen or heard any news on Winds of Change content?

A: April Fools! We here on the GW1 team have taken a lot of time to add new content that will be removed in 1 day. We worked hard to get this out in time, and had to cancel working on Winds of Change just to make joke, enjoy!

Wait what? Graphics, loading screen, new skills, new quest, new text, voice acting... that's not... enough?

I personally found it great. It's a wonderful addition and people seem to be enjoying it in game as well. Lots of positive comments and fun with the new skills and graphics. I thought it was an outstanding addition. I hope it remains!

I can't believe the amount of people I've heard bitch about this. Apparently they were expecting a free blowjob from Anet this April Fools.

Well, I guess those people who wanted the option to return to Pre with their Seared characters got their wish. Too bad they still can't get LDoA with them...

The only reason I am pissed off today is I won't be home until 1000PM and have to wait till then for my ingame lulz.
