April Fools 2011
Lawliet Kira
First off, this quest was amazing 
...if only i could use my gun....also this is a great way to max vanguard, after i did the first time, i went and did it again and this time i ran through the first area sraight to the golem, and it took around 5min all together to kill golem including running to him, so 2k vanguard per 5min sounds pretty nice to me

Well done Anet, you melted a solid cold part of me that meant I didn't have a soft spot for you but with that commando page you've done that! 
code
When Guild Wars 2 goes live the devs should totally be using the Commando model for their ingame appearances, go A.R.E.N.A. NET secret commando!

And as far as the skill changes go, how come no one mentioned this one? Am I the only Star Wars fan here?
"Dual Sun Strike: "Deals 10...60 damage. Deals +10 damage to Sand creatures and recharges 33% faster if you are under effects of blue milk.""

I am not a big fan of the Solo quests, this one was a cool one, but not one that I will keep repeating tho.
Love the Commando and the skills!

And I think I'm going to settle down in the "why so much work for 1 day content?" camp for right now. It seems like a lot to set up, write, model, get approves, and code for such a short period of time.
Then again, my priorities and the Live Team's have rarely lined up.

Omg, My prayers have been anwsered! A friend of mine just got a Riot Shield drop from the Golem boss!
I haven't heard of any other drops yet, but I don't think anyone knows yet. This easily is the best looking shield in the game. (Off farming Riot Shields, pz)

This year's April Fools is GW2 hype. They probably convinced the big wigs that it was basically advertising, when people would post on sites "OMG look at Anet's april fools!" much as they have marveled at Blizzard in the past. More effort probably went into the animations on those GW2 skill videos than this quest.

You think that's cool? I was farming some of the Ascalonians for karmic lulz, and I got this baby to drop:

Yes, I would totally buy it if they did.

"Vampiric ELEMENTAL SWORD of fortitude". - I don't see any.
And your fake pic is horrible... look at the right bottom corner. lol

Corporal Bane will be stationed at Embark Beach until around noon PDT on Monday, so you have the whole weekend to help him save the future.

But seriously....a BMP-sized mission for April Fools seems like a huge waste of resources. Not that the writing took long, but the coding, skills, and approvals probably wasted a week or two (at least).

Is Corporal Bane supposed to be a reference to Michael Biehn who obviously played Kyle Reese in Terminator and Corporal Hicks in Aliens? If so, his name is pronounced "Bean" not "Bane".
go cubs
Love the update lol, sooo funny and so much work put into both the quest, and the profession update.
Might have taken a lot of time to do this but to me, I dont play as much as others so I dont really care haha. Such a funny update, and if they have minis and costumes...Hell yes.

Anyway, I got a laugh out of it, I'll certainly remember this April Fool's more fondly than every past one (which amounted to "Log in. Chuckle. Log out."). If that's not worth a week of time, idk what is.
Some people are in too much of a rush to stop and smell the funny....

Just got home (from work). Havnt played the quest yet (usually read Guru forum first).
If i like it or not, i am still going to really appreciate the effort that was done this year for April 1.
More, cos the Commander Bane quest can be done entire weekend
Is it funny?! Is it a good joke?!
Dunno, perhaps the best joke part is everyone was expecting some other way to look different in outposts

ArenaNet has developers making this neat thing called "tools", which allow gameplay designers to create new missions without the intervention of any programmer.

"Critizing just for the sake of it"
You'r doing it right.
Seriously, what's the point to say they "wasted resources"?
Bah.
EDIT:@all people complaining about what AngelWJedi said, sarcasm anyone?

If no why do you care if ANET takes time to provide a little fun for those who still play. If yes, you would just enjoy the content for what it is, a fun time for most.

Live team, you've really outdone yourselves this year! You're all doing a great job of constantly exceeding my expectations and making me a happy GW fanboy.
Here, have (a picture of) a cookie!

Good job on the weapon icon if that's a fake shield.
Gonna farm for rep points anyway. I'm glad it'll last the whole weekend.

Also, all you trolls need to lighten up. It's April Fools. Go on your Gmail Motion, and email ANet about it if you don't like it.

As a mission its ok short and to the point,As a joke it fails

Has anyone had gold drops during the quest? I've had several blues drop with unnaturally low requirements.

However, enjoying farming a mission for 3 days =/= to enjoying WoC sooner. In my opinion.
