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

ok, since I dont go to the gw2 sites (have no reason to).....there is NOTHING for gw this year?
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---
ok the 'game' is lame....if that is all there is.....

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!
