Curunen.8729 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I really wanted Slippery Slope across all game modes for one day. :( Would have been hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my clock it's 4:38am where Anet are. I wouldn't expect an update, fake or otherwise, until the usual update time which is about 9-10am their time.

Too many spelling/grammar errors that we didn't remove in time. And if you don't believe that, you can read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page. I'm guessing the site is related to the wiki, seeing how they reference the 'forum post' verbatim as the 'Current Release' article on the main page. I like the name it was posted under: Erin Anett... A little bit on the nose, if you ask me. Just a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neural.1824 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I miss that they used to do these things, even though they irritated me personally. I would prefer to see them come back, but be focused more on optional participation. An example would be something like the Box 'O Fun "mysteriously" shows up in the main cities, and people who touch them get transformed, or have their visuals effected (like the Avaiators, or Bobble head). And, to encourage participation/curiosity, include a random drop that has the same 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance as a precursor. (obviously would need to be restricted to getting the drop once an hour or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mwelp thx for pointing this out, never played the 1st april apart in 2013-14-15, while reading the wiki I just assumed the notes were added in game for the following years..

Sadly it dident they got so scared by the airplain crash outrage ( I dident know about the plane crash how some people expect anet to know about it not being in the same part of the world amazes me, wasent it germany it happened? ) That they put their head in the sand and started doing only fake balance patch notes on the forums.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 There was a hijacked airplane that crashed and a number of people died, somewhere in Europe a week prior, and people from over there were outraged that ANet had a “disrespectful” April Fool’s joke where players ran around with their arms outstretched, playacting being an airplane. On the English forum, there was a multi page outrage thread and another multi page outrage thread on the other language forum. They forced ANet to apologize. I’m not at all surprised that ANet stopped making in game April Fool’s joke after that. If you make some innocent joke and players dogpile on you and berate you for not taking into account something that happened a week before on the other side of the world and force an apology then why bother doing it again. Just make some safe, fake notes and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
