No, but as stated in the OP it's fully borked non-ranger character creation.

Don't believe it?

Lets not turn this into yet another retarded PvE vs PvP argument, thanks.

It's still for one day. Surely you can live with PvP being broken for one day?

lol, just create a mask with 1+4 Expertise and hope it doesnt get nerfed into nonexistence once this day is over... MAaybe you actually get the benefits of expertise, even though you dont have that available to you.

Stop complaining and try to capitalize instead of posting april fools QQ posts

Any idea how many PvErs would cry and complain if PvE was broken for one day?

I can tell you it would be a lot more than PvPers that are complaining about this.

This bug is balanced, as it affects everyone. :>

Ahem. I'd like to take some time again to offer my services to ArenaNet and NCSoft, in exchange for a modest paycheck.

Surely there are people who paid for this game because they wanted to play it the way they wanted to play it and are not satisfied with this sort of blunder which prevents them from doing so?

Arcain · Apr 01, 2008, 10:22 AM // 10:22

its only for a day.

Ranger PvP characters can still fully create all armors and apply runes and insignia. No other profession can do so on a PvP character thanks to this.

Actually, as stated above, you just need to load a template or do it on a hero. Bit of a workaround, but again not really something you need to make a big fuss over when it will only last ONE day.

And for the record, I do PvP.

It's nearly impossible to effectively preprot with this crap.

I honestly don't care what Anet does with PVE, if this sort of stuff pleases the masses, go for it, I have no issues with that but please keep it out of PVP in future.

quickmonty · Apr 01, 2008, 10:52 AM // 10:52

Seems to me that the PvP crowd needs to step back and realize that this is just a GAME.

Lighten up people!

Holy cow, lighten up.

I agree that the bug sucks, but it's not a massive deal. I would find it hard to believe most PvP players have to roll new PvP characters more than once or twice a week.

PvE is broken for more than half year. It's called ,,GWEN''. Our look doesn't matter, armor doesn't matter, skills doesn't matter (unless you are a monk, but even then you can use shield + vampiric sword), skill doesn't matter.

Oh, and it's just ONE day. I haven't played pvp or pve for over 6 days. How I did this? No idea.

Sab · Apr 01, 2008, 11:13 AM // 11:13

You can't save armor from heroes. If you don't have access armor templates, you're basically screwed.

Sub Frost · Apr 01, 2008, 11:16 AM // 11:16

The horror... the madness... the... oh wait... it's just a game.

Kook~NBK~ · Apr 01, 2008, 11:50 AM // 11:50

Gonna echo this: It's only one day. Take the day off from GW. It's springtime for Pete's sake. If the weather where you're at is good, get outside and do something. If it's not good, do some spring cleaning around the house.

Zahr Dalsk · Apr 01, 2008, 12:25 PM // 12:25

O noes, teh gaem iz brokened!

Really, it's just a day, relax. Read a book. Take a walk. Eat some food.

QFT.

I like the stickfigure joke, but the armour part is just a dumb predictable bug.

Brian Fellow · Apr 01, 2008, 12:32 PM // 12:32

I think the bug is the equipment template. GW wants you to play Ranger only in PVP!
