Danikat.8537 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm not able to log in yet, but it sounds like I've got a lot of interesting stuff to check out when I do. :)I'm glad they re-enabled the cat tonic from last year as well as adding this new one.

There is even a task to conquir the biggest thing in the mist war while under the influence of the tonic!!I understand that its currently usable in WvW and that there is an achievement tied to it, what I was saying is that I'm all for the tonic being a permanent part of the game as long as it isn't permanent in WvW. There's an achievement? Is it the one you immediatly get when talking to the NPC in Lion's Arch or a different one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 whats an honor "SYSTEM"? does it mean if you dont do cm fractals and do some other fractals with choya tonic and speak to the choya sage, the system tracks internally you're dishonorable? and that might be used in future content somewhere and this is some kinda another new version of the shadowstone "anomalous appearances" achi?

I've heard that one of them is to conquer Stonemist Castle in WvW (the hardest location to capture) so my guess is Anet wanted to put in a bunch of things which would be crazy to do as a choya but didn't want anyone to feel they're going to miss out because of the short time limit and difficult achievements.

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm so glad to see these kind of April Fools jokes back after several years of none. It seems Anet did well since it is a tonic that can be turned off and on. This way it does not really affect people that don't like things like the old jokes. I personally love it and it really made my day. I'll join others and say I hope this is can be made into a version that works after April 1. It's so funny and awesome. I took screen shots for the first time in a long time using the tonic. Thanks for doing this great work!I call this picture, "Let me give you a hand of applause." =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like you would be forced to buy it and use it. Or do you have something against Choya as opposed to the other combat tonics? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Every living story I check if there's an endless quaggan or skritt combat tonic yet. Choya is pretty close but odd it'd be temporary for 1 day. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post is inaccurate regarding Novelties...unless they have changed it since last night.All of us 'Choya' were using kites last night; not sure which other Novelties might work.

Danikat.8537 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I like the touch that the achievements don't give exact objectives. I decided the largest WvW objective I could capture was a camp, the hardest Fractal I could do was 1 and the most dragon minions I could kill was whatever I got today. :)(I was tempted to actually go for Stonemist, but my server already has it and is determined not to let it go and I don't have that much time.)@Inculpatus cedo.9234 said:@Danikat.8537 said:I'm not able to log in yet, but it sounds like I've got a lot of interesting stuff to check out when I do. :)I'm glad they re-enabled the cat tonic from last year as well as adding this new one.Just an FYI, the 'cat tonic' has been enabled for the last week.
