Tier-17 4-piece set bonus for Feral Druids should now correctly have a chance to trigger from Multistrikes.
Quests
Legacy
Striking Back (Dun Morogh): Repaired Bomber should now correctly fly over Ironforge Airfield and allow players to complete the quest.
Raids and Dungeons
Blackrock Foundry
The Blast Furnace
Phase 1
Furnace Engineers should now throw a bomb at players roughly every 6 seconds. Throw Bomb is now instant-cast, but the range is now 40 yards (down from 50 yards). These changes are intended to diminish the relative benefit of having two or more priests, compared to one or none: Mind Control allows for more controlled targeting of the Bombs, but does not speed up the phase as a whole.
Reduced the health of Heat Regulators.
Blackhand
Blackhand's health has been reduced by 5% on Mythic difficulty.
Blackhand's Massive Shattering Smash ability now deals 25% less damage on Mythic difficulty.
Iron Soldiers' health has been reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
Collections
Heirlooms
In response to player feedback, we have increased the power of Heirloom for levels 91-100. This change is intended to help Heirlooms be more competitive relative to Draenor dungeon gear.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue that could cause Mistweaver Monks that had undergone a Paid Character Boost to deal less damage than intended while in the process of unlocking skills and abilities.
Fixed an issue that could cause looping flight paths used for quests to not work correctly.
Diablo III - PTR Patch 2.3: Social Features
A new Diablo III update went out last night, with some familiar features.
Heroes of the Storm - Big Head Mode

What is Big Head Mode?
Variety is the spice of life in Heroes of the Storm, and we’re always looking for new ways to allow players to customize their Heroes and infuse their personalities into the denizens of the Nexus. Big Head Mode is just another step in that direction.
Have you always wanted to see chibi Illidan face off against a kawaii Lord of Terror? Now’s your chance! This unique gameplay mode is automatically enabled the moment you step foot into your favorite Battleground, and features the same dynamic 5v5 combat you’ve come to know and love!
This is the pulse-pounding mode you’ve always wanted to play, but were afraid to ask for.
Until now…
Feature Highlights:
Experience enhanced collision using Facecheck™ technology as you run headfirst into tall grass and bushes and scour for your enemies!
An all-new set of unique character dialogue brings to life these familiar Heroes as you’ve never heard them before.*
Get closer to your beloved Heroes and get a new perspective on your favorite Battlegrounds, just watch out for low-hanging branches!
Be wary fighting against opponents who specialize in headshots. Just because your character has more innate charisma now doesn’t mean that Nova will show you any mercy!
Bonus features: Many models have received HD upgrades to their heads and hair, adding increased size and fidelity to their brazen beards, majestic antlers, stunning mandibles, and more.
Don’t delay! You can log into Heroes of the Storm now and explore this new game mode firsthand. Please be aware that it will only activate once you have loaded in on one of the many diverse Battlegrounds of the Nexus!
Share your favorite screenshots you’ve taken in Big Head Mode and let us know what you think of this fun new feature in the comments below. As always, make sure to keep an eye out for future developments, including the adorable Mini-Mount Mode**!
Guild Wars 2 Adds Flying
A recent Guild Wars 2 update added flying, filters, and new music.
Not all of them are jokes, the heirloom ilevel increase did go into the game. I can confirm. I would assume the WoW hotfixes are real, the rest are jokes.

Chaud really should have separated these out. The April Fools stuff is fine to post, but put them in a post by themselves so people don't confuse real and fake - not that it is really that hard to figure out.
86 guilds have killed Blackhand by now, the rate of new kills is perfectly OK. The nerfs are uncalled for and unneeded. The itemlevel nerf was more than enough.
The worst AF jokes are the ones that are disappointing because they're not real. Big head mode was virtually mandatory in Unreal Tournament and it's sequels, would loved to have seen it in HotS

It is very much real. Log in and you can play with it!
This year AF jokes are pretty weak on my taste. Every lazy developer out there implement "big head" modes into their games. It's really uncreative on blizzards side.
