Wisp as race alliance
Dance studio

Tomb of immortal darkness

equipment ranking system was pretty good.
The new dranei model wasn't too bad.
I was always surprised Blizzard never redid the pandaren food delivery, in the spirit of MoP.

I like the World of Warcraft Patch Preview ones.

Since Overwatch is their current baby - chances are the best "joke" with the most work will be an Overwatch-centric joke, just for promotional reasons.

Last years was a bit weak IMO as it devolved into nothing but pop-culture/movie references.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that it was the "new" trainee team they brought in for Warlords. :P

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

They should be working on Legion too much to make one. Besides with 3 of the major CMs getting canned I expect we won't get one.

That's not how this works, sorry.
There will be an April Fools joke. Its part of the territory at this point.

There are always ones for all the games.

Yeah, at this point, it would be like missing Christmas to not have an April Fools joke. It's tradition!

Or what? I swear to god you people get more arrogant by the day. Blizzard doesn't answer to any of you.

Because Blizzard totally only had 3 community managers not to mention at least two of them we know for a fact were not fired and as of yet have zero evidence that any were fired.

Different community managers handle different games. I know you aren't this stupid and usually your trolling involves a bit more effort.

And this is why I specified "...with the most work...". IE. Warcraft will have a couple funny screenshots and the traditional fake patch notes, whereas Overwatch will probably have some unique character/model that actually took some slight bit of actual "work" involved. (examples of this prior was the transforming robot in Starcraft II, and the "librarian" in Diablo 3).

[Wolfheart9]

Worgen model update.

Just this time it actually won't be real.

And I'll be sad.

Umm there were a couple of years recently that they didn't do one so idk where you pulled that from.

You should read the post as opposed to just reading the subject line. There wasn't an "Or Else!" attached to it. He was expressing that he wants it to be an "epic" one... that's all.

[xChurch]

Beta launch, then everyone will cry when they realize it was a joke.

Someone says this EVERY year...

Do people really think that every time March rolls around, everyone at Blizzard goes "Stop what you're working on immediately!! We have to funnel all our resources to making this years' April Fools joke!"? I highly doubt these jokes take very long to make or hinder the development of Legion in any way, shape, or form.

In addition to their current spells, mage Mirror Images now can randomly cast Frost Nova, Ring of Frost, Portal: Dalaran, and Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Images. Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images…

That made me wet my pants from laughing (and I don't even care about mages)

Microsoft Dungeon Helper was pretty good:



Hah! It's funny because it's not helpful!

Where do people keep acting like this wasn't skipped recently?

Fun fact : crabby is built into the battle.net app so anytime you has an error he may show up

[Smank]

Does WoD still count as their joke?

[anaxie]

The should say that in future raids loot is going to be like their WoD Dungeon loot at the start of the expansion.

You know 100+ items with random stats and diablo RNG procs out the ass.

Oh nvm that prob gonna happen.

You are ruining the hilarious posts of MMO-C complaining about the "changes" of April Fools.

Let people forget this thread ever existed man or it wont catch people by surprise
