Maelstrom 10-50x BETTER? (SOURCE)

[...] After reading this post I called for a meeting with TOP TOP MEN (that's two tops) in order to figure out a solution to the problem at hand. Frankly, I think we hit a home run. The next 4.0 build (or the one after) should have a Maelstrom that's between 10 - 50x more epic than what currently exists.

Soo, I bolded it out. Is this an exaggeration? A joke perhaps? or are they serious 10-50x? It's already fucking cooler than I expected.

Edit: Yeah, if the Epicus Maximus is what they meant then that's true.

I'm pretty sure in bold it says Maelstrom... and whats with that Epicosity thing is it a developer easter egg thing ONLY FOR THE BETA? or will it come out in live. Can it attack you, etc any more information about it?

I'm going to guess that they are actually now planning to jazz up the Maelstrom, that they put Epicus Maximus there to keep players amused until they can come up with a more breathtaking design.

Epicus Maximus is such an immersion breaker.

It definitely is. Luckily it won't be there in live.

It isn't his fault that putting the maelstrom next to him makes it look junky. Being awesome is a burden ya know.

Man, some people must have turned off their sarcasm radars. Pfft

[Selastan]

blizzard actualy created a placeholder for awesome. just imagine the epicness of the undead sharkosaur and put it into the actual maelstrom design. yay.

Or they did it to make fun of people like you who don't understand it's already pretty damn epic, and the only way they could make it more epic would be to put sharks with fricken' lazor beams in it. It needs no redesign.

Yeah. Pretty much this. What genuinely surprised me is that Blizzard actually did it. I mean when I heard about that blue post, I was like "yeah. I see what they did there. <Insert sarcastic remark here>" But when I saw the screen shots I was like "Wait. For real? Now how about that?"
