    Wowhead's April Fool's was much better/more sadistic than Blizzard's own.

    Wowhead's joke was just mean.

    Just saying BFA is joke enough, no need to think something new.

    The wowhead ones were probably a low blow, more than Blizzard has managed to do

    Wowhead certainly tricked the most people.
    Hated it. I loved their april fools jokes in the past, but that was just mean and annoying.

    Wowhead one was absolute dogshit. It's not funny if the things they tease are actually really desirable.

    I don't know, I think it's kinda funny that people are so salty about it.

    If they have time for this horse shit, then they better be actively developing Shadowlands before I break my foot off in Hazzikostas' ass.

    Especially since it was done on march 31st for the US, when blizz offices would be closing. on the same day an alpha build came out. and on a tuesday, when they usually release this stuff.

    so yeah, it was VERY beleivable, pair that with it not being funny, so much as "oh my god i cant wait" to only have it come out as "LOL WE TRICKED YOU" yeah people are pissed. they rather laugh, then be tricked.

    Most of this is community stuff... not blizz, blizzards was literally just a CM who wrote up a bunch of silly patch changes.

    Blizzard needs to step up their game.

    Wowhead was the only good one, because it's the only one that wasn't immediately obvious. People being salty about it only makes it better.

    Tbf, I'm pretty sure April Fool's jokes should cause a bit of a stir. As long as it ain't harmful such as joking about a cure to Corona or some shit.

    Some generations here remember when Swedish television had the joke that if you pulled a lady's stocking over your TV, the screen would be fully colored. MANY fell for it, some laughed, others were fuming.
