World of Warcraft Patch 9.0.5.0.5

[Chilela]

Ironically, the Classic section is probably the most akin to the original 2006 April Fool's patch notes (as well as the second 2011 iteration), which were more satire of game mechanics than pop culture references and puns. I can dig it.

You know, I never thought about it before, but a dungeon taking place in the mushroom network tunnels sounds pretty fun.

[Progenitor Aquarius]

Mage. No changes needed. Ok! So You guys just admited you like us the most!

[kaintk]

I mean jokes aside that’s quite literally completely false

they spend a raid for those april joke

[MrLachyG]

they spend a raid for those april joke

sure buddy. whatever you say

[blankfaced]

Considering they literally don't change mages ever, to the point where they even ignore broken talents for months on end, that's pretty low to make it a joke.

This really isn't all that funny. The joke patchnote shtick has really gotten stale after a decade of doing effectively the same thing.

Boring.

Randomly hit MMO-C today just to see what they put out, and I gotta say there used to be actual effort put into it, sometimes including models and everything.

So as an outsider who didn't buy my first expansion in years, yea definitely stopped putting any amount of effort into it. Hell, I remember when they didn't even make it completely obvious it was a joke.

I mean everyone kinda expects it now, so instead of actually trying to fool people they can go full tilt ridiculous which makes for a better joke.

[Asrialol]

Less time spent writing these April's fools jokes, and more time fixing the game.

This guy right here is the perfect example of the average mmoc poster. And wow player. Average.

[Niwes]

meh. creativity is nowadays not was it once was at Blizz HQ. they did better in past. nonetheless a solid 5/10 for the invested „effort“.

yep, thats EXACTLY the point. in a time when its not obvious that its a joke, it was funny. Modern ATVI Blizzard is that „funny“ that they even have to explain their jokes.

to me it feels Blizzard solely do stuff for 10-12 year old kids or braindead ppl. since years. when this company became so full of such low expectations ???

[cocomen2]

Even in joke , shaman notes feels like nerf.

[Ermelloth]

Pre-nerf Moonkin "Сonvoke the Spirits" going into live in PvP would be a better April fools joke than any of this...

Oh wait. It actually went live.

[rarhyx]

why is wowhead's april fools better than blizzards...?
I mean the first or second time with those "patchnotes" it was actually cool and funny but they just dont even try anymore...

[Daan]

I don't know if I should laugh or cry when Blizzard is making an April fool about their known balancing issues.

[dope_danny]

"haha amogus rite??, we understand you fellow young people! please bring your parents back"

[cozzri]

When the joke patch notes sound more fun than what they actually give us....

[kodemonkee]

Warlock
Vile Taint. That’s it. That’s the patch note.

Good one :-D
