I am sad that it appears Blizz has stopped their April 1 joke “announcements”
Too many people started taking them seriously and got angry that they were jokes.
I’m still hoping Blunderstorm is the long play april fools.
Oh, it looks like they have delivered:
Remember the 2-headed ogre one for two players?
That was my favorite.
They always do funny class patch notes, tis tradition. Always fun to read.
Edit: Lmao, so they’ve gone meta and got rid of the class changes because everything is so balanced.
And looks like they still haven’t learned. From the “leaked” notes:
PLUNDERSTORM, THE SEQUEL
Coming very soon, we’re releasing a completely non-PvP sequel to Plunderstorm. This event has no PvP whatsoever, and it’s super easy to pick up all the rewards, as they’re just laying on the ground in the relative safety of the starting zones! Look for this relaxing in-game activity on your calendar under the name “Noblegarden”.
Much shorter then normal this year. Also the plunderstorm jab is funny, even as someone who disliked the event.
and as usual, there are people in the comments getting mad.
blizz could announce that they’re giving us all $1000, and people would still find reasons to be angry.
The real game announcements and patch notes are too similar to the joke ones now…April Fools post no longer needed.
They then made that an actual thing in Heroes of the Storm!
I am April Fools made manifest

Absolutely. Low-key hilarious.

Agreed. Not a fan of Plunderstorm. Hit renown 40 yesterday, for the transmog and mounts, and will never touch it again, but I laughed at the Plunderstorm part.
The nurse warrior was funnier tho imo
The forums itself is a April Fool’s joke that has never ended

absolutely agree with both of you on this one
The “Bard” class that you played like Guitar Hero was my fav all time
The Noblegarden jab is actually just lame. Taking shots at feedback for an active event you just got negative survey results from just seems petty and like your active asks for feedback were disingenuous.
Also, it feeds into the entire lame argument the white knights have been making about a PvE version being a participation trophy or somehow “easier” than the existing event when the existing event literally requires zero wins or ever doing well to get rank 40. It already is Noblegarden, people can just shoot you as you chase the eggs in this one.
edit: and now that I think of it, a funnier April Fools joke would have been to actually make Plunderstorm an egg hunt for the day.
Not allowed to troll anymore. Is against the social contract.
People get too triggered now a days.
=/
but people still play the Troll.
what are they supposed to play now? Night Elf?
