I am April Fools made manifest

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”.

This is so shady I love it :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

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

:joy: 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? :dracthyr_tea:

Yep. Delete all Trolls!

It’s funny because you can tell the devs are salty about peoples’ reaction.

isn’t that just wowhead?

Huh?
No those are the “patch notes” from Blizzard.

SOCIALISM!!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
/s

For real, Blizzard. I’ll take $1000 any time you like.

We’re pleased to announce that, due to the unprecedented state of nearly-perfect balance across all classes in all content, we cannot find any spell or ability that would be better changed than left unchanged.

… okay
But, are they really joking?

You’ll be happy to hear that Blizz took shots at Plunderstorm carebears as part of the April Fools announcement :heart:

I see other posts with the quote but IT MUST be posted more for maximum hilarity.

The plunderstorm jab made me chuckle but the last april fools post I legit laughed out loud for was the SL one:

Something like, “Since everyone is surrounded by death in the Shadowlands, Death knights are being renamed to just “Knights””
