April Fools isn't that funny any more

Considering many of the April Fools patch notes in the past actually become a reality (GCD for all spells)

[Chetal-wyrmrest-accord]

April Fools jokes are rarely funny to begin with because literally everyone expects it, so it’s basically just a comedy routine that comes across as forced.

That, and in Blizzard’s case they almost always include something that makes fun of something people are passionate about so people get mad.

• Soul of the Forest has been donated to Demon Hunters.
• Blazing Soul has been donated to Demon Hunters.
• Soul Shadows (Artifact Trait) has been donated to Demon Hunters.
• Warlocks are refusing to share their souls with Demon Hunters.
• Almost certainly unrelated to the above, several Warlock spells seem to have gone missing:
  • Dark Soul
  • Soul Conduit
  • Soul Strike
  • Sacrificed Souls
  • Burning Rush
  • Soul Fire

In that case, I hope these all come true!

GCD for all spells

If you’re excited for classic, have i got a funny story for you.

I always cringed whenever a kid in my class asks “is the test an april fool’s joke?” whenever I had tests on April 1st.

[Bigbilly-illidan (Bigbilly)]

Not just that, but their real announcements have been more extreme than their April Fools joke. BfA itself already feels like an april fools joke, and of course we can’t forget Diablo Immortal

I thought they were pretty hilarious.

My favorite was that you could now CC ferals by throwing a slice of cheese onto their head.

lol

Ya, imagine if they came out and said they’re gong to take our talent tree and put it in loot crates. That would be a funny April fools.

THat wouldn’t be an April fools joke , that would be something they’d actually do

You don’t say.

[Karckus-turalyon]

Yup. Can’t wait to see what actually ends up in the game a year from now.

[Cruelzebub-zuljin]

Aw, c’mon. The overtuned pepe goggles were hilarious.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

They’re plenty funny. Stop being so sour and let people have some fun. You are free to ignore the forums this one day of the year if it triggers you

Yea, it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be a few years back. But most April Fools jokes usually aren’t nearly as funny as the people doing it think.

[Wolfguide-wyrmrest-accord (Wolfguide)]

Used to laugh at them. Sorta lost the humor as the game degraded. Now its more a list of things I wouldnt be surprised if they actually did. More scary than funny now.

[Derkarn-area-52]

Jaded internet people criticize everything. Details at 11.

[Sorelai-wyrmrest-accord (Sorelai)]

Don’t really mind them. I just ignore them for the most part.

Though, Stackoverflow really overdid it this year. The site won’t be useable all day.

[Thiluro-illidan]

I think Blizzard uses April Fools to test the waters - see if people take it as a joke or as a possible future scenario. It’s never 100% a joke is it?

[Sincubus-moon-guard (Sincubus)]

I should go back a few years and see if this one is in any of those April Fools posts.
