Cinnder Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 2 hours ago, Peacemoon said: I’ve never known April fool patch notes to actually be implemented into the game. It’s a bit weird. You've just hit the problem on the head. An April Fools prank is where you tell someone that something has occurred or you've done something inappropriate and shocking, wait for their natural reaction of horror, and then you tell them you were just kidding. In this case, the patch notes are the initial setup, but they've missed the punchline by actually implementing the change. If you actually *do* the inappropriate and shocking thing you have announced, it's no longer an April Fool's prank. It's just doing something inappropriate and shocking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it becomes a great joke. Check out the Star Trek A.S.S. April fool's joke someone linked here a while back. @Homecoming: please make sure to up the ante on this next year. I am starting to think the small percentage of indignant players may actually be the best part. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And boy am I glad they did not give us any loco schmuck from the fifth dimension... They definitely did stuff like this a few times, like "Visible Sounds" in 2008 (that's where "FREEM!" comes from).

crippl3 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Also, the Brawl change absolutely rules. Did this affect the Mastermind pet version too? Because I'm like 75% sure I saw one of my Thugs knock a guy about 40 feet with a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golstat2003 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wait that's a kid? LOL I thought that was some greek mini god or something. That does not look at all like a kid. Lordy. But thanks for reminder us how to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarky Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I could bot figure it out last bight how to get rid of it. So i asked. No one knew so i did not get done levelling an ice blaster up to 35+. So i will not be going in tonight’s ICe ITF with my SG the joke, like so many, is more griefing people and then laughing about it than it is being humorous. The human race is vile. And that is just another reason not to want a small one following me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Monkey Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 As a prank goes, this is brilliant. Completely harmless and yet annoying beyond understanding. But does anyone really like pranks, really? It's basically bullying, but a little less mean. The problem with this one is that it doesn't end 10 seconds after the "gotcha!" as a prank should. Learning we can dismiss the buff helps a lot.

The "dismissal" is short term, and the annoying little bugger keeps popping up. 1 Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - Paragon Wiki updated for Homecoming! Your contributions are welcome!

Learning we can dismiss the buff helps a lot. And evidently the dismissal is temporary. this is indeed a form of bullying. Doing something to someone without their permission or approval because you think it us funny soecifically because they do not like it. i am not only logging out until it is fixed i am considering taking a longer break from the game. This type of irritation is not something i will put up with. No matter how much you laugh and explain it is a joke. Enjoy the humorous situation. Without me. I enjoy the city for the art if character building. Having this thing following me is as much fun as you adding it into one of my oil paintings and trying to tell me how neat it is.

Snarky Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have made two previous threads with complaints about the baby following everyone the 1st disappeared without notice. I learned just now it was merged without telling me into oatch notes my second thread was just merged there i care nothing about talking about the patch notes i consider the unwanted unasked for and undesired kid following everyone a form of bullying for some Devs amusement and i consider burying the discussion of this issue censorship 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
