Haha hilarious idea from Blizzard
|
lol, they used to mask their "huge posts" better though =D especially the sc2 one was very obvious
|
Actually fusing to become an archon.
...
How are they gonna use the bathroom now? ;(
|
Haha the SC2 one is absolutely amazing.
|
In that trailer the korean guy is called Veggie Smuggler. HILARIOUS!
|
I transmuted the secret cow level via the power of the Horadric Cube; it exists!
Also crabby is sortof like the windows paperclip guy- he sits in your browser when navigating worldofwarcraft.com. He just informed me, "Blogging makes me feel good. "
|
The starcraft one is awesome, when they merged into an archon and killed everyone with a head nod I laughed so hard ^_^
|
The horadric cube app didn't work. does anyone have a chipped topaz to spare?
|
The starcraft one is soooo awesome! I laughed so hard when i saw it
|
Hehehe. I liked the sc2 one.
|
Imagine if eventually you could control RTS with 3D cubes or holograms someday... that'd be insane.
|
ROFL That's their best one yet, on par with the "In game pizza service" one.
|
|
LOLOL the starcraft 2 one was great =)
|
I always love blizzard April fools.

Why do the console guys get low-latency cross-server play? wtf blizz!
|
This archon is how tastosis should be !
|
Awesome SC2 dark archon model, hopefully they'll get around to using it in MP at some point
The word-paperclip esque WoW helper one was great as well.
|
Crabby just linked me to Rebecca Black on youtube
|
Been waiting for this, love the starcraft 2 and diablo 3 one haha
|
The StarCraft YouTube video was the greatest, Zerg being destroyed by Protoss - sounds about right.
Each April's Fools I always look forward to Youtube's and Blizzard's jokes.
|
that sc2 lol, the difference between those 2 jokers and that hardcore nerd xD
Troll, nuff said
|
hahah really cool
|
gotta love april fools ^_^
|
Blizzard's april fools are always great!

SC2ProMod is considering suing Blizzard over the tag line of that new product ("Like it was meant to be played"). However there is the slight chance that this is a deliberate shoutout. Yeah gonna go with the second option.
http://sc2promod.com/
|
|
Now thats what an Archon should do in the game!
|
Lol that Starcraft2 sensor was awesome :DD
|
lmao that sc2 one was awesome
|
Anyone catch the name of the Korean player saying "GG" at the end?
Veggie Smuggler
|
I'm surprised the SC2 one wasn't announcing LAN support. Then again, I guess that would be an even more obvious April Fools' joke.
|
Archons are indeed people two.
Great stuff.
|
haha lol the archon killing anything ! good one blizzard !
no but really,awesome video : )
|
Lol i love the sc2 one haha so funny.

Sc2: what a troll
Blizzard introduces cross realm play - now you can play with korea! And all your friends around the world!
Oh wait
Did you REALLY want cross realm play?
|
And the map? Found Temple. LOL
|
veggie smuggler = fruit dealer's alter ego
|
Edit: Oops, wrong thread.
On another note, I like the SC2 fool the best
|
Veggie smuggler!! I didn't make the connection at first. That's hilarious xD
|
WoW one is awesome, Crabby looks so cuteeeee! :D
|
The two dudes should have used the DBZ Fusion to merge the HT into Archon!
|
Blizzard always has some pretty hilarious ideas for April fool's day. I sat there for a while doing all the combinations in the Horadric cube app. Unfortunately, I don't have an iPhone so I didn't catch all the references. I like the disclaimer at the bottom though.

They joked about some new hero for WC3, which was so stupid and didn't fit into the game. The joke was that it wasn't a joke, it really came with next patch.
That was some high level trolling!
|
i want the sc2 wallpaper they got on the return to console page, its awesome, anybody can get it please post it
|
It appears your healer is asleep at the wheel. Would you like me to poke him?
|
Unfortunately, with the way Blizzard is working WoW now, I would not be surprised at all if that were legitimate.
|
'I took the liberty of rearranging your action bar' haha brilliant
|
|
|
I appear to have found a Day9 reference on that page. :O
Note the flavor text for the companion bat.
|
|
This is so good. I bet noone got the Diablo reference... + Show Spoiler +"I can see where you see not....vision milky then eyes rot..." Halls of the Blind ftw!
|
Nice force field and guardian shields vs Ultralisk very pro of those white dudes.
|
the visa is not a joke. Its been there for a long time
|
|
.....I kinda want to play motion Starcraft.
|
is it a bat with day9's head? :D
|
The real april fools joke here is the cross region matchmaking.
|
That was freaking hilarius!! I liked the SC 2 more... The WoW is also a good joke, for every one who plays it at least and know that every single thing in the game is being nerfed. Thats why i like blizz D:
|
LOL the SC2 one is hilarious!
I learned that the gesture for guardian shield is to throw your hands up in a giant circle :D Also like how the two guys had a little brokeback moment there deciding to morph the archon <_<
Funny stuff Blizz
EDIT: Just realized they were playing cross region -_- Now that's just rubbing it in our faces , not funny...
|
Silly blizzard, bnet doesn't support cross region plays.
|

So like, the joke is that they allow cross server play but secretly they don't?
|
Found Temple for the SC2 one made me giggle.
|
I demand some makes a kinect hack for SC2 now!
|
Is the korean guy in the sc2 troll video jason lee? It kinda looked like him.
|

I think that was about fruit dealer, the guy was zerg. And I dont think bliz would like to alienate asians :p
Love the way the gesture for phoenix graviton beam lol.
|
Veggie smuggler.... hilarious!!! Also the Archon with like insta kill super-storm!! Talk about imba!!!
|
Is veggie smuggler a play on fruit dealer? :D
|
Why i like a lot this a.pril fo.ol by blizzard?
Coz they seem to hate the trend about every company developing iPhone Apps and Console rubbish stuff.
I see it like a hidden message by Blizzard: "we will never do that".
|
0:43 @ Motion Starcraft.
What a noob. There was an ultralisk there. WASTE OF FORCEFIELD!

|
While the white guys did just barely win, it was 2 vs 1 against the Korean.

lol veggie smuggler. Also I love how crabby has the same eyes as the microsoft word paperclip.

Can anyone link me to the older Blizzard aprul foolz jokes?

it's a tool, like the mobile authenticator. Hope we'll never see a Blizzard publishing massive game Apps or PS3 Move games, and stuff like that.
|
Wow I absolutely loved that SC2 one.
|
Starcraft Motion? Can't wait! Looks to awesome, its the way RTS was meant to be played.
|
omg so goth !
|
TBH that might actually be awesome if it could be implemented properly.
|
The korean's name in the video was veggie smuggler. That makes me so happy I can barely speak.
|
Patch 1.4.11... oh thats the date. oh theres no such page =(
|
|
in the patch notes:
Bunker No change.
hahaha
edit- I still cant stop laughing about - "In addition to losses, wins are now also no longer shown. Instead, players will see Jim Raynor giving them a thumbs-up after every match regardless if they win or lose." my sides hurt
|
lmaooooo. oh blizzard, you silly crackheads.
|
just read these patches on EU i lold on the bug fixed
"fixed a bug where Terran players were able to lose a game."
|
My favourites from the Blizz patch 1.4.11: # Carrier (new unit) is now available from the Stargate.
# Protoss players that are matched against another Protoss player will automatically start the game with 4 Gateways and Warp Gate tech researched.
|
I still remember the Terratron! That joke was the best, although the patch notes are a pretty close second.
|
- Bunker
No change
I just laughed for 5 mins straight
Very well done by Blizzard.
|
wow I would love to see this in a future patch :D!!! : ZERG Because the Protoss and Terran have mechanics to circumvent cliffs, we felt it was unfair for the zerg. As such, Banelings are now able to roll up and down cliffs. This upgrade is combined with Centrifugal Hooks, and build time on the upgrade has been increased by 10 seconds.
|
Bahahaha, patch 1.4.11 ... 1st of April (4th month) 2011
|
Theres a WoW One on the mmo-champion.com forums, so I would assume they are on the blizzard one too. Its about WoW Patch notes.
|
So...Blizzard are aware of my hatred for destructible rocks? and everyones for DQ?

Haha the majority of the sc2 ones are very funny, well played Blizzard.
|
i'm rofling at the blizzard ones :D
|
A friend of mine's real reaction to the SC2 motion gaming one. I won't use his real name.
Anon: wow. that would be hard. is this for real Anon: ???? Rah: it's as real as terratron dude Anon: ok i will get that. just cuz thatd be fun Anon: so use hands instead of controllers XD
edit: the patch notes were hillarious
|
Haha, the WoW ones are pretty good too. Blizzard is pretty funnies.
|
Delta Quadrant new versions, YAY!
edit: PvP automatically starts with 4 gate warpgate, bahahahahaha.
|
I lol'd at alot of the sc2 ones but the 'due to the lack of use lurkers have been removed' absolutely creased me. well played blizzard, well played.
|
At least Blizzard puts some effort in. Love the SC2 joke.
But in general: APRIL FOOLS UGH. Everyone tries to be funny and 99% fail.
Why does a-p-r-i-l f-o-o-l-s get turned into 'great post' >_O
|
Awesome ideas from blizzard , haha this made me laugh pretty hard.
|
The funniest part of that Starcraft Motion video is how they say "The Phoenix Rises from the Ashes" in connection to Starcraft 64 which was an immense failure (probably Blizzard's only massive misstep). Also, the Koreans name is "Veggie Smuggler" (obviously a pun of Fruit Dealer). Funny stuff.
|
Am I the only one who couldn't laugh about some of the changes? Maybe it's just lack of humor but there is an arguement for any of these changes...
Now hatch in batches of 4 to help create more of a swarmy feeling. (Zerg doesn't feel as swarmy as in BW anymore. Seems to have struck a nerve when it was discussed...)
Infestor Neural Parasite ability is no longer channeled and has an unlimited duration. (Seriously.... this change is way overdue. Makes me sad to see this on the 1. of april)
Ultralisk Cavern tech requirement changed from Hive to Hatchery. For obvious balance reasons Ultralisks no longer crush forcefields. (Obviously overpowered but the Ultra is still a joke)
|
Hell yeah, more delta quadrant!! Now i no longer have to leave the game as much when I don't get that map!
|
The patch one actually tells us that Blizzard knows what we are complaining about.
|
"Fixed a bug where Terran players were able to lose a game."
Going to encourage the whiners to whine about imbalance even more. But I'm surprised at how accurate some of the things in the patch note are (shows they know the 'metagame').
Also, map: Found Temple.
|
I just trolled a friend with that video, rofl
|
the SC2 one is sooooo good. I rofl so much after i read the patch note
|
Apparently chobo foreigners have to double team a Korean to win, not to mention use an archon that kills every enemy unit on the screen. Utter BS.
|
Haha, the Patch 1.4.11 for StarCraft 2 is awesome!
|

I think its about this "super secret SCII project" listed on the leaked release lists.
Blizzard did really a great job with the 2011er AF-Edition
|
So Blizzard has been known to create original art assets and use them later on in games for A p r i l f o o l s so uhhh perhaps a Dark Archon unit is confirmed???
Also, I should probably cite my source, Blizzard had a gag a few years ago of a Blood elf bard playing a guitar in an area that would later become a subzone in a place called Dragonblight
|
It seems like Blizzard is at least aware of all the problems that we're complaining about. They took a jab at every balance/map complaint. That's at least a bit reassuring.
|
Hilarious, also liked those Starcraft wristbands
|
SC2 one is awesome!
"does crabby come in patch 4.1 or is it alredy availible?" - Quote from bnet forums haha
|
JUST NOTICED POWER RANK LOL
|
Those patch notes are freaking hilarious.
|
Patch notes actually show that blizzard is aware of all the problems with the game...
|
The patch notes are awesome. Best one:
The Ghost can no longer be produced. Once a Ghost's progress bar is partially complete it will be postponed indefinitely.
Gotta be old school to get that one. :-)

Uh, it pains me that people consider a game that should have come out only 6 years ago to be "old school".
SNES and ATARI game consoles are "old school", Maybe vanilla BW can be considered old school. Starcraft: Ghost is not.

Uuuh, alright? That's probably the best compliment he could give me Maybe you just aren't old school enough.
Also, Blizzard's lack of effort on 1.4 joke patch notes is somewhat disappointing. I wish they'd release more fake gameplay videos or fake units like they used to :/

I like the patch notes, because it not only provides humor, it subtly shows their awareness of things the community finds concerning (such as 4 gate pvp).

Good patch can't wait until its implemented... especially the Cougarship.
Due to lack of appreciation by players, the Mothership has been surgically altered to be sleeker and more visually appealing, and has been renamed to the Cougarship. The Cougarship will automatically gravitate toward enemy units that have been in play for 18-21 minutes and attempt to bring them back to the nearest friendly base.
WIN.
|
I thought the patch notes were epic. I especially like that they're sensitive to what the community is discussing.
I thought this one was great, and a bit unexpected:
Due to lack of use, the Lurker has been removed from the game.
|
omg im choking myself laughing
|
I thought the patch notes were absolutely hilarious - one of the only jokes of the day that actually made me laugh irl.
It's also very clever on Blizzard's part, because they can officially stomp on some of the QQers on the official forums without actually being in any way rude or inappropriate. The team that wrote it all deserves some congratz.
|
To encourage further tournament use, MULEs will now instantly destroy all units in their path when being called down.
LOL @ MVP. Manner mules hahaha
# Players who do not type "GG" before quitting a game will receive an automatic loss for bad manners.
# Players who are winning a match and type “GG” on behalf of their opponent will automatically surrender.
Teaching manners. I love you blizzard
|
Blizzard's april fools jokes are usually slightly more subtle, but this was still quite enjoyable
|
Greatest patch ever. I think my favorites parts are the Cougarship, the ludacris speed Battlecruiser, and the bug that allows Terran to lose.
|
the korean guy in the console thing can blame lag
|
Veggie Smuggler LOL, well played Blizz
|
I really like
Protoss players that are matched against another Protoss player will automatically start the game with 4 Gateways and Warp Gate tech researched.
and
Carrier (new unit) is now available from the Stargate.
|
"The Ghost can no longer be produced. Once a Ghost's progress bar is partially complete it will be postponed indefinitely."
Epic win!
|
Yea the Ghost one is the best imo
|
Anyone else catch the Day9 reference in the Tomb of Immortal Darkness?
"Companion Bat" Binds when used. ... ... Use: Summons a bat that emits a sonic screech, temporarily deafening hostile units within 50 yards and temporarily revealing their location on the minimap. "SCRAAAAWWWWWW
<3 blizzard.
|
"Carrier (new unit) is now available from the Stargate."
Blizzard is finally trying to get people to make carriers, I'm surprised.
|
most of the log is plain hilarious.
"# Whenever a Phoenix performs the barrel roll animation, it cannot be damaged by any attacks."
really got me since i jsut got starfox 64 again. "DO A BARREL ROLL!"
nothing exceptional this year but blizz delivered. nice 1.4.11 ~

Hahahahahah veggie smuggler. I love Blizzard so much. Their April Fool's are always the best.

Due to its extreme popularity, two additional versions of Delta Quadrant have been added to the 1v1 map pool to increase a player’s likelihood to queue for this map.
Honestly, my favorite was
Two new maps have been introduced to support macro-play! Both maps include 30 expansions, and it will take approximately 5 minutes for a scouting unit to reach an opponent's starting base.
|
haha, blizz never disappoints with these <3
|
hahaha oh my god: Fixed a bug where Terran players were able to lose a game.
couldn't stop laughing.
|
"All dungeon & raid bosses now have legs. If they already had legs, they got more legs."
ROFL!
"The Hatchery/Lair/Hive no longer auto-spawn Larvae. Each Larva must be individually queued and produced from this structure. Each Larva now also has a cost of 2 Supply."
haha
<3 Blizzard, they always have great jokes/easter eggs.
|
Oh wow those patch notes had me laughing the whole time I was reading them. Great job Blizzard <3
|
"Infestor Neural Parasite ability is no longer channeled and has an unlimited duration."
They forgot to change the name to Mind Control.
|
The sc2 patch notes were hilarious
|
The patch notes are absolutely fucking hilarious.
That is probably the best proof yet that Blizzard at least listens to the community. They took soooo many shots at their own game.
|
Whenever a Phoenix performs the barrel roll animation, it cannot be damaged by any attacks.
love this 1

At least Blizz has a good attitude to everybody's hate for rocks, scv all-ins, mothership uselessness, etc...
|
1

2
Bunker
No change.
3
Marines and Marauders now attack while moving. We felt this functionality was a lot of fun on the Phoenix and wanted to add it to some of the less popular Terran units.
4
To bring the Queen’s Spawn Larvae ability in line with MULEs and Chrono Boost, Spawn Larvae can now be set to auto-cast.
they were all pretty amazing changes.. but these have to be my favourite.

Oh my gosh. <3
Also:
# All Frost mages now receive a complementary personal Arena rating of 2200 upon reaching level 85.
# Frost mages have been given one additional snare effect, so that they will be brought up to the level of other classes (combined).
Whenever 2 or more warlocks or witches appear in a raid together, the damage dealt by any mages in the raid decreases by 5%. This effect stacks up to 5 times.
WoW, I know, but as a lock and mage, it makes me laugh so much.
|
Hahaha this is amazing, I would have loved to see them implement the Jim Raynor thumbs up for real on the day. xD
I can just see it now
*dies to a terran* *gets a thumbs up from Jim Raynor*
|
The joke-part with Crabby: The Dungeon Helper is of course that it will be free.
Available from Blizzard stores, April 2nd for only 9.99$!
|
Notice the 2 white guys vs the korean dude, his user is veggiemuncher... the complete opposite of fruitdealer lol...
