So, this was going on abit over at twitch tv. and the dev liked the idea.
What do you like to see on April Fool's Day in MWO?

Since it is about 2 weeks away; some of the below might not be viable:
- New model, anything that needs new 3D modeling by creative team.
- New feature, anything that needs extra coding (possibly introducing new bugs).

Some of idea that was thrown around are:
- 1 day of free Premium Time
- New cockpit item
- Change the size of mechs
- Confetti explosion
- Everyone gets 1 random permanent paint
- Replacing Betty's voice with someone from PGI
- Replacing weapon sound effects with gag sound
- Making x weapon mad crazy OP or Lame
- Clan mech cameos

All lasers shoot missiles, all ballistics shoot lasers, and all missiles shoot ballistics.

Everyone skinned as an Urbanmech for the whole day

New tournament:

1) River City Night only
2) The more you play, the better your stats
3) 24 hours long
4) Double points for suicide destruction rushes
5) Mech must be pink and white (Easter is coming you see)
6) Winner gets a banner that hangs behind the pilot. Development is working on 360 degree free look TBC in 2014.
7) Non-tournament players get a banner that says "cannon fodder"

They'll announce the Urbanmech as an April Fools joke.

[xxx WreckinBallRaj xxx]

It'll be an announcement that ECM is getting nerfed.

The bullhurt is strong in this one.

Anyway i'd like to see them continue the trend so far of holiday themed cocpit items and maybe a sale on "easter" paints like bring pinks, yellow and blues.

It would be neat with a special camo too.

lol! the QQ it cause will be enough to power several mech.

[Spiralcrisis]

The Unseen will be announced, and the next day will be ridicule for those who believed it.

[Sheraf]

Remove LRM minimum range

[Cairbre]

Release the Urbanmech, unchanged from its tabletop roots.

Give the players something they want, that is absolutely terrible.

Give ECM to Catapult A1

[Buzzkillin]

mystery update, no patch notes. Random chance to be dropped into a game where everyone is in a urbanmech. After that match, is everyone is given an urbanmech. Anyone who misses that day can buy urbanmechs now.

1. All ECM effect is reversed and affect own team.

2. Anything moving above 100km/h gains the Benny Hill theme music as they accelerate over 100.

3. All ballistic damage of weapons are reversed - the MG's now do 20 damage per shot

4. AMS gain a 50 meter area effect that does 20 damage to everything.

5. Jump jets are now 100 times stronger - so tap that button gently

6. All lasers are pink

No bullhurt* here. Forced me to blow the dust off my pink craven just to be able to play through the madness though. I felt bad.

Edit: lol - I see what you did there!

Replace Bitchin' Betty with Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Have him detail why your `Mech load-out is all wrong instead of doing the power-up sequence.
