Day 6/11. Top 1st April prank.
Made my day!

(...and you own me a keyboard, spilled my tea across my desk...)

[Aym]

Two things come to mind...
First it's not "Pay to Win" it's "Pay to PWN" when you own an Urbie!
and Second, it's Atlai.

"Dot dot dot... A review by Axman13-"
Wait, wrong video.
But I will be damned if Death Blossom did not hit my funny bone in exactly the same way.

... Atlantes. It's a Greek plural. I imagine my Greek friend saying it in his Greek accent all the time.

I think the real issue people would have with deathblossom is their graphics card catching fire after all of those weapons fire off in their face. Still ,one of the most entertaining pieces of April Foolery I have seen. Well done.

That's using Latin grammar (second declension masculine), but that's for words that end in US. AtlAS is greek, so it's whatever the other guy said. I figured it was just Atlases, but I have no idea how Greek grammar works.

Besides... The Urbanmech trumps any grammatical discussion. We bask in the awe and glory that real video of the Urbanmech is granted to us.

Thanks for the death blossom I have not laughed so hard in a long time.

[Barkem Squirrel]

The Last Starfighter Urbanmech. Nice try.


You have to love that ability, but here is the inspiration.

cute video, now that your prank is over, what is the real thing being shown to us?

The Urbie in Motion the inside of the cockpit also 360 rotaion they showed more than they should have more days worth of stuff.

[Tom Sawyer]

Nothing gets past Barkhem

[Ridir Semii]

yes, I know, they showed off the urbie doing urbie stuff... lol, damn, I guess my humour is a bit dry, what I like is the old ships throttle with tags that say, "Slow" and "Less Slow" in the cockpit

Nice homage there. LOL!

[Wildstreak]

As I said on FB, cute video but it is not possible.

[Desintegrator]

The Death Blossom video is fantastic !

Must be something around 10.000 points of damage to the UrbanMech.

[Sparver]

Hahahaha! That Death Blossom video... great work PGI! I couldn't help but keep laughing, even the end credits with dancing Atlas mechs.

Well done, well done.

[XX Sulla XX]

Death Blossom made me laugh haha.

[Tarogato]

I just realised something...

... this is the first thing that everybody's going to be trying in their Urbanmechs.

... and you can't do it with a mouse, you need a joystick, or in my case, a Trackpoint.

... *imagines all of you furiously swiping your mice in the same direction repeatedly trying to get a smooth rotation*

Mwuaahahaha!

[MarineTech]

Death Blossom....

I think The Last Starfighter people are going to want to have a word with you folks.

[Runenstahl]

I was seriously worried about the balancing of the Death Blossom so I send PGI a note and received a prompt answer.
To cut it short:

...wont need to worry. The Death Blossom consumable is well balanced due to the fact that it can ONLY be used by the Urban Mech and it's high MC price. Further you should note that once the Death Blossom starts (which is proclaimed by a special soundeffect) you still have time to get into cover before you take too much damage.

[Froschkoenig]

Okay, PGI, how much fun did you have making this?
