Okay... PGI, you've really gone and "jumped the shark" this time. Your April Fools' Day joke is worse than anything Google ever put out.

What's with the "1.4.59.20XX" numbering? Seriously, a "MegaMan" reference? Go back to "Prank Elementary School", would you?

Making "Enhanced Imaging" (also known as "WireFrame Mode") an April Fools' Joke? Shame on you, PGI! That's been something I've wished to have back since "MechWarrior 2"!!! You could have at least been serious about making that one, and actually put it in the game! Preferably without having the need for 'face goop' (and yeah I'm really gonna call it that)! Heck, having Enhanced WireFrame Imaging as an option might finally take care of just about all of the players who are having Frame Rate Issues! Then you would nearly NEVER have another complaint about somebody's graphical FPS rate being so freaking low!!! BTW, don't forget the highly visible damage indication in that mode!!!

Standing Cockpit Items? You shouldn't joke about those... They might actually have been nice things to add to the store.



Everything else in your April Fools' Day Joke Post isn't even worth talking about, because that's all most certainly JUNK that shouldn't have ever seen the light of suggestion.

I was being really pissed off by the 36GB download, I'm happy that's only a joke.
Is it a joke, right?

These are some of PGI's best ideas! We will be sure to keep asking about them until they are implemented.

Remember, everyone said the UrbanMech was a joke.

NO ONE IS LAUGHING NOW.

Remember when PGI made an April fool's about the release of the Urbie? Well, who's joking now, huh!?

Good thing it wasnt replaced by Tina's barking though...

And... I spent 15 minutes of my precious time to try to make sense of this patch, only to realize later that this patch was introduced on April 1st!

You got me this time..

PS> I DID check if i got 36GB free space on my drive and almost uninstall XCOM2.

They aren't Trolling, that's the sad part. Those are genuine complaints, as if PGI is taking programmers off their tasks for countless hours in order to make the faux latch notes.

In 2012 I released BattleMech #9. It was fun and I did it on my spare time. Took less than an hour.

In 2013 I released Patch 1.2.217. It was fun and took me less than an hour.
http://mwomercs.com/...ch-notes-12217/

These kinds of things are easy, amusing, and can be done outside of company time (if you can believe that). All it takes is a willingness to be silly for a while. Some people cannot handle that, though.

I imagine the kinds of people who complain about April Fools patch notes consuming valuable programming time would also complain about a Police Office stopping to shoot hoops and Pwn a bunch of guys on an inner city basketball court.
