There are a few really funny things in the April Fool's patch notes. +1 PGI geek cred.

You laugh, but...

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW URBIE CAME TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE GAME TO BEGIN WITH.

Yeah.

PGI made an April Fool's joke out of Urbie, and then the thread was left open where we kept it alive for well over 100 pages and spawned offshoot threads to cement our demands.

Sometimes jokes are dangerous.

Eh, the joke is still on us because they actually wasted the time to bring that bad joke to the game.

Just cause you can't make it work, don't make it bad, chief. First place to look if something fails, is always in the mirror.

I shudder at the man hours this undoubtedly took.

Looks like the fan boy's are eating it up.

PGI could never convince me the entire game wasn't a practical joke at this point.

It's a bit heavy handed. The funniest april fools jokes are the kind that Blizzard usually do. The ones that seem plausible enough to take at face value, unless you know what they're up to.

But +10 points for taking the effort, there was some funny stuff in there.

New Module


Enhanced Imaging
Initiate Enhanced Imaging!
With this Module equipped you'll finally be able to Initiate Enhanced Imaging! Wait, what's Enhanced Imaging? We're glad you asked, Cadet.
As we all know, information is ammunition, and when you Initiate Enhanced Imaging you'll gain access to such vital Clan technologies as:

[indent]
• Data Feed Scanner
• Imaging (Enhanced)
• Damage Assessment Readouts
• Cutting-edge vector-based graphical enhancements
• An inflated sense of superiority over lesser combatants[/indent]
The Enhanced Imaging Module is also the first Module in MechWarrior Online to stack its efficiency when used in conjunction with a real-life component! In order to maximize the effectiveness of their Enhanced Imaging Module, truly dedicated pilots can order and apply Limited Edition luminous rub-on tattoos directly to the face area.



Don't joke about this, PGI! We need it in the game!

Saddest attempt at an April fools joke ever. As dull as they come but right on par for PGI.
lame, unfunny and a waste.

Void would also be a good map if it were a planet near a blackhole, post feeding hours though.
