Very funny Blizzard..

This is their idea of an aprils fool joke(on the WoW-Europe site).

Read and enjoy the attunement to Black Temple.

My thought process when I saw the chart went something like this:

"Ha ha, April Fool's sure is great. They really outdid themselves this year. Although... Hmm, maybe the joke is that we think it's a joke."

You guys need to lighten up really badly, if you can't see the self irony on Blizzards side there.

Even better would have been an item calculator that lets you transform blues to purples with equal itemvalue

I'm not an addict ... maybe that's a lie.

It would be more funny if it wasn't likely to be close to the reality.

I laughed!

Not as bad as where I work, where the head of dev posted a long discussion on how things were going to be changed on April 1st last year, covering loads of points we'd all been suggesting for months. And everyone was really happy ... until we realised it was an april fool (wtg on staff motivation )

This is completely awesome, and you guys are silly for complaining about it. The biggest challenge would probably be heroic Mechanar, since you'd have to do 3 pulls then the boss in the 10m window.

Don't be silly Wodin, blizzard obviously wants you to bring a paladin and 4 mages to every heroic to AOE it down. Also, on the US Site theres an article about A new RTS based on Wow (zomg zomg really!), but they didn't add that to the European site

I found a map of the Black Temple too - unconfirmed but it looks like something Blizz would design.

Err, where did that requirement come from? I don't see anything in the quest requirements that would make you do the pulls before Pathaleon during the 10 min window.

Notice anything about the players names? :-)

I love the exchange in the Tinfoil Hat screenie.

Guy 1: lfg shadow labs
Guy 2: i'll go
Guy 3: you know there's no 's' in laboratory right?

These April Fool's jokes are freaking classic.

Call me gullible, but until I started reading the hover tooltips I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry Nice to see the sense of humor, but it was kinda scary looking at it before. Now I really want to see the key process!

And that map to Black Temple is pretty awesome.

Pulling the second set of mobs means that you have to fight Panthaleon at the end after you've killed the three pulls off(elves -> mech -> elves -> Panthaleon attacks).

You'd key everything off the Black Morass group - when they were doing pull 17, the Mechanar group would engage the trash. Then when the BM group engaged Aeonus, everyone else would attack their boss.

Other indications it's fake:

a) +20% repair costs
b) 15 Primal Nethers per person to construct the epic trinket.
c) 520 fishing is really hard(need to win the contest + two special fish items).

Oh god it's late and I shouldn't be taking this seriously.

The Black Temple thing was very funny. It would certainly be nice, though, if the resources used to build this chart could somehow be channeled into fixing the raid game instead.

Oh I know it's fake, but I'm just saying you don't NEED to kill Pathaleon right after the 3 waves. You could finish the 3 waves and wipe to Pathaleon on purpose, then wait around for the right time to kill him.

Doubt the people who put any significant time into these jokes have anything at all to do with fixing the raid game.
