Any U.S. Navy Chief worth their salt will tell you that this is the 115th Birthday of the establishment of the Rank of Chief Petty Officer. That is the only significance of this date.

Hey, Akuma does everything Sheng Long was joked to do, so he lives in the game, sorta. ^_^

It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.
this is going to be fun! now i know what words i should be sayin while i smash stuff lol
Funny.
I'd like it to be real, too. As an option. It's something silly, but it would be fun to have, and to use when playing the game silenced or at low volume.

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:
NCsoft NorCal is proud to announce a new feature for the City of Heroes® and City of Villains® games; that of Visual Sounds. Visual Sounds are based on the comic book staple of onomatopoeia, or the use of a word to replace a sound. Classic comic book examples are Pow and Ka-Boom! in colorful bubbles while heroes and villains are slugging it out. City of Heroes takes a huge stride forward by replacing simple sounds with the exciting new visual medium of Visual Sounds.

Again, the NCNorCal team COMPLETELY misses the point of it all.
Where's the "PEW PEW"? Do your frackin' homework with the community before you announce something like this.
I swear.

Yeah <snort> I kinda fell for this as well, until the 'building own systems', which made me raise an eyebrow, and then the 'removing all sounds' was a give-away...
I must admit <guffaw> they had me going good - I was about to emails everyone i knew.... <chuckle>...
sad thing is, i want it now, just to see the havok and lag it would cause on an 8-man high-diff mission... imagine all the sounds....
tromp tromp tromp
ka-pow
bing bzing
fwam....
krakatow - Lighting
KA-BOOM Thunderclap
Krunch Stone mallet
sigh....
I wantses these thingies so badsise now.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Btw this part just gives out the joke:
'Players can optionally disable the Visual Sounds in the options menu, but are encouraged to keep them on, as all the sounds in the game are being removed to make room on the players hard drives for the new Visual Sound graphics.
Issue 12's Improved Character Creator'
[/ QUOTE ]
And the "Issue 12: Pow, Biff, Boom, Bam" part wasnt hint enough?
Seriously though, I'd use this for some of my Toons if it was real.
And to think I wanted to fire my LAZER n go SHOOP DA WHOOOOOOP :T
Gahahah! That is awesome!
Happy April Fools everyone.

Hey... they may have picked a weird day to make the announcement, but that doesn't mean it's a joke. I did a little research, and found a trailer for this upcoming feature on youtube....

Actually, I'm pretty sure Phil Foglio was using Freem as a sound effect in his comics years ago, way before Colbert. But I'm too lazy to dig through my collection to be certain.
And I knew what the 'announcement' was as soon as I saw it, but I had an unfair advantage. I had already been to a couple of other web boards I read and seen their April Fools posts, so I was sort of expecting it. But if I had come here first, it would have been a different story.
"Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to let you in."
Too early, brain hurts, need coffee...
But it would've been hot to teleport all around with "BAMF" trailing behind you!!! You know everyone would drag out their Claws/Regen just to seee if it made the noise we all know... Good one guys
Too bad this is an April Fool's joke.
You do realize that WoW already has a add-on to do this, without disabling the sounds.

this Would be a cool feature IF
first off the sound was left in if you wanted it to be
and second, If we could Type in our Own Copy for the sound effects!
