In Issue 12 they are changing Assassin Strike to Assassin Heal, didn't you hear? Stalkers now heal the enemies.

Yes, and placate automatically puts your whole team in the old moment of glory and casts psychic shockwave on everyone, and when you res at the hospital Envoy spawns in the lobby and you can't exit thru the front doors until you kill him.

Best Joke EVER!!!!
They had me right up to the "Sounds being removed" part
I lie. They got me completely. Wasn't till the 2nd post of this thread that the penny dropped

Yep, that's where I was... I thought, "Bummer... I like the sounds."
Then I looked back at the part where they say "We're rechristening it: Issue 12: Bam, Piff, Boom!" and I went... "Wait a second...something's fishy."
Good one, guys!

I hate this...absolutely hate this idea. My opinion of course and I join with those that think this is absolutely dumb. Come on Norcal get with the program. This is an absolute mistake and makes the game move in a backwards direction of creativity and fun.
Wow...I really hate this idea.

I fell for it.
I even copied that last paragraph with the intent to start screaming bloody hell.
I'm so glad I didn't stay up into the early morning last night, I usually check the forums before going to bed ... I might have been the first victim.

I don't care if they get even moar damage, if I have some chance to see them. The routine of AS/run like a girl gets old fast. I don't die but can only kill them if they are n00bs.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.

Oh, lord...
Please, for the love of mercy...
PLEASE tell us these can be TURNED OFF or otherwise DISABLED in the "Options" panel.
Please, please, please, please, please...
<holding head in hands> I just don't get it... you put people to work coding these sophomoric, infantile, ridiculous, crapola Visual Sound Graphics, but we are STILL lumbered with Travel Power Suppression...
What the heck do you people DO all day?
Do you even READ comics any more?!?!
Do us all a favor: Watch the "Justice League" DVDs, especially the ones with any hero who flies or teleports or has super jump or super speed.
That would be just about every episode, by the way.
In fact, watch 'em all TWICE.
And try -- really, really TRY -- to get a clue about the genre you are working in... please? Whether you want to admit it or not, whether you even KNOW it or not, this is animated comic book superhero gaming, not flipping-the-pages text adventuring.
Jeez...

If we can save this game, I promise I will never complain about Travel Power Suppression again! You have my word on it!
"The customer is always right."
This would be the most awesome togglable effect ever.
Fear the mercs MM filling the screen with budda budda budda, or the /sonics/ character obscuring the entire game field.
Rockin the aura would be so much more meaning.
DAMN it Devs! Why must you always penalize villains! You know that villains have access to fewer sounds than heroes, why must you shove it in our faces by forcing us to see a visual representation of how we're getting screwed again on redside! 
(qr)
I'm starting to wonder if some of these people are REALLY falling for it, or just putting on a show... ...ah well, I got my laugh before work... wonder if I should call in sick but show up anyway?
/em popcorn
I was thinking 'ok, a bit odd but it could be fun...' then on the last paragraph I realized what day it was. Very slick Devs, good presentation.
I know it's April Fools and all... but I *WANT* it! At least as an option! 
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

O and I know I should post this on the super secret pre-beta boards, but while I'm here:
The thousands of little twip effects while running quills is killer on any video card, especially if running talsorian spines.

You think that's bad, imagine Grandville now!!! The lag from the geometry is bad enough... but consider how many atmospheric sounds are in that place! My computer will FREEZE the moment I get close to a TV, and my screen fills up with visual sound effects!
I love how people are still falling for it. Gold. Sheer gold.
I call shenanigans!

I know the feeling, I hate runners with a passion. I usually only PvP when I can get an organized fight of some sort, since people run like pansies in PvP zones.
Sure we have time for jokes and weddings, but no time to fix the CoP trial... surprised? Not at all.
Grade: F-
I know it's a joke, but I'd love for this to be implemented...we need a more comic book feel to the game, and this would fit perfectly!
I will accept no visual sounds unless they appear in brightly colored, pointy starburst shapes!

... I have a hot date today... Didn't realize it was April 1 until this thread.
o_o I now have a sense of anticipation and dread at the same time...
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
[ QUOTE ]
uh... Isn't today some kind of goofy sorta holiday? Trying to remember more details....
[/ QUOTE ]
It is, and hopefully this is a joke.
But hey, just look at Travel Power Suppression, Enhancement Nerfification, Prestige and dropping the ball on the Faultline and Cathedral of Pain Trials.
The Devs have NEVER needed April Fool's Day to do something galactically stupid and call it policy.
The sad truth is, after four years in-game, I have come to believe they will do something smart only AFTER it happens.
So call me gullible, but the safest course of action when you see something absurd like this is to assume some clown at the Head Office actually does think it's a good idea.
"Hey, I know! Let's make everyone slow to a crawl for four full seconds after any action! That'll make long animations (like Assassin Strike, as it turned out) really overpowered and short animations almost useless and slam the brakes on what up to now has been a dynamic, free-flowing game! Woo hoo, we Devs like this idera!"
Direct Quote from an Admin after massive amounts of customers complained and many cancelled their accounts over this bonehead move: "The Devs like the way it (Travel Power Suppression) works and there are no plans to change it."
So, never mind the PLAYERS, the customers who PAY to keep the game running, who cares what they want? The DEVS are happy. Oh, lucky us to be their Beta-Test slaves.
I will only believe they aren't screwing up the game with this latest nonsense when they actually don't do it.
Whatever the Devs announce on one day out of the year means nothing to me, because I have seen four years of them acting like Fools each of the other 364 (365 in Leap Years).
