You know there is a stickied thread for this kind of thing with lots of such discussion, right?

Hilarity Ensues may be the best power name I have ever heard.
What? No. Screw the "may be" part. Best freakin' power name ever.
Positron! Get over it and make this a reality!*

Thanks. I actually started the powerset off with that specific name as an idea.|

It was originally intended to be the name for the level 18 power, but I was told it worked better as the level 32 power.

It's just a shame there's no space in the set for a 'Go On, Smell My Flower' power. Also, I'd go for Fear over Sleep for the second Prankster. In fact, all clowns should cause Fear.

I took that as an obvious joke. The real reason may be that clowns are much lower priority than like 10 other possible sets.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
I'm pretty sure the real season is the devs don't like "gag" powers too much. This is why we can't have "imaginary" weapons (no model), custom models that don't "reasonably" match the damage type, and certain colors are locked out from customization on some sets.

CLOWNS (Mastermind) - You can summon an army of clowns and pranksters to overwhelm your enemies. Though they may seem joyful and harmless at first, their viciousness in battle belies their bright makeup and colourful clothing. Clowns are naturally very resistant to mez effects and have high hit points, but have little resist and defense. 1: Cream Pie - Ranged, Minor DMG(Smashing), Foe -To Hit, -Perception, 80 feet You toss a cream pie at the face of a single enemy, dealing Smashing damage and blinding them. Damage: Minor, Recharge: Fast (4 seconds) 1: Summon Charlatans - Summon 1-3 Charlatans Summons one to three Charlatans to cause mischief and havoc. Your first Prankster is obtained at level 1, the second at level 6, and the third at level 18. Charlatans have fast attacks that can be upgraded to slower, more powerful attacks, and have the ability to reduce your enemies' Resistance to further attacks. 2: Joy Buzzer - Melee, Moderate DMG(Energy), Foe Hold You reach out and shake the hand of one of your enemies, activating your electrified Joy Buzzer. They are left writhing in agony as the electricity discharges into them. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Moderate (8 seconds) 6: Party Favors - Ranged, Equip Clowns You equip your Clowns with various Party Favours, giving them a couple extra abilities to entertain your opponents. 8: Exploding Cigar - Targeted AoE (10 feet, 8 targets), Moderate DMG(Smashing/Fire), Foe KD, 80 feet You light an exploding cigar and toss it to an enemy. Upon impact, it explodes violently, damaging all enemies in a small radius around the poor sap and knocking them down. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Slow (12 seconds) 12: Summon Pranksters - Summon 1-2 Pranksters You can call one or two Pranksters to your side. Pranksters don't do as much damage as Charlatans or Harlequins, but they are excellent at controlling your enemies. The first Prankster will Immobilize and Disorient your foes, and the second Prankster will Hold them and put them to Sleep. 18: Carnival of Carnage - Summon 10 Clowns The Carnival has come to town. A merry band of ten jokesters, jesters and funmakers will rush to your aid, assailing your enemies with cream pies and various bludgeoning instruments. You cannot control them directly, but they will stick with you for a few minutes before leaving to go entertain elsewhere. Recharge: Very Slow (10 minutes) 26: Summon Harlequin - Summon 1 Harlequin You summon a single Harlequin to annihilate all that stand against you. The Harlequin's small size and stature belies her incredible offensive power. Like all other Clowns, she has low resist, but high hitpoints and massive damage output. 32: Hilarity Ensues - Ranged, Upgrade Clowns Hilarity Ensues as all your clowns are empowered with even more abilities to amuse (and possibly obliterate) your enemies. |

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I wish that was true, but my feeling and understanding is that it is exactly as I made it sound. They joke about it now, but clown sets were a regular request for a while until it was unequivocally squashed.

I approve of this set and the names the powers have been given.
Good show.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Yeah, a lot of people like the "Hilarity Ensues" power name.

Oh, and I like the suggestion provided that the clowns look like this because we all know that clowns are evil.
