Yes, they gave up. They certainly didn't do any gags this year...

check the main page, the market got new things.
Ah, so that's why. I wasn't patient enough to watch the whole market slideshow.
Cute, but I have to give it a C for effort, unless there really IS a clown summoning powerset in the market today...
I liked the vanity pet, its my kind of humor.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Thanks, I guess I needed to be hit over the head with a cartoon mallet to click through. :-p
I rescind my previous grade.(I also laughed at the vanity pet.)
The Custom Powerset is around $9300, might be wor-
Wait a minute. Over 9000? God.

Now it makes sense.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
So if 200 people donate 50$ each, does that mean that in 8 months we'll see a brand new Ranged/Armor AT in the Paragon Store?

The sad part is, if I had the 9000 dollars, Id love to get the dream AT I want and would be disappointed that they were joking

Now see, if this thread had been a deliberate April Fool's joke, this would have been the proper way to execute it... unlike a certain other thread that... just didn't make sense.

If only that were true; that and Clown Summoning. And the bee bark. But unfortunately I'm sure it costs way more than that to make a new AT. That's what, 2 people full time for a month if they work really cheap? (There's employee overhead in addition to salaries, and I'd hope dev jobs pay a whole lot better than $30k, so it's probably fewer people or less time. Not enough to get the job done.)|

Curious... Some friends and I ran an ITF tonight... and I noticed something fairly odd. I was just wondering if it was part of April Fools or if it was a glitch. It if was a glitch it's the first I've ever heard of it.
We were on the first mission. We got outside and up to the final part of it... and someone triggered the ambush of Nictus. Here's where it gets weird: There was an EB called 'Romulus Augustus Nictus' in the mob. Yeah...
I should have though to catch a screeny of it, but this was a speed run and by the time I saw him everyone was out and ready to move on.

The only problem is....bricks are not always red. Though they ARE always bad for your teeth, either via impact or attempted chewing.

I don't know. I thought the discontinuation of German and French localisation support was a pretty good April Fool's gag.

The funny thing is that I had to look at the March 30 datestamp to ultimately convince myself that it was NOT an april fool gag. It seemed really unbelievable on first read.

An ITF team I was on got this bug a week ago. There was a Kheldian player on our team and I suppose the "Romulus Ausgustus Nictus" appearances were supposed to be the Void Hunters for him. They kept popping up with 3-4 per mission. It was pretty hilarious, especially when one surprised us as we were clearing the plaza. |

"Whoa! Who aggroed Rommy?!" "Oh, it's just the wannabe." This bug probably came with the most recent patch. I don't recall hearing about it before it.

The sad part is, it's not. $7,800 worth of $100 point purchases nets you 748,800 pts. Add in another $15 purchase for a total of $7,815 and 750,120 points.

I love that Rommy bug. In fact, I need to start an ITF with my War Shade to see if I can do it on purpose. But the one I was on where we got the bug, one of them spawned in the ambush that appears right after you zone in to the final mission. I loved the idea that Rommy was trying to jump us right at the start -- no more of this AV waiting at the end of the mission for you! Here I come!
