Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Can we get a version of the baby-sitting power that works on chat channels and the forums, too?..
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
dogs with bees in their mouths?
what about sharks with fricking lasers mounted on their head

Apparently there are some people out there who SERIOUSLY want this set, and are offended that this was done as an April Fools. Personally I think they need to chill out and learn to take a joke.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

That's what I thought too. Still...really kind of hoping that.

I wonder if this had been legit, if they'd be losing out on the eight grand someone would have paid for clown summoning. hmmm...

Avatea hasn't been with Paragon Studios since December.
You'll have to settle for Dink, Tunnel Rat, War Witch or Doc Delilah if you are insisting on having a female Dev do the babysitting.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

Weird thing is, I would buy the last one in a heartbeat - having the dogs fire bees would be so sick!

So glad April 1st isn't on a Tuesday...

(well played, devs. I especially laughed at the Vanity Pet and the "There's Always One" temp power.)

OMFG ROFLMAS thank-you Dev's for that It was even better then the Psych ma hubby did to me from work calling to say he won part of our Lotto 649 (Canada) & not as Evil as the one I did to my oldest (Cat being sick on her bedroom floor)! Kudos!
Confusion is Lord & Chaos is my Best Friend!! Shall I introduce you??

Gae'Atha- lvl 50 Emp/Ele/Psi Def

All sillyness aside you do need a green check mark or something to appear over the league members list and above the character names showing who has clicked accept and who hasn't. It would also be a nice league ready check that we currently lack.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
You guys seriously suck the way you make fun of clown summoning... Clowns are freaking scary as hell to many people, and add to it there is more then enough president for Clown villains in comics and movies. Clowns have been depicted as murders, bank robbers, terrorists, and general insane Mahayanist. Making fun of this request is just another insult of a legitimate request for this for many years. I say its time to take the mackerel out of the flower pot and slap the perpetrators of this salacious sequality of the joke on our request square in the face.

With $8,000 dollars they could afford to hire someone temporary for 4 months to make a power set as long as it was within the guidelines of other powers.

800 points is what they said was the price in the joke... that is not 8 grand...
The fist time they joked about it was bad enough.... but they did it at least twice...
When you take the time to tell the devs you would like to play this powerset and their reply is to use it as an April Fools joke.... it is like telling ya to F-Off.... If they are not going to make the set... FINE... but quit using it as the APRIL FOOLS JOKE...
Would you not get annoyed if you asked for something and then the only reply you see to it is Here ya go... April Fools....
I TOTALLY love my new forums avatar!!!!
I wonder what brave soul will give the Clown MM a home...
hmmmmmm
hehe

You were posting about all the people who were requesting clown summoning for - I think it was three to four years you said?
So they're listing clown summoning. The power you've repeatedly said was 'requested often.'
They also list the ability to create any power set you want on the next joke entry.
Are you seeing the link between the two yet?

I am not sure if I should reply to the part where you feel cursed out by an April Fool's day joke about clowns with sarcasm or if I should try to treat it seriously.
I'm not saying this as a way of telling you to eff off, or to imply you're a horrible person, or to slap, kick, punch, bully or gag you, but you've got to admit, a topic like clown summoning is perfect fodder for an April Fool's Day prank.

Much of the above was meant with affectionate sarcasm

I posted this elsewhere... but I was told the people I wanted to see this probably would not see it where it was posted so I am posting it here....
I do not get it. I know people who have sent requests in for clown summoning MMs. I think it is in poor taste to take something your customers have been requesting for years... and make a joke out of it.... It would be so much fun!!! If you are not going to make it fine, but do you really have to take our request and use it for April Fools jokes? (We have been asking for this for 3 or 4 years)
