Blizzards Annual April Fool's - Dance Battle Introduced
I'm still catching up to all the amazing internet April Fool's jokes from yesterday, but I have to say, as usual, Blizzard delivered. 'Introduced' this year? The Dance Battle PVP System.
The act of jubilant self-expression through dancing has long been an integral part of World of Warcraft's social interactions. Now it's been taken to a whole new level with the new Dance Battle system, coming to the game in an upcoming content patch. Combining elements of Arena competition with the dynamism and creativity of coordinated, player-controlled dance animations, Dance Battles offer a whole new kind of crew-versus-crew challenge.
Included in the gag were promotional screenshots of the dance-off, hosted by 'Acy Slater' and even a promotional trailer called Warstomp the Yard. My personal favorite is the all-druid dance team 'Droo Crew' doing a pose in animal forms, but that may be because I play a druid. (Go Droo Crew!)
Also introduced for the holiday were the Pimp My Mount system for adding rims, exhausts, and other bling to old mounts. Diabol III gets the Archivist class, who battle foes with dialogue trees, and Starcraft II got the Terra-tron, a huge mechanoid monster for destroying Zerg, made out of the entirety of a Terran base!
