We would only hope they did.....I'd take a cotton swab over nothing. Bonking soldiers over the head sure beats flipping coins. Unfortunately I was being facetious.....

If this is the best they can do we are all out $79.99 this year.
(ie stupid joke in a blog outside the real game)
Every other game I play has at least one new quest today.
This is really kinda sad.

Well......the time they spent typing that up and posting to the web could have been better spent elsewhere. I thought we'd have a mini-quest or something new today. Looks like the joke is on us.....literally.

I appreciate that potco has a sense of humor, plus if they hadn't done an April Fool's Joke everyone on the forum would have been moaning "Why didn't they do an April Fool's joke?"

I'm also pretty sure the guys working on the site aren't also developing the game. Plus, they've already said that game performance is what they're working on now - why we'll see a new Padres any day now (it looks awesome on test btw).

New content is next (an Inventory system, I think). A better inventory system means more items - and hopefully new story quest tied to those items.

Give them a break people, it's April Fool's day - it's in good fun, not meant to offend anyone wanting new content. Plus, how often do you see Disney try and do something unique like this that pokes a little fun at themselves? Never. I want content as much as the next person (it's why I pay for the game) but the thought behind the joke (and the joke) is appreciated - and funny!

I finally got me cannon swab! The quest took forever but I love the looks!

april fools?

[swashbuckler II]

wow, the cannon swab is so awesome, and has many skills,

Combo skills:
Bonk, Bash, stab, and twist

Usable skills:
Tickle, Super bonk, and clean

Passive: Clean (increases pistol, cannon, grenade attack by 25 for every skill point made in a slot)
Cannon wax (increases defence by 10%)

I like this weapon because, Not many people have it, its a very long quest. after about 10 min, only 1% done, some tasks require the level 40+ ships. Another part of the quest needed sea monsters, so I went wandering off, and davy jones crew counted as sea monsters. The level cap for the weapon is 20, and I dont recomend the swab for combat. Its wierd how fast it reloads a cannon though. Anyway, overall, this is a good update, Way to go disney!
Edit: The tips of the swab matches your hair color, so mine is green =P

I never said it wasn't funny.....but I do think they could have added a mini quest or event as other online games do. Or even some type of joke in the game itself. Come much would it have taken to have an NPC say something off the wall and then say "April Fools!".....no matter as tomorrow this is all history.
