Title: April fool's event - Daimon!
Post by: Zakilevo on March 31, 2014, 05:57:05 AM
Damn it. I can't create it. Well I can but can't play it due to having too many characters already. What a shame :(

I've created one. :D

Can you do anything?

I did that Netherstep or whatever the teleportation ability is called, although it seems a bit random. Teleported me five regions in a random direction rather than where I wanted to go.

Dont fall for it :)  All it seems to do is create an adventurer without any new options..

If you read the abilities screen, it says you start with no abilities but gain one each day. I created my daimon about five minutes before turn change, so gained Netherstep after that.

Well I just came really close to pausing one of my characters to go BS with a daimon for however long we would get to.

I created one. Don't have abilities yet though.

It is fun to become Daimon for once... But then I found I have reached my character limit and I cannot play Daimon unless I delete one of my existing active characters. There is no Play button for my active characters till I schedule my Daimon character for deletion, too bad :(

I can't help thinking it's a daft idea to create an april fool's joke on march 31st.  Because March 31st simply isn't April 1st so even if they reveal the joke then it has no validity to me.  An april fool's joke has to be done on April 1st or it simply doesn't count.  Not to mention having people pause other characters in order to create a daimon would be a frustrating exercise in futility that messes things up for a lot of realms if this isn't for real.

I really hope it isn't just a joke that leaves people with a bunch of adventurers because that's a sure fire way to aggravate people who paused otherwise useful characters, lost units, lost positions, for nothing.

Well We've been getting jokes early for awhile. Like a day or two early. They usually end by the end of April 1st though.

+1, one realm I am in already lost a lord due to this.
I also had to pause one char, no warning at all that the fake daimon counts as normal char spot.
Seriously, after the glacier thing, raising the popularity of the game (and the dev team) surely does not work this way...

If this is a joke, I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Honestly, I think this is a joke, but if it is real... Wonderful!!!

This game needs desperately anything who can make it more funny and varied... If this is real, it's a step in the right direction. If not, I hope they make it real.  ;D

Moved this topic to a private board temporarily, so that we don't just spoil absolutely everyone on the forum.

C'mon, guys. It's April Fools. Give other people a chance to experience it, don't ruin it for everyone just to prove that you were smart enough to figure it out.

Please fix it so that we can pause the characters that we just created. I can't play the game now because I can't pause my demon/advy.

Ah wait, i can just delete him.

Post by: Thehatter on April 01, 2014, 11:35:59 PM
Also did any of the abilities even work?
Title: Re: April fool's event - Daimon!
Post by: OFaolain on April 02, 2014, 12:20:06 AM
Can I have the flavor text back to remind me that my character believes that he is a daimon?  That should be quite fun if daimons ever come back on Beluaterra.
Title: Re: April fool's event - Daimon!
Post by: Ossan on April 02, 2014, 12:46:22 AM
Huh, I didn't even see anything about being able to create a daimon :/
Title: Re: April fool's event - Daimon!
Post by: Daycryn on April 02, 2014, 01:31:03 AM
The REAL April fool's joke is that some of the Daimons actually are totally real Daimons.

It was probably April first somewhere in the Pacific.

Maybe you can put this in a "to do" list Tim.

We would love to be able to create Daimons, and we don't even need that much options.

Post by: Daycryn on April 02, 2014, 03:36:31 AM
Every April Fool's joke Tom plays winds up being a really interesting idea. I think the Courtier class started off as one, didn't it?

But yeah, the Daimon thing, I would venture to guess, is not ever going to happen.

Something that could actually be really interesting, to have a player-run Beluaterra invasion where the daimons are actually a player realm.

What's to prevent you from creating a character now and playing it as a daimon in disguise? Sure, no special powers, but if you're consistent, there's no real reason you couldn't.

I can't help thinking it's a daft idea to create an april fool's joke on march 31st.

The real joke was that we were honest about it being just a human with normal human adventurer abilities on march 31st. It was on April 1st that your daimonic abilities were supposed to kick in - and didn't.

And we've done this before, playing with the date a bit because everyone expects an April Fools on april 1st.

Listen to this while reading: Click (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNvFPKujc5w)

WIll make it simple:

I hate Tom!

Not everyone is focussed on the date, when i saw that Daimon character and the abilities, i spend a whole afternoon looking for a suitable name, reading some background history about medieval daimons, etc. etc. and how i will develop my character.

I saw when i logged i saw i was an adventurer, i told myself "is ok is just an undercover class" but then i waited for next day to see my new powers..........

You guys should not do this, You have ruined my Childhood! (well i think)


ps:i hate you guys!

Good! Otherwise we wouldn't have anyone to fool left. :-)


It's a BattleMaster tradition. With hundreds of players, there is always someone who finds this years joke distasteful, it's part of the game. It's really hard to make something that makes everyone, from around the globe, all the different cultures, etc. happy.

I thought it was a bug/accident. Reminded me of the early Dwilight days when a lot of info on the daimons were unintentionally available.
