SERIOUSLY guys?

I ususally love your week end buffs. Funny, sometimes even helpful! But the bZZZZZZZZZzzz - replacing all icons with bees?!?
This might be funny in the game, as one is used to where everything is placed. But not yet seriously addict players wont have a chance....
On top of that, chosing the parties for missions has become almost impossible, or rather random, thus negating the idea of actually "thinking" ......

Ranting over!
greetings BIG

i agree, except for the "might be funny" part because it isnt funny at all. just steering away new people.... (unless they play on mobile where everything is still normal)

Hilarious? April Fool's things are supposed to be funny, not annoying. And this thing is REALLY annoying, plus it makes certain aspects of the game almost unplayable (hard missions, for example). Personally, I'm not gonna play anymore until things go back to normal... which will be a couple of days from now, because of course the devs had to do this kind of crap during the weekend, so it will last until Monday, not just for a day.

An April fools joke is supposed to make people laugh. What this does is annoy people who have been playing for a while, and makes the game unplayable for people who are still new.

Another program I use was demanding a $1800 for a one year license. Google help me find that they did this addition of slooflirpa 5 years ago. It did screw up my macro as some lines look at names and names of programs. I guess I will have to rewrite the parts I had to change. Best part was is the BzzZZzz kept changing length and position.

+1 on an awesome slooflirpa!!!!!!!!!!!

You can deactivate it by changing your date on your device (to the 2nd or whatever) and refresh the game after that. Once the game is running you can change the date back to the 1st.

Not the best solution, but it helps and it's only one day.

Thank you Buetel! It worked awesome on both programs.

For the windows newbs. .

1. select windows icons (lower left)
2. select gear (above the lower left)
3. search for the word "time" in the search box
4. select date and time settings
5. turn off automatic updates
6. select the "change box"
7. select the day "2" and hit "Change"
8. close everything and reopen it.

This also hints towards the question if this game destroying and player killing prank would be corrected before monday...

Since it is apparently triggered by your own computer settings, it should end tomorrow if you reload the game after midnight.

I hate all this buzzing about! And no, I'm not talking about these posts. These posts are the only buzzing I like at the moment, as I DESPISE this game's "B game."

Check my "Codename pulling the plug..." threads, submitted under all three applicable categories. I'm glad to see other fellow players are as upset as I am!

KEEP GETTING THE WORD AROUND, it needs to hit the Devs!!!
Frankly, unlike my posts, I'm surprised some thread tool hasn't chimed in bashing this post and issuing warnings that this is a "repeat topic thread" (oops, seeing as I'm the first to make this observation, I guess that makes me the tool) At least I get to steal the thunder.

Buzz!!! (just making sure it's still annoying.... yup!)

P.S. As annoying as getting my posts bashed is, I will persist until all us annoyed players (and posters) know for a fact that our voices are heard.

Thank you for the feedback.

It was an April Fool's joke, based on your computer's local time, so you could have set your clock to April 2nd to continue playing easier.

We'll definitely put more planning into next year's April Fool's item.

Bug your computer to unbug your game?
No thank you!
I have an appointment today at 3PM; I will be on time, thanks to my working computer and phone.
I am, however, about a day behind my crusading. I know that because my devices are on the correct date and time.

Gug, let it be (no pun intended), mate. It is pretty obvious for everyone you didn't like the joke. You're not playing against anyone and if this caused you so much trouble, there might be other things to worry than an idle game in beta status.

Cheers!
