He thinks blizzard made a mistake announcing a goblin hero, he wants a troll hero! I wish blizzard would hurry up and announce the status of these two "april fools jokes". (They may be real or fake, who cares? not me)

Alright they stated...

Tinker = fake
Ogre = fake (though not for long, we already have or own rebellion tread :8 )
0,99999~=1 = fake

All fake... i thought it was april's fools, though i found none of these funny, did you?

It is kind of lame that the only good idea blizzard ever had where april fools, such a thing like adding more neutral heroes with patches would be really cool. bah

But I have proof for the exact opposite thing!
.999...
+.000...1
---------
1.0

if

.999... = 1 THEN

.000...1 = 0
BECAUSE

1+0=1.

THUS

.000...1 *5 = .000...5 = 0.
.000...1*40 = .000...40 = 0.
.000...1+.000...1 = .000...2 = 0!!

Quite an interesting number.
[/OFFTOPIC]

Anyway i noticed an interesting thing. All of the tinker's spells are just old spells from wc3. For instance, one of his skills is a gear. It looks exactly the same as

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNEngineeringUpgrade.blp (Engineering Upgrade)

As does his rocket spell look exactly the same as Cluster Rockets.

I guess bliz just felt lazy.

As for the number thing, cool. And we already know about the icon thing, cookie said that.

I still don't quite understand the joy of two players in one body anyway. What if one guy just quits World of Warcraft? Would you be doomed to run around lopsided in a "semi-consious" state until the end of you're days?

And sticking two characters into one body would create some interesting balance issues.

I wish I could see the Tinker April Fools' joke! But since I can't, oh well . . .

Actually... the more accurate proof is in my sig... You have to use the function for .9999... because that is how it would look on a graph.

and you have to solve it with logarithms... but for all practical purposes... anything beyond pico (10^-11) is insignificant to normal people's purposes.

And sadly... yes, they were jokes... althought it would be nice to have that model.
