Chris Metzen: "Yeah, Alex, what's up with that!?". Red Shirt Guy: "No, he survived, and in fact was the leader of Aerie Peak from vanilla WoW and through Wrath Of the Lich King.". Chris Metzen: "Isn't Falstad dead? From, ah, Day Of The Dragon? No?". Red Shirt Guy: "Hello, I have just finished reading The Shattering yesterday, and I noticed something, it said that Falstad Wildhammer was going to be on the Council of Three Hammers, but in the beta it's Kurdran Wildhammer and Falstad isn't in the game at all. The questioner is incredibly nervous and speaks stiltedly however after correcting and even educating the developers on the issue, he has become a fan favorite. It may be that Blizzard felt it inappropriate to go all out on the jokes this year, especially after recently making 800 people redundant.Red Shirt Guy (also "Red Shirt Kid") refers to a player at BlizzCon 2010 who, during the Lore & Quests Q&A session, correctly pointed out an issue in the story of the game. While the patch notes are amusing, they’re a far cry from Crabby The Dungeon Helper, who invaded the official forums over the course of several years, offering “helpful advice” like Microsoft Office's Clippy. Meanwhile, in World of Warcraft, a set of fictitious patch notes were released including details of Findr, a new dungeon matching app based on Tinder. 
This joke has been around since 2017 so while some find it amusing, it certainly isn’t new.
Overwatch fans saw the return of the Reinhardt prank, which puts Reinhardt players' messages in "all caps" and follows them with random quotes from the character. The only jokes in evidence were in Overwatch and World of Warcraft. Instead of elaborate jokes, spanning several franchises, they have kept things very low key. In the past Blizzard has pulled off some spectacular April Fools Day pranks, but this year they have been very quiet.
