	Well after a night being ( almost ) awake to supervise the replacement of a card that failed on a backbone router... I have a few hamsters still in frenzy mode in my brain. So The QA Kobold jumped the DDO Sinking ship... Lets speculate on who he is naming in the post below : majmalphunktion wrote on Jun 18^th, 2014 at 9:35pm: There is another producer, I have no idea what name he uses on the forums, but he will be fine, but probably far more behind the scenes. We have all worked very closely together for a long time, and he is green as a producer, but his head is in the right place, and his background as a coder is only going to help. He knows the bad places to stay away from. He knows scope. He is kind of an asshole about it...in a good way. I don't think I have a name for him... I'm going to make a WAG... Steelstar majmalphunktion wrote on Jun 18^th, 2014 at 9:35pm: There is a new development director/manager whatever, who is a very smart guy. He has spent a bunch of time talking with the PC, I'm not sure if he talks on the main forums yet. The direction I talked about , character, loot exc...is something he wholeheartedly believes in. I'm kind of bummed I don't get to work with him. For me that sounds like Severlin. Anybody else wants to speculate ?

	Do they have a vogon division to pull talent from? 'Cause based on his final message that's what I'd expect.

	I can't help but feel a strong apathy. I thought it was awesome that Majmal was going to be part of the ddo production team.. and then he left us high and dry.. and I feel like it really is a sinking ship. All the cool ingredients they're throwing at us to make the future seem brighter, are just meh, because of the lack of follow through and proper execution. More cooks do not make a better soup, they make a bigger mess, and bringing in less experienced ppl without the knowledge about follow through. Well we see what happened with U22, and I bet you we will be seeing more of this if we can't get anyone to take responsibility. I mean, I have seen it so many times, ppl have great vision, just do not know how to execute things well. Vision means nothing, if it's not executed well. To me U22 was a big let down. It sounded so cool when the thoughts and plans were laid down, but seeing the final product has be wondering, why bother at all?

	Yeah, Thaz, I agree with you. I'd love to hear who the new people are and player stories about how great they are, but on maj's word I just don't feel it. Maybe time will bring a different perspective, but right now it feels like the only thing Maj actually proved he was good at was telling us what we wanted to hear.

	Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

That's not always the case... you can smell a sinking ship too and go the rat way... I know I did it 3 years ago, and I'm definitely happy to have taken the Rat Path out of the sinking ship. ( despite the drawback of being on call on the new stuff [ I was on call on the old one too, but we were called 4 times a year at worst... so it was all benefit and almost no nuisance... the new one... when you're on call you have 70% chance [at least] to be called ] )

	that Turbine called today with a job offer for the Live Producer role. No, not for me. (Even Turbine is smart enough to realize that I would never work for them.) They offered the job to my dog Sparky. Oddly enough, Sparky is qualified to perform all the duties of the role, save for one. Due to his untimely death when I was 9 years old, Sparky would be unable to troll the Vault for exploits, offering up vague promises of QoL improvements in return. Turbine took the news as well as could be expected, and vowed to continue down their list of qualified candidates until the position is filled. Courage.

	LoL...how cliche can you get? May as well change ur avatar to DoTA something. And as for game recommendations...Dragon Nest is still hella fun if you can endure the anime-style graphix and the legions of leetspeaking children who've recently discovered curse words. On second thought, maybe SWTOR ain't a bad choice after all.

I like the storylines so far, its like playing kotor 3 (that of course, like almost all 3rd part of most game series, is worse than 1 and 2). But... f2p restrictions are retarded. seriously. Want to high quality equip items? pay $30. Want to raid? 3 instances per week, unlock unlimited weekly instances for $2 per week. Its so fucking retarded, f2p is also a sub, because you don't unlock contend, you unlock weekly content acces. So fucked up. After playing jedi knight series, I can say that swtor combat sucks hard. Its too slow, too static, and lightsabers are not lethal enough. Chacater customization is standard 3 class trees that are beign spread like a deadly virus through MMOs.

Repeating the same fedex/kill 10 Mob over and over... Even going Empire didn't keep me up... I know I should refresh the game and try to log...but I can't be arsed I have enough to do between Civ, DDO and Real Life.

There was never any hope. you must be forgetting that time he said that they catch all bugs, they just didnt get prioritized by those who made decisions at the time as important it wasn't his job to fix them it was his job to find them the developers make the game not the QA team

The devs that have regularly interacted with the PC are Severlin, Vargouille, Cordovan and Steelstar. All the other ones have interacted less than those 4.
