Well poo, right after I crafed full epic sets for repeat lives on same build but felt too lazy to bother with slavers.

Still nice though.

Ran with her a bunch when she was on G-Land.   Can't say anything about the rest of the devs but she actually plays the game.

He did post videos at one point.  It was enlightening, and very, very depressing.


Bigjunk wrote on Aug 9^th, 2019 at 1:46pm:

Yes, he plays, albeit, poorly.  As supporting evidence, this was the entirety of his hotbar setup for running a monk.



Consider that for a minute, then additionally consider that Lynn is generally reputed to be one of the more knowledgeable devs regarding actual in-game play.

Remember this next time you or anyone else tries to suggest that the devs know more than 0 about how their game actually works in-game.


And just in case you thought that was a fluke, here are the entirety of his hotbars for rogue and ranger, too:

Those hotbars aren't that bad.  Its not like a dev needs clickies or anything.  They run in god mode.

It's called the hardcore server.

Aww... that's cute.  What an excellent, highly intelligent, irrefutable argument.

Oh wait...



Did you really think someone who posted a specifically cropped screenshot of Lynn's gameplay videos to illustrate a specific point wouldn't have the full screenshot? 

Damn, that's pretty stupid, even for you.  I think you're showing signs of methane-induced oxygen deprivation from having your head up Crippey's ass for too long.

I was simply trying to avoid shitting up this thread with a bunch of full-sized screenshots.  But I'm an obliging sort of fellow so here's one in all it's glory, or extreme lack thereof. 

Yep, there you go.  That's what DDO's supposedly most in-game knowledgeable dev thinks is a an acceptable UI setup.

Yeah, as they limp away from a failed attempt to defend a moronic decision. The reduction was to distract from the fact that the argument for permanent ransack on optional XP was that repetition drove people from the game, and the OP pointed out that repetition of the same 3 quests was the whole point of Slavers.

And it's not that great a reduction, anyway, she just shifted the gating from the unbound mats, which created a decent shard revenue, to bound mats. The reduction in overall mats sounds big, but the reduction in the number of runs won't be that much, only now you can't buy relief.

I used to respect Lynnabel, but she traded her integrity for the opportunity to give rim jobs to Rock Stars. She fits right in now, giving the players bullshit excuses with a straight face.

Lynnabel, if you ever read this, I've got two pieces of advice for you. First, if ever have to feed the corporate line to the players and you don't honestly believe it, make sure you phrase it so we know it's not coming from you. When you say "I" when telling a lie, *your* reputation suffers.

Second, regularly take a good hard look at yourself, if a toxic environment is poisoning your soul or making you cynical, find a new job. There are a lot of good developer jobs available, you aren't being true to yourself if you stick with a job that's turning you into someone you wouldn't respect. It's hard to make the change, but it's worth it in the long run.

It appears that Digi is suggesting that Lynn wants to be gender identified as male, totally fine with me, in this case, I have not gotten that information so I have no idea, but the idea does not seem that unreasonable given how Lynn presents, in terms of clothing choices, hair style, etc...  Although, the way Digi presented things is purposely vague and combative..

Yes.  And yes, it's the Vault, vague and combatative is SOP.

If only this was the case, but no, that's all there is to the story.  Already covered that with this part of my original post on this:
Digimonk wrote on Aug 10^th, 2019 at 8:40pm:


Back in the day, he had a lot of videos posted and that was pretty much his standard UI setup.  To add to it, even with just 2-3 hotbars, he mouse-clicked a lot of them. 

So yeah, Lynn is generally considered the most well-versed dev on actual in-game play and that's how he plays DDO.  Remember that anytime someone says Lynn knows what he's doing in-game.  He probably is better than the other devs, but that bar is so low that it doesn't really mean much.

You can call her whatever pronoun you want, id still stick it in her pussy for the luls.
