So Sev is giving up his gig as LOTRO producer? 

Also, interesting that daybreak is advertising the job.  SSG is looking less independent by the day.

Indeed.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Sev is executive producer. I read it as being more like Coco on the LOTRO side.

I fucking wish. That no-talent hack is the MMO equivalent of Cancer: He makes everything worse, is near impossible to get rid of, and the process of removing it often requires such bad shit that it kills the host.

On a more shallow level... his face is the kind of face that would only be safe in the pussy world of programming. Motherfucker's face practically begs to be punched repeatedly, and the way he speaks would surely incite a stabbing.

Side note : there's also other job offer ( for temp jobs though ) for SSG :

https://www.daybreakgames.com/careers?job=4818288002

https://www.daybreakgames.com/careers?job=4818263002


The first one is interesting as it contains the following duty :

Code archeologist: discover why the games do what they do to answer questions for other departments in the company. This includes the leadership, game developers, customer service and operations.

They need somebody to deal with the Spaggheti Code containedc in LoTRO.

There's also that interesting bit of information :

Postgres

so there's some Posgres SQL involved... ( in LoTRO )

This gave me a chuckle.



Postgres ... surprised they're that advanced.  Feels more like a room full of punch card machines and monkeys.

As expected, an infraction was given.

It's the only conversation I can get from Jerry.

And now the prick is deleting legitimate posts.  I can take an infraction on the chin but removing posts that normally wouldn't be removed.

ffs.

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Exactly.  I complained against a post Arkat made a while ago which totally aligned with something I said much further back.  My thread got shut down and deleted so by complaining I wanted to see if the result would be the same.  Nope.

No its usually a complaint about the job from my understanding.  Having on the job posting sets off all kinds of warning bells in my head.  I'd be interested if anyone else with more dev experience than me reads this as a huge warning sign to run away from the job posting.

My take on it is that it's ok,  you need to double my salary for me to contemplate that job.

I heard from a guildie that he has a fucking meltdown if you reply to one of his posts with "ok boomer"  Not sure if they were goading me to get a sock banned or not.  I didn't decide to "play".

You are 100% spot on.  And I would say our combined experience equates to an intimate understanding of what they're asking for.

They have 2 niche MMOs being mismanaged into the ground, and no capacity to create new games. So, who wants to take a job for low pay and a very uncertain future?

Answer: nobody with the expertise to do the job correctly.


The irony of course is that any random player with a fairly basic capacity of coding and a very deep knowledge of game mechanics could probably figure most of it out. Remember: people reverse-engineer MMOs all the time.
