I'm telling you, my leading theory is UT was either denied a job by the group of developers he hates so much or was fired by them. There is just no way the zealous hate he shows for them is purely from making bad/rushed video games.

I will try to stream this game tomorrow night if anyone is interested. Only been in the stress test so it will probably be pretty boring as I figure stuff out. Also I will need to cover up my chat area so I don't get banned or anything silly assuming it is still under NDA.

It has your email address covering your entire screen. It's not intrusive, but it's there.

/\ Thank God someone gets it.



Now try something a bit more recent.

Congratulations, Funcom. - The Secret World Forums
Ut, we generally agree, but you are wrong on this one. TSW was an unmitigated disaster for Funcom.

The MMOs are "cash flow positive" because they gutted the entire company and went from 2 live teams and very large development down to one small live team for all 3 games. If you just look at it on a current month-to-month basis then they are making money yes, but TSW will likely never make the money it cost back in any reasonable time-frame.

/\/\ Gotchya. You would know better than I in that regard. Was looking at a press statement that time around.

That seems like a rather narrow view of if the game is good or not.

Lots of variables in an MMO, a lot that can go wrong.
You are speaking with Blackwulf. Our resident Shill.

Khalid if you stream it you will have your beta revoked and if you have real information in the beta form for this stress test, they will revoke any and all access to anything you have prior or current. Can't have people actually knowing what the game is like.

Cinge, I have lived in MN my entire life you fucking twit.

Nah, I just loved DAOC. If cyrodiil brings back that feeling, it's all I would need. That doesn't mean it would be a great mmo for other people's tastes.

So, people start calling you out on your batshit crazy ranting, and your response is to try the old shill card again. Cool strategy.

Please, let us know which of these industry giants you work for, so we can better understand why you should be heading up these projects instead of Sage and Firor:

gamedevmap

Or are you just so good that East & west coast based companies let you mail it in from home?

By the way, there are Activision/Blizzard offices in Eagan MN... idiot.

No. I would rather call you out though on your "If it's anything like DAOC RvR it's all good with me". I would like to know how you say this when you have already fucking played it.... So you already know it's not. So what is the purpose of that post? You also write for the fan site here, want the hits bnecvause I know what the pay structure will be like when you get hits, and you have avested interest in not pissing off anyone over at Zenimax Online so you can get more access. In other words, you are a shill. A shill with special interests. Possibly even worse.

So let me get this straight... You absolutely rail against people who do work in the industry and claim to have insider info at every turn... And now your defense is 'jokes on you! I don't even have development experience!'.

Brilliant.

Btw is it just a coincidence that the definition of 'Utnayan' in Hindi is 'development'? (Specifically fetal brain development if I was told correctly by my brown homeboy)

I didn't say I don't have development experience. I said I don't work in the industry.

And that's "UtHAYAN" for the Hindi reference you illiterate Canucks fan. To settle the mystery, I got the name from a random name generator in EQ when I was making a Dark elf Necromancer in 1999. Before that I was known as "The guy that Canadians fear due to an ability to process numbers in written form"

I don't even know what it is. A huddle of some sort? Looks like a bunch of people from the Yanomamo tribe getting ready to call a huddle break for a slant route.

Well, at least you are admitting smelling crack fumes. No wonder why you are slow on the uptake.

That is a fucking sales office, idiot.

They do have a studio in Eden Prairie though... But if you are claiming to work for Acti/Blizz I may just have to find a new pair of pants, because I'm gonna shit my current ones from laughing so hard.

And Eden Prairie is the studio.

Did you drink the poisoned Elsinor beer this year again at Octoberfest?

I'll deal with your Canadian pucker-butt later. I need to go deal with some traffic. It snowed for 4 seconds.

There's nothing to deal with. You've already destroyed any bit of credibility you had in your critiques of Sage & Firor by admitting that you don't even work in the industry, and if you did at any point, it was at some small time MN studio.

Haters gonna hate.

It was actually pretty close to the feeling I want, but I'm not going to let you bait me into busting the NDA wide open.

PS - I resigned from TESO Junkies a couple weeks ago. My life is pretty busy, and the time I have to devote to gaming, I'd rather be actually gaming or busting some nerd's balls on game forums; I know I'm insane. I think Draegan deserves someone in that position who will really put in some effort.
