Who is the all-time best EQ2 "dev type person"?

LFG · 10-31-2006, 10:00 PM

Yes, this is a straight popularity contest. Pick your favorite, or the person you think was most influential, or did the best work for EQ2.

It's a really, really hard decision for me. I guess my top favorites are Owlchick (smartest and cutest woman in the industry!), Frizznik (unbelievable talent, was a tremendous loss to this game when they yanked him out of tradeskills into another project), Saavedra (just a super dude all the way around), and Moorgard (I have tremendous respect for him).

I'm listing as many as I can think of, no disrespect to anyone I've left out.

Feel free to vote and say anything you want below.

dymus whos comments reassure me that there are poeple on dev team who grasp everything that is wrong about the game and gave me faith to not cancel my account

There are three people on this list who get a resounding FUCK NO. But I don't yet have the heart to call them out in the open.

That said, Illucide lost some brownie points when he didn't fix the PoS dagger proc to work on non-epics.

QFT. The times I've gotten to talk to Dymus about game concerns I've been totally impressed. A good example: Tradeskill Writs were not on the table when they were removed, they were put off 'cause Beghn was working in EoF (Dymus is Beghn's boss). Dymus listened, and pretty much did the whole new TS writ system as his own project to get it out to us.

Glendral, with Saav a close second, and BG in 3rd.

Too many I love to pieces.

Glendral and Saav (omg SPOTS), BG, MG, Lotus, Owlchick...

So, I flipped a coin a few times and went with MG.

But all the devs I've met have been awesome and generally spiffy.

My fave three are:

MG, Lotus and Saav. Although Dymus and Gallenite are up there also.

Kiara · 11-01-2006, 11:59 AM

Seriously... who DOESN'T love Saav?

Frizz! Oh and die beghn die

*hugs*

I voted Frizznik because his post over a year ago on Tradeskills is the only reason I kept with it and EQ2.Dymus is a close second though because all his posts show he's paying attention even if it's abit reactionary. Really though, I like the whole dev team as they seem more than willing to lose face to make needed changes-even if they piss folks off. Though, I will say Lockeye made some posts that make me scratch my skull like when necros got snare in LU13 testing and he posted we shouldn't have it and when he made a comment about necro stuns being faster and lasting longer when at the time they didn't...actually add Beghn to that list too for resists on crafted gear and saying food was more popular than drink.
