It seems Turbine has given the game over to a small group determined to make the game their private little clubbie.

My impression exactly  Cry

They don't give a shit about the historical Turbine games as long as said games show a profit.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what steaming pile of crap Turdbin dumps on a mobile device. I bet it will make Infinite Crisis look successful.

Does Turdbin have anything but DDO & LOTRO these days? And LOTRO already went through the server merge of death, good luck getting new players now. You'd think they'd take better care of DDO, seeing as it's their last lifeline.
  

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.

It is funny that their site still lists Infinite Crisis as their one of four games (as well as Asheron's Call if it still counts).

I didn't read it as him being worked up or upset at all, the tone and the timing? it all looked like he was trolling for fun and slamming for sport.

If you take a look at his posts since he got on the PC Ash, he has gotten noticeably worse. I am not suggesting that he is being protected by Jerry even, mostly what I see is Nobgobling acting like he 'thinks' he is protected and it having been missed so far. Then again, I doubt FatJerry would like to publicly discipline one of his PC so early.  Urlick has gotten worse the past two weeks as well, It's as though these fucko's have taken their appointment to mean that Turbine accepts and encourages their past behaviors.

PC membership = amplifier.


I've seen the same thing.  some of them act like the kid who got a secret spy decoder ring in a box of cracker jacks and now think they are an integral part of the CIA.  All they want to do is sell more ovaltine (and otto's boxes), numbnuts.

All the devs that were shuffled off DDO and LoTRO to Infinite Crisis when it started... That were pruned with extreme prejudice when it failed majestically.
( we never saw them back when it was Indefinite Closure time for IC )

AC and AC2... That makes 4 games... all of them MMO, all of them with a small but dedicated following.

As for PC membership, remember : on the closed forum Cordovan is not the Tight Arsed Jerry we see... He is more like Strake, it takes a lot to make him to
make a post that people should cool down... ( You don't know the name of the birds flying between PC members when he has to intervene with his delete post button,
I'm more heavy handed in Fairy Farts than Cordovan in the PC Forums )

I'm certain that, for some, it means that they can post the same way on the public side. They are probably going to be reminded that there's two sides... and that on one side the rules are anal retentive.  Roll Eyes
( I'm sure there's already a sticky thread about that in the PC forum with a title like : Gentle Reminder and a content that say in TLDR : while I'm lenient here, it doesn't allows you to break the TOS on the open forum.  )

English is not Flav's first language.  He thinks "facts" are things you think are true.  Not things you have empirical evidence are true.

no, no, facts are fait in Frog. while empirical evidence are Il semble ( it seems that/ it appears that or any variation thereof ).

While not being a native, I have a decent enough grasp of the language spoken by the people at the other side of the Chunnel to be clear when
I talk/write.

I used the term because of the reasons I've given... Turbine shifted many devs to Indefinitely Closed from LoTRO and DDO, leaving both games with a skeleton crew, and a few part timers shared by all the games. ( part timers : as in devoting a bit of their time for a given game when needed... just to make sure everybody understand what I meant )

The above is mostly opinions and conjecture.  The only fact present is:

"Turbine shifted staff to Infinite Crisis."

From that you inferred a skeleton crew was remaining along with a few shared resources (full time employees who split time between multiple games).  Since you didn't know how many they had prior, how many remained, or how many are even needed to run the game, this statement cannot be considered anything close to a fact.

Whether all those employees moved from DDO to Infinite Crisis stayed working on Infinite Crisis, were re-assigned at some point to DDO, were let go, or whatever, is not something that is known to be a fact.  Your assumption is that they never returned.  Because you have seen nothing announcing their return.  But that absence of a public announcement does not represent a fact that they never returned.  You are making inferences from their behavior. 

You are also making the inference that all employees who work on DDO are visible on the forums and, therefore, if you count the forum posting employees you will have an accurate head count for DDO.  That is also not a fact.  It is unknown if there are employees that work on DDO that do not post on the forums.  And, if so, in what capacity.

Jerry nuked two full pages of that thread where Hobgoblin told that guy to go eat a dick.

How much you want to bet the guy who called him out for it got a vacation and Hobby doesn't get anything?

You don't want to know rubbi, you really really do not want to know...

And Asheras, as far as I can tell said people never came back to DDO or LoTRO.
So either they were picked for another secret project or they were let go but the fact is that they do not work for DDO.  Roll Eyes

UPDATE: BREAKING ASSKISSING NEWS!!!!

After telling Delacroix21 to Eat a Dick on the mobos, Good old ass-kisser, pretend bad-boy new PC member Hobgoblin got off Scott Free! So not only did Nobgobbler not get kicked off the PC for that whole circus thread, he also is still posting on the Mobos. That right there is some tasty bias eh?

Urlicker must be so jealous to see that kind of slack being handed out by his Master and liege-lord FatJerry.  Grin 

Come on PC members, tell us what you are going to do and get away with now that you know you have free reign.

Fuck all, anyone can see bias in any of shoe-LICKER's posts. He can pretty much do whatever the fuck he wants and Cordovan will give him a pass. Guess that's how he won his own contest and got a lifetime VIP. The big joke is he comes to me and others in game and tries to lick ass for concessions.

Tired of this shit. It's getting completely intolerable. Something has to be done to end if not at least address the politicking in the game now.  Undecided

I hear you, I just thought the whole fiasco with Nobgobbler was a high-point for this month. To actually be able to get away with posting 'Eat A Dick' on the mobos, and then spray shit for another 5-6 hours at anyone who objected to the use of the expression? That is some ball-breaking bias. Too fucking funny.

They clearly were not needed back on DDO or LoTRO, and they no longer had a product to support.  They were the very definition of redundant.

I dunno, maybe look at your two remaining products and try to support/grow them to keep your business alive after having suffered a colossal and embarrassing failure.

Cutting the ass out of your two remaining products, and keeping the D teams employed (presumably the A, B & C teams were put on the new flagship product) - probably not the way I would run my business.

Well that's debatable. Maybe it's not the devs that are the weakest link, maybe it's the idiots in manglement...

Possibly.  But regardless of who was the weaker link, management has all the power in the relationship.  They can say who is to blame, and they can fire people.  Even if they are wrong they often get away with much just because no one wants to call them on the BS and risk losing their own job.

I can't know who was right or wrong, I have no inside scoop into turbine.  I just laid out what I thought would be the most likely scenario if a bunch of developers rolled out a DOA product.

He was cutesy about it.  Posted something like "EDA, arrange it how you want."  But he wasn't fast enough on his edit and then had to beg someone who called him on it to edit their own post quoting him.  Which they didn't do.  Smiley  Still didn't get him banned.  Might have gotten him a couple infractions, but probably not.  The whole system is horribly subjective and based on Jerry's prejudices.
