Does anyone here actually think Lynnabel is good for DDO?

I doubt it has ever even played P+P for 16 hrs at a time, or even dungeon master even one campaign.
This person IMHO just is not good enough.
I know I am not good enough to be a DEV.
If I am wrong please show me the error of my ways.

I think of all of them, Lynnabel gets pretty good marks for actually engaging and making changes off feedback.

I don't think he has been involved in quest or story arc  design yet?

I don't think whether you've played PnP D&D is relevant to DDO over the past decade.

That said, Lynnabel suffers from the same problems that everyone on the staff at SSG suffers from.  Hubris.  They read the brown nosers on the forums and think they are doing a good job.  Fat Jerry is doing a shit job on the forums and skewing everyone's view of the gaming community.

Lynnabel isn't any better or worse than the others; she got points early for being willing to listen and engage.  You should note that has been getting less and less the longer she's worked there.

Lynnabel has been very responsive to community feedback and done well with interacting in general.   As an intern, the bug fixing threads went pretty far to increase QoL. 

Lynnabel works mostly on loot and systems.  Not content.  At least to my understanding.   The goggles everyone farmed the shit out of in blown deadline  (collective sight) were designed from a community series of community polls. That was a novel concept. 

If you want to point out that lynnabel has designed some loot or other Features you didn’t like or made decisions you didn’t agree with, that’s fine. No developer bats 1000 on all new features/designs but lynnabel has admitted when mistakes are made/tried to correct and is collaborative with the community and I appreciate that.

But then I work in software development so maybe I’m a little more understanding (and forgiving) of how tough the job can be and how easy it is to armchair quarterback.

Worrying about that when Steel is such an oncgoing raging dumpster fire of inept fuckery is like taking time to marvel in the wardrobe choice of the 16 year old girl that got plastered by a city bus and is in a mangled heap on the sidewalk waiting for medics.

When we get the blood back into the probably lifeless carcass still twitching, I'll worry about why she was wearing a ride the lightning shirt instead of a mater of puppets one.

Pretty much this right here.  I honestly believe that Lynabell wants to do right by the player base.

Brownstar on the other hand is a clueless, shit-caked asshole on a hemorrhoid-powered mean streak.

Actually, I would venture to say that DMing games would not be a positive trait for a dev. Many DMs  feel like they have to control everything, and become such rules freaks, which forced the players to cheese out things the DMs didn't disallow, which makes the DMs angry because their precious story didn't turn out the way they wanted. and it's a vicious cycle

Lynnabel doesn't have enough clout to affect any real change, so what does it even matter?
  

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.

Lynn is best of all the dev team currently. Still isn't good enough comparing to customer service in other MMO's

Yeah I mean,  they derp about the game all the time,  but I don't expect dev's to be build experts.  They do need to get some kind of build expert / playtester on staff to point out issues,  but...

The other thing is that they did is fix a lot of the classic battle cry of StringTable Error!  That was a lack of polish that irritated me so I'm happy about that.

But they're also a little fuck that named themselves Lynnabel and then acts surprised and hurt when you call them female.  That kind of drama trap means they deserve all the vault can regurgitate up into a vomit slurry of insults.

Agree.

Lynnabel, seems much more player-oriented than any other Dev. For sure, they listen to the customers more than any other Dev that I can see.

Lynnabel is a crappy dev, but better than if they weren't working there at all.

Someone better would be better (yeah, no shit...) but Lynn is better than no one.

I was thinking about your example.  The error of your ways is this.  A game designer needs to have played lots of dnd to plan levels quests etc.  A dev needs none of this.  In fact DDO needs less of it.  We need a nerdy dev with the love of low level network code and multi-threading applications that interface with databases.  We don't need game designers,  we need the nerdiest nerd we can find.

My gear is a little better with Feywild gear than it was before Feywild.

The Alchemist and DPS spells nerfs and bow fuckery still made me quit the game, but that's not Lynnabel's fault so much as Sev's fault and the dev crew as a whole as far as I can tell.

It actually has nothing to do with trans / politics / etc. 

If you're cis wonderful,  if you're trans wonderful,  I don't understand but I don't care.  You do you,  I'll call you whatever you want,  it does't cost me anything but a little mental effort with pronouns occasionally. 

What you don't do,  is use a feminine sounding name on a message board where people only have your name to go on,  then act like a bitch when someone uses a feminine pronoun.  With the fact that its an official account that kind of drama whoring just pisses me off.
