15 layoffs with SSG taking the brunt?  I didn't know SSG had 15 people on staff.  I thought they only had Lynn, Cordo, SteelStar, and a few remaining inturds.

Don't forget the guy who turns the servers off and then back on again.
  

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.

The 15 were spread across several Daybreak games.  As far as I can tell, only Lynnabel got axed at SSG.  We do know that the one who should have been fired still has his job.

I will explain it to you in corpo language:

*Fire 1 dev and have their work shared across the others but a single PR monkey is necessary and would cost money to replace and would be counterproductive with the choice of axing 1 dev*

Considering how Cordoban is pretty much the entire PR department (like...he ate all the others  Grin), he is paradoxically the most useless but most necessary cog in this shit spraying fan we call DDO.



Doubts? Questions?

A new study reports as many as 3 million Americans is being illegally paid less than minimum wage. Odds are pretty fair cordo is one of them.

Thought Pennies??




They're an "All Remote" games studio that also happened to lay off several folks back in October.

I wonder how long Lynnabel lasts?

Cordo doesn't deserve minimum wage for the job he does.

Early on she was helpful, later on she just shuffled deck chairs around on the titanic. Stat squish was a massive waste of time, as were the Destiny changes. Boring ass horizontal changes without any new features.

Ravenloft? Good
Sharn? Ok
Feywild? Gay and Retarded
Saltmarsh? Lame
Dinosaurs? Ok
Last years crap? Lame

If they don't get a decent release soon game is actually dead IMO. Ravenloft and Reaper saved the game for me. They need to seriously upend reaper and release a banger but I doubt they are capable.
Loot has been going down the toilet for a long ass time.

If we had an Isle of Dread level expansion every year, I'd be down to play again.

How long until she makes it a nickel for your thoughts?
Or argues that she's a Lincoln head pennie and/or arrowhead pennies are racist?
One Red Cent is ok because it sounds like communism?
Thoughts cost a pennie but pronoun changes are free?

But think of all the spelling corrections she made in NPC dialogue and tooltips! Hey Tonquin, make this change to the game for me with no approval of an actual producer or anyone else!

While I mainly share your POV, it's also fair to say that she didn't act alone. Whatever happens in SSG it must be something really fucked up to turn Lynnabel into Quentin

I greatly appreciated her/him (I still don't know what the hell happened and why some people question this, she a transgender?) for answering people on the forum and not being a general asshole

Last time I had an official account on the forum and that Severlin cuck replied to me, I got a lifelong ban for "trolling a dev using a sock account".

Fuck you Severlin, go die in a fire Cordovan.

Best of luck Quentin, you will be somewhat missed (mainly because you did nothing wrong to me)

Pretty much agree with you here wholesale except Feywild and Sharn. I hated Sharn and loved Feywild. But I guess I'm biased as the Feywild has always been one of my favorite lore areas in D&D.

But from a quest design standpoint, they're both equally shit to me.

Ravenloft saved DDO, but that goodwill has long since started to rot and decay. Dread was a momentary reprieve. If Myth Dranor doesn't approach Dread levels or go to Ravenloft heights, the game's fucked.

That's absolutely awful in a place with a high cost of living.

And they want someone with 3-5 years experience?

That kind of salary offer in a place like Boston is entry-level money.   Roll Eyes

Oh, they need to list "Thick Skin" in the Other Criteria section.

Makes me wonder if they fired Lynn and then DayBreak came back and said "new quarter, you can hire a newb" at a reduced rate.
