And the Blaster Community Representative is...

Nobody has any representatives, apart from Castle, last I checked. Frankly, I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist over it. I'd just as soon the devs spend the bulk of their time working on the game. It's phenomenal that we get as much feedback as we do, but they do have stuff to get done during the day.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
Jonyu is the brute rep, and Castle is the stalker rep. Positron was the mastermind rep, Statesman was the dominator rep, and I can't remember who the corruptor rep was. I don't know if anyone other than Jonyu or Castle are currently active. Castle has been addressing topics across multiple ATs, though, so PMing him might get a response.

When was this? Must've missed him.
Over a month ago, Statesman announced every AT would be getting its own Community Represenatative, that they'd be looking into it "as soon as the holidays were over". The holidays are over, and nothing more has been said on the matter. Not even a "we're working on it".

Castle said something as well. I don't know what's going on now, of course.

I don't remeber anything about the Corruptor Rep other than the fact that he royally sucked. Nothing like Castle or Jonyu.

I think he posted twice. It's hard to say if he sucked because the movement of his hand was invisible.
That's not really a defense, just an "It's hard to tell if he ever actually did anything."

...yet another unkept promise.
The Devs haven't said boo about getting Community Representatives for Archetypes other than Stalkers. Oh, and before you mention that _Castle_ picked up the Defender issues--he dumped them a few weeks later.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, its not so much that Castle dumped them as its taking longer than he expected to get through them. If nothing else, you have to give him credit for attempting it on his spare time, and for at least letting us know that things are taking longer.

Ah, gotcha. Accepted the invite pretty late into beta. Must've missed him in the MM forums.
These devs are better then any other. Quit your crying.

He and one of the other devs wrote some nice Mastermind guides, and the direct involvement led to some nice changes to MMs during beta.
One amusing point was a general discontent with people who were leveling past ten (the request was to test content from 1-10 at the time) all meanwhile Positron is talking about his level 20 or 30 or so MM.

A community representative who doesn't speak/communicate with the community.
How innovative. 
not suprising >.>

Devastus and he didn't give corrupters anything other than "we think corrupters are about where we want them."

Better than something else doesn't make it good. Quit your worshipping.
wait a min what makes stalkers so special that they get a representative and everyone else is left out in the cold
I've found the only Dev that you can depend on for an answer is Castle. Anything posted by other Devs I usually label "[censored]" until it actually happens.
Has anyone thought of pm'ing Castle and seeing if he would look into some of our concerns?
Things like:
archery
/devices
electric end drain
defiance
and others I haven't listed?
Maybe we could trick ..er... coerce ...er... persuade him to look into a few things for us.
I'd be willing to bet that he has already gotten PMs from someone from every AT to do the same thing.
We could threaten him. Our threats wouldn't even have to be empty.

I PM'd him about AR/Dev and he's been keeping me updated when QA may be able to start testing. They're swamped with I7 right now.
Castle is already looking at Defender issues in his spare time, and posted to say that its going to take longer than he expected to get through them. My guess is that they're all madly trying to get I7 finished, and Cryptic is probably understaffed. Understaffing would explain a lot of the stuff that occurs.
