Bay Area Meet The Devs Event!

Ex_Libris · 10-10-2007 05:14 PM

We are currently working on planning and promoting a Bay Area "Meet the Dev's" Event.

I have made this poll to find out some general interest and to see what things players would like to see at an event of this type.

The current date we are considering is Friday November 30th at Dave & Busters.

Please take a minute to fill out the poll and if you wish comment on this discussion with your ideas.

Thank You!

Hmm. If I live in Canada, do I choose Other? Or Pacific Northwest since I'm a whole two hour drive from Seattle?

"Dev's" should be "Devs", since there's no possession going on here. (Except, possibly, of the demonic kind.)

We're meeting their event.

We really need to have a City of Heroes Fan Fest in Rhode Island. We can make Providence "Paragon City for a Day!".

Or visit any place that has a name relevant to the game, like Atlas Park.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

A couple of quick questions...

One, is Dave and Busters in San Jose, or San Fran? Second, can you confirm that date soon, as we want plenty of timeto make flight reservations at a discount rate

Obsidius · 10-11-2007 09:38 AM

<QR>

Howie's Game Shack is still open for business <hint hint>

One of the coolest events evar! Where Posi was dropping hints about vet rewards and other cool things that came to be

Dave & Busters is at Milpitas

Milpitas is close to San Jose.

I will be there after work.

Kitten_of_Chaos · 10-11-2007 11:38 AM

what time friday is the general thought? afternoon? evening? Need to start looking at some ticket prices to consider this further.

Ex_Libris · 10-11-2007 12:04 PM

Looking at 6ish-11, with the event to start at 7 and pre-registration at 6.

is this directly tied to the meet and greet? seems a stupid question...

I've been out that way a number of times and under normal traffic conditions (i.e. only a handful of snags), it usually takes about 1.5 hour from our neck of the woods. Taking into consideration that there is a strong possibility that a good chunk of the driving will be done during rush hour, I'm guessing it might take 2-2.5 hours. I can only see it getting to 3 hours if traffic is horrendously gruesome that day (which can certainly happen in the Bay!)

I too was looking forward to Dec 8th...but my reason was a little selfish (day after my 30th birthday). But the fact that it was on a Saturday did certainly sweeten the deal. I can completely understand that it's probably going to be pretty tough to get a venue that's available on a Saturday during the Holidays.

My suggestion is if the meet 'n greet absolutely has to be held on a Friday, Cryptic will want to want to push the start time back a couple hours. The Austin deal was from 6-10pm...it'd be pretty rough for people to get to Dave 'n Busters by the time the doors open if you have the same start time. You're looking at Friday rush-hour traffic and it'll be pretty rough for even those players who live in core of the Bay area by this time if they have a job that has standard office/banking hours. Those who are driving from outside the Bay (i.e. Sacramento and other areas of Northern California) will definitely not be able to get to D&B in time if they're unable to take some time off work.

I'll still be able to come even if it's on a Friday instead of a Saturday...but I can definitely understand the position of those who are unable to do Friday.

Ex...that's going to be pretty hard for a lot of people to make if they have Monday-Friday 9-5 jobs (even if they do live in the Bay area). *Especially* with a Friday rush hour commute.

I know a pretty big group of players in the Sacto area who will likely be interested in this shindig. But a Friday at 6-7ish is going to be a pretty hard sale as many of them would have to to take time off work to make it to the D&B in time.

Ex_Libris · 10-11-2007 01:25 PM

If there is anyone that has an idea for a player workshop or developers panel please let me know what you would be most interested in seeing.

We will be booking some various spaces so that we can meet the needs of some small group discussions etc.
