Mission Designer vacancy at Paragon Studios...

All the details are here.

And I'm posting this in this forum for one very good reason...

'Our players -- and this is probably true with most MMOs, but moreso of City of Heroes -- because of the costume creator and the level of detail people get into it, you kind of get a different mindset of player. You get a very creator-centric mindset. Now we've added on to that with Mission Architect. Now they can become creators of their own stories and everybody wants to be good creators with each other. So it builds this positive feedback where you see all this stuff going. You know, if I ever need to hire a new mission writer, guess where I'm going to look? I'm going to look at the highest rated guys on there. Because that's your resume. You've done it and people love your stuff.' - Positron, Massively interview

(no, I'm not able to apply. I'm in the UK. ;P)

(also posted to the main MA forum, but I hope I'll be forgiven a double post, just this once )

I really hope Positron comes here to look at who's rated highly, rather than at the rating system in game. The 5 star cartels and Hall of Fame griefers have made the in game ratings pretty much useless.

I find most of the reviews here are very accurate, and those highly rated in this forum are often better than a lot of the crap that became dev choice in the short burst after I-14 shipped.

I might apply, if for no other reason than to add to my collection of rejection slips from NCsoft.

Heck yeah, I'm going to take a look. I'm eligible for retirement in August and have enough vacation time built up to carry me through!

If he's at all serious, I do hope they're up for looking at applicants that have solid arcs that may not have 999 reads. A lot of people that got early arcs in got the benefit of a low content supply. Others have simply had more time to market their arcs, run review threads, and so on. Those folks that had other obligations that delayed their creations and those that don't have time to do a couple reviews a night might have material just as good, or better than, the current Dev's Choices and other award winners. They simply haven't had the opportunity to put them front and center.

Wow, is that announcement gonna stir the pot.

Oh dayum!

*makes moar mishunz*

Considering that so many of the "highest-rated" arcs are blatant farming missions, I don't see that as a good criteria to be looking for.
