No they're not. For example: PvP

I find this tangent irrelevant and disrespectful. Talking on a mass forum whether someone deserves their job, knowing full well that they may well see it, is crass and insensitive.

Let's not sully this with any kind of negativity. No Paragon Studios hate. No Dev hate. There are certain people to whom the players felt a connection. Let's just focus on that.

I heard they laid him off over his inability to come up with animations for the new I19 melee set, Sword-Chucks.

Untrue. They had already completed the model.

I know quite a bit about what's going on

Yeah....no.
The PvP attitude is exactly why PvP remains such a low priority

Nope you don't. Pretty obvious to anyone who actually knows anything about the state of MA.

And obviously know nothing about PvP either.

Pretty sad because you seem to think you're the guru of CoH. lmao

Dr. Aeon was hired as a mission author and was given the secondary task of assisting with support of the Mission Architect. He was not the only one given that additional responsibility. Black Scorpion was also publicly announced on the forums to be assisting with powers related work for the MA. Aeon did do some work on things like dev choices but Going Rogue probably diverted everyone's time.

I cannot say who did what but the MA wasn't neglected since launch. The custom critter XP system was put into place, and the ally fix, and a bunch of new maps and critters were added to it, plus some additional enhancements. Perhaps it was not given the attention some think it deserves, but it wasn't forgotten either.

I know enough to know why it's so far down the priority list

I think raging and screaming for various devs to be fired is likely to carry more weight than just analyzing the situation.

And you think player attitude is one of those reasons?

I believe that Dev's Choice and Hall of Fame MA arcs are LOCKED as soon as they're declared such. Correct?


There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

Ignorant troll is ignorant
Nope.
Hall of Fame can be griefed and lost.

Chris Bruce, I wish you only the best for the future, and hope you left knowing you were adored by this community. Thank you for all the work, the beautiful animations, and putting up with our egregious demands. It was wonderful having you in this game.

A great thanks to the others who left Paragon Studios recently, as well. You will be missed.

I'm pretty sure it's more fun to rage about perceived injustice than actually address the facts of a situation, mmmk?
