Rookery: Developer Appreciation day
A buncha quotes to go with topic ( changed with coh ideas)
Booker T. Washington
Any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement if he makes up his mind to Level each day.
Sam Walton
Appreciate everything your associates do for the task force. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune.
Voltaire
Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
Albert Schweitzer
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Henry Clay
Courtesies of a small and trivial player are the ones which strike deepest in the gratefully and appreciating heart.
Anonymous
Encouraged people achieve the best; dominated people achieve second best; neglected people achieve the least.
William Arthur
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you. Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtue server, but the parent of all others.
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
I agree puppeh!
Although the destruction of base raids and the current pvp system are still a sore subject for me.
*takes a cake donut and a coffee*
Raises a Mimosa and a bacon sandwich in appreciation. Well done devs.
Good idea puppeh.
*drives throught the middle of the rookery with a parade including giant(ish) balloon caricatures of all the Devs followed by a 99 kitten kazoo band*

I haz 87 Clouded Points
*Toasts the devs with a pint o' Guinness*
Hey, they've kept me around for SIX AND A HALF YEARS!!
Here's to you lads and lasses!
When's the next 2xp weekend? I know this was a long one (it is over now, right?), so much so I oogged in last night and people tolde me it was STILL going, my eyes got too blurry to see. My body's way of saying I'd had enough this time around I guess.
-Pogoman, Master of Kick-Fu
-Co-Leader and recruiting officer of the Virtue Honor Guard
- lvl 50 ma/sr scrapper
-Ace O' Diamonds lvl 50 fire/rad controller
and waaaay to many other alts to mention right now
This dev team is definitely superior to the ones that left to start that game which shall not be named. They actually seem to CARE about what the players want and give us things we have asked for for years and heard that they were not possible.
Hallo...
PuppehPogoPogoLarkerBunnyScoobyDoobyBeckyNinjaPixi eKitteh
Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)
I have my own list of the top 10. In no particular order:
1) Inherent Fitness. This is my number 1 choice. I can now make more varied characters and can pick up 'fun' powers that may not be as useful. Hand clap, anyone?
2) Side Switching. My Warshade is now a villain. My Warshade was always a nictus.
3) Power/Weapon/Shield/Animation Customization. Yadda yadda blue fire, green machine gun, pink sword, gem shield
4) Variety of Power Sets to use. Do I need to explain this one?
5) Going Rogue. Specifically Praetoria and the goodness inside.
6) Tip Missions. Quick, easy, something you can do daily. Limited to 5, so good for a casual player.
7) No need for IOs at all. You can play at level 50 with just SOs and you'd not be 'useless' (for most players eyes). My Warshade has just the alpha slotted and just regular IOs and plays just fine. Even has Master of Apex badge.
8) Loyalty Programs. This also includes Veteran awards.
9) Ski Chalet. Would prefer if it was open more often. It's great to RP in and better than the D itself.
10) The devs themselves. They are one of the best development teams I've had the pleasure of playing a game with. They actually care about the game, rather than copying content from other games. They put in effort.
So, those are some of my great things I think of about the devs.
ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker
Before we start No im not kissing ***. Developers have been a MMOs wet dream makers lately and i think we need to appreciate them.
