"Hunt down the Devs"

[captainkapautz]

After those "MUSIC SUX! CHANGE OR NO BUY!" and "TROLOLOLOL PLANTFRONTZ2 LUL" threads that popped up today, I thought about opening a thread with some actual, maybe even constructive, discussion.

So I had this idea pop in my head, seeing as the devs are really close with us, the community, that it'd be nice if they'd join us now and then during the game.

Maybe not during beta, because bugfixing, but later during retail.

Would also be nice to get some kind of merit when you kill one of then, cause I'd totally go for "Higby Hunter Platinum".

Opinions?

Thoughts?

Pancakes?

I'm sure they will be playing. But if I were them, i'd want to be anonymous, honestly.

I'm not saying that if they play they should always play with their "known aliases", but kinda like, and I know some of you will hate on this, DICE does.

Play a game of BF3 and the chance is there to meet a DICE employee, knife him and you get a special dogtag, also has the added bonus that DICE employees have special weapons not available to the normal player that you can pick up with their kit, nothing overpower, just different.

Not saying PS2 has to do it just like that, but something like that would be pretty neat.

Proposal: A merit with Lord British's face on it for killing a dev.

I wasn't serious about dev-specific merits, so (sadly) no "Higby Hunter" or "Brewko Buster", just an all encompassing "Dev Destroyer".

I have to agree with that, it cant be fun to play when 500+ people have singled you out (and people prly will) and are hunting you in earnest.

I think it'd be funny as hell to get Higby to rage quit a session from being hunted mercilessly for 2 hours

I don't, and please don't tell me it's just me.

You all act as if none of them would ever think change the name of their account whenever they happen to "accidentally" sneeze on the mod powers command prompts.

Also having some sort of reward for capturing a control point or a base w/ one of them, or saving one of their asses or vice versa would be just as awesome as getting to do all the murderings.

Like can you imagine getting shot up by a MAX and in that half second that you were about to die it gets run over by a MBT and you see a popup reward message saying you just got saved by T-Ray? It would be awesome just by itself, but having a Dev do it should message the player.

I gotta admit, the sadist in me agrees.

Oh hell no, I have played games that allowed this.

Hint: It never works out and ALWAYS turns into griefing.

I like the idea
If EA/DICE did something like this i am sure everyone would of tryed to knife them and than T bag them.
But the ps2 developers,i like!
If there is an event like this i ll be playing as Higby's personal body guard and revive him all the time

DICE employees do actually play BF3 and they normally use a special DICE dogtag.

I still have a screenie of me killing SporkFire (original PS dev) somewhere. And of course they play. JohnnyA was in our Outfit on Emerald until (I think I'm right in saying) he left SOE. However as others have said, their identities will remain known only by a few trusted people I expect.
