Blizzard sending their love to DBM Author

[jasdasm]

Ok cool but He is not the Author of Deadly Boss Mods. he is merely someone who maintains it

[Lochton]

Previously I just brushed off what you said but now I really must say it "are you serious"?

Yeah, can I join you in on that?

But he is...?

[jasdasm]

The difference is you've done nothing for the game that warrants them noticing you... He's developed one of the most widely used addon in the game all by himself for the past 13 years. He's effectively changed the way boss encounters are designed.

lmao no. he isnt the creator of DBM

You want to open up about this or are you just trolling around?

[Paulosio]

That's great, but the problem is in todays world this could be a sign of affection, or a planned PR stunt supposed to go viral in the community. Hard to tell them apart.

Perhaps but you should take into account that blizzard made this gesture with no fanfare. It was the DBM guys choice to make it known... Otherwise nobody would ever have known about it.

To repeat myself: That's how proper social media PR works.

[Wries]

It's nice but given how encounters are more or less designed with DBM/BigWigs/WA in mind nowadays it's honestly not enough. He is practically supplying something that many raiders consider a necessity (no I don't want to hear about your edgy guild that refuses to do hc/mythic encounters with add-ons, you're a minority).

The tools supplied in an add-on such as DBM should be toggle-able in the default UI and the guy should be on Blizzard's payroll, and medical plan. PR-stunt for MSI is frankly too small of a gesture.

The guy has a bad mouth infection, send him a fucking check or reference to a free specialist to get himself healed, not a fucking computer.

That's how you help him. "Here keep suffering but enjoy all this free swag!".

Also OP, they notice us? My hydro company is charging me triple my consumption for 4 months ever since they installed a new broken meter downstairs which they refuse to fix or replace. If I make a post about how I pay 200$ in summer for electricity whilst I don't even have AC, will they notice me too?

How about the people whose valid and respectful complaint threads get deleted on the forums every day, do they get noticed too?

lol. You sound vengeful as shit. Have you considered therapy? Because right now I am thinking of calling some people and putting you on watch. I mean dayum dude xD

I only remember that I didn't use DBM in AQ or Naxx but I honestly cant remember if it was continuation or just another addon created from that? Because all the addons were pretty much the same back then. I mean hell there isn't much difference to users in dbm and bigwigs. Both have bars and timers.

Guy suffering with tooth abscess for years, taking fish antibiotics to self medicate because he can't afford medical insurance to get it fixed. Great system you have there in the land of the free from universal healthcare.

lol yeah this. Cant believe most americans accept that way of life. Freedom and guns I guess.

anyway, nice for him. Glad things are turning for him Nice touch.

Yeah but you know Managing doesnt mean he build it.

[Deleted]

That was really nice/thoughtful.

[Waldor666]

The thing is, Blizz design their game encounters around these addons now. If it all goes tits up, where does that leave the game? many changes would have to be made!

[Kul Tiras]

"Vengeful?" Do you know the meaning of that word?

It's a PR stunt for a public figure who they knew would mention them. Even if he didn't, the cost for them was a drop in the ocean, they make over a billion a year from WoW subs alone.

[Gorgodeus]

While this is a very nice move it would be even better if they would include his add-on in wow baseline and offer him a full time job at blizzard for maintaining/developing it.

Since when does 1 addon equal a full time job? It doesn't.

He could probably land a job if he applied. A lot of their engineers got started by writing add-ons.

Though maintaining an add-on is also not quite on par with being part of a team developing a game.

Maybe if you contributed something to the community besides hyperbolic vitriol, people would be inclined to lend a helping hand.

This is a good thing. Don't attack it.
