Design Meeting at Respawn: Old LTM
CEO : Fiuhhh, we just dodge the bullet for short TTK, let's do something to make up our mistake. Let's create new LTM. What do you think guys? Design : We have so much idea but we ha...
Forum Discussion
@hayhor TWICE, they've tried to roll out old content and it hasn't worked properly. It's honestly sad.
@pastaclown It is quite scary and shows why they cannot fix other items. What scares me is what will happen in the next new mode? Will the game erase itself? 😂
Emergency meeting at night after 1st LTM: Dummies
CEO : WTF guys, what is happening with Dummies ??
Dev: Opss, we didn't expect player doesn't select color (AFK), so he might get same color as team mate and server crashed.
CEO : QA, how do you MISSED that ??
QA : Well, we're not monkey, eventhough we work at home, we always "working". We always select our color when we dry run it.
Dev never give us such use cases to test.
So don't always blame us, blame the Dev for such poor error handling !
Dev : Damn it, maybe we should hire lazy monkey next time ??
CEO : Stop joking around, it's getting late now, my kid wants to sleep !
Dev : Me2.
CEO : What to do then ?
Dev : Easy, put the LTM to SLEEP as well !
CEO : Genius, good night guys !
Don't F*Ck up next time.

- @asukojo Wait whats this with color? ;0 you mean everyone’s trail color is the same or something? ;0
Even tho I dont fully understand, still a fun read xD@Koochi-Q not selecting a dummy color in Legend select would crash the server. Supposedly because when you don't select a color, it tries to select whatever color you chose previously, but if you hadn't played previously (or if you had and someone took said color) it'd crash the server.
Programming! It's like walking across a floor covered in caltrops. You sweep some caltrops out from your path in front, and realize you've shot yourself.
- @asukojo ngl this September soiree has been a total L
Another meeting, this time on day time after dummy-2
Dev & QA : We updated and tested it this time, it works like a chams this time.
CEO : I know it, but this's not why we have this meeting. Marketing team, tell me what people said about it.
Marketing : We compile players respond though social media, twitter, instagram, youtube, and they HATE IT !
Top respond: LAME, Worst LTM, LAZY. It has been 1 year, they want something new and refreshing.
CEO : Don't tell me about it, even my kid HATE it and say : "Dad, why don't ask them to create something new, you're still their boss, right ??"
Meeting end...To be continue.
Another meeting after live die live:
CEO : Marketing team, we gave better LTM, do they like it better ?
Market : Nah, they said same thing like before, they want fresh content.
CEO : Agree, my job is on the line here, we have to do something. Let get new LTM out.
Design : No worries boss, we have new one ready using same concept as Arm and Dangerous.
CEO : Tell me about it.
Design : Based on A&D, people like "desperate" situation, lack of health and shield, so we're going to totally remove it !
CEO : Are you nuts?? If they die so fast, they will cry again like baby, remember short TTK hiccup we had !?
Design : No worries, we find place where they can "charge" their shield and health.
CEO : But everybody will go there then ?
Design: Yes, we think people like gun fight, remember skull town ?
CEO : They like to fight but they don't like to die fast.
They will easily die in such small area with no shield and no health, they will scream again.
Design: Opss, You're right, but this is the only thing we got.
CEO : I honestly very nervous with "easy to die" stuff, but if that's all you got, let's gamble it out.
We will take the risk, this's LTM, worst case people will be pissed off only for 2 weeks.
QA, make sure you didn't screw up this time. Remember Dev got your back last time ?
QA: Well, we will try our best, but remember we can only test techincal part, we can't test player experience.
CEO : Darn it, my job is not easy as I thought.....
Meeting end...To be continue.
