I have heard that this person is good at antihack/cheat protection software, that he already programmed some of these? Can anybody confirm or deny this? Because if yes, maybe this is what they want to do witch cheating

Anyway, even if my gossip is denied, good for him, congratz!


I heard he can bench 900 lbs. and his blood is a cure-all. I also heard he is the successor to Chuck Norris. Apparently, he's going to solo-develop Legacy of the Void while everybody at Blizzard looks on in amazement. He's also a Jedi.

Pretty sure he couldn't do a worse job than Blizzard is doing at the moment, even if he was all by himself and he couldn't code cause his hands were tied and his eyes blindfolded...

Blizzard always makes great moves? I must have missed the memo.

This was the most non-logic post i ever seen, like blizzard not having talented people?, could not be more far from the truth. One of the most if not THE most talented gamedevelopers out there. Just working at their place/palace makes your entusiasm and creativity go wild.

Wow, this is really good. Maybe Blizzard will hire new mapmakers next ;D

Seriously... Why don't they also hire like, retiring pro-players so that they can actually balance the game? Think how cool it'd be if Idra or Qxc were hired by Blizzard...




While it would be cool, I think the main reason that Blizzard doesn't do this is because of biased a specific player might have to the game, or the changes that they would be allowed to make from their suggestions would be too little to compensate for the position. I think they want people who have real world "experience" in balancing games.
Also consider the fact that they would have to pay Idra or Qxc when they have mentioned several times that blizzard reaches out to pro players for feedback as well as suggestions, so why make a paid position when you could have the opinion of current progamers for free.



That's a terrible argument. With that logic, we could say that Blizzard shouldn't be making any changes to the game because of their bias due to the fact that they created it. Or that they're a business using esports as a way to make money which is pretty much the truth.

"Real world" experience in balancing a video game is non-existent. No one has actually sat down and attempted to balance a game for competition. Blizzard assuming they know better than pro players is no different than pro players assuming they know more than Blizzard.

Not only that, but if Idra or QXC were to become balance designers, do you think they would actually allow them to make a specific race more powerful? I understand these guys played SC2 as a profession, but they're just people. They're not actually connected to the races they play aside from the fact that they played those races. They do not speak for the races in the game themselves, and I assure you, when it comes down it, they really don't give a fuck if Zerg is not "zergy" enough (whatever that means...).

Having an extravagant corporate headquarters != talent, unless you're talking about the interior designer they hired.

Not to take anything away from him, but he didn't solo-develop everything in Gameheart. There are things he worked with others to get into GH, but that also means he already has those contacts and hopefully Blizz will let him bring on board in some form those people as well.
HOLY CHECK!
