I must be unlucky then because I'm dropping with the same dudes in general. Can't say I remember killing you Paul.

Personally I would have like the critera changed to.

Kill/Protect a dev..

Option one is easy...see a Dev kill him...job done.

Option two..he's on our team guys, protect him till the timer runs out, and yes that can be boring for the dev, but hey it can make for an interesting opportunity to test out a PROTECT the KING type of game.

The defending team if they win/dev survives do not get the MC but they do get a different hanging icon that says I protected a DEV.

Though thinking on that, in these times that might be a controversial action..... :rolleyes:

Some kind of escort the VIP could be an entertaining game mode. One team protecting some asset and the other team trying to destroy it.

It would be nice to make this permanent (at least the medallions) instead of a limited time thing.

In the last six months I've seen two devs (and killed one).

The Devs may be used to seeing a dev in every match the play, but for the rest of us you're rarer than a two horned unicorn.

Thank you for the heads-up! Because of the time zone difference here, it can be tough finding a dev in-game.

Also, if any of y'all are interested, The Wolf Brigade would be happy to host some of you for group drops (No TK'ing, I promise!). Our TS server is taek.us:9988, no password. We're normally online after 8:30 PM, EST; check us out if you're on then too. :)

It feels dirty, but I feel like we should thank the dev team for participating in this event. It can't be particularly fun for them, knowing 12 guys on the other side see their [PGI] tag and start watering at the mouth. Exploding every single drop, as we all know, gets old in a hurry. The gesture is certainly appreciated.

Now, on to the shower for me.

Since closed beta I've sighted, 2 devs, 2 IGP and 1 NGNG. note this isn't just for these events this is all the time I've spent logged in.

Don't really care much for events where people can't take part because they are not in the correct ELO pools

Whatever. I've yet to see a single Dev.

I've got a hunch that it's an Elo thing. Either my Elo is too high or too low to be playing with them...which is hard to fathom. I end up in matches with new players every single day, so either I'm so terrible that I'm still considered a "new player" after all this time or I'm expected to carry them.

Whatever. It is what it is.

I find it hard to believe that elo matters. I've been in the same match as Oddwalla and a noob that was asking why he couldn't lock his SRMs - that's about as wide a margin as you can get. I don't think MM puts you in an elo bracket, it just averages the elo of everybody on your team so the other team can be matched also via average elo.
