9 hours yesterday, 12 and a half today, never saw a DEV. I think they are a myth. Magical beings, maybe, from a different dimension. But, there's still tonight and tomorrow...lol

Oddest feeling ever whaling on an quickdraw, then it moves just as you alpha and Paul's K2 being the unfortunate bystander behind it eats duo ac10's and blows the engine. It was river city night i didn't even realize he was there, let alone crit CT.

Too bad we still lost since teammates took a ton of damage trying to get him and afterwards we got flanked and slaughtered. He's pretty good with using cover. (except when using quickdraws)

Same here several hours and no dev - just like last year. I think this is great thing for PGI to do. However, the PGI team needs to set aside some time so many people can experience going up against a dev.

Again like last yer the PGI crew dont put in a little effort to include us in other timezones. I sware its just about their stats for promos so they can say " well we've had X ammount of players play X ammount of hrs on our game".

They use to pop on all the time during Beta , even i smushed a few back then what happened.

ironically there was a dev in my very first match of the challenge- and then he survived.i was on the wrong side of the map and never saw him til i was dead and specatting- had a pair of orange legs and CT in a t-wolf (was Matthew btw) at the end. i dubbed him the "Dev who lived" at that point. that was the only one i saw between yesterday and today.

here's a tip, PGI - if you have a weekend event to kill a dev... make sure your employees PLAY. Give them the day off Friday or Monday and make every single one of them play the game for 8 hours over the weekend at a minimum as their work-day 'work'.

To be fair here, we don't know the ratios on how many devs are playing to how many games are going on in any given hour. They might be doing exactly what you said, LT.

Well, can you blame them if they don't all play? They're the number one target both for friendlies and foes; who wants to just die over and over like that? Frankly, I think it's awfully sporting of them to offer such an event.

My offer stands, devs. If you want, I'll pull together some of my pilots and we'll group with y'all for some rounds. Should be fun. :)

Hey Devs! My Unit is running drops right now. Hit me up in TS or in-game if you'd like to run with a group instead of solo pugging. :)

TS3 server is taek.us:9988. No password for tonight so that it's easier to get into it for y'all.

Awww! It's 1:40 in the morning here (EDT) - got to turn in and get some sleep. Oh well, maybe next time. :)

If any of y'all wind up online before 11:00 PM (EDT) tomorrow night, hit up The Wolf Brigade and we'll run some groups with you. Might be a better experience than the solo queue, and it would give some of the groups a chance at the prize.

...The Wolf Brigade has some good pilots - you'd be well-guarded. ;)
