Had already Karl Berg in my Team as the event started, and today another in the enemy team, if i remember corretly Jamie Schneider or something like that...

[DarthPeanut]

Interesting event but I have not been playing much this weekend. Couple matches Friday night was it.

GL to everyone on getting the devs!

[Ristle]

So... Did the 500 MC reward get burnt through yet?

[Blackhawk ge]

I got a dev more than 12 hours ago and only got a hanging item so I assume yes.
Had yesterday 2 times a dev in my team and today once where I got him.

Not seen a single one. Guess my Elo is too low....

[Valdemaar]

Been taking part in these dev kill matches every time and only in the first event did I ever see any devs and that was only a handful of times. Just once I'd like to get that medal >_>

[BigZach]

About two dozen of us just did solo queue drops for two hours in the hopes of finding a dev. None of us found one in any of our 10+ drops each.

If a similar event is run in the future, I think there should be at least one dev assigned to do drops at all or most hours of the day...we can't schedule group events based on looking through this thread waiting for a dev to post that they've just started dropping.

[Stormwolfe13]

Saw one Dev the whole weekend... Matt Newman...... in one match..... on my team..... you should have 2 or 3 devs on at all times during such events... Saw the same thing last time a Kill a Dev event was run also... waste of damn time as it is run imho.

[Mattiator]

Is the item the same as from the Piranha Hunt? That's the only special event item I'm missing.

According to Russ in another thread, they were about around 125 dev deaths about an hour ago.

Edit: Here

Bottom line is that in no way does PGI view this weekend event as being as meaningful and deep as the other challenges. We actually were close to having no event this weekend since we had a lot of them recently and have a really big one planned for next week.

Also yes people really underestimate the number of player playing with forum goers making up a very small percentage.

We has been 123 Dev's killed so far, so I expect we will hit around 200 by end of event.

Next weekend is a much bigger event

[Tarogato]

Can we have this event once a month? Please? =]
That way we don't have to all scramble during one weekend to
A: play constantly to find a dev
B: pressures all the devs into playing extreme hours

Just have the event semi-regularly so everybody gets a chance at some point.

(and do the protect a dev bonus!)

[Seraphim Raphael]

The event is quite half-hearted. There is not even the chance to see a dev in 12 hours of playing (I played in the PDT PrimeTime and there was one Dev for one hour). If it is not possible to make a plan, that 6 Devs playing 24h (4 hour playtime must be possible, it is your game ) than cancel the event. Or make it an achievement.

[sabujo]

This event is nonsense and while it aims to release some steam on public rage against devs, it only increases the player's frustration.

I've dropped solo around 30 times and I haven't seen any dev either on my team or in the opposing force. Also, I imagine that if I ever found one, the odds of killing it would be very slim.

But that level of chance/difficulty is understandable from the minds that created the 12 kill achievement (7 kills are the perfect ceiling) or the 10.000 headshot one (50 would be already asking too much). It's complete nonsense to raise the bar like that.

Back to the event... I am with Seraphim: make it an achievement.

[Dino Might]

I don't intend to piss everyone off here, but I feel it has to be said:

Why is everyone so pissed? You know the total number of devs is less than 1000. You know the player base is more than a million (or somewhere around that order of magnitude). The chances of you seeing a dev is very very very low. They offer a decorative item IF you see one and kill one. The chances of this are extremely low. This is KNOWN. Yet, everyone is on here pissing and moaning about not getting their dev kill, like they should be entitled to it. It's not a big contest event, just a simple bonus for those lucky enough to find and kill a dev. But not everyone gets a trophy, and not everyone should. Otherwise, the trophy just isn't really special. Get over it.

[Orkdung]

The player base is not "more than a million"

There are roughly 35 Devs.

Haven't seen one all weekend.

Good job Dino.

It seems to me that this shouldn't be a weekend event...

I think that the "killed a dev" should be a permanent ongoing reward from now on.

I've rarely seen a Dev since I started playing the game since early beta and I don't even think I actually had a kill on one. And if I actually had a kill on one it would have been nice to have one of thoses "killed a dev" items.

Make it a permanent ongoing reward and I think alot of people would be happier.

[LegendofJimmy]

Took down Mr. Russ Bullock in his red dragon It literally was a suicide mission though..

[xeromynd]

Don't take this as sounding greedy, this was a super fun event and I'm grateful! But: when are the rewards typically delivered? Is this insta-reward, or will they all be injected when the event ends.

Had the honor of taking down Mr. Paul this evening right after thinking "there's no WAY I'm going to even find a dev at 1AM on a Sunday"

[Suspect]

I'm assuming the PGI tagged NGNG guys running around don't count in this. I ran into Sean Lang a few times yesterday and was able to secure a kill on him but have received nothing.

[Creovex]

I can't complain about the event.. I am happy we had something. A chance to see more PGI ingame is always a plus.
