I have no idea what you are talking about to be honest.

Ill give some more detail.

2 PGI employees show up in our match. They move to a capture point (yay Conquest) and then go AFK (finally DC'ng) about halfway through the match.

Hm - so do you think those 2 PGI employees are playing for fun?

They don't maybe they crosschecked server statistics or else

If you are really worried, take a screenshot and file a ticket.

I expect they were testing something. One match derailed is a pretty small price to pay.

But that was *MY* MATCH.

(Alternative humor response: PGI machines crash playing their game.)

I was just curious if others have seen this. I thought it was kind of funny that one of them was in a quad Guass Direwhale.

Maybe Russ walked into the office

a PGI dev did once killed a mate - the dev was in the backend while doing that. (maybe the wrong server command )

It's been so long since I have seen a Dev in a game I actually question if having seen one in the past was real.. You know....rumored to exists but not proven?

On topic though...disconnecting from a game from time to time or having to go afk is normal for anyone for many reasons. Why would you think it isn't normal or wouldn't happen with devs?

Not sure what you are trying to imply.

Ha ha.... I was able to get a kill on a dev a few days ago, and I got another match with 12 assist and lived in the same night :-) However, no cockpit item for the kill because it wasn't kill a dev weekend anymore. :-) I think they should give the hanging item at all times because seeing a dev in the game has been very rare for me, killing a dev has only happened once in over a year for me. I got lucky, I knew he was in game and on the other team, but I didn't try to hunt him down at all cost. I was just in the right spot, at the right time and in my Jegar with 3 Ultra AC/5s. Needless to say his Cat didn't last long under my cross hairs :-)

Wasnt trying to imply anything, was just curious if anyone else had seen the behavior. 1 DC, I get it. 2 DC from PGI employees...

Hmmm

[Dracol]

PGI Dev 1: "Hey Bob, let's get a drop in, I need a break."
PGI Dev 2: "Great idea. I'm getting a little burned out making maps as well."
PGI Dev 1, 2 minutes after drop "Oh crap, the boss is coming down the hall."
PGI Dev 2: "Bail, Bail, Bail. Can't let the man know we're playing our game on work time."
