I will be now reporting this post for harrassment, unless of course you can reply to my last post in a mature way. |

EvilShadow: Wow, reading from your post, a Game Designer is nearly a god and deserve at least a 100k salary!!! Jack Emmert is prolly all of what you descibe, but he is not only the Lead Designer, he is also a Manager (producer or whatever name other companies may use). Many LEAD designer are all of what you descibe, not even all of them are...most lowly designers are certainly not half of what you say! You are putting a LOT forward, half of the design team usually have issues with basic maths! They are still great designers and a welcome addition to the team. A designer is mostly responsible to make the game FUN and to complete the team. A LEAD designer is all what you said, and he also complete his design team at the same time, and maybe even more! I mean, LEAD designers are nearly Gods... Except those too stubborn that still put raiding as enforcement on everyone...nasty nasty folks! Not fun at all. I can forgive someone as Jack Emmert, since it is his manager side that crush his Lead Designer side, I ain't happy but I can understand that, but a Lead Designer that isn't on the management team should never have allowed raiding to be enforced on groupers, it is completely non-sense for the FUN and for the long-run health of the franchise. I am pretty sure that Zeb left CoH for some basic comon sense(Hamidon, accolades or IoP most likely, yet I just throw that as a supposition, from what I know, no proof), although he may or not have understand it and state it openly, this guy is great and even if he didn't stay long at CoH, his lost was bad. PS: You forget to say that a Game Designer need also to see to the morale of the troops, if the ambiance is shitty at work, the designers are not doing their job...they have to project the spirit...every designer should have a different way to get to this result (some staff can only be affected by a way or another), having 15 clowns is less efficient than having 3 clowns, 3 extremely kind peoples, 3 bad cops lashing and bitching yet caring, and so on...and they need to have quite a high motivation and believe in a higher purpose themselves, because everytime something goes wrong, the GD are there to take the hit and support the team...that is a VERY important part of been a GD. |

I don't mind people knowing nothing. It's only people like NeoJenova who think they know everything, and then they act all cocky who annoy me.  |

I recommend you make a list of all the people that are like this so we can black list them on this forum. you cant exactly get banned for speaking the truth can you? Oh and Anageth I see that mmorpg.com took down your rank too, we both lost 2 stars UnrealSWAT |

I think you'll find a great disturbance in the force if you quit the forum. it is in a delicate balance and if one of the best respected members was to go then what would everyone else do? UnrealSWAT Oh and i would like to add to the list that it has been worked out that Half life 2 if programmed in binary would only require a 400mhz to 800mhz cpu and no graphics card!!! |

But the cold fact is that the company are not willing to pay that much, so they need optimistic peoples who believe in the project and may miss a few of the points you underline. Not everyone can be a Game Designer. Granted. But a good lot of peoples can, far more than you believe! Also, in your description, the GD was doing someone else job, the knowledge of the team abilities and capabilities is related to dispatching the job, supervising it, ruling the folks around, and even if many GD does that job at least in part, in theory it is someone else job!
