Director: Good Afternoon everyone. How is the game going?
Analyst: We noticed an increase of playing time since the 7-day event ended.
Director: Excellent. It seems the players have already forgot, and they’ll just keep playing as usual.
Player: We have not forgot..
Director: How did you get in here?
Player: The meeting was on my calendar..
Community Manager: Sorry sir. I sent him the calendar series of our meeting, but it would be good to hear what he has to say.
Director: OK go on..
Player: While we appreciate the attempts to bring back 7-day events, you know it was a fail. What are you going to bring back next, 20-Iso as a reward?
Director: 20-Iso reward?
Player: Yes, there was a time the PVE node rewards were not static and you could “win” 20-Iso instead of one of the node rewards
CFO:: That sounds like profit! Team let’s start looking into this. This kid is onto something..
Player: ::Sigh..:: Last time I was here, you kicked me out because I asked about Chasm. I’m going to ask again, what are you doing about him?
Developer 2: We have released new characters to effectively deal with him, such as, Hit Monkey and Wong
Player: How exactly does Wong counter Chasm?
Developer 2: Wong has a passive that triggers once an enemy is down, he keeps them down
Player: No, he does not. You just described the recently released Kamar-Taj support that can be equipped to Wong
CFO:: I made the last minute decision to turn this ability into profit
Analyst: While the sales for this support are not as high as projected, we did OK
Player: You likely would have sold more if the supports were communicated first before the rollout
Marketing: Nonsense! We communicate everywhere! Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Discord, Reddit, and even MySpace!
Player: What about the Forums?
Director: What forums?
Community Manager: Sir, you know that place where players can chat about the game
Marketing: The forums are #57 on our list of places to communicate!
Developer 2: Our plan is to rollout Supports in PvP as a counter to Chasm
Player: ::Shakes head:: Sooo instead of just giving Chasm a bit of a rebalance, you’re going to completely change the game by rolling out Supports in PVP? What’s your obsession with this guy?
Developer 1: He was our first. You always love your first
Developer 2: We think Supports in PvP will be the solution
Player: Don’t do this. A lot of players won’t live with the hurt
Developer 1: A lot of developers don’t have a choice, I do.
Player: And for that you’re willing to lose everything?
Developer 1: Supports isn’t everything. The counter characters, the rebalances and all the stuff we got. That ain’t everything. There’s a lot more counters than this.
Player: Before there were reasons not to nerf I could understand, but I don’t understand this. Even if we win, what have we won? The players are still gone. Why can’t you change your coding, everybody else does?
Developer 1: Cause I’m a developer! That’s how Chasm was made. That’s what you rostered. We can’t change what Chasm is.
Player: [Softly] Yes you can.
Developer 1: We can’t change anything. All we can do is just go with what we got.
Player: We can’t go with what we have. You’ve read the forums. It’s suicide! You’ve seen Chasm, you know how strong he is! WE CAN’T WIN!
Developer 1: No maybe you can’t win. Maybe the only thing you can do is just take everything he’s got. But to beat him, you’re gonna have to kill him, and to kill him he’s gotta keep reviving in front of you, and to do that he’s gotta be willing to die himself. I don’t know if we’re ready to do that. I don’t know. I don’t know. We cannot nerf him..
Director: Enough! Send him away
Player: I can let myself out
Director: Oh, we don’t mean the building. We’re sending you away
::Director shines blue and sends the Player Away::
Developer 1 – Kang (Rama-Tut): Finally! That pest was getting on my nerves!
Analyst 1 – Kang (Scarlet Centurion): Sounds like we will need to speed up the next phase much quicker than we anticipated
Director – Kang (Immortus): Indeed. Let’s show these players how we’ll “support” them!
::Screens zooms out showing a room full of Kangs laughing loudly!::
