Is he seriously boasting about a simple, logical, obvious-to-anyone thing like that? Even though the concept is easy and obvious, WAR's impl like the rest of the game isn't so hot.
WoW added it in patch 3.1 I think, so what. There are hundreds of changes made in a WoW patch that are like that. Little things that might help people play faster.
He'd take credit for the "invention" of the mouse button that depresses.

Almost everything about this damn game depresses. Someone needs to remind Mythic that WoW ripping off WAR's queue system doesn't make WAR any better, it makes WoW better.

Paul Barnett: What? You think everything is horrible?
The MMO Gamer: Well, not everything, but I can find cause to gripe about many things.
Take your game, for example.
Paul Barnett: Right?
The MMO Gamer: One of the reasons for that burnout I mentioned to you earlier was the queue system, for instanced PvP combat…
Paul Barnett: Where you can join a scenario from anywhere in the world?
The MMO Gamer: Correct.
Paul Barnett: The one that was so good it’s been added to other games? That one?
The MMO Gamer: Well done on getting that right, even though that's probably the whole point of a MMO. But having scenarios as the most efficient way of character advancement drained players from the world which then made it feel more empty. That was a huge problem. Plus scenarios-grinding was the only not-fully-insane way to grind out lvls for Rank 3 and 4. Paul Barnett: But we got the idea of scenarios right! The MMO Gamer: Ideas are only one piece of a very big puzzle. Like public quests tha- Paul Barnett: The one that was so good it’s been added to other games? That one? The MMO Gamer: Yes, PQs were a great idea. But again, Mythic's implementation of them was poor and short-sighted. There were too many PQs that didn't scale to the number of players in the area, which in turn made them impossible to complete unless you had the right number of players. Tie that in with players going off to scenarios so that most PQs tended to stay empty and you've got a wasted opportunity. Paul Barnett: But the ideas we've got in WAR are great! The MMO Gamer: I don't play ideas - I play those ideas contained in game systems designed by Mythic. The execution was rubbish. Just look at RvR whe- Paul Barnett: War is everywhere! The MMO Gamer: The fuck it is, and you know it.

I really really need to get this guy into an interview. Desperately.
Odds of him being at AGC? Basically zero.
Depressing.

Why can't some crazy-ass batshit insane 48-hours at a PC bang playing Lineage Korean erupt out of the crowd he's speaking to and just nutshot this greasy son of a whore?

What's the chance we get our money back as the game was obviously broken as their design manager stated.

Wow. That was....just amazing. The things that were broken for the Americans are STILL broken. I like how the interpreter tried to stay far away from crazy English guy.

When he said "Korea" I thought he was in North Korea and borrowed Kim Jong Ill's sunglasses.
THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

It took me read through brokentoys.org to get that Barnett saying "WAR is coming to Korea" probably wasn't the most sensitive way he could have phrased it.

I don't want to watch it, but can you tell me if he is squinting while wearing a conical hat and plastic buck teeth while saying "aaah so" a lot?

That's kind of a running joke though with the WAR presentations. I'm not trying to defend the content or anything but the crappy white sunglasses is a long-established schtick with the WAR team in general, not just Paul.

Yeah, but did they really need to make the translator wear the glasses? I felt really bad for her just having to translate for Paul but to be forced to wear sunglasses too? It is amazing though, despite my knowing what he was going to be saying I was still shocked by it.

I think the choice of words did it for me. You can't make this shit up
"ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE BROKEN FOR THE AMERICANS, WE'VE FIXED!"
and then the attempt to describe dwarves as " SHORT MEN WITH BEARDS". /wince
He did not prepare a speech at all and just went with it. Just a random spray of words that he felt like shooting off.

It'd be like starting a presentation off in Texas with "ALIENS ARE COMING OVER THE BORDER AND YOU NEED TO SHOOT THEM", which I expect to see when Barnett heads up the relaunch of Imperator.

He was also louder than usual in that "WHAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH LET ME SAY IT A LITTLE LOUDER FOR YOU"

That's his philosophy towards life -- i.e. "let's just wing it". Unfortunately for EA that philosophy is reflected in the game.

APB is that Grand Theft Saints Row MMO that we saw a pic of here a long time ago, isn't it?
I recall the guy in the pic was wearing three hats, and one of his legs must have been much warmed than the other, as he had rolled only one leg of his pants up.

That event sounds ripe for a pie throwing terrorist attack to me.
No, shoes are the weapon of choice today. Pies are too unwieldy and anyways, it's a waste of good pie. If baked goods must be used, I'd go with a fairly heavy armor piercing fruitcake. Something that would leave a dent. OH man. This was good. thanks.
