The combo was necromancer's mark of pain and warrior's hundred blades. If you could cluster the enemy team and coordinate the marks to all be on different targets, then everyone presses hundred blades at the same time. Poof.

For all the strong passion and great ideas one player has in one direction, another player will feel the exact opposite. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to satisfy people with very different goals and desires, and not letting an update for one type of player hurt another player’s experience. Also to make sure not only the loudest voices are heard.

It’s called Desert Bus. You drive a bus in the desert in real time for 8 hours, constantly correcting the steering or you crash and are towed back to the start. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Burger [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Kingdoms of Heckfire, Single City, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Narrative Design [B]Answer[/B]: Whopper Waifu: A story-driven visual novel where you are a burger and date other burgers but it has a morality scale where the bad ending is the player becoming a burger eating cannibal.

During a regular Tomes from the Crypt event, something went horribly wrong with the gathering node spawning and the ENTIRE WORLD MAPS filled up with crypt nodes. Players couldn’t teleport or do raids because the map spots were filling up too fast. Y’all had a great sense of humor about it. [B]Name[/B]: ATA-Ermine [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]:Smash Monsters, Kingdoms at War, Single City, [B]Department[/B]: Engineering [B]Answer[/B]: On Smash Monsters players started suddenly seeing monsters they didn’t own, it was pretty clear they had access to monsters from their clan members. The monsters couldn’t actually be used in combat, but it caused quite a stir. A game designer looked right at me, and asked me if I’d accidentally swapped users when sending messages back from the server. I was so confident I actually bet him that wasn’t the issue. Turns out… yea… I’d swapped users whenever they helped each other with timers. I lost that bet.

My story is that I spilled mustard on the computer and I’m sticking to it.

Oops. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Jace [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Kingdoms at War, Party in My Dorm [B]Department[/B]: Design [B]Answer[/B]: One time on Kingdoms at War when we released a new emoji spell, some players were reporting seeing a Banana instead of the intended emoji. This confused our team but apparently it was related to a long forgotten banana emoji that had been made with the text “There's always gold in the banana stand”. That then led us to create the Victory Banana emoji spell given out for top finishes in Competitions ___________________________________________________ [SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000][I][B]What's the most unusual inspiration you've drawn from, for a game idea?[/B][/I][/COLOR][/SIZE] [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Ripley [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Party in My Dorm, Kingdoms at War, Witch Arcana, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Live Operations [B]Answer[/B]: Some of the best ideas I’ve ever had came to me in strange dreams I can’t quite remember. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Mark [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: All [B]Department[/B]: Product [B]Answer[/B]: A lot of the trade economy and furniture is based on my experiences playing Diablo and Everquest and dropping items in front of people to trade. We wanted to create a unique experience where people had to be socially connected to trade to recreate that feeling of connecting with another player rather than a dull and mechanical auction house. ___________________________________________________ [B][I][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000]If you could swap roles with any video game character for a day, who would it be and why?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B] [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Burger [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Kingdoms of Heckfire, Single City, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Narrative Design [B]Answer[/B]: Being Cooking Mama for a day sounds great.

Also getting to 3k trophies in Clash Royale was a big deal for me because I crumble like apple pie in high-stakes PVP.

[B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Strange [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Heckfire, Witch Arcana, Kingdoms at War, Party in My Dorm [B]Department[/B]: Design [B]Answer[/B]: Finding a bizarre broken team combo in the early days of Guild Wars 1 that more or less deleted the entire enemy team if you executed it correctly.. The combo was necromancer's mark of pain and warrior's hundred blades. If you could cluster the enemy team and coordinate the marks to all be on different targets, then everyone presses hundred blades at the same time. Poof. We held the hall of heroes until we collapsed from exhaustion. I think they patched it soon after that.

This was a particularly noteworthy one for me because it was personally very challenging and I had so much to learn. I think I could go higher if I had more time to devote but other games are calling. ___________________________________________________ [B][I][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000]If you could bring any in-game item or ability into the real world, what would it be?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B] [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Ripley [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Party in My Dorm, Kingdoms at War, Witch Arcana, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Live Operations [B]Answer[/B]: Sleeping immediately whenever you want to.

For all the strong passion and great ideas one player has in one direction, another player will feel the exact opposite. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to satisfy people with very different goals and desires, and not letting an update for one type of player hurt another player’s experience. Also to make sure not only the loudest voices are heard. It’s a super difficult balance, we’re constantly making mistakes and learning from them, but we’ll never stop trying. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Burger [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on:[/B] Kingdoms of Heckfire, Single City, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Narrative Design [B]Answer[/B]: Keeping track of the 10,000 browser tabs you have open constantly as a designer. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Mark [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on:[/B] all [B]Department[/B]: Product [B]Answer[/B]: Designers are trying to make the game fun for as many people as possible but there are always thousands and thousands of people trying to exploit and break the game. There are so many mechanics I think would be fun and would love to build that won’t work in a multiplayer game where people will find ways to break the mechanics. It’s so hard but also more fun when it comes together. ___________________________________________________ [B][I][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000]Describe the most memorable reaction you've seen from a player enjoying your game.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B] [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Ripley [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Party in My Dorm, Kingdoms at War, Witch Arcana, Kingdoms at War [B]Department[/B]: Live Operations [B]Answer[/B]: Someone wrote and recorded a song about a game I worked on once! It was really sweet of them, I still remember the lyrics. Also players finding each other and getting married is always really affirming about the type of games and spaces we’re trying to create, even if we were only a small part of it. [B]Name[/B]: [ATA] Frog [B]Game(s) you’ve worked on[/B]: Kingdoms at War, Party in My Dorm, Kingdoms of Heckfire, Witch Arcana [B]Department[/B]: Narrative Design [B]Answer[/B]: I love checking into the Party in My Dorm and Kingdoms at War forums to see our players working on detailed lore guides, character guides, beautiful fan art, and more.

Two friends and I (Horde - lv 29 holy paladin, lv 29 protection paladin, lv 21 firefrost mage) were rushing through Alliance territory to get to a dungeon. We ran into a lv 58 Alliance death knight that decided we were easy targets to pick off… but boy were they wrong! We couldn’t hurt them, obviously, but they couldn’t put us down either. I was blinking around as the mage, trying to get away, but the DK kept death gripping me back into combat. The pallies took turns setting lay on hands to prevent our deaths. After an arduous 30 minute battle, the DK finally gave up.
