Thread: AO Universe Developer Interview #X - vhab!

  1. #1

    Funcom employee AO Universe Developer Interview #X - vhab!

    Not *technically* a dev interview but awesome none-the-less, the AO Universe guys recently sat down with former intern for Anarchy Online vhab to discuss his work and experiences with the team. As a personal aside, working with vhab was an utter pleasure and we were really thrilled to have him on the team - The work he did was outstanding and we really hope to have the chance to work with him again in the future. =)

    Enough rambling though - The interview can be found here: http://www.ao-universe.com/viewtopic.php?t=4517

    Enjoy!

    To devs: You failed redesigning MPs as NTs with pets. I want my debuffer back.
    Dreamer: Basically - I wish THIS much effort was put in to ALL profs rebalance docs.

    Kintaii: Genele is more hardcore than you, your guildmates, and anyone else you've ever played with
    Anarrina: Trust me, I'm not that scary in real life.

    Based on what I read/saw, I'm under the impression the final one will be different.

    Lazy: the caste system of ao today is clan > omni > wildlife > neuts.

    Gatester: Crats have the best toolset for supporting a team in PVE.
    Aramsunat: WRONG! The team supports the crat if the crat is unable to solo (which is rare)!

    Thanks for posting this over here Kintaii, and thank you again to Vhab for taking the time to go through the questions I asked on behalf of the entire AOU team (who aren't just guys.. but I will definitely let that slip go through without me making a big deal out of it ).

    So now, the obvious question:

    While you were at Funcom, was there any talk of integrating functionality of Nano Nanny and Clicksaver into the client, or a server-based Helpbot?

    I met Anarrina during the fan event just before I started my internship; let's say she gave me a good verbal whack to the head.
