Looks like they need more help. lol.
I hope the dev that will get hired can teach the team because from what is happening. They are trying their best but it is not enough. lol
Key Responsibilities:
· Drive a coherent technology roadmap from sometimes ambiguous requirements to support current and future game needs.
· Lead a team of engineers responsible for the development of New World’s core server technology.
· Coach your team members and grow their capabilities over time.
· Develop project plans and commitments for your team, then deliver consistently against those commitments.
· Triage, prioritization, and resolution of incoming live operations issues
· Be a champion for the player and create world-class tools and technology that empower developers.
You don’t have to be a developer to aknowledge issues in the game, while being a paying customer who is playing it. We are all some sort of live-testers, who aren’t getting paid.
I think people are too much of a smartass acting like you have to know how to fix stuff if you adress the issue. That basically kills every conversation. As a matter of fact, the devs are the ones who caused the bug, so obviously only they can fix it. But that doesn’t matter that you - as a customer and player of this game - aren’t allowed to adress the issue and discuss it on the forums.
Development Manager and Developer are two different jobs, but yeah looks like they are searching for more people working on the game overall.
I worked as a PO in the past which is similar from that job as far as I see.
Guess I’ll look into it thanks for pointing it out
EDIT: guess I am falling short on the whole game development part maybe I should start doing such things as side projects for getting some experience
It’s one thing to find/report bugs and another to know how to fix them. According to many people on the forums these bugs are “easy” fixes. Just because you play a game a shit ton does not make you qualified to comment on how easy it is to fix one.
There are lots of issues…and apparently a lot of forum posters who know these issues are easy to fix… I never once said anything about knowing/addressing there are issues, but it seems in every thread there are quite a few people who exclaim or infer that fixing things is easy… so to that I say:
Well it might not qualify you, but there is something like freedome of speech, so if somebody has the opinion that it is easy to fix you can’t even discuss their right to say or not say that. So whatever your argument is - and i agree that the qualification part is correct - you are wrong in your core assumption. People are allowed to say whatever they want whenever they want it as long as it doesn’t hurt any law or terms of use etc. and in that case it’s totally fine to have the opinion that it is easy to fix and there is no argument to tell them they can’t.
But i agree to you that it is annoying as F and doesn’t help anybody to act like they know something they can’t know.
well… I manage complex projects last 10 years. And I have a strong feeling that everything what is happening cannot be changed by simple decisions like we will hire a guy who can tell us what we should do.
Nowhere did I say people can’t say whatever they want… let’s get that clear.
I have no idea where you think I said that, but I didn’t. What I said was - here’s your chance to prove it. You have all these people who apparently know how easy coding is - well Amazon has a job for you!
And yes I can call people out for what they say if it is hyperbolic - especially if they have no actual experience coding for an actual game. To insinuate that ANY bug is easily fixable when you lack any experience dealing with such things is inane to say the least.
Until you have actually produced code for a game of this magnitude you really have no place determining whether something IS an easy fix. You can THINK something is easy to fix (opinion) but when you state that something IS easy to fix you are presenting a fact - which you cannot know unless you have the knowledge and experience on how to actually fix the issue.
So they decided to hire people they already should have had? Sounds about right. Devs must be jumping ship, needing replacement. Explains the absolute shit pace of development.
I would, but I have zero interest in joining any of the Amazon CORE and gender conference meetings. Force feeding their employees wokeness is not for me.
Too bad for that kid if he really got fired.
But… if I was his or her manager… maybe there’s also a chance I fired that employee with this kind of output. Every maintenance… less fixes and more bugs are coming. Hahaha
