TrailTurtle Update

edited October 2013 in Super News Network
Hey all,

We've had some great rounds of bug fixes and new options over the past few weeks -- I know some of you costume fanatics, especially, have liked what Cryptic North's been putting out. I'm proud and grateful to say that I've been excited lately too, and for another reason, too: These are the first updates I've worked on as an Assistant Product Manager.


A little while ago, I got promoted up from being a CM. As an APM, my duties are expanded to be more involved in troubleshooting and getting updates out on time, and coordinate even more with the dev team.

So, how much is that going to change things? Not much. I'm definitely not hanging up my cape, that's for sure. I'm still going to be the point person for any community feedback, troubleshooting, etc. Alongside my new duties I'll still do forum trawls and keep talking with you guys. I'll definitely still be doing livestreams occasionally (especially for content that can use lots of playtesting), along with other community-centric stuff.

For blogs and such, I'll be getting help from the community team to post frequent news updates for the game, so look forward to seeing a few more names on the site. As always, I'll be there to respond to feedback from the community.

Keep flying, heroes -- we've got some good stuff lined up for the rest of the year, I know I'm getting excited whenever the devs show me the latest updates. I think you'll love what we're planning for 2014, too... stay tuned!

    Congrats on your promotion mate. I'm sure this will be a benefit for everyone CO-side.

    On a second note, any clue why the CO Launcher redirects us to the STO Forums as we use the link? That's kinda silly for it to do that.

    This is being worked on, thanks everyone who pointed it out.

    Oddly, I haven't worn a tie since I got the promotion. I do wear ties occasionally, but the dress code hasn't changed any.

    (Fun fact: I'm usually least casually-dressed guy at my work. :P)

    TT got more power! As long as you listen to the players more than the spreadsheets we'll be fine.

    You're lucky I'm not in charge. Luchador masks would be mandatory.

    I think the game just gets harder for him until he gets new gear and his own team of sidekicks.

    No, we're not losing TT. To quote from his own post, at the very beginning of this thread:

    Heh -- thing is, I'm going to be spending the first few months in The Stupid Phase, where I'm scrambling to figure out exactly what I'm doing. More like I de-leveled to Level 6 again, but with a boost to my stats and new power options...
