Dear Mr Stahl - Let`s have a Dev-on-Line event day!

I am sure that everyone is pretty busy making season 7 but may I suggest a special event for the season 7 launch:
A day when everyone at Cryptic from you on down plays the game with the players for the day.
So you could name your Fleet`Team Cryptic` and every dev and employee would have there name in pink or some flashy color that makes you stand out - same for a uniform.
And just don`t hang around ESD or DS9 - actually get in on the Q`s with the players and play on their teams. It does not matter if you kick butt or have your butt kicked - just being out there should be a real treat for the players.
I am sure that this kind of all-day Dev-on-Line event would be quite a moral booster for the player base.
Any comments you have would be appreciated.
Thanks

Other than that, OP's suggestion is a good idea, IMHO.
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Why would that be - you would not like to see them in game?

No I think they should avoid any pvp - but of course that would be up to them.
I don't think the dev's are the ones with the Ego here :rolleyes:
You realy think they will come in PVP without god-mode ??
This. I can't even remember the last dev I killed that didn't have it. Oh yeah I remember now Helping Snix with the Vo'Quv meganerf.

And before you jump in, "having a non-dev account" is different from "actually playing the game".
I agree with you here. I remember reading an article about the failed MMO Auto Assault that said all the Devs at the company did not like playing the game. I am kinda wondering if that is going on with STO.
Confidence in ones own skill,limited as it may be,isn't the same as 'ego'....win or lose,I don't care as long as the match was fun.

Great to hear but I am hoping that Mr Stahl can make it a Formal Day long event! You will get paid for too! (I hope!!)
The point is for players to `see` the team out in the game - so you have to be noticed by some identifiers
I know it will be a pain for you guys because of the massive attention you will draw but it would just be for 1 day - i am sure you guys could handle it:D
Every time they pop their heads in ESD it turns into a mad house flame war. I could imagine if all of them popped in. :eek:
Where is the source on this tidbit?
I see two at least in this thread saying they play regularly, and would assume this holds true for most of them in general.
Is there something I missed?
Edit: On topic, I would love to see some devstypepeople flying around in game from time to time, helps foster a sense of community I believe.

How did you get that "Head Trauma" anyway?

It added spice to the game when done infrequently and randomly.

Then you are doing it wrong. Orions can be very good at the ground STFs. Use your charms on the right borg does wonders...
I am talking about a publizied event where even Mr Stahl joins in the game for the day - so pretty much everyone they can spare.
It mat cause a little chaos in some places but overall it would be a gret way to kick off Season 7
To be honest,with all the bitterness caused by unpopular changes to the game,I'm not sure if the player/dev interaction in game will be all that friendly.There is a lot of discontent amongst players and resentment towards the devs.For me it would be very hard not to act angry at Stahl if I were to meet him,in real life or in game,I lost all respect for this man due to his past actions and comments.
While I'm sure that more personel interaction between players and devs can help restore relations,the question is: are the devs willing to do what needs to be done to accomplish that,and is the STO community prepared to look beyond past mistakes?
Cryptic used to think that a good player/dev relation made for better games....

Errr, where have you been during S5?
I was on ESD one day, and suddenly, Tumerboy pops in. After some chatting, I make my way into his instance, go to Club 47. Some people are asking questions, but I'm jokingly challenging him to a duel because "you killed me with Earl Grey shrimp", which was a direct and very intentional reference to his post "Shrimp, Earl Grey, hot." in a thread congratulating him for being so responsive or something.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
I don't want to list what went wrong, but personall i have been dissapointed over and over again since February 2010. I have lost any enthusiasm or anticipation for their work or goals.
Even if that day would go peacefully i don't get the point of it anyway.
I hope my english is understandable, since most of the time i find it difficult to find the right words in my native language.
Would you really be rude to DStahl in person, if you happened across him in the real world... ?
...over a game...??
Perhaps a reevaluation of ones priorities is due... ???
I realize that on the internetz, being 'rude' has apparently become the norm, but are we so involved in our own self-worth and self-importance that we'd allow it to carry across to our 'real-world' lives...?
I'm not all that crazy about many of the things that have happened with the game from its inception either...,
...but I most certainly will not let my frustrations and disappointment over a video game dictate how I behave toward another person in my daily life.
Especially someone whom I've never had the pleasure to have actually met.
Perhaps I'm too 'old world' in that regard, but God helps us if that truly does become the 'Norm'.

It happens a lot during social events BranFlakes plans from time to time. Sometimes there's no party but just a Q&A session and some whinning about minor features of the game, but it's not always te case. Yesterday we had a dev during the BST time tribble event and it's been very civil and polite. There was no dev bashing, just a few questions some other players answered.
So I think such an event would be possible, but I don't think the devs should make a "social" event if they don't want to get involved in what you described. A day where they play with the rest of us or just pop undines or borg drones on EDS and qonos might be enough. If they want they can try to socialize but it's at the risk of their mental sanity.
