Colours on Alienware keyboards and mice??? Seriously???

I cannot believe that, with all the bugs that currently exist in the game, any time would be spent making Alienware gear twinkle in different colours.
This shows that cryptic still don't have a realistic grasp of what the players want.
Haven't spent any money on the game in a long time now because of TRIBBLE like this and I feel really good about it.

Each developer specializes in one particular part of the game. Some make environments, some make models, some create animations, etc. Some work on the UI, some program the engine, some write mission scripts, some write actual scripts (dialogue, etc.). And there's a lot more that I haven't even bothered to mention.
Then there's also the database engineers, network engineers, hardware maintenance, community relations, QA team.....
In other words, adding a feature like that has no bearing on whether or not your personal list of "pet-peeve" bugs is being fixed (or delayed) or not.
Just like PvP and canon. And your point is...?

I have alienware, and i like the fact the colours change. it makes me happy when i swap characters.
Your tears are delicious.
Now seriously, get a grip of yourself. It probably took about 5 minutes for someone to code it....
Oh. Well. I doubt the devs had much to do with that.
Fill in the blank with anything at all, including fixing bugs.
Of course I guess you can say they are punished by having bought overpriced stuff just because of the name.
This. Alienware's overpriced and overrated. Pay me $2000 and I will frakking build you a better-performing box for a third of what you'd pay for one of their premades.

I kinda love you.
joking BUT YOU CAN'T SEE THIS!
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
They already have been- they paid through the nose for an overpriced Dell with some "way cool junior" lights.
Blinking lights make a game good for you? I have a suggestion for you that will further enrich your playing experience. Attach a bell to your spacebar. I bet the game will go to the next level for you. Quite possibly the level above that, even.
Your premise is based on there being a dev that knows nothing of coding anything but one specific field. Such as making Alienware lights turning on and off. No. I'm sure each dev is capable of doing various tasks but is assigned to a particular task by management. Management should be assigning people to the things that matter. Things that affect the majority of the player base, not a small subsection.
Get the 3D artists on fixing on fixing bugs right away!
No, not THOSE bugs! Those don't count! Just the ones this guy cares about!
this. my new box cost about 1100 dollars and the only scrimp was the graphics card. the gtx 770 is the best bang for the buck, IMHO. you are not getting a much better processor that the i7 4770K CPU. a 2K budget would be a montser machine
I'll try and explain it anyway.
Many things in this game are projects the devs do on their own time. Things like the captain's table, doff system, android boff, and so on. One of the Devs probably has an alienware keyboard and wanted to use the lights so one night he was sitting at home and wrote the code to do it. It didn't cost Cryptic anything and the dev was never assigned to do it. It was a 'for fun' project, just like many other similar projects over the last 4 years.
Ur doin it rong.

Why should I be punished for making a purchase that does not directly impact the lives of those who dislike Alienware? While I will agree that they are overpriced, I don't see that as grounds to hate upon their customers. My Alienware laptop, while not perfect, performs its job admirably- if I needed more right now I would build my own desktop.
With that out of my system, I'm very much enjoying the color changes. It's a small gimmick, but it's fun and seems to work alright :P

It's expensive and popular and therefore bad.
[computerhipster]I have a Razor mouse and keyboard, but you probably haven't heard of them. [/computerhipster]
Considering we don't know how long this took, whether it was a side project or if the guy who didn't just had some spare time, it's too easy to complain that the time could have been spent better elsewhere when we really don't know anything about the effort involved and how the time could or could not have been spent elsewhere.
Fact: assigning 5 colors to an in-game happening doesn't require 7 Devs. Thats one guy's doing who works in the interface/game mechanic department.
Fact: every experienced programmer can do this in what? A few hours, testing included?
Next on Rant TV: wahhhh, Cryptic's Chef is cooking meals instead of fixing bugs. This game looses players.
This made my day, thank you
or he's a doom collector and hates stuff?
X51 deskstops start at $700, and mine works great.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!

Yep, the four logos from four crappy companies down there at the bottom.
if you think all four are crappy, why are you even here?
you know, because cryptic is one of the four logos.
