>Blizzard

I used to respect this company but...

>>136098437
How far along are they actually in making new character models for WoW?

Oh, also, pic related is a small library that I was working on at home last weekend. I just opened it up again to finish it for work on monday when I remembered I'm fucked... so I came here to make this thread ;_;

>>136098651
I don't know, art dept is in a different building than I was in, and I wasn't working on wow 1

>posting a blurred screenshot of visual studio

yeah, this seems legit.

>identifying information

>>136098829
That's actually not visual studio. I can take another if you want.

>>136098784

>taking a photo of your computer screen

I doubt you even know how to code if you don't know how to FUCKING SCREENSHOT.

so what's this new MMO they're wanting to do?

details

>take a blurry picture of a computer screen
PROOF

What's Titan?

plz be real i wanna shitstorm im bored

Will Ret unfuck itself this next expansion or did they just bukkake all over it some more?

>>136098924
Uploading code and sharing information that tons of people inside could figure out themselves are two different things. I said in the OP I'm not uploading code.

>>136098935
I heard the name 'titan' after it was leaked on the internet, but I'm assuming that's the project I was working on (if you're a lowly dev you don't go to meetings, or even see the art unless you're implementing a library, you're only responsible for neat code, compilable-code and optimized code that works... plus like a fuckton of self-documentation).
Everyone in my 'group' at work (guys I have lunch with, etc) decided that we were working on wow2, just from the code we've been working. It's defiantly an online pseudo-fantasy game, from even the names of files / databases we work with.

Did you have fun?

Yo, OP, that was two years ago. Be careful, they might handle shit differently now.

>>136099404
more details on this titan project or i call your whole story bullshit

>>136099476
They fired him, then they'd have the gall to take him to court over trivial information that cannot be confirmed?

Good grief. Lay it on me, OP.

>>136099476
idk, a couple of the guys who lost their jobs and I went out to The Daily dose (yes, there's actually a bar with that name) and they basically told their life's story after they got drunk enough, including everything about where they worked, and what an asshole their boss was, with various drunken murder-schemes... compared to that I think I';m relativly safe.
>>136099624
I don't give a fuck about what you think, nor do I know what info you want, when you're given a file called 'old_god_time-whateverthefuck.cpp' you start to take the hints.

What do you know that they don't want us to know?

>>136099795
Assuming OP is legit, he can easily provide proof.

>>136099878
Please tell me anything you know about ret, its the only thing that will make or break me coming back.

>>136099878
full of horse shit

Have you had to code any weapons or anything for Titan? If so, what is their functionality.

>don't give name to stay anonymous
>give everything else needed to find you

>>136099878
Holy shit where is that bar. I must go there

Do you use windows?

I'm monitoring this thread.

But I haven't given a shit about Blizzard since Diablo 2 when they stopped making good games so I have no questions for you, OP.

Just hear for corporate drama.

So you basically clean up other peoples code? If you don't actually see art or the work in progress game how do you test and fix what you write?

>>136100317

QA department and internal/friends testing.

>>136099460
Yes, I joined blizzard right when wow was being released, to work on the burning crusade expansion pack. It's been the most fun I've ever had (I got the job out of university, basically my only experience now).
>>136099909
Well, basically the game takes place in the same universe as wow, but I couldn't say if it's actually a sequel to the game. I've seen the word azeroth a few times, and lots of names seem to have the same root-words.

In laymans terms, I'm working with 'code librarys' that other people have written, but I hvae to make things work with them. For example, the last big project that I worked on was an algorithim to determine where an object should move in 3-d space, if it gets 'crushed' by two other objects that have a higher 'priority' than it. (eg; a moving platform squishes a dummy between a cliff, where does the dummy go?)

Would firing coders suggest the project is nearing completion?

Just curious, as a current CompSci student, how did getting a job right out of school go for you? Did you have a lot of work experience before, or did you have a portfolio of programming you had done previously?

what kind of games do you like and what is your favorite game ever

also did you ever play anything you coded? If yes, how fun was it

Why are you assuming you worked on Titan and not the next WoW expansion? Titan's universe is unrelated to WoW

Why Diablo 3 looks like a 10 years old game? Console version? Too long development?

How much did you get paid?

People get fired people. Stop playing the fucking heart strings.

So many reasons they could fire him, none being activision because remember fuckwads THEY DON'T OWN BLIZZARD.

Overstaffed. OP said week-by-week work.
Just plain cuts. They want to push less to do more.
OP maybe was shit. He won't say that but nobody likes to think they are shit.

>>136100608
I've seen the full code running on our testing rigs, but it's not really a 'game' at this stage, it lacks an interface, and any real interactivity, other than what you can touch.
I think that they were planning on merging our office with the one beside us (basically tearing down a floor-divider), because they basically did the same stuff, and we were always running back and forth.
>>136100661
I was originally one and a half years into a math major, but I realized that there weren't any jobs out there that needed ONLY a math major (INB4 300k starting, etc). eg: jobs need degrees in both math AND chem, sop I switched to CIS (basically compSci with more coding). One of my lab monitors from my first-year Java class that I still kept in touch with was working for blizz at the time as a dev, and he got his boss to hire me onto the same team.
>>136100829
Yay, real questions!
Favourite game ever is HALO, I was soo good at that game... I played small java games when I was in university, and I played wow when I was working on it.
>>136101076
No idea. Almost all the coding we did had to be 100% efficient, because our bottleneck is 4 year-old PCs from bestbuy with integrated GPUs, they probably have the same challenge.

What was most fun about your job?
Was there any teamwork involved?
