InsaneQR.7412 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Dear Anet and Forum Members Sad that the budget cuts hit lifes of so many people. Especially sad to receive the message about Gaile, Mathew and Josh. Long living members of our community and hard working devs for years. If it is possible: Would you mind Placing a statue for as their tribute into LA? A Frog, a barefoot, whatever may suit these three best. With all the names of all dev members that sadly had to leave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriOri.8724 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 A statue is the _least_ ANet can do for them. A lot of very senior employees no longer work for Anet (though I do not know how many of them volunteered to leave), tons of talent was lost today, talent that cannot easily be replaced, if at all.

Teon.5168 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Sad day for the game and the people who worked on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I can't believe a talent like Josh Foreman was let go. What are they thinking? Matthew and Gaile will be sorely missed, as well. Sad, sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 If they do a tribute to Josh it should really be a rock that kills you if you jump on it, or a piece of ground that vanishes if you stand there too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGirl.2370 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm so mad over Josh leaving, he was the only dev who tried to make this game more challenging and less monotone. Plus, SAB was his project, we were already not going to see W3 and 4 for a loooong time, with him gone now it's even more less likely to ever happen. And how in the world do you fire devs that have been with the company for 15 years +/- ... Goodness how I hate NCsoft now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Over 100 Devs let go. Truly a tragedy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Tribute suggestions: * Josh Foreman: JP that ends before it begins, (from @"Danikat.8537") rock that kills you if/when you jump on it, piece of ground that vanishes if you stand there too long * Mathew: a barefoot statue (from @"InsaneQR.7412") * Gaile: a frog statue (from @"InsaneQR.7412") * ANet Ben: Change the name of Arkk in Fractal 100/CM only to "Chill Step Coder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTrogdor.7892 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 There is an NPC in Lions Arch that is a reference to Josh Foreman. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Foreman_Joshua I went there a bit ago to see if anyone else was around but it was just me there. There was another NPC that had his look in Dry Top. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Foreman_Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Honestly I teared up when I saw Gaile post her goodbye on Twitter. Made me so sad. Ben being gone too... Basically our two links to the devs are entirely gone and that is a shame in and of itself too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsa.3951 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I’m not worry for those talented and skilled devs they will get hired on the spot I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a tragedy. :cry: Its a tragedy alright, they are out of a job, and we may be out of a game. What the heck is NCsoft thinking? Oh nvm i get it, if you dont have 5 million players you are expendable. Oh and you talented devs go to blizzard they are looking for developers for 4 diablo projects atm.

Teratus.2859 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I fully support this.. I want to see a giant frog statue.. A giant foot statue.. And a giant clock statue with a massive pile of broken corpses at the base.. Edit: I know the last one is morbid I've a dark sense of humor and humor is my coping mechanism when stuff gets me down.. like these layoffs have.

Gehenna.3625 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 People get fired everyday. It's a sad reality and I certainly feel for the people who got fired, but a statue? They didn't die you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I wouldn't want a statue either, but a NPC here and there would be nice, Josh for example already has one and a few of the old devs in GW had. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Gaile's ranger with the frog pop up with maybe a daily buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
