Guild Wars 2

So I got to work today and sat down at my desk, turned on my computer and attempted to run a program. I encountered a well known bug that might not stop me from doing my job, but it is kitten annoying. I was quite frustrated by this so I went to my work place cafeteria to get a coffee.

When I get in there I look around and notice the 3 or 4 ladies behind the counter are busy making bacon and eggs to serve to people for breakfast…

..I was outraged. This team of people, spending their time, using our company resources to make bacon and eggs when I still bugs on my computer?! Are you kidding me! My work computer is way more important then making people breakfast.

I called each one of them over and told them to follow me. I lead them to my office and told them about the bug on my computer. I told them that I wanted it fixed right away.

I left them in my office so they could work on it. I feel better now. I mean, I don’t care WHO fixes my computer, I just want it fixed. I’m confident that when I get back to my office tomorrow, those cafeteria ladies will have my computer working great.

Almost. Could have done without the last two paragraphs, as the message is quite clear by that point.

You’ll get to work tomorrow, and find that your computer’s fried.

Fried computer, served over toast. Mmmmmm. Sounds delish.

I understand the satire and I have to say it’s quite good

They’ll have an Asura a Sylvari and a Norn by the morning

You need help with analogies apparently. It takes coders to make content, it takes coders to fix bugs, it takes coders to balance classes, it takes coders for about everything in a game world. So, in your analogy, if you had an IT guy upgrading the register at your work cafeteria, instead of fixing your work comp, it would work better.

The teams may be doing separate work on different things at anet, but they all contain people who can fill many positions. I don’t think anyone expects the voice actors to fix bugs, but I could be wrong.

Although they definitely should fix some of the dialogue and pronounciations… When i heard the word ‘quay’ pronounced in game as ‘kway’ i was shocked and confused. Maybe it’s something to do with American dialects but in the hundreds of dialects of English i’ve come across i’ve never heard it pronounced any way other than ‘key’.

Brillaint, OP, just brilliant. Couldn’t have implied it better myself. lol

You never know, the cafeteria ladies may just be able to fix your comp.

In the meantime, the IT guys are whipping up a mean breakfast in the cafeteria.

Makes you wonder what their armor artist/creators have been cooking? They haven’t fed you any of that cuisine since you started working there and you’ve been pretty starved for some new flavors. Non-trenchcoat and less dress/butt-skirty flavors, to be exact.

lol

nice OP, +1

True dat, plus the erroneous pronunciation of wrath as " rath"
