I think it would be fun to at least get to go up against the guys behind the scenes at least once before release. Anyone else think this would be fun or does anyone have any thoughts on this? |

It'd be fun, but they always manage to lose when trying against players in EVE  |

I was just thinking for the fun factor side of it. For us and I would imagine for them too. |

Devs usually aren't that good at their games... But the dev h4x would make up for it... :) |

Come on guys don't bash them. Hopefully they respond to this. They have more testing abilities than us. They know the best possible fits period. I was only thinking it would be fun. Not to taunt anyone. |

CCP Devs don't use haxx when playing, as a rule. From what I've seen (in Eve) they play in one of three modes...
1. Incognito, as a regular player. You wouldn't know they were a dev at all, and they are not allowed to let you know. No haxx allowed.
2. As a CCP Dev. They may have unlimited budgets, but again no haxx.
3. Role-playing. Here they may use unique items or abilities (such as Sansha motherships) but in this mode their objective is to provide content for players, not to win.
They do have an "internal affairs" division which keeps an eye on these things, following a rather infamous scandal a few years back. |

I would be very surprised if they did know the best fits. In fact, I think they would be disappointed if there was a "best" fit.
The CCP philosphy is more to chuck a load of options at the players, see what they do with it, and then buff or nerf items to keep things roughly balanced. |

Best as in fits that compliment that players style of play... i would imagine what works for one isnt always going to work for everybody else.. i have tried so many different tank fits its just rediculous lol its always fun learning somethin new tho |

I have challenged them many times in the past. So far, they have continued to decline my offers.
However, I do ask a question: who would take them on? How would we select the team? We can't have everyone fight them at once for obvious reasons. |

Yeah, its not like they are staging a lowsec roam and leaking the system names on as many channels as possible.
This would need a bit more setup. |

I'm not bashing anyone - If i was a dev i'd have special super secret stuff too - and it is in EVE, coincidently today:

There is an article on IGN currently, detailing some of the CCP fits. Nice to know!

I don't click on links in forums. I wa just bringing this up for the fun factor. I'm not sure how to pick. I guess set up a beta event where it goes on thru a set ammount of hours and you can only play them once maybe. Not sure how to regulate this. |

True! I'm on 1. and we used 2. only during events such as Gamescom. We don't jump in incognito with all skills at level 5 in a public server.
Would be nice a match VS players, using a normal toon :) |

Yeah, reminds me of an hour ago, I had this teammate with an 'Icelandic' name. Made me think of option #1. Added that guy to my watch list! ( -.- ) But seriously, a comradely skirmish match on a 5 cannon map would be nice.. |

To this day, I remember back in WoW beta when the devs and gms starting raining down infernals on our pour souls, how pretty much everybody banded together in hopes of stopping them to no avail. It was the most fun I had in that game.
Now imagine this your merc's final match corp war event, all corps are set up for a match against Jovians. Only 3 player showsup on the Jovian side. Ha! 16 of us against 3 of them? The battle is in a small roundish map with little cover. Jovian gets a 30 second head start where he summons a Jovian tank. Your team fights desperately, using all the tricks you learned in beta, you even try to coordinate your whole squad to fire their swarms at once. It deals a good 8% damage to the beast. Maybe this way you manage to even down its shield, only to see the shield repair kick in. In the end it is hopeless and your squad is decimated. Make it so a player can only participate once and reward everyone who participated in a Jovian survivor reward. For added awesomeness announce this event as a regular corp war but forget to announce the match ups. |
