Clark 15B Design Team meeting..
EA. So what’s on the cards for today’s meeting?
Dice designer 1. “We have had many reports that the Clark 15B is over powered and had a large number of requests to tone the Clark down; I think we should do something.”
Dice hands over the report to EA.
EA. “Looking at these figures I think we can increase the complaints by 80%”
Dice designer 2. “We could always add PK rockets to it!”
EA. “No not subtle enough”
Dice designer 2. “What about a telescopic sight?”
EA. “No, we need to get to the heart of the problem.. What do you think the players would dislike more?”
Dice designer 3. “We could always nerf the Clark and do what the players want!
EA exec looks at the designer..
EA. “You’re FIRED”
Dice designer 3 exits the building..
EA. “Come on guys give me some ideas on how to upset more players.. we have to get these figures up by 80%...”
Dice designer 1. “I can’t really see what more we can do to it. We increased the range, we made it into a sniper shotgun. Only thing we haven’t done it turned it into an automatic shotgun.”
With that last statement the EA exec’s eyes lite up. “Good idea!”
Dice Designer 4. “But that will make the Clark overpowered and nearly impossible to combat against.”
EA. “Now you’re thinking. Get it done.”
