Support NeoGAF

Wait hitmann got banned? For what? What the hell did he do? I didn't always agree with him because he ran the unnofficial blog but the dude had some great insight into information.

Also he helped alot of people with his direct lines to the devs if someone had trouble getting on the feedback forum etc. Really weird.

 

[Auctopus]

I'm surprised he doesn't know. Usually the ban accompanies a message as to why the ban is being applied.

Pretty sure a good amount of ideas on our worries were also forwarded.

Aw Hitmann got banned???

Was he still a junior? Because if he was it probably it will just say "junior behaviour" or something weird like that

No. Juniors can't make threads.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Damn this is cold if he didn't even get an explanation

 

[Ashtar]

RIP hitmann he was a good man, I swear neogaf is so quick with the bans but hey what do I know

 

[ViciousDS]

Yes, he says he's perma banned, no future review, no info on description. But from the sound of it.....or the wording, he didn't get an explanation.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

welp... this thread is gonna die down quite a bit now. Shame...

No worries DH - i'll see you in Manhattan.

 

[naeS]

The reason he was banned is in the twitter conversation of the tweet I posted just earlier. Pretty sure the credentials he has in the OP are clear enough how close he is to the devs and Ubisoft.

RIP Hitmann, see you in the DZ. You did good work here.

 

[ViciousDS]

Here's the reason.....I can....kind of see this. But all info is in the OP. But still perma?

Well, see you on the battlefield DH!

As a random poster who hasn't even played this game, I have gotten really excited for this game with the help of that poster from what he has talked about the game.

Really hope Neogaf didn't unjustly ban him. Honestly, (it SEEMS as I don't know anything personally) they ban A LOT of people unfairly IMO... don't know why? At least the community is cool.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Daaammmm rip hitman.

Kinda figured this would be it. And he was pretty misleading.

 

[ViciousDS]

Only thing I ever nailed him on was his use of the term WE, when he's not a developer

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Also when alpha launched he was acting like he was part of what was going on, right there along with the "we" thing

 

[Philippo]

RIP Hitmann, we'll remember you through the hype for this game!

 

[jesu]

I thought he was very upfront with who he was in relation to the devs, maybe he was lying I suppose.

Could a mod possibly explain for us?
Or is it a secret?

 

[Interficium]

Not sure why everyone is surprised he was banned.

I called him out for the "we" thing, next thing I know people are threatening to beat me up, lol

We love feedback, both positive and negative, but be sure to post it on the Official Alpha forums.

Who does? The unofficial Division Blog?

I have never wanted to punch someone over the internet as much as I do you.

Jesus.

Gaf doesn't have a lot of tolerance for people doing the "I know stuff you guys don't, and I can't tell you anything but trust me it's going to be amazing!" insider/shill song and dance, particularly when those people follow up those statements with "it's my honest unbiased opinion."

If I could tell you guys everything I know, I would, but I cant. Just going to have to try an trust me on it. This game is really unlike anything ive ever experienced before and that is my honest unbiased opinion.

That's some cretinous selective quoting

Looks like we are getting a new trailer december 17th.

Also curious about this post there.

"That’s a wrap, The Division Alpha servers are now offline.
We hope you enjoyed this first taste of the game, and we can’t wait to see you back for The Division Beta in a few weeks"

Few weeks is not very much really. Was expecting a beta in february. But think its gonna be January now.

didn't he say that there are devs posting in this and the alpha thread?

Servers are up again.

 

[pasta_fire]

Wish I picked up my Xbox a couple weeks earlier. Now I have to wait for the beta. Really looking forward to this game.

It looks like he was actually a Ubisoft employee, or at least that's what it sounds like:

"My hub thread explains exactly who I am and what I have done for the community other than my newest appointment."

If that's the case then ban absolutely justified. I hate that sort of underhanded bullshit and appreciate the mods for sorting it out. If you're involved with a game and want to post at GAF then that's awesome, but don't be lying about that shit, especially when making cheerleader threads like this one and repeating ad nauseum how great the game is and how much everyone is going to love it.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Shame that Hitmann got banned. He gave me info about the game being playable 100% solo which made me a buyer on day one. Never thought he was a developer. Looked at him as a PR guy for the game and Ubisoft in general. Oh well. Thanks to Hitmann for getting me hyped about buying the game again and playing it solo.

Eh.. his newest appointment was being a Mod on their Alpha forums.. which appears to be something that had happened just days before the Alpha started... well after he created the thread.

What's done is done and all that but I don't think he was being underhanded. He openly said he talks to the devs regularly and is the best friend of Tom Clancy's son. /shrug

Nice Brooklyn also.

"In Tom Clancy’s The Division, you will evolve in a very large part of the iconic New York City. The famous Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods can be explored in a reconstituted version of as closely as possible by developers.The agents will explore a living world, marked by weather and day / night dynamics."
