I'm Raziel Warmonic, your new community manager.

Hello everyone!

I’m really excited to be joining the Dirty Bomb team! Some of you may recognize me from running Dirty Bomb tournaments, or even watching me on Twitch.tv! If not, here’s a little about myself and my involvement with Dirty Bomb thus far…

I started playing back in alpha, around a year and a half ago. I really geared up and started playing it when it went into closed beta on Steam. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with Sawbonez and the Crotzni - but that’s a different story for another time. Around the end of April 2015, I created the Dirty Cups competitive community group for Dirty Bomb alongside @Oen and @“Sagan on Roids”. I’ve been heavily involved with Dirty Bomb and the competitive side of it because of this.

I also have a background in streaming on Twitch.tv as a partner, and heading up Nosgoth for ESL in North America. My favorite game franchises are Legacy of Kain and Metal Gear Solid series. I don’t have a lot of hobbies outside of lurking on Twitch.tv and collecting action figures (if you have a collection, let me see it!).

So to get down and dirty, I will be taking over what @MissMurder is currently doing as your community manager. I’ll continue her work, but also apply my own method to it. I have a strong ties with the competitive communities (especially Dirty Bomb), and I plan on keeping that connection and fostering you guys as much to my ability. This doesn’t mean my focus will only be on hardcore players, however. I’ll make sure everyone from 10 mins to 2000 hours of game time is heard, respected, and taken care of. Due to my past experience in livestreaming, I’d like to make more informative videos pertaining to the community and improving streams, so let me know if you have any ideas or feedback in this area.

I’m very interested in what your individual connection to the game is, whether it’s theory crafting, competitive play, gawking over @SNIFF ’s cobalt collection, or making fanart (fanfiction, for some of you). I’d like to think I know you rowdy bunch well, but I want to further that knowledge. I know you guys will always have something fun and interesting in store for me. :wink:

From here on out, if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas – for me, for the community (hint hint), or the game – I look forward to reading it, as yours truly will be there to reply! So get out there and start posting!

As a fun side note as, I will be on tomorrow’s Friday stream at 4pm PDT on the Dirty Bomb stream with @MissMurder to take questions and introduce myself properly.

Cheers from your new community manager,
Raziel Warmonic

I don’t really get Nexon’s thought process if this was about picking a community manager from the community itself. What is your goal here? - to have a more experienced and connected individual on board when it comes to ties with the DB community? It surely must be considering. Nothing against Raziel as a person, but she was only active in the community for a few months for Dirty Cups. When that collapsed she completely abandoned all interest in the game, which reflected purely business oriented motifs. Unless community manager just means “girls on camera who can use twitter”, then you might want to rethink your business model. I’ve been one of the most consistently active members of the community since pre-alpha, and I could make a very long list of people more deserving of the opportunity that are truly passionate about the future of this game. Simply sharing an honest reaction here and it likely won’t be the last, so congratulations and good luck to Raziel, but I’ll be expecting her to earn that paycheck and fulfill those goals if I’m going to confidently support this decision… but at least it wasn’t Oen. I would have uninstalled immediately otherwise.
