![]() ![]() Some community manager commenting on decisions or progress here and there would be nice too. A list of "heard feature requests", if possible added with "heard", "in consideration", "in progress" to "hell no!" would help to keep the number of double requests lower. ![]() On the other hand I agree that communication could be better. People are meant to be construcitve and do their best to make the product as good as possible. Features may be added, or removed if they do not work out in the grander scale, even though it worked in small scale Alpha or closed Beta. )īeta does mean unfinished and only mostly feature complete. I can fully understand where someone is coming from, but at the same time totally disagree. Those two motivations are hard to distinguish but completely different. I am not trying to excuse this misunderstanding, but only to explain where it is coming from. I can fully understand your point of view. I've lost the will to put up with people. I'm like Danny Glover in Die Hard at this point. ![]() I've been beta testing (both closed and open) for nearly two decades and have been invited to enough alpha tests that I'd have to actively think on it to tell you how many. It isn't my fault if someone doesn't get it, I can deride them all I want because of their lack of education on what's what. Beta is unfinished software publicly released for testing purposes. I don't honestly care what perception anyone has over the term or not. That's what it is all about and the only way a dev has something to work with.ĭarxide: This is no excuse, if you want my opinion (or not, you're still getting it.) We are not ment to like any change, don't misunderstand me, but we should post a detailled report what we do not like, why and how to make it better, instead of bulletins. As I always say "Doesn't work is no fault description" and "I don't like it" is neiter a bug report, nor a feature request. What it is not for: To rant about the software being new, or to complain without any suggestions. In a factual and descriptive way, stating what you wish and how you'd like to see things. I doubt many still knwo what it really means: You are supposed to test the software (open beta right now: Open for everyne, used to be closed Beta, install on invite), check if there are bugs, post bug reports (yeah, that means you are supposed to invest some time and work and also try to report in a way the dev can investigate the issue) and. They watered down the term "beta" unfortunatly. It should work perfectly right away, right? I think we have to point at many publishers (especially MMORPGs used to do that) for keeping games "in dev" or "beta", while fully charging for them. Darxide: It's almost as if Beta software means that it's still not finished and in development and testing. ![]()
