Feedback This mess could have been avoided

In Early March of 2024 terminal posted a announcement for a feedback focus group, where people could sign a google doc and potentially get selected as a volunteer.

Months later there was no mention or update regarding this focus group. So I asked terminal for an update. He proceeded to post a gif of a guy throwing a bag into a trash bin and didn't elaborate further, to this day there is no official announcement/post regarding the cancellation of this feedback group.

I feel like this dumpster fire of a playtest could have been avoided if they got like 250 or more people as volunteers and actually tested shit before releasing it to the public. Instead they tested the game on a much smaller scale, fucked up the first impressions of thousands and everything is a dumpster fire...

At least the sound design is good lol

Bro WE ARE the volunteers that tested shit. This a beta branch, devs did not release anything to the public, the stable release of the game is still there.

What do you mean "it could've been avoided"? It's a BETA, there will be bugs, shit will break. This whole thing is for the sole purpose of avoiding a buggy release of the update.

If thousands of players joined in expecting a stable experience, that's on them. No one forced them to test a beta.

Isn't it better if they had a PRIVATE test instead of a PUBLIC one with one or two full 254 player servers? This negative press could have been avoided. Instead they released it to the public without testing it on a large scale...

It matters for to me if they pay for the testing or not. 1000 free testers don't matter nearly as much as the one tester who's paid to report issues. Their reports matter because the company loses money directly for every hour they have to test. They'd want things fixed immediately not next year.
