[QUOTE="Baron Rubik, post: 246635, member: 2280"] I was limited to what can be put across in a short written sentence, but praise and worship summed up what was happening at the time of my last personal involvement in the beta. It was far too positive and polite for the severity of issues being experienced. Plus there was a rule that legacy tables couldn't have issues reported, only the latest, which was utterly ridiculous. In regards this latest update, we as outsiders obviously don't have knowledge of what happened or why, but I can only see three basic scenarios. 1 - you guys rushed in excited about EBD and didn't check other tables in the typically short Farsight betas. 2 - you guys found these game breaking issues, reported them, and Farsight ignored your cries that this was completely broken. 3 - Farsight changed the release build from the beta version tested. 3 would be ridiculously stupid from a developers perspective. 2 is unlikely seeing as no one commented, yeah we reported this but there just wasn't time. 1 I'm guessing is what actually happened, or some wierd mix of all three. Bottom line is, whilst you guys aren't getting paid, your still the last line between release of acceptable and unacceptable quality. If you haven't got time to do it properly, you would be better to not volunteer, as this might force Farsight to actually hire or do testing internally which could only improve their dire quality issues. Are you helping or hurting with current contributions? I beta test for other developers so know what should be done. One application I'm currently checking has been in beta for over 2 months now, and is still far away from release. We have to repeatedly test every feature and aspect despite the monotony. Each beta should have a full run through testing (in TPAs case) all tables for.... does it start, play, sound etc, not just the latest current release. All 60 odd tables. This isn't a personal attack, I'm just wondering why my £150 software investment is a broken pile of cr@p yet again. [/QUOTE]
