Did you PLAY or TEST?

[Grimm]

I blame Zyuu for selling beta keys to people who just wanted to play.

Seriously all joking aside. With how SE is ''Listening'' Now it makes you wonder what the hell really happened in beta was Tanaka really that bad? Or was management really that rushed to release it. Anyone who was in beta how many of you not just reported bugs but made all these claims about content you are now?

I can happily say I reported, but I couldn't post on the beta boards

I was part of closed beta, but I was very depressed through all of it. I found the gameplay to be fantastic despite how poorly the performance was.

The problem was so many people were complaining about stuff I actually liked, such as the pace of battle (apparently it was too slow for everyone back then). I personally enjoy room for strategic thinking in the middle of battle.

I did it all, I shouted from the roof tops, but alas nobody listened.

Beta was not allow to report much it was all alpha job. Beta was just to see how much the server can take noting more sadly they did not listen to us at all i play beta 1 and got bored of the game by open beta.

Sadly I never got the chance to beta test but I really wanted to try the older battle system. For some reason I feel if it were still around now there would be no need for auto attack. Considering auto-attack is slow as-well.

I reported ANYTHING I found, and it was quite a lot. lol

Most of it was mechanical like glitches though, and not actually like... "well, I think the game needs more content" because it was in Alpha when I tested it and I truly thought they had more planned than just guildleves and the main story arc. Too bad I was wrong. If I would've known, I would've complained about the lack of content more often. lol

By Playing, you are Testing. Most Game companies nowadays record the actions and paths that most players travel in their gametime. every crash, every error and event out of place, captured to be addressed.

The game was rushed. Sticking to September release date, they could have either tried to release more content but release a really buggy game, or release a game almost free of bugs but deprived of content. Either way would have been a disaster. Their release date was pretty ambitious.

I know that conjurer and thaumaturge felt different back then. There was not as much MP to spare, but the nukes/heals were much more potent if I'm not mistaken.
