Stop with the playtests and aim for getting at least one server up and running for good. Play tests are just gonna kill off the game. Already have seen people stop caring for this because of the push of just constant play tests and not anything else. The entire point of a beta Is for constant feedback and knowledge on the issues for a game as it provides constant availability to play the game amongst any time zone or country. Playtests should only be a thing to make sure said thing functions while adding it. we do not need constant playtests, we just need beta to release, or one server.

give oki the money for that and i’m sure he’d do it

give oki the money for that and i’m sure he’d do it

sacred basin
#

but there’s reasons he doesn’t , and it’s cause he needs to watch over the tests as they happen and he needs time to develop stuff for the game , and adding only one server that only 245 people could play at a time would be a bad idea for the thousands wanting to play and would not make people wanna play since the one server would always be full

the game isn't in beta

iron elbow
#

So, you're not gonna get it any faster, either way

tranquil snow
sterile mural
#

No?

tranquil snow
#

why give a date on beta when your not gonna follow up

#

yes?

#

ive heard countless people shit on it about that

#

unless we're all gonna forget it

sacred basin
#

they aimed for it but never confirmed it

wide lava
#

they were planning on realeasing in 2022

tranquil snow
#

so thats what theyll call it when march or april

#

playtests arent worth it just push for beta

sullen kernel
#

You act like this is a huge dev studio.

sacred basin
#

bro give them the money and they will 😭

wide lava
#

but considering he took a while to implement eac

sterile mural
#

It’s three guys mainly!

tranquil snow
#

ive gave them money 😭

wide lava
#

then tons of server stuff

iron elbow
sacred basin
tranquil snow
#

gave up on news in this game

wide lava
#

also no one said of 2022

tranquil snow
#

as 90% of it is just playtests

#

which do absolutely nothing

#

for the game

#

that a beta wouldnt

wide lava
#

I argue that playtests are better

tranquil snow
#

theyre not

#

they kill off a game

wide lava
#

I like that that's the time I play

sacred basin
#

they aren’t for the player they are for the game

sterile mural
#

Now it’s an IMO fight

#

Great

wide lava
#

and that's when everyone is on

sacred basin
#

lmao

wide lava
#

I do know some people who aren't gonna play till ea

#

which made more sense back when you'd wait a month for a 3 day playtest only for it to get cancelled 20 minutes in due to servers not working

tranquil snow
#

and now what do you wait for a 30 min playtest?

wide lava
#

I do not wait

tranquil snow
#

where eventually the servers stop working

wide lava
#

I play when servers up

#

I do that for other games

#

you schedule when you gonna play and play then

#

I know that a certain event happens same time every week

tranquil snow
#

you have to fit said schedule around when a 30 min playtest is up

#

and even with that

#

there will always be a conflict

#

whether the servers dont work or servers are full

wide lava
#

I mean it's bad for people who's timezones it doesn't fit

iron elbow
#

Yes, the Playtest are to find bug, test fixes & new content, they are not for our enjoyment specifically, that's just the bonus by-product we get

wide lava
wide lava
#

also oki didn't want this many people playing the tests

tranquil snow
#

and a beta does it 100% better

#

because you can play at any time you want

sterile mural
#

IMO “releasing a game which will need to be updated on steam every 2 to 6 days and constantly have server up and down for every problem Oki alone has to work on, would waste all the money his supporting community has given to the game!

tranquil snow
#

and not for a limit

wide lava
#

he got way more people than he wanted before the game was ready

tranquil snow
#

so hire more

#

you can easily

wide lava
#

hiring is not an option

tranquil snow
#

thats theyre problem then

wide lava
#

unless you want stuff delayed

sacred basin
wide lava
#

a lot

tranquil snow
#

do exactly what battlestate games does

#

theres a reason theyre getting shitted on

tranquil snow
#

and at nobodys expense

iron elbow
sacred basin
tranquil snow
#

they can afford it if it exceeded expetations

sterile mural
sacred basin
#

steam holds funds for 2 months , if they don’t have funds put aside for 2 months of servers they can’t do it ….

iron elbow
#

Again, your assumptions are wrong, more people, means more servers, more servers, means more money is required

tranquil snow
sullen kernel
#

yeah, that's where you're wrong

tranquil snow
wide lava
#

maybe one server

#

but oki would get so many more complaints if there was one single server up 24/7

tranquil snow
#

you have one server up constant, who ever gets in gets in

wide lava

like your suggestion

who ever doesint, doesint

I don't imagine people being happy with the lets load up battlebit and see if I get to play testing model

tranquil snow
#

he didnt expect these much players

#

so limit it to a expectation

sullen kernel
#

It's $50,000 per month to run the servers full time.

rich schooner
#

waiting for the "and now give patreon people priority" segue

tranquil snow

i didnt say patreon priority

i said who ever gets in gets in

no, I'm waiting for you to eventually get to that point

im not gonna

see no point in argueing with you

So, bring up 1 server, so 250 players can have fun, and 50k+ are left salty... how's that gonna help the game?

tranquil snow

games in beta

die constantly

??

#

this games not even in beta

what do you think thats gonna do to it

it’s not a big team either

whens this one gonna get another remaster?

sacred basin

that was redone, god you know nothing do you

tranquil snow

bit off more they can chew and theyre gonna flop

sullen kernel

I mean he's outed himself as a troll... Could just archive thread

rich schooner
#

uh that's exactly what the playtests are for lmao

tranquil snow
#

what does politics have to do with this

#

lmao

#

had playtests for how long now?

rich schooner
#

hm yes today I think Ill doompost about playtests killing a game

tranquil snow
#

seeing as betas constantly kill games

#

this wont be any different

sullen kernel
#

Yes my comment was about the politics

#

Not the "Whomst I'm trolling that day"

sacred basin
tranquil snow
#

this has nothing to do with politcs but a game

sterile mural
tranquil snow

games in betas where theyre in betas for too long

#

literally kill a gasme

#

you can do the research

sullen kernel
rich schooner

"betas kill games so I want BB to go to early access so it doesn't die"

tranquil snow

whats gonna happen when this games in playtesting phase for too long

iron elbow
sacred basin
rich schooner
#

presumably the kinks will get ironed out so the game can be released

tranquil snow
#

this is feedback

#

the fact you cant accept it as

#

isnt my problem

#

youll only have to wait and see

sullen kernel
tranquil snow
#

either im going to be proven wrong and this game will make into beta and release

rich schooner

your feedback indicates severe mental deficiency

sterile mural
tranquil snow
#

or im going to be proven right and this game will never get out

#

see thats another issue with this game

iron elbow
#

Ok, so you've said your feedback, let's all stop, and see where it goes

tranquil snow
#

communitys already toxic and cant resolve a arguement without herling insults

#

makes nobody want to be apart of it either

#

you can all call me wrong when the game releases and insult me and ill take it and accept it

sacred basin
#

all you’ve said is the games gonna flop , who tf would just agree

tranquil snow
#

with the state its in

#

it can

#

ww3 flopped

#

people agreed also then

sacred basin
#

it’s in development my guy

tranquil snow

been in development too long

sterile mural

#

WW3 is a game no one really wanted or needed.

tranquil snow
#

same with games that died in beta

#

development too long

sacred basin
rich schooner
#

didn't ww3 flop because people played it, it wasn't great, and people refunded

tranquil snow
#

like i said 3 devs is their issue

#

they refuse to grow

#

if theyre project only grows and grows

#

while they dont grow their team

sacred basin
#

ok biggie will make the game better himself guys let him on the team

sullen kernel
#

WW3 flopped because you can just play Battlefield.

tranquil snow

its going to take longer and longer

#

for said project

#

to be complete

sterile mural

which causes what in communitys

#

kills out any hype for the game

sullen kernel
#

You could honestly have this discussion with yourself since you're not getting anything from here through your skull.

sacred basin
#

also oki wrote the code himself so hiring another will mean he has to take time to train them and that will only take longer

tranquil snow

im not gonna get anything through from insults simple

why would i

#

you have to insult me for your arguement because you cant with anything else

#

why would i want to take your arguement after that

tranquil snow

How did I insult you, I'm stating a fact, you haven't listened to anyone here. You just wanted to spark an argument/outrage.

ive listened

ive just countered the point

You've been repeating the same point.

because thats the arguement

That's not how you argue, the person that's louder doesn't mean they're right.

you do understand how many games die in beta

the will die if the game is realeased in a bad state

tranquil snow

because they never release

this is why we have playtest

tranquil snow

games can easily die before release

can die in development

#

its not hard

rich schooner

tell you what actually will kill the game: not sorting out proper scalability and playability before EA, which is what the playtests are in service of

half herald

i understand that games die in beta, this game can die but that doesnt mean it will

woven hearth

thank you biggie for stating something that we already knew

so why are you getting so upset about it when i said this game could die

haven't bought an ea game in years, and i dont plan on doing so until they release a good game

I won't disagree with Biggie's point stating the community here is toxic. 85% of the discussions I've either started or hopped into resulted in either insults or lack on constructive criticism. There's a very prominent lack of empathy here.

They're not... but saying stuff like "skill issue" to something someone considers an issue is dismissive of a possible problem. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it wont affect part of the playerbase. It's also disrespectful because you're not even taking their idea into account or seeing it from their perspective, you're just dismissing it outright because it's something you don't want.

#

When I give feedback to a suggestion or a discussion I ask myself: "Where are they coming from?" "How would this affect X set of players?". I then write what I like or would change about their idea, formulate a compromise that takes x set of players into account, etc.

rich schooner
#

or it's a pointless gripe that someone's making because they're bad

sullen kernel
#

Even if they're bad, their opinion is still valid.

rich schooner
#

no, because appealing to the lowest common denominator for every problem is a big mistake

sullen kernel
#

Correct, but you should still take them into account. If you ignore newer or low skill players entirely, that's how your game stops growing and dies.

"Sniping is hard and is meant to be hard because it's an incredibly powerful skill to master. Making it easier would make gameplay for standard infantrymen less fun, and reduce the skill ceiling of sniping which many tend to enjoy the climb to.

glintshitters make a post what feels like every single playtest about how it's unfair that high-powered scopes have a visible glint

My issue with glint is just that it's ugly, I don't even snipe.

rich schooner

conveniently forgetting that being able to sit 600 meters away is also pretty unfair

a thoughtless and myopic (ironic) gripe that is repeated ad nauseam

TBF hitting anything at that distance is difficult, and if you're standing still, you deserve to get sniped.

I never use anything higher than a 4x

rich schooner

the only thing wrong with the current sniping model is that the m200 has precisely zero drawbacks whatsoever but is uniquely powerful in more than one way

sullen kernel
#

I can see that being an issue. I haven't sniped enough to know though.

rich schooner
#

if memory serves you've got a projectile velocity 300 m/s faster than the next in line, the damage is such that it is the only gun in the game that can kill an exo helmet support in one shot, and it has competitive stats in all other respects

#

there is no actual reason to use any other rifle in the game for sniping

I would like to see vehicle optics being able to take damage, like in WW3. Recon could have AMRs for an AT option. AMRs could have heavy drop and long reloads. They would not bodyshot in 1, but would do significant damage to chest. the AMRs would also provide some needed variety to the recon class.

#

Maybe they could also pop tires.

Oki would have to code all that to work as a new gear for recon. thats a lot of time used on making recon more useful, then everyone needs to get something new as well.

how do you reach that conclusion

buyers elitisms IMO But that's not true for all of them. I planned on donating to the game just to see the game have as little a chance to fall as possible thre funds.

I really don’t understand the “put up one server” stance. One server would hold a max of 254 players. Which means if that one server is full, no one that isn’t already in would be able to play.

So you’d just have to sit in server browser endlessly trying to get in. Imagine thousands of people trying to do this.

Versus what we have now, tons of servers everyone can join multiple times throughout the week as we continue development to actually release the game into EA.

sterile mural
humble thunder
#

Then it would be “put up more servers 24/7” - which basically would translate to “release the game right now”

#

And it’s not ready to be released

sterile mural
#

Still has the heli's framework to get worked out, tweaks on the new boats and how they work, fixing some issues with classes being broken in playtests screwing with Data per play test. It still has some work to go threw and Im NOT an avid Dev for Unity and I can see those being some issues that need working on over time.

#

Oh also the hole in security with Steam allowing aim assist threw its back end controller confie stuff, that need some addressing. lol. Love getting auto sniped by people with scripted controllers. (I dont actually know how that all works or if Oki already has some net to catch that issue.)

So basically what you are saying is everyone being able to play the game for a few hours every couple days is going to kill the game but one single server (which probably isn’t as good for testing either) where you have a 1 in 160 chance of getting into a server would magically keep the game alive? Stop acting like you somehow know more then the dev who I would very much guess thinks about this game a lot

Backer, regular, tester, programmer or visitor...the playtests are all we have until release. If some folks lose interest and stop playing because of this, that's okay...life goes on and the rest of us will patiently await release. Nothing of quality is ever created by rushing the process.

I feel like if it did come out today or within the next week it would easily earn enough money to run the servers, sense everyone whos stuck around loves and likes the game and a few big youtubers have been making videos on it, so i can see why some people want it to release,though i would say just to wait until the decide to release the game if people really enjoy it they will stick around until then and buy it
