_mylilsunshine_ Posted February 20, 2025 Share Posted February 20, 2025 I'm not trying to speak for all of us, the players, but I figure that concrete, detailed statements can help to clarify the state of the beta and paint a better picture of the future release. I'm not trying to form expectations for the beta that might be subject to change or that the devs don't need to fulfill. I just figured a debrief of sorts, is healthy and needed. I understand that making public statements puts the devs, and the specific names, under scrutiny and constant mentions. I understand that for the entire duration of the beta, the forum has not been a pleasant place to discuss. I just genuinely do not know what is the best approach to this. Currently, we all know that the devs are working on the beta for Wendy, Wortox, and Walter's skill tree, duh. But we do not exactly know what will be changed, added, or removed, or the direction each team is going, etc. We know that there are separate teams working on each of the characters, so it would be nice to hear from each of them. p/s: this is not related to Walter's. Even though I am happy and still expecting more from Walter, this post is not about him or what I want. Here are some (general) sample questions that I have in mind: - How would you (the developers) gauge the completion of the beta, in percentage perhaps? This is flexible and subject to change. - What items are in the final cut? Is it just the skill trees, or is there something else? - What is Wendy's team working on? How happy are you with the skill tree? What is the direction you are taking for the skill tree? Are you still taking suggestions? - What is Wortox's team working on? How happy are you with the skill tree? What is the direction you are taking for the skill tree? Are you still taking suggestions? - What is Walter's team working on? How happy are you with the skill tree? What is the direction you are taking for the skill tree? Are you still taking suggestions? (What you are working on does not mean it has to be in the very next beta builds) - If the trees have to be released earlier than expected, will they be changed/updated in the future? - etc... If you have your own questions, or ones that are representative of your community, feel free to include them below. Please be straight to the point, civil, and manage your expectations. Please understand that we, as players, are not entitled to the internal works of the developers. We are simply inquiring.

They're too busy anyway, they're working on the update.

I'm fully aware of the backlash that comes with answering questions and I don't expect Klei to do this. Couldn't hurt to ask I suppose. would be pretty funny if they drop a gigantic beta build this friday covering everthing and i look like silly for asking.

You can get a hint of what they're doing from forum and bug tracker activity, that plus the twitch drops. Lot of bug fixing at once implies they're wrapping things up for most part. Twitch drops ending hints at at least a launch target of next week. Maybe week after if they run into problems. Though, I'm less sure on this than usual, due to the special extension of this beta. I saw something that implies a small Wortox update. Also the knabsack bugnet isn't in yet, it was planned after the thulecite net got in. Those could also be a hotfix thing, though. Walter's likely close to done. Would be cool if they did something to the wet ammo. Wendy is probably done, unless they make surprise final adjustments.

Yeah I follow V2C for his Walter update and in the past week he has resolved over a dozen of bugs. Things are reaching the finish line for sure. Again, always better to hear from, than to speculate.
