So that we can test all the unfinished content. A beta isn't supposed to be an update that you get to play early, it's meant to be testing for bugs and giving feedback. They are also going to be adding more to the boss fight later on in the beta, so there will be more to it soon.

Helenar Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 They stated quite clearly that the purpose of releasing the beta early is to collect as much feedback on the quol features as possible. 17 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/166115-what-is-the-purpose-of-this-beta/#findComment-1819433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkShark Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 (edited) To... collect feedback? If you are not satisfied with the amount of content that a Beta provides, then wait for the full thing instead of complaining about a beta lacking content inside a beta build.

Radicaljoe Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 2 hours ago, Exuante said: so i ask, what is the point Bug tracking mostly. Example, for some reason the beta just, prevents you from completing a moon storm event. If you manage to finish containing a storm the game just crashes. Also, they can still get feedback on the boss. Even though it's not fully finished, they can get general feedback, such as how expensive the fight is. How people react to Pearls home destroyed. If people like the celestial revenant fight. Betas are the time for experimenting, there's been hundreds of scrapped ideas that have come from betas before. So the point is to see what players do and get their ideas and opinions on how it could be improved.

Mike23Ua Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 I imagine it’s so that they can test and change features in an *experimental* way. As in: nothing about a beta is finalized and can receive major changes or even be scrapped entirely before its release. On Xbox we have ENTIRE VIDEO GAMES THAT ARE SOLD LIKE THIS… with “Game Preview” purchases But in general, a “Beta” is used to gather data and feedback on what is working, what isn’t working, and what needs tweaks before releasing to public. For example: Im sure Klei is well aware that a lot of people hate that you need 1 extra shard two CC kills to summon the new boss, so I’m pretty confident Klei will tweak those numbers. Im also pretty sure that after the amount of backlash they got from destroying and evicting pearls island, that they’ll likely scramble to revert that & probably even cater to peoples suggestions of building a new island just for the new boss.

Just speculating, but they probably don't want a repeat of the original Walter skill tree, which was a lot of development put into a product that the players didn't like (and ultimately got practically rebuilt, so there was a lot of time wasted). This way, sure the product is unfinished, but they get feedback as the thing is being developed, rather than after they put several hours into it.

What do you mean with barely functional? Sure, the controller support isn't that functional, but the new geometric placement is perfectly functional and plenty of feedback was given for it. The Gesture Wheel already got a feedback thread from active modders as well and it got direct dev responses, so this feedback was pretty important as well. Out of the 3 most important parts of this update (controller support, gesture wheel and geometric placement), 2 already got their fair share of feedback... It's clearly working. The pearl stuff also got plenty of feedback for the devs to work with, There is plenty of very functional stuff in this update. It's just the controller support that still needs more work before actual meaningful feedback can be given, since the current implementation just isn't doing much. 7 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/166115-what-is-the-purpose-of-this-beta/#findComment-1819563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
