This is the only post I'll make on this topic in this thread so as not to hijack it; if you wish to carry on this debate lets do it elsewhere in the forum.
We formed the Steam group a week ago. We've been working on maps since then; the group has hardly fizzled out.
As for your wish that betas not get out into the public game for testing, and I thought I said this gently before, who are you to determine that?
Make some maps or tools, build some credibility, and contribute to our efforts to learn the SDK and improve the game before you try to change the system here. We've been putting betas into the public game with more and less success for at least six years. You just got here. Read more, test maps and contribute, learn how this culture operates then you can start to think of ways to improve the way that gets done.
We have nothing to debate as i completely disagree with you and you will never convince me otherwise. However I do respect your opinion.
I'm not here to prove anything, i put in my 1000's of hours for mapping and testing in other games that had mod/mapping tools and Im not going to reinstall old games just to show you my "credibility". I would map for RO2 but the content browser crash makes the RO2-SdK unusable to me. And I am in no position to be buying more ram or reformatting to get it to work. I did try the forum suggestions of deleting cache and all that and still no results.
Like I said , good luck mapping and modding. I do appreciate it as a gamer. But it seems your attitude of "We've been putting betas into the public game with more and less success for at least six years. You just got here".
is one of those "you're the new guy wtf do you know" cliches. Guess what, I'm not new. I'm new to this forum but certainly not mapping and modding.
BTW: I was more referencing this post by Cat in the Hat

That's a bugger. I am finding that over half the players on the server were crashing after the latest version of ColdSteel.
I know deleting the cache is such a simple thing to do, but people just won't do it. They just leave the server and go play stock maps somewhere else.

If that's what you meant by ""We've been putting betas into the public game with more and less success for at least six years".
That is why I don't agree that the success you're talking about is working now. But , like I said I do appreciate the effort going into the maps.
