This update sucks, and it’s not because of the content; It’s because there are currently so many bugs that the game feels almost broken beyond repair. Cosmetics can’t be bought, commendations won’t track, pirates can get soft-locked, everything about this update has been plagued with game-breaking glitches.

First time?

@burnbacon
Yea I started back up in season 14 so i missed the really bad bugs, but after that it was poo poo content and bugs, this is just bugs.

Exclusive better rewards? Lol.

How about - you test and report so it gets fixed if they missed it, so you don't have to cry on forums after every single patch is released. There's your motivation and reward 😂

Let's not pretend this is nothing more than an ego trip for people to flash their exclusive cosmetics while bumping their chest and yapping how Rare listened to their very sherlocky report. But if Rare's "you're a good boy" badge is what people need to feel special for once in this not so huge community, it's kinda sad, but go for it I guess 😁

@ghutar said in Community-Focused Play-Testing:

@r3vanns with is nice and all but we are all insiders in this topic and we all know how well Rare is processing reported bugs. So no one ever would received that super special outfits

I think that better way to help Devs with fixing game would be sending them like 5 witheboards so they cloud write down bugs.

LOL! With that I can agree xD A go-fund-me so Rare can afford a few whiteboards and pens. Cuz that Emporium spam is not making too much money, does it

On the topic itself - my point was, who cares about the game health or who's actually bothered with something, they'll report it anyways. With super special exclusive giga mega rewards, or without them.

Also, with such rewards or without them, Rare will not be faster (or slower) to check these reports. They'll still go through them (or not lol, as we've seen multiple times) on their own pace and according to their own priorities. 😅

Maybe I'm just way too ethical for my own good or bad, but I do not think that I should be specially rewarded for something I actually care about, and for something that I would do anyways.

Current reward system is more than enough. And the real reward is seeing a bug patched out.

Well back to what I was saying, since "ego-tripping" is such an obvious (and terrible) edition to the game, make people actually WORK for the trip and improve the game's health by reporting bugs and glitches, they did it with charity sails (sails of hope and the other ones).

#FreeSOT btw

Well, if you joined Insiders for the Rewards, that on you and the future of the games health.
Add more rewards wont make a change, just more people joining just for them.

and if they some how make it so you actually have to "test" to unlock. Nobody will :P Since most the new stuff they are requesting be tested requires Player interaction, but as comments suggest. Cant find anyone. The data for this update is a hit and miss.
