[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 246654, member: 134"] I'll use the EBD beta as an example. Steam beta users did not even get the table to test until Monday of the week it was released. I myself am a purely concerned with the aesthetics of a table, as I don't know each and every table even remotely well enough to know if a light sequence is wrong or some rule behaviour isn't correct. With EBD the first thing I noticed was the awful placement of the DELUXE window as they had placed it dead center at the top of the play field, covering half of the the lanes at top. I made suggestions for it to me moved, FarSight responded with pics of an angle adjustment I found completely unacceptable, so I did a bit of photoshopping and gave an example of my own which wound up being exactly where they placed it for the final release. My complaints and concerns with that went all the way up to the Twitch broadcast Thursday night. We didn't get the DX11 build until Wednesday evening, which means any lighting fixes are highly unlikely to happen until a later date. I made a huge stink about the white hot glowing metal of the inlanes, as there is no reason they should be capturing any light source on the table. Unfortunately this is an art department problem, and those take a while (if ever) to happen. This is pretty much the beta schedule Steam users are always on, amounting to little more than a preview with not much time for issues to be raised and addressed. Jared and I have made the point about ball speed in our podcast (which people at FarSight do listen to) on many occasions, including our most recent. I have no idea why new tables cause problems with old tables, but it is completely unrealistic to expect beta testers to go through all 75 tables, using single player through 4 player, and pro mode, plus testing the newest table. We catch what we can, but in any beta I see the same 5 people posting, even though there are a lot more that have access. [/QUOTE]
