Why can't a mod be in beta? What are open beta tests then?

Nice beta if it goes for over a year.

This mod has been longer in beta than most games are in Development.

Guess the only reason they decide to keep it in beta status is that they just want to fuck up everybody once a while with totally changing some gameplay elements to see how we dwindle in the dust before them, yet not able to leave this mod due to it´s addictive nature.
Maybe it woud be better for me to find out where you life and kill you when you are satch a Soziopath. You have enough now.

is there a hurry to exit from beta stage? it is better to make it live now by fixing only the actual bugs or it is better to continue to expand it, fix, expand till the community says "ok we cannot think any other things to add/improve. debug and live"?.

i don't get it.. there is a hurry for? the gameplay mechanics are somewhat balanced, strategus is up with all the crafting/trading stuff we talked about months ago, the heirloom market is up and running, account system rewritten, stronghold mode WIP, CTF also.

the mod is all but dead. there is people like me that after 18 months playing this game mod, need a break every now and then but that doesn't mean crpg is gone. 3000 unique serials per day almost match the total arma2, non-source counterstrike, TF2 players.

Skyrim turned out to be a 12 years old kid's console game, people heard about the new patch and came back.

crpg is improving. i like how it is now, but if could get even better why complain?

Most big project mods are always in beta that's the thing. There's no point calling a mod beta, because usually the only time it ever gets finished is when the devs cba to  work on it any more, or the player base has shrunk so small there's simply no point so it never actually truly leaves beta. Beta is a pretty useless term to band around when it comes to mods. A mod is usually a constant work in progress that needs constant testing, pretty much always in beta therefore. There's rarely a finishing point.

I like to reserve the beta term to proper, full release games. A mod is a mod and has it's own definition.

You can reserve whatever you want, but software release life cycle is not an opinion.

Not really...mods are a completely different concept to game releases, and various software releases. I just think beta is a pointless term for big project mods because I can count on one hand the number of mods I've ever heard reach a release out of 'beta', and not just pretending to be out of beta. Not to say crpg won't be one of them, there's every possibility. But it's rare. Beta in the modding community is just a way to blindside the community into accepting unpopular changes and putting them down as the fact a mod is a work in progress. Just by the way mods are developed, they are usually a constant work in progress.

Keyword.

Naw edit your post.

Anyway, just an opinion. You can say it's the definition of software release life cycle or whatever. But you can't excuse changes that people don't like, or just mistakes in the releases, by it being a 'beta'. Mods like this are always a work in progress, and it probably always will be seeing as this community never stops whining about some form of balance and I'm sure more idea's for new features and cool things will always crop up along the way. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing, the dedication the devs put into this is fantastic and I'd like to see it constantly being worked on until you guys do eventually get tired of it in your old age.

Most people learn about balance on the see-saw in kindergarten. Apparently chadz never had an education.

Most people also know that chadz doesn't do the balancing.
