Why no one in beta?

No thx dead game. I'm playing Fall Guys season 2 instead.

I usually join the beta ASAP. However, since most of the new maps are now officialized community maps, I find it's not that attractive to bring some players back.

[Serious]

• Beta for a 7 years old game is weired
• The feedback process is horrible managed
→ No reason to participate in beta

Their primary reason for beta is bugfixing and balancing, but known bugs won't be fixed and balancing .. in kf2 ^^
As long as they don't change perks like medic zerk or weapons like healththrower or kaboomstick all balancing adjustments are worthless.

Beta used to be good, after a while, at least a player who played the game since april 2015 EA, till the time i stopped playing it, it was just adding things that nobody asked for, or silly weapons on classes that shouldn't have them at all.

That's without talking about HRG weapons which are reskin of existing weapons but function a bit differently, which i hoped they would at least give them a better looking skin(s)

Maps stopped being made by the devs, and picked from community made maps.

Game is repetitive and new games come out, people like to try new things.

There are skills in many classes that has no reason to stay, some are never picked at all ( example fire storm vs heat wave ), and some other changes to perks that still will not be picked vs the other side ( inferno vs pyromaniac ).

Honest to god, I only playtest the Beta to comment on the new weapons (in case some of them are really busted, see beta Shrink Ray) and switch off.

The only thing I care about seeing out of the game this day is the glimmer of hope that we'll get a major balance rework, which I'm certain is never going to happen.

I agree with these points.

My personal one pretty much is summed up in your OP: no one to play with.

This is the one. Why limit myself to only a few games for meh content that is going to be added to the game officially soon anyway? I usually pop into beta to try the new stuff for a few matches and then switch back.

Yeah thats why I never do betas, not alot of people participating and its boring when theres not alot on. Its been like this even back when Tripwire is actually making maps. I prefer to just wait until its release and continue playing servers where theres actual people and not dead servers.

I suggest turning off beta or else you'll get bored.

[AKA_Trunk Monkey]

Most people come in to get the seasonal achievements, then go back. I believe the only reason some play beta is for the achievements.
I'm still playing in beta, though I have the achievements. Yes, it's lonely (for now).

And?

[Herrstarr^]

Our group plays the beta every couple of days, love the new map and the new weapons, the scythe is very cool. Great map on HoE lots of tight corners and ambush places.

[ocL.1robbi3]

Currently have 4 beta servers running. More on the way. I will play beta today.

[Littlefoot]

Because they managed to screw up how mouse input is handled. When you have your view randomly doing straight spins because of a small stutter, the game is nigh-unplayable.

[exotic handjob]

Good for new players, it's repetitive for anyone else. Part of the appeal is the difficulty, yet it's sort of just like tower-defense principles with some movement and perks. If it becomes like you can just beat anything on even the hardest map, got to the top level, then you basically have finished this game, no need to play it anymore, it will always be the same, and it lacks any horror or polished appeal.

There's only so many hundreds of hourst you can get from a game like that. I've maxed out prestige for my fav class, got 100% achievements, and after 7 years I mostly only complete new challenges and seasonal event druing updates.

There's a backlog of 200 games in my Steam library alone. Not sure why I'd force myself to populate servers in KF2 after all these years.
I think new map looks really nice, and design is very much OK. Can't say anything about weapons, I don't buy weapons or skins.
