I just had a conversation on ED with a tester, who I will not name. For writing about this, I sense a ban coming for me, but I am merely stating the facts here. He believes that it's better to have 'a few good testers' than 'a lot of bad ones'. In response to this, I asked him, how does this supposedly 'good' group of testers miss the return of the Eggzooka in the previous update? In no way was this an attack, I was merely looking for an affirmation of the acclaimed quality of these testers. According to him, it wasn't something they were supposed to look at. In my opinion, one should check all inventory changes, simply to check stats, cores and that the right weapons have been added. It's better to be safe than sorry, as this would only take a couple of minutes anyway. I will reiterate, I have nothing against the testers, but I am merely trying to use facts in order to demonstrate a need for more testers. He claimed that they were busy testing the changes to the servers. This led me to ask, why were the two servers removed? To me, it can only be a manifestation of a declining playerbase, or atleast a lack of growth in the ED playerbase. Therefore, I said to him that there MUST be a reason for this, but he claimed that 'ED is going fine'. A tester cannot even take responsibility for a mistake, and they are far too fixated on conformity to the alleged rigid guidelines of testing. I claimed that ED needs more testers or at the very least, the testers and devs should show some maturity and claim responsibility for any shortcomings of theirs. I emphasised that ED should have increased its playerbase since beta, and he simply restated his claim that 'ED is going fine' without any concrete evidence. I was merely asking for a substantiated claim, and guess what I get in return? My 'friend', who I have known on ED for at least 3 years, closes the chat and deletes me! Once again, there is no malice in this post, but it is merely a portrayal of the facts I have witnessed here! I am disappointed, because I just want the game to improve :(!
