Is Beta dying?

See, that is part of the problem, though, at least here and on the US forums. Before all the recent changes in CMs and Mods this year, there was more posting and engagement in general on the forums from those here before. So to a lot of long-time forum members, it feels like we have been abandoned.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant, thank you for the better explanation.
It feels like anytime we say the slightest critique or are honest about the current state of things, it causes some defensive responses from a handful of players and mods (which is really not necessary or productive in these situations), then players have to come back to apologize or clarify (or just quit coming to the forum altogether)… and nothing gets dealt with or acknowledged, without there being some gaslighting or backhanded apology or excuse.
Yes, we are all *very appreciative* of the support teams and are sympathetic to your situations. We understand it’s hard for you.
Seeing these changes, attitudes and development/game issues is hard for us too.
I now understand that this has become a space where we are no longer really welcomed to be honest or brave enough to say something outside of compliments or direct feedback to a current game implementation.
Even bug reports are becoming a challenge to post here and “prove” these days.
I see no point in carrying on here, which I’m sure will make the mods happy to read.
(No response needed to this, thank you. I take my leave.)

@CiraKelley, I like your clear explaination.

To stop Beta (and the live servers) from dying, INNO (employees) should start doing something useful to the players and this is not the case. Only events and FAs and this is quite boring. Last chapter was almost a year ago (which is quite too a long time!!!!) and now they are saying that a new chapter is coming, but they are even unable to say when!!!!!! During the vacation period so no bug will be corrected????? Or after the vacation (i.e. mid August), so after at least another month of wait??? This is very BAD marketing of the most important aspect of the game!!!! In the past the developers came (seldom) to excuse and try to explain they very BAD decisions. Now they are just absent: it seems they are asking the players to stop playing :-( BTW, this is a very constructive comment, but it will be unheard as all the constructive comments that the players gave in the past!!! We just need to be happy because we have new emojis and another FA!!!!!! No Comment!

I have to say I was really pleased to get a notification in-game about the issue with the MA (live server) mixing up spell production. I was able to go reset the order and I probably wouldn't have noticed until much later.
It really struck home for me how much of a difference that communication makes. Thank you @Amy Steele for passing on any feedback that may have encouraged that to happen and please pass on my gratitude to the devs (or whomever is due thanks).
Thanks for your kind words Mythandry. This isn't just down to me. It's the effect of the combined efforts of the entire beta team

Oof, Alcaro, timing is everything. I'm sure it wasn't your intention and I've probably completely messed up the nuance but when you say you miss the person who previously held a role right after the current holder of that role comments it comes off as a sideways insult regardless of disclaimers to the contrary.
Just to point out, Marindor was the Community Manager (CM) here. I'm just a moderator not the CM, Deadeye Jerry is
It's natural that people should still miss Marindor. He was a team member here almost since the beginning, first as a Moderator, then as CM. That said, I'm sure Marindor would want everyone to continue to enjoy the game and this forum, and also to support the current CM

“Not trying to attack anyone or belittle someone, but long story short, from my personal point of view - I miss “Marindor”
Me too! I highly doubt he’s happy with how Beta has been handled since he left.

Everything was great, up until near the end of his time here, starting with his wedding, when he was gone for a while for the honeymoon and then the Christmas holiday. Once he came back, things here were about as quiet as they are now. So I think something was changed internally by Inno in how much the CMs and Mods are allowed to interact here on the forums and in how much they are even told by their bosses, because this lack of communication did not start after he left. Same thing happened on the US forum. At about the same time, our very helpful and talkative CM left and since then, it has been about as bad there as it is here.

Yes, we all miss Helya too. To me, it's just a matter of numbers: half team leaved when Marindor was forced to go, and just 1 new member was added to the team since then. Probably before they were so many that could spend part of their time here, posting and joking (as we can see in The Lounge section), who knows

Saying that I miss a former CM isn't an insult, no matter how you look at it, with nuances or not
Please, be sure that THIS comment isn't against you, but if you knew me better, then you would know that I am a dog who barks but don't bite.
I just express my opinions, as kind as possible (doesn't work always
) and I am 100% sure I NEVER insulted anyone in my life, here on in RL. Deleted User - 101740

Please accept my apology for misreading the context. I thought Amy was Marindor's replacement so the comment sounded insensitive to me but as usual I grabbed the wrong end of the stick.Saying that I miss a former CM isn't an insult, no matter how you look at it, with nuances or not

during and at the end of summertime it seems bad, looking at fellowships searching for members for example. however towards autumn more casual players pick the up again, so lets see.
.... and as a sidenote i was away in springtime for maybe a month and a half, when i got back i was placed in a new spot. i didn't do it to be repositioned, but it did kick the machinery into action.
i do think though that inno should check the formula, my other acco is slowly slipping into situation elfbruno36 is despite being daily active for years.
