As MA dont have real Beta tester's, and thats a job to do.
We should have PED reward for all bug raports and errors.
Simple topic on forum, First who find errors get lets say 100PED.
 
problem with that system is that there's no way to know you were the first, and it also means most people who report bugs will never get a reward, so they'll quit

a better system is one i've seen implemented elsewhere. give some kind of minor cosmetic or consumable once a month to everyone that submitted bugs that month. it has no TT value. doesn't matter if you're the first or the last to submit. this will incentivize people to submit a bug when they come across one, but won't end up wasting your time if you're not the first.
 
They used to do this in the past actually. Now they expect us to bug report for free which many still do. I as a customer do expect them to fix our reported bugs though, without breaking something else otherwise it shows incompetence/not professional, alpha game etc.

Problem is they fix one bug get 2 bugs or more for free. They gotta fix their problem with live/test server sync issue or whatever it is - This is actually their most crucial "bug" imo.
Then their bugs will actually get fixed without breaking something else in the process.
This is a long time problem for MA/PP's it's like they gambling on each update, hoping for the best and it seems they aren't able to fix it or they don't wanna invest the money/time required to fix it. Since they are also working on UE5 which one would think would probably fix it (we shall see).
 
I was also raporting some bugs, but now when I see so easy and childish errors, I start to think who is working there? And yes I will no longer do it for free. Industry can have fun watching them.

I remember they explained part of the issue with their test servers. In the test environment they don't have the capability to mimic thousands of real time players and some of the issues associated with that.

I wonder how other game developers get around these kind of issues. I'm no expert on this but seems to me you'd have to create a second live version which is restricted to developers only. The cost of this is probably to much for a small dev like MA.

Plus their will be other issues of which we have no idea.

I like that approach but there should be a way to opt out of any prizes or the prizes should be tt'able.

Could have some kind of pill as prize e.g. candy cane. A consumable as a prize probably wouldn't affect the game that much but would incentivise players to report bugs.
 
Can anyone throw up the questions from what MA is asking us to complete about the vu or UI?
Asking us to visit a site blind isn't something I wish to do, as honest answers may serve nobody right now. If I knew the questions, I could at least read them ...
