How much time do changes usually spend in Beta?

[Menelruin]

Like many folks, I'm SUPER-hyped about the upcoming changes to Energy Melee!  Which left me anxiously wondering two things.

 

Firstly, anyone know how much time these sorts of things typically spend in Beta before being brought to Live?  Obviously it's a case-by-case thing, but do these normally take a week or two, or like a full month?

 

Secondly, they put several cool things on Beta at once.  Is the Dev Team going to wait until they're ALL good to go, then put them all on Live at once?  Or if Energy Melee is solid, but the Teleport revamp still needs testing, will they bring one change to Live, and hold the other back. 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH DEV TEAM!

They'll be in beta until they're finished.  There's no definitive time frame.  They're specifically interested in bugs, exploits and usability feedback.  The more people testing, the sooner it can go live.  So that might be tomorrow (it won't be tomorrow), or it might be Christmas (probably not that late, but still possible).

Typically a package deal.

 

Go.  Test.  Kill bugs.  And that doesn't mean only the things that interest you, test everything.  More eyes on more things = faster beta process.
