question as to the latest version of the opt in and open beta

I have played both open beta and the latest version of the opt in. They are enormously different, I am not here to discuss the pros and cons or which is better. However I would like to ask this question. If the final version of this game is going to look and play like the latest version of the opt in... Then why hasn't the open beta been updated to a stable version that reflects the current state of the opt in?

    Basically, they have created a rift that is too large to force everyone to move from open beta to opt-in. There are a handful of players in opt-in providing a bunch of feedback. Feedback that they would want to address before pushing opt-in to the final version. Consider it the open beta of the open beta, as silly as that sounds.

    Also, the opt-in is substantially different. Just throwing that on to the mass player base one day, specially with some of the major issues still present would probably have a negative effect on the player base.

    I know it's not huge numbers, but I do like that more players are in the Opt-In and giving feedback. I'm still finding reportable issues regularly...AND...I'm seeing them showing up on Tots' release notes for the next patch, so...we're still moving forward!

    I actually don't see a reason anymore to not play the opt-in, we all know it's what we're gonna end up with anyway. Those still playing open beta should think about quitting the game.

    There are 5 populated servers when i usually install to play the optin,
    1 Sout American
    3 Europian (banned on 2)
    1 NA
    all rotating small BDX maps.


    as soon as this changes,won't play the current open beta

    True but I was talking about these "open beta is so much better, this is garbage, omg [mod edit], devs so stupid, opt-in is [mod edit] guys, doubt those will take more than 10 minutes of time to see how the opt-in actually is. Not sure what's their reasoning behind playing a version that will be terminated sooner or later.

    I am fairly confident this next patch is going to surpass the Open beta. :)

    Yeah true, I got lucky with being unbanned on 2 of those 3 because they forgot to carry over their banlists and apparently don't know it's me (another proof of people banning for other people's [mod edit] instead of actual investigations but that's another topic).

    Don't really understand why such a huge part is still on the open beta though. Besides some issues that can be fixed it's great and can surely become a great game.
