I have been unable to participate in the past two public testing sessions due to them being during the weekdays and my own schedule not giving me enough free time to thoroughly test things. Furthermore, both of them also ended before Friday, the weekday that most people have time for.
I am not making this post solely because I was unable to participate. Truth be told, I might not have done so even if I did have the time because of the leveling/pet maxing difficulties I hear about. What I’m more concerned about is the number of people in the same situation as myself, the weekends are the times when most of the playerbase is available. Why have both of the previous sessions ended before Friday when that’s the time most people have enough time to actually be thorough? I get that DECA doesn’t work weekends and you want to be able deal with bugs that prevent people from getting in and such, but surely starting it on Monday would give you enough time to deal with that? I know this whole “not working on weekends” thing hasn’t ever stopped you from running chest events over the Friday-Sunday period before, so why is public testing this way?
I don’t think the testing sessions are giving enough people enough time to get proper feedback. I’m sure the current system hasn’t been a total loss, I just don’t think it’s very efficient.
