2.3 Beta Release News (27th Feb)

Silence isn't something that works too well on a public forum mate. Too bad I'm saying something you and all the other FD stalwarts don't want to hear.
All I hear is a cult that hangs around these forums defending Frontier delay, after delay, after delay since "Fall 2016" for the release of 2.3.
I'm sure places other than the Frontier forums will be far more open to rational discussion.
Almost correct.
Some things can only be tested on a clone server that replicates completely the wild "live" server.
Simulations in-house can only go so far.
They need to see the game's behaviour with all the myriad types of computers and the variety of network connections in the wild.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call Developers Zone.

Communication is the issue. I was wondering about 2.3 and all the upcoming stuff on gamescom - nothing of that was even mentioned. That´s where I really asked myself what happened in the Developement department and what went wrong. But instead of talking to us they did a sneaky change of their website that Season 2 continues into 2017 - no official notice in the forums, nothing - that´s where I went really angry and accused FD of not talking to us and doing a very bad release management. And that´s the only department where FD has to spend some work on. That was really bad and did not help anyone. We should have had some more information regarding the progress of Season 2 back in fall 2016. End of story. Already forgotten.
Now it´s a new situation.
Delays can happen and will happen in software developement, even if the game was running bug-free on the test servers they may have ran into a deployment issue beyond everyones control, or simply made some mistakes during developement. Whatever happened, it will happen again. I don´t care about a delay of the beta, especially when we are talking about a couple of days.
You should hire me to post all this stuff about delays and stuff.
My name fits a treat.
I can just post an arrow pointing to my name, job done....
2.3 Beta, coming Soon(TM)

Oh dear. You've not experienced one of FD's perfect Beta-releases.....clearly. But finding the obvious bugs they missed is all part of the Beta "fun".
Hey we are trying to get better but then we shoot ourselves in the foot by evangelizing about Agile development which basically gives us a free pass to be late on things
I've been in that situation as a software developer myself. When you have to cancel an update (or beta), usually, you knew for some time. That means there are some serious issues and these don't pop up at the last minute. But, as a developer, you always think that you're going to fix it, find a workaround, when, deep inside you, you know that it's not going to cut it....
Ohhh dayum, son...that some hella shade. Gonna be an ice age up in here.

Whoa! Just captured a weird rumbling sound up here in the attic of Eafots! Hold on, wait... It's .-- .- .- ...., and it just keeps repeating. Appears to be coming from Sol, and from far in the past. I wonder if it's related to today's news???
Wow. Good moderating.
For beep sake! I took time off college to play this
Never take the day off to play an update (beta or otherwise)....
Anything can happen, especially in beta and that is without there being download/server issues once it is released.
You say it all nothing to say above that.Using P2P within a fast paced mostly space combat game and see it working as intended, is a early wish to became true in this age of bad overall connectivity health between contents.
