I know, but my point is they don't need to finish everything to launch beta. The game doesn't have to be all but complete.

And games usually aren't fully completed when beta is released either.

[QUOTE=Rbstr;576676]Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to balance the weapons if the class trees aren't finished or the weapon mods system doesn't work properly yet or the maps aren't laid out and at least functional to some point or any of the number of secondary and tertiary things you really need to have.[QUOTE]
Actually, this brings up an interesting point.

Mr. Higby, if you read this: be clear and up-front in beta about the rate of speed the offline training will be upon launch. It's okay to speed it up for testing purposes, or unlock it entirely, or whatever, during the beta -- but don't let people get caught off-guard (even people who don't make an effort to look for information!) about a slower pace of time-based learning when launch hits.
