re: Modern Games and Patching

I don't know if that's the question. This opens the can of worms about betas and makes me remember the MoH beta.

A lot of complaints about it were the graphics that popped on your screen when you got points. It was this red ribbon, it was kind of translucent, but it was obtrusive and players didn't like it. They eventually patched that out of the beta, showed something different, and that became the standard.

Now, betas are excellent ideas for fixing things like this, as far as presentation and party systems go.
