Or is that hidden from the B group too? Can't even tell us what they're going to be doing with the feature, just say its coming soon or it's already out. How vague can an announcement be?

This is typical of what gets me about INNO. They make statements, implement changes. Then do not have the decency to follow them through. They say the right words about wanting feedback but It does not seem to matter to them if we give good bad or indifferent feed back. And please do not ask for clarification or about how things are progressing. That will get the door slammed shut and nothing but silence. Unless of course they are only interested in what feedback they are getting on discord. In which case anything they have said here, or any input we give is just a waste of everyones time.

feedback for ab tests is always like:
90%+ complaining about (not) having it, depending on what is being tested.

with testing you are looking for difference in user behaviour, written feedback is mostly irrelevant.

i use duolingo and they are constantly doing ab tests. most of them i hardly notice... but i learn languages with friends and for some time we had two different courses for the same language, because of an ab test. annoying.

imo most of the time ab tests are looking to improve stuff for either user engagement or the platform revenue. both is fine for me.

@outoftheline Thank you for this concise and easy to understand explanation of ab testing. INNOs was more long winded and fluffy. All they needed was something simple and to the point. I am in the test group. And for the first time in a long time I am enjoying doing something new on the Beta server. Thanks to you I can now just do it and wait on INNO giving us the results when they are ready to.

I do feel it would be more user friendly if the Autobattle button was on the left, Replace units in the middle, and Attack on the right.

I am in the test group, and noticed that the Replace Units button is not shown in Continent map battles. I hope this is just an oversight and will be fixed before live release. otherwise, I love it !

It is now getting silly. We were supposed to be doing an A/B test here for this new army management button. So why have they now started doing the test on the live servers. Right in the middle of a GBG season?????? Given INNOs idea of what "random selection" means, this could give some guilds a big advantage.
But more to the point was our testing it here just disregarded that they had to now test it live? They have launched far bigger (QI for instance) things in the game with far more bugs in them despite being told it was to soon. But here they said nothing and gave us no feed back at all. If they (as they say they do) read the comments we make, they will know they have been positive and constructive. Yet we are ignored. There is no point in Beta any longer, and NO the fact that it is obviously so, will not have me go to the discord monkey house.

A/B testing sucks for those who can not get the advantage of it. We should all be able to test it or nobody. This gives certain players an advantage!
Click to expand...

In this case it is not exactly advantages, and that is what makes this even more aberrant, the number of battles that both groups can do is the same, now the speed with which they reach that value and the ease with which they reach that value is which will vary.

Obviously, in GBG the "advantage" may be that those who have this possibility do more battles in the same sector than others (closing it faster), who have to spend more time arranging units. And those will win more personal prizes than the others.

I think they (inno) still don't account for what they lose with these tests in terms of credibility and public support. GE5 and the changes to the auto-completion of related missions had/have a very large negative impact (and no testes were done to determine these impacts).

I don't think there is a single player who is against this introduction (it will just make the battles less monotonous), it is truly aberrant that they are testing this. I want to see if they have enough shame to come here and say they won't introduce this to all players.
