Adagio, I must disagree with you! Personally, I found this testing phase more interesting; I wanted to see all the Factions in battle, and the new multiplayer maps contribute to that. I wanted to be ready for the start of the phase, which was promised as early as the 9th, but, again, I didn't make it.
And in general... The new voice acting for warriors in battle... They should have ruined, for example, the priestesses and ghosts... It's awful. At least they slightly improved the city windows. The appearance of the city on the map has become better in terms of the presence of splashes and the natural beginning of waterfalls. But once again (apparently, already in the style of a sequel), fixing one flaw leads to the appearance of another, previously absent... Now, the water areas on the territory of the Sanctuary Fortress do not look like the rest of the water on the adventure map, but before the update, it was exactly like that... Just a flat surface... And the highlights remained - it looks funny... As if they are floating in the air...
I even liked the alpha version more than the current beta. The more they reveal, the less the game attracts (me personally). I hope that the final version of the game will still leave a better impression. Although, if I count how many times I have hoped in this thread... Olo-lo, there are no other words... Keep hoping, they say.
