There is alot of placeholders currently in WF but it is still in BETA. For me its Ambulas, that boss needs some serious fine tuning like what Vey Hek got.

Let's be clear about this. Warframe is NOT in a traditional beta phase. Therefore, we do not need to "cut them some slack" for errors in the software. To do so actually defeats the purpose of our involvement. Warframe is in "Perpetual Beta" as defined in the 'Software release lifecycle' wiki.

 

Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

 

Here's an excerpt from the text, so you don't have to chase links. However, I encourage you to read the wiki; it's useful and interesting.

 

"(Traditional) Beta

"Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. It generally begins when the software is feature complete. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release and this is typically the first time that the software is available outside of the organization that developed it.

...

"(Perpetual Beta)

"Some software is kept in perpetual beta—where new features and functionality are continually added to the software without establishing a firm "final" release.

...

"As the Internet has facilitated rapid and inexpensive distribution of software, companies have begun to take a looser approach to use of the word "beta". In February 2005, ZDNet published an article about the recent phenomenon of a beta version often staying for years and being used as if it were in production level, disparagingly called "perpetual beta". ... ... In the context of Web 2.0, people even talk of perpetual betas to signify that some software is meant to stay in beta state. Also, "beta" is sometimes used to indicate something more like a release candidate, or as a form of time-limited demo, or marketing technique.
