Beta tests are cliche not every single map in existence needs one, I'm not saying you don't, but it's uncommon for me to find a new map that hasn't had some sort of beta testing. I understand it for big maps like Inferno Mines, Pantheon, and experimental maps such as Black Desert 2 (BDLOL), but for smaller quicker maps if the map maker can play through it without issues then it's fine or probably only requires small edits(which you can make after the release). I also know beta testing serves a purpose to improve the map, so I'll end my tiny rant here.
Seeing as the topic of beta-testing seems to have been started, I personally feel that it really does help.
I know that Infamy has recently sent out his first Intersection to some people, and, from what I remember that was posted yesterday, he is already making improvements. I made a mini-map a short while ago and even though I only sent it to 4 or 5 people the day before I released it, it still allowed me to make some last minute adjustments to it which I felt made it better!
If someone wants to beta test their map, it's their decision entirely. I disagree that it should only be for big maps, as it really is an important process of mapmaking (although if you feel as though you don't need to, that's also fine!)
Someone sent me a beta to a 2 wool mini-map beta, that's what pushed me to make the post.
I checked out the map it was broken to all hell.

Okay, I guess that I will just release a map and say that I will never touch it again. It is horribly unbalanced and looks bad. I get complaints because there was no beta to help me make the map better. Then I will say "Nope, I am done with the map and it is staying how it was released."
...Do you get the picture? Maps MUST go into beta first, or it will get hated on even more.

Thanks for the names! I've decided on one:
I saw that one of your suggestions was "Deadwater", and I read it as "Dreadwater". I then realized that you'd called it Deadwater, but I still like Dreadwater more.

What is your custom loot as a reward?
A block of glowstone named Jimmie. You can decide on its enchantments Or if you'd rather, you can make it Glowstone Dust and name it Jimmie Dust
Another update! A small change this time- see if you can spot the difference between this, and the last image I posted
I see the differnce, Im not gonna say it unless i get pie/ A special loot Item Hopefully besides awesome's lapis (I hope you include that since a co-lap map like this should be a combo of the makers best work and im apart of kroses XD

Yessir!
Looks nice! Skeletons of things are always neat (Grave of the Dragon was one of the coolest areas in Kaizo, IMO)
