No there definitely a decline in animation and visuals in general (no scenery porn here ). For example, both Boar fights in the first episode looked better even if the battles itself wasn't exciting on whole. Ep 2 had the more interesting fight, but it was pretty stiff for half of it and it relayed more on visual tricks and cut corners to keep momentum. I also didn't like how a lot characters just stood there most of time

I believe in the concept of human decency and goodness, but the Beater's are under no obligation at all to help them. They shouldn't act like the tester's owe them any favors just because they got the game a couple of months early. If the beater's were PKing then I'd understand, but they're looking out for themselves, same as any person would in that situation.
This.

Once Egil pointed out the manual I found it really hard to sympathize noobies who wouldn't even take simple precautions to safeguard themselves. Did they forget this was a merciless death game now? What does it matter in the end if someone was a beta tester or not? This not a competition and frankly wouldn't be surprised half of 2000 players died more from idiocy than anything else. I dunno the whole beater thing felt rather "forced".
