I believe it is best to keep the beta closed for as long as possible. Lean on willing persons in your community to play test the game as needed. As you already know, early access equals early reviews and early reviews are often unfair.
[quote]note: we also have a ZoC issue we are working on. But I didn't want to hold up this patch for the fix. So when we have the ZoC fix, we will patch again. [/quote] As annoying as this bug is, it isn't really game-breaking. The "Insufficient Space" bug that permanently blocks tiles from development and the "Battle Pathing" bug that locks the game in an infinite loop are both worse in my opinion, they just don't get comparable forum attention.
