Yeah, pretty much just gave the beta a middle-finger for now. I understand why they're closing worlds, but the fact that they've basically said "yeah, we'll fix 3102 but it won't happen until beta ends" is really not the best way to deal with it. IMO they should extend beta because this is a pretty serious issue.

I'm GLAD I'm playing as a gladiator, it's so quick to enter an instance.

Does the Duty Finder thing work? Nobody joins my party--and why won't it put me in a party someone else has already created? It's like everyone creates a party for themselves but nobody auto joins? Or am I doing something wrong... :v

I guess I should post my IGN here and add people who posted theirs. Especially since the cat is evil and ignored to include me in the whole "planning on making a guild" post!
Lyrveil Rayva on Ultros. I'm a conjurer if anyone needs a healer. Managed to get it to 20 in this beta, also got level 12 botany and 10 weaving.

They still haven't fixed mine. Pointless. So annoying.

"Phase 4 of the Beta Test was originally scheduled to conclude on Aug. 19, 2013 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT). However, given the fact that affected characters are numbering in the tens of thousands and the time it will take to address the situation including the time required for the emergency maintenance, we will be extending the Beta Test until Aug. 19, 2013 8:00 a.m. (PDT) for Worlds hosted on the North American and European datacenter."

Yay let's extend the time for people while they're sleeping.

OB's bugs and lack of Squeenix communication was really disappointing. Even though I liked the game for the most parts.
I'll give it a few weeks to see how things go before I decide whether to buy the game or not.

At least since the beta is coming to a close, they opened up more worlds. In the 2 hours left of beta I'm making my character (Aelyn Rose on Ultros) and getting to an inn ASAP.
Very disappointed at how P4 went. I know that this was a massive OB but SE set their expectations too low.

Well that is hilarious--extending it for a few more hours overnight. XD
I liked it overall. Got to lvl 19 on my mage. Did two instanced dungeons, still convinced that the Duty Finder is crap and doesn't work properly. I mean, I know healers and tanks are in short supply, but that shouldn't stop the party matching system from trying to build parties from the roles that are present. For example, when I make the party, the requirements are 1 healer, 1 tank, 2 damage dealers--yet my party stays at 1/2 damage dealers (myself only) even though there are lots of other characters in the exact same boat. Rather than putting two DDs into a party to have it slightly closer to being complete (2/2), it just creates an individual party for each one. That probably makes things way more inefficient. :|
As for the server situation, they obviously didn't do this perfectly from the perspective of players who wanted to join a specific server with their friends for the OB. But still, they've done an amazing job, if you think about it; their server infrastructure was able to scale fast to allow for this record-smashing number of simultaneous players. And they were able to get this up and running for OB, even though they know that most of these players won't be buying the game after, and so the servers will be underutilized. I can only imagine what kind of a train wreck it would be if Nexon was in charge here... LOL.
