Did they mention anywhere how long it would last? Can't even access the beta forums currently to find out.
It's a beta test, this is common, especially on the first day of a phase.
I'm very surprised how well the servers are handling the load, very solid.

found 8 critical bugs in the first 2 hours of gameplay XD like certain quests doesn't show on the map, armory chest hotkeys disappearing, main quest bugged... I thought SE had internal testers who tested the game before they let commoners in?

What city? Only Gridania was available previously, and a lot of changes were made from phase 2.
Phase 4 is the commoners...
I believe i read in the notification around 20 minutes not sure though. And yea i didn't have any lag whatsoever so it is pretty good at the moment!

Agreed, my laptop is FAR from ideal, yet it handled the game quite well. I'm extremely happy so far... plus, this downtime allows me to do some work at my job and not get fired.
I don't think something not appearing on the mini-map can be described as a critical bug.
Not to mention if you don't have it in your duty list you won't see it on the map, did you have more than 5 quests active?
I would have also recommended that people take this time to RTFM, many things answered in there that may not be apparent when you start playing, it also describes how to do things that you will want to know. It's really worth looking at. Alas no beta forums.

Posted: Jun 14 2013 at 7:13 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Nope, I'm sorry. You send out a bunch of beta keys to people who were frustrated enough to walk away, and the first thing that happens when they even THINK about maybe giving SE another shot is "username or password is incorrect" for 20 minutes?
I think the maintenance is supposed to be somekind of server restart (at least it said that in the ingame notification), Hopefully shouldnt take that long

This is a very good indication of what's to come.
I should have known better.

Did you use the correct user name? It's not your email address.
I am trying out THM in ul dah and i must say so far i haven't seen a single bug. The battle system is a lot more polished from phase 2 i believe what do you think?

Those are temporary problems. This kind of situations are part of the beta as well. We do not test only the games itself but the servers at general as well.You should not expect everything to run smoothly in a BETA be reasonable. Anyway my friend logged in and downloaded everything without any problems so this are random problems that will be fixed. So keep calm :)

I do find it hilarious that you are getting *this* upset about a beta.... that's free.... that some others still are waiting for invites to....

I've used every known combination of every known username and pasword *AND* actually changed the password to make sure I hadn't forgotten. One should not, however, require a half dozen different logins for one company and one account.

You are correct. HOWEVER: SEcan't afford these kinds of temporary problems if they want to bring estranged players back to the fold. After 3 years and a completely failed first launch, there is a percentage of people that are going to have one problem, say "same fail different day" and go back to their lives.
Anyone have a server list so I can look at timezones and new vrs leagacy?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Whatever you used for your SE account, that's the ID and password, it's not "half dozen", there is one. One only.
Was I supposed to be able to use my level 50? I didn't see an option and couldn't get back in when i logged off to see if I had to make a new one first. Anyone know?

You know, there is no way you can have everything perfect in day one. And its day 1 of the BETA not even the release. If someone drops the game for the beta problems then sorry to say this but we don't want him in the game in the first place.
People should start be reasonable and play the beta for the reasons it is meant to be played.

Not until next weekend.
If you click on Worlds when you open the game client you can see their status:
