"We will be extending the beta to make up for lost time." See you cried enough *wink* *wink*

Oooo that's the one! That had a terribly unstable beta too.

People don't usually sign up for betas not knowing what to expect...
Despite many treating them as such, a beta is not a demo, even if a demo can still be the beta form of the final release.

Well at least that is good.
Oh, I bet they're extending it.
This is the launch of the full game, right here. I bet once the beta is stable, they'll start selling characters and cosmetics and such. Then come March 2016, they'll sell all of the content released so far on a disc called Street Fighter V.

Destiny in general was just one of the most stable online game launches I've seen, especially so considering how big it was. I don't know what Bungie did, but I wish more developers were as on-point (not in reference to this, just in general).

Capcom making the right moves.
No I'm not. I have promotional posters in my store for this game and beta. You don't have to have access to walk into my store, see it, get excited, get your code, download and get met with a nice title screen.
No one should have to go anywhere to find the purpose of the beta except for the beta itself. Why not just have it right there when you load up? That so hard? Guess so.
Not sure why you're defending so hard. It's a simple concept and should be fairly simple to execute. Inform the customer in your beta itself.

At least we know it's a real beta. Plus I get more of my days off to play the sweetness
Well, that sounds like a "goodnight, cya tomorrow" to me.
And it's fine to be upset or bummed about not being able to play tonight, but it seems silly to be mad at them about it all the same.

Probably an issue with the system software update that went out yesterday.
iirc, Evolve beta had an issue due to that as well.

It was obvious what this was from the get go. If people need a reminder or to be informed, the wealth of the internet is at their fingertips. A message would have been nice, but it's not like they've been shy about what this is since they announced it.
Actually, I just checked that if you go to either the manual or beta details after you download it, it tells you what the purpose of it is. So it doesn't have an in-game one, but it's listed before you hit the game itself.
Good on them for doing this. Though a fix for the beta right now would be nice.

Well I guess it's not really a loophole, but you can just pre-order, get the code, and then cancel.

Yep, they basically said "it's fucked I dunno man, come back tomorrow and hope it's back"
Goodnight ya'll. It's been fun.
EDIT: SOMEONE JUST DONATED 500 TO MAX? What the hell mang.

I don't think the latter would imply the opposite if it wasn't.

And this is why we have betas. To test things. If ya wanna be on the cutting edge, expect a hiccup or two. No biggie.

This why I like LEGIT betas as opposed to mislabelled demoes. Now we know this shouldn't happen on launch day.
A step in the right direction now just fix that beta pls
Gut reaction says their entire online infrastructure is fucked atm with no root cause currently; hence no ETA on fix. They're still trying to figure out the root cause I bet.

That's good news.
It's too bad they're having so many issues right now, but identifying these problems is one of the purposes of the beta test. I hope they can resolve the problems soon.
As English isn't my native language my only reaction to trying to understand what you wrote is:
I thought you said "If ya wanna be on the cutting edge, get a haircut." I thought it was pretty clever, but its nothing close to what you said. lol.

So is anyone able to play? Or is it off across the board.

Lol. "If ya wanna be on the cutting edge, expect a stab or two..."

I hope so. But honestly roll outs are the worst. Though what's fixed today, won't be the issue next time.
Exactly. Anyone posting here should know better.
Much bigger problem than a simple stress test when you entire online infrastructure is simply not working at all. Finding root cause(s) fast in this case is key and I really hope they do. Until then, not even a training stage for anybody let alone an actual match. They must be going crazy at Capcom HQ btw.
