Raids Temporarily Off-line

A lot of us pre-purchased Heart of Thorns to get access to the beta with the intention of experimenting and testing the raid content. As soon as the beta went live, we updated, made new classes, and waited outside the raids, only to get inside and get booted immediately. If you were lucky enough to get to make it inside of the raid, you would grind through three trash mobs, only to get dc’d by the boss. Most of us waited for hours for the UI to be fixed outside of the portal, only to be greeted with forum posts saying “we’re working on it”. After having it confirmed as working by a developer as “fixed”, we logged back on in an attempt to get back into our raids. If you had the misfortune of being tagged during this time any change of map or dc would leave you done for the night.This didn’t just affect those of us attempting to test raid content, it affected the commanders who were participating in reset night on wvw, Guild leaders taking their guildies through missions, and even people who were generally helping others and were tagged up at the time.Due to the extent of the issues and the hype that came around the raids and the Beta Weekend in general, I feel like some form of compensations would be a nice condolence to “heal some of the wounds” not just to the beta players, but everyone affected by the unfortunate bugs yesterday, as well as to boost the moral of the community for the expansion to come.
