Ok, Dartide WILL be a great game, but this beta is becoming more beta-y than I would like.
Hopefully the mountain of server side bugs will be cleared by launch because launching in this condition will kill a game with lots of potential. The game is plagued with server crashes at the moment which are especially painful if you are in a mission when it happens. If anyone ever played WOW, maybe you can remember the weird limbo that game used to put you in when you were in an instanced dungeon on a server that was up, while the world server you were tied to was down... you knew that if you left the dungeon the game would crash so you just stayed put.
Unfortunately, in Darktide the hub server can go down and you won't know it until the mission is over and it goes to give you your rewards, at which point the game just crashes during hand-off and you lose XP and money you made in the mission.
