What made the final open BETA so good in my opinion.

1. The graphics were beautiful and ported over from PC perfectly!   I have the Xbox One X. I don't even think I turned on 4 K during BETA. Love love loved the visual quality. 

2. The integration of the controller felt good to me. Combat. Gathering. Cooking. Fishing. Questing. Beauty shop. Dye system. Housing.Central Market. 

3. Away from Keyboard support! Tested it several times and never once was booted from the game for inactivity. 

4. The fireworks event in the evening the last day! I had no idea it would be so epic. It felt surreal. I'd never really been to the arena so that alone made it a bit of an adventure for me. It's funny I've ran right by the arena countless times and never stopped or noticed it until the event. Found it easily by the mass of player dots on my mini map. 

5. The ultimate package made available during BETA. I smashed my pets together a few hours before the end of the BETA no luck getting a tier 3. Dyed the costume in the package with a few touches of pink for a really cool look.

6. Photo mode support!!! It needs some additional features or tweaks in my opinion, but even if they don't improve it's functionality I can still get some amazing recordings and stills. 

7. I didn't have a single connectivity issue. I had a little lag in the city on the final day but it was not enough or constant enough to ruin my enjoyment. Later, during the fireworks when there were 20 to 50 players and lanterns and fireworks and player versus player all going on at once,  my game experience didn't grind to a turtles pace. I'm sure it must have slowed or dropped some pixels but where ever it was doing this I was amazed at how well hidden it was. 

8. I love fishing...just wanted to say that.

9. Last but not least what made it so good was you...every one of you breathing life in to the NA server. Your style. Your uniqueness.

Yes the fireworks at the end was the best.Everyone was gathered around the arena looking up to the night sky.Many sending their prayers for BDX to be successful to the heavens with their lanterns.Im not going to lie,I got a little emotional during it

Both a happy and sad time. So happy the launch is within 2 weeks away, a little sad their won't be another event like the fireworks to replicate the community coming together. That is until server shutdowns waaayyyyyy down the road. But thats foolish to think of now, really looking forward to gathering of guildies once the game launches!
