    Assuming it's a rollout over a week's time, it should be fine. If they're completely randomly selected, chances are good that any random selection is just as good as any other.
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

    Yeah, wasn't the last one the custom arenas for sPVP? I can't remember how long it took them to get it to everyone though.

    True. I've been looking for the exact time it went out of beta, but I'm having trouble finding it, all I've found out about the custom arena beta was when it was first launched. While it was longer than a week I don't think it was too long, I think it was out of beta by the next release or the one after. If you or someone else can find the exact date custom arenas were out of beta that would be great, it could help to establish a possible time frame for the lfg to be released for everyone.

    Yup you're right Mel, finally found it, and it was indeed roughly 3 months. I say roughly because the month in which the beta became available was almost over. Hopefully they can get the lfg to everyone in the same amount of time or faster.

    How do they decide LFG-beta testers? In pvp they took the hardcore people in competitive play... but who are that version of pve players?

    Pot luck more than likely, you can't put an ability to pve players like you can with PvP.

    I would imagine since this phase of the release doesn't have the WvW capability yet that they picked very active players that run lots of dungeons and fractals. Quite possibly limited to Dungeon Masters so it would be less about derping around trying to figure out how to do a dungeon and more about giving the LFG tool a workout.

    Nobody in my FL has the beta and we're all DM and make 20g/day from dungeons so I doubt they targeted that niche.

    I imagine it's random who they chose, maybe something like 10% of each server or whatever.

    For dungeons, fractals, personal story, invasions, etc
    Haven't seen it. Is it like the wow version now or the older version where you'd put your name in a group and wait for the individual to message you?
    Take the Serena challenge
