Depends what you're using. But ADS shouldn't feel that bad, it didn't for me but maybe for others.
So I had a little look around the farm for the hour it was open. Looked pretty good and nice to explore for a little while.
Found the Dead Orbit section, scored a goal, found a few neat little spots for potential new stuff or Xur to hide in. Just a shame they didn't put vendors in. If you're going to test a server then the least you can do is get some interaction going.
I also didn't check when I first started but 20/30 minutes in, i checked the roster. 13 people was the highest that joined, not sure why they didn't push players together to stress the servers more either.
