Sorry for another sc2 beta thread, but I can't sift through the 1000s of posts already flooding into the sc2 forum.


BoT,
Has anyone with blizzcon beta keys (or non opted in keys) figured out where to DL? Do we wait for email? Has anyone gotten and email? Wtfbbq? Jesus? Sc2? Question mark?




..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=112612

this is all I have seen on the topic so far and it's pretty vague.

Btw, I know I submitted my key months ago, but how do I double check the status or whatever.

They've said they're starting to send out emails for BlizzCon beta keys, but the way it was stated by them made it seem like not all beta keys from BlizzCon would grant instant access in the first wave. So far no one has come forth to confirm their key worked.

everyone is still waiting for an email. if you want to confirm that you submitted your blizzcon key, you should have a confirmation message in your inbox from when you first submitted it.

I realize that everyone is going insane right now but for ANYONE WHO HAS BETA:

Can you post your system/internet specs and how its running? I feel this is really important and cool information. Are there any graphical things you can customize like low/mid/high? How does the game run on your system?

comments on the torrent:

Comments

sshalafi at 2010-02-18 00:04 CET:
BTW, if you have peer exchange you'll get all the peers from other trackers. I'm downloading at about 200KB/s.

Qcmax09 at 2010-02-18 00:10 CET:
is this real ? is it possible to get proof ?

sshalafi at 2010-02-18 00:13 CET:
It's real that the beta is out.
You can watch a stream here
http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=Liquid`NonY

I cannot prove you that the files are the good ones, but if you download the torrent you'll get all the seeds that are using Blizzard's tracker...

And I think that's proof enough.


NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 00:22 CET:
Leak is real, beta is out, please hackers crack this bitch as soon as possible. I am dying to play it.

FieryCoD at 2010-02-18 00:30 CET:
How do you possibly crack a beta? Just sign up at Blizzard's site and register an account for a key.

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 00:30 CET:
Anyone with completed download please comment

JPeterson at 2010-02-18 00:32 CET:
Where can I follow the progress of a bnetd patch that enables a private server?

NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 00:33 CET:
Not quite, beta is closed testing, you need legit cd key, so we only hope for some kind of crack so we can play skirmish vs AI or private server for multiplayer

FieryCoD at 2010-02-18 00:34 CET:
AFAIK, if you download the client you can play with bots, just not online with other peers.


So from now on, it is actually possible to play SC2??? Bots are everything I need right now

sshalafi at 2010-02-18 00:38 CET:
@JPeterson:

I'll update the description of the torrent as soon as I find one, and you can be sure that I'll be searching.

But if you want to find the original source of a crack, you should search in torrent sites. Chances are that scene groups will upload them there.


@NoNic2:

A private server with limited functionality shouldn't be hard to do. I expect them very soon.

NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 00:39 CET:
I have 2 hours remaining, maybe someone who already downloaded can comment...

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 00:41 CET:
23 min remaining definitely comment whned dl

Humbugger409 at 2010-02-18 01:00 CET:
Thank you sshalafi

Even if I can't play it yet, its nice to have it downloaded, heres to hoping there is a crack soon!

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:03 CET:
Agree. Big up to sshalafi

BishopAA at 2010-02-18 01:06 CET:
So you can't play even play bots without a beta key?

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:08 CET:
Antivir says clear, installation in progress


NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 01:10 CET:
We shall see when someone finish download but i think first screen you have to pass is online account screen, same as WoW. And almost forgot big thumbs up for sshalafi for upload

Humbugger409 at 2010-02-18 01:10 CET:
@bishop

I doubt it, just judging by description and the fact no one confirmed you could yet. But I'll let you know in 4 hours if no one else does before that anyway.

NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 01:12 CET:
lovesc2 is installing,he will comment any minute

yuuhuu at 2010-02-18 01:13 CET:
Yes its real !!! You need key to play !! dont download waste of time !!!

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:13 CET:
OK so calm down... installer is indeed workink but battle.net is problem. It will not let you in

sshalafi at 2010-02-18 01:15 CET:
@lovesc2
Well, of course, I already knew that from the Streams at teamliquid.

But you can download the game now and wait for the crack.

BishopAA at 2010-02-18 01:16 CET:
@yuuhuu
I don't think downloading will be a waste of time, a crack will come out quick.

@lovesc2
Thanks for confirming.

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:19 CET:
NoNic2 :
We shall see when someone finish download but i think first screen you have to pass is online account screen, same as WoW.

Thats true... you will see

Thats battle.net account does not include an associated copy of Starcraft 2. Please log into Battle.net account management and add the game to your account.

and thats ofcourse impossible without Blizzard beta inviting email, or blizzcon key.

Once again we have to wait :/

yuuhuu at 2010-02-18 01:24 CET:
BishopAA

Crack :D :D :D Loled !!! and what u whant to crack :D Battle.net :D ?

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:24 CET:
one more thing... this is definitely worthy of download. Installer works like charm, game is clean of viruses or whatever and game menu itself respons absolutely normally. So dl if you want to be ready.


NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 01:27 CET:
I am curious what private server will have balls to set up SC2 server as Blizzard no doubt have army of lawyers ready to attack lol (-:

BishopAA at 2010-02-18 01:28 CET:
@yuuhuu
A single player bot-only crack seems possible, no?

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:30 CET:
@NoNic2

I guess you are right. So what wer gonna do? Im sick watching streams and its even worse when you got it installed and ready.

phrawg at 2010-02-18 01:30 CET:
anyone who had downloaded this...can you do the obvious and seed?

Humbugger409 at 2010-02-18 01:31 CET:
Yea I'm sure we'll see a crack to let us play vs bots soon, at least I hope!

Eternus at 2010-02-18 01:33 CET:
I'm sure there's some Koreans working on a crack as we speak.

fyoshietnikka at 2010-02-18 01:33 CET:
lol I doubt a crack will ever come out for this beta. It's multiplayer only. No singleplayer and I doubt they added AI. RA3 had a pretty sought after beta and nobody cracked that and it was gamespy/EA hahaaha

Humbugger409 at 2010-02-18 01:35 CET:
@fyoshietnikka

It has bot support, there is a single player mode where you can pay 1v1, or 2v2 with bots this was confirmed before it even released.

Also all of Blizzards previous betas were cracked and running on private servers.

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:36 CET:
@fyoshietnikka

not true, during downloading i was watching nonys stream the one mentioned at second comment i think. First few games were played against AI.

BishopAA at 2010-02-18 01:37 CET:
@fyoshietnikka
Safe to say the demand for SC2 beta completely destroys RA3's beta.

NoNic2 at 2010-02-18 01:38 CET:
No PC game ever was safe from hackers, this will fall as quickly as possible as it is one of most wanted PC games in history. I bet hackers are hacking this as we speak

lovesc2 at 2010-02-18 01:41 CET:
@NoNic2

very true but is there any real presumption of crack release???

fyoshietnikka at 2010-02-18 01:42 CET:
Well I hope you guys are right. It was good idea to distribute it so anyone with coding skills can have a go.

I doubt he'll care about the resulting ban, seeing as he'll be playing too much SC2 to post on TL.
