ive also got an optimus card ... time to let blizzard know :D

I really, really hope they take a look at consistancy and ladder ranking when determining who to distribute beta keys to
all I know is if a player who plays 1 game a week and is silver gets a beta key and I don't, I will be quite sad ;;
here's to luck, in all its glory.

Day[9] said at the end of the Trial of the Xel'Naga today that they were going to give out some beta keys to the audience.

Blizzard is the Led Zeppelin of software publishers....
in an industry of formulaic work published on a rigid annual release schedule that adheres to accounting deadlines and not quality standards...
Blizzard says... FUCK YOU...
we are releasing our work of art only when its ready.
to keep the analogy going
SC2 is "Physical Graffiti"

This obviously wont happen in long term, since blizzard want the game tested on all levels. But perhaps in the startup.

You mean they used to be good, you play their old stuff and hope that the new stuff will be just as good, but it never is? xD
Ahh..

Blizzard doesnt even care to hear input from anyone lower than diamond (and thats only if you're a random player). They said that themselves as far as balance is concerned.

Hey everyone, got a bit of sad news about the mod. Blizzard emailed me today about some concerns they have of the mod becoming too similar to the Closed Beta, the potential for confusion and conflict between the custom and beta versions of Heart of the Swarm, and how in being so similar my map technically will allow people to bypass the Closed aspect of the Beta. As such, the maps will be taken down from all servers as of Monday, 3rd of September 2012. I say this now so that people can make the most of the limited time left on the maps before it goes down.
So I guess this will be it for the mod, I will say though that it's been a good run, and much of where the mod is today is thanks to all the feedback you guys were able to provide. I hope that everyone made the most of the opportunity they had, and looks forward to doing the same thing in the real Heart of the Swarm some time in the near future. I am glad that I was able to work on such a project and provide people this great opportunity to experience Heart of the Swarm.
As far as my map-making ventures are concerned. I have an entirely unrelated project called Micro Match that I still need to finish, which hopefully will be out sometime in the not too distant future, but no deadlines yet.
So thanks again for all your support, and I hope you make the most of these last moments before the maps go down. Seems like we are getting close. Rofl... That's so stupid. They are like "yeah we only want closed beta to play not even a mod is playable!" Thank's blizzard so now when I don't get in I can't even play the mod to keep me calm -_-.
I think the reason is the confusion that it might make. A ton of people will play the HotS beta, and others will play the HotS custom map, and the stats and other number might not match, and it will cause a lot of confusion about the balance and other stuff.
For example, there was a lot of confusion and bragging when they someone said that Reapers currently have 7 range and it was a mistake.

Stop mamking excuses for Blizzard. It's easy to change unit stats on the custom map, thus easy to mirror HotS. Greedy Blizzard don't want people to play it and decide the game is shit == less sales.

I hope they give betas to people that a) actively play and b) play a lot
would be a shame to start handing them out to everyone and anyone who has a battle.net account.
Maybe a reason why people aren't playing alot is because the game has gotten stale? I feel like I get less enjoyment out of the game now.. but thats just me

Greedy company wants people to buy their game to play it. Well I never

Thats just part of why we suck so hard vs koreans. Yes they play some other games on the side too but they don't get bored as easily as we are and are just so much better at playing a game over a very long time frame without getting burned out.
What you are experiencing is just you being a foreigner 
Plus there is still a healthy core of very active players at all leagues in this game, wait till it takes you half an hour to get each ladder game, then we can talk about less people playing a lot...

I just don't like greedy companies making up condescending excuses. What's worse is idiot fanboys lapping it up and spreading it around like stooges, thus pontifying said greedy company.

You just called every starcraft 2 fan an idiot fanboy whilst posting on a starcraft 2 forum... If anyone around here is acting pompous and condescending it is you.

They said they don't want to hear from them, but that's only because people in silver league don't know what the fuck they're talking about. But they'll still give beta keys to bronzies just to get the win rate statistics.
