Are they going to be giving anyone who signs up beta keys? If their goal is balance testing, why don't they give beta keys to players in leagues say, masters and higher?

Yes I am masters. I am biased. Shoot me.

Would be funny if only Masters would get keys (if ranking system stays the same). Some masters would get bronze, silver and so on. ^^;

I think master players should have a higher percent chance of a key as you said, but a good mix is probably something blizzard wants since they often want the game to be appealing to the masses as well.

well you want some low level players to make sure there's no strategy that is broken to the point they're idiot proof

imagine if there was some 1 base mass warhound build that could 1a over a KR GM in TvT. this seems extreme, but there were some strategies in early Frozen Throne beta that were comparably broken :\


Yeah but I have a friend who insists observers are the most OP thing in the game and never shuts up about it. I don't want to see that about the oracle from a bronze player who doesnt even have enough scvs to kill the bubbles or marines.

they arent going to listen to them whine jsut watch them play

yeah but that's why you need to ignore long raging paragraphs and look at replays for evidence

if your friend is capable of beating a player 2-3 levels out of his league by massing observers that's the evidence you need that they're op

obviously he cannot provide that

I hope a few people out there focus not on the balance but on the actual unit mechanics... *COUGH* warhound *Cough* a move *cough*

Also, this sounds pretty sweet, maybe then they'll actually listen to people

Cheers OP

I'm actually a bit apprehensive about the timing of this beta. The TvP Battle Report was a bit rough not only in unit design but also in general. The Widow Mine was still using a Spider Mine model, a Shredder wireframe, a PDD icon for its Factory build icon, and a Shredder icon in the spectator's unit production bar. Some of the Protoss buildings looked a bit buggy, like the Gateway missing its crystal or the Stargate warping in with a bugged animation. I think the Battle Report even had framerate slowdowns during the end-game deathball battles.

Not only that, but we also have not seen the new Nydus Worms that they've been planning to implement. And there still need to be fixes to the issues brought on by the 1.5 patch.

I really hope the beta isn't too soon for them to address all these issues properly.

I think the temptation to just 6 pool every game would be too great for me to resist.

For all we know that battle report was played back when the others were shown. They could have held it back knowing there was:

1) balance whining about the TvP matchup

2) needed something to wet the appetite of people who want beta access.

I started in beta patch 10. Played 2.5k games till release. Since release I have played roughly 10-15k matches in 1v1. Idk if they look at our numbers, but I hope I've dedicated enough as a nonpro to get an invite. Soo ready for expansion and a skill reset.
