Ive just pre-ordered HOTS through the TL store. I got my confirmation email, I'm just curious about how I'm supposed to receive my HotS beta key. If anyone knows whats going on with this, please let me know Thank you

Edit : I did not see at first, but there is a little notice on Amazon saying the email with the key should arrive in a few days. Don't panic :D

I assume so, shipping might just be ugly. As it is, shipping to Canada, Im apprehensive about the 1-2 week wait

Have you checked your PMs? Back when the TL documentary got released, I got the info on how to get the free poster there.

From what I read in the HOTS release thread, you can't get a beta key from this offer for an European account (unless you've also a NA WoL account). You need to buy HOTS for the same region as your WoL account, and the TL offer is only available for the NA version of HOTS.
You can, though, purchase a EU HOTS from the european amazon and still support TL (you need to begin navigating via the TL store to do so I believe, then search your product), but you won't receive a beta key.

Read the site, it's written in plain English in a circled box titled "Beta Access for Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm"

It would be lovely if it was available on Canadian amazon as well.. I have to pay extra shipping + wait 8-16 days (minimum, for the cheapest delivery) after release for it to be delivered to Canada.

Does anybody know if the HOTS pre-order would work for a SEA account? Considering we have access to NA server... I'm not sure if it would still work

I just preordered from http://www.gamestop.de/

I quote the TL facebook page directly:

"Probier's mal hier: http://gamestop.de/PC/Games/23023/starcraft-2-heart-of-the-swarm-add-on " (side note: does this confirm that zatic is doing TL's facebook page? )

+ Show Spoiler +
Translation because it's TL and I always personally hate it when people post shit I don't understand:

"Try this place out: <link>"


I don't think that'll support TL but I've just ordered and the confirmation email said "Betakey." Probably Germany only, but I'm not sure. Haven't got key yet though, I'm guessing I'll have to wait a couple of days.

For the aussies:
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/default.aspx?P=665503

I just ordered mine from JBHIFI. Sorry TL, but amazon shipping costs way to bloody much to Australia. 15$ shipping for a box with a disk in it isn't worth it.

Does the region you buy matter for HOTS, considering global play will (finally) be implemented?
I want to preorder online but if I can't be guaranteed access to the SEA server, I'm not interested.

Won't matter probably. Also, you can contact Blizzard to change your region, IF you really need to.
But Global Play will probably make all versions essentially the same, safe for language packs.

The 40 bucks raise to 67 to do the preorder from Spain in amazon.com. My beta key will have to wait
Probably amazon.co.uk makes the same offer soon.

Anyone tried game.co.uk? They have the Beta key promotion but somewhere it says "UK only". I would like to know if they will send the beta key to someone outside UK or not.

I've seen absolutely nothing to tell me when exactly, but it says I've "secured access" to the beta

edit: I sent them a message asking when I'll get it, will edit again when they reply

edit2: I got the key sent at just after 9 this morning, but just found it in my junk mail folder. Damn spam filter.

GameStops in Finland offer the beta key as well. They just haven't put it on their web page yet. After I saw the offer on gamestop.de I called the nearest store and confirmed that the offer is valid also in here. Might be the same with other EU countries.

I'd support this if there was an EU version.

Just saying this so that whoever is giving the beta key (Amazon and/or TL) may consider EU customers the next time.

Wtf. It would cost me:$81.21 for the 2-4 day delivery. Really Amazon? Is there anywhere else I can buy it as a download or something and still get a beta key?

Game.co.uk has an overseas delivery option for 2,5-5 pounds additional , would be nice if anyone from outside the UK (mainland EU) could comment if their delivery is fast or slow...

Don't forget that Blizzard have always suplied the Download for free.. all you need is the CD key.
Try asking your retailers if they can just send you the CDkey?

I got my 8th copy of WoL for a steal on amazon and just asked them for the Key. Saved them on shipping and me on waiting.

How did you ask them? I have ordered it already. Should I cancel the order and then message them about it or just message them about my current order?

Just submit a customer enquirey and ask if they can just send you the key.

If you have already ordered the game however I would just have it delivered.

Just confirmed. game.co.uk gives the key with the pre-order, but only for UK customers.

If anyone finds a site within EU that gives the keys with preorder no matter where you live in, please let us know.

I'll keep looking.

I think that has a lot to do with their own site leaking the release date before their official announcement...

I really hope other amazon sites than .com get the keys soon, because I always preorder games from amazon and my morals are too important to me to just order at some random place and cancel the order when I get the key.

I suspect it's a way to appease the retail outlets long term :/ frustrating since Amazon is such a rip off though.

If anyone finds a site within EU that gives the keys with preorder no matter where you live in, please let us know.

I'll keep looking.



Put in UK adress and name, get key.

Cancel preorder

Problem?


Yes your billing adress is the problem.


Billing adress not a problem. Since you cancel the order... it will never get sent..


You need a correct billing adress for the card you use.. and unless you have lived in england the billing address wont be english.. Jesus its liek you have ever defrauded a company before..


No... You don't. I just pre-ordered with a danish credit card, and typed some bogus english adressalojng with other stuff...

i get my key.. i cancel my pre-order... so?

Morals?

You wanna talk about morals, in a free market economy and capitalism of retailers?

Lol bro. Everybody should get a key. It's JUST a fucking beta key you're getting for free... not the crown jewels of sweden or something. Relax. No harm in getting a few keys for free. They shouldn't even cost money in the first place.

Well not all of us have to be fine with that economy, now do we?
If everyone would say preorder via amazon and cancel after getting the key then amazon would obviously stop doing it, which would rob a lot of people who would preorder via amazon anyways of their key.

Right, this time it's a beta key. Where do you draw the line? If you're willing to do it for a "fucking beta key" then I am rightfully allowed to assume you'd do it for other shit. The key doesn't cost money, the game does. It's an extra free-be you get. Why the fuck do people think the beta key costs money when you're actually buying the game?

I'm interested in buying HotS through tl.net, for the two obvious reasons; A beta key and well I might as well support the site where I get most of my tech/gaming information and have done for the past ~8 years ;o.

My only problem is: Where is the EU version? Or is there not one available yet? My Wings of Liberty is EU so I want/need the HotS version to be EU too, for lag and compatability...

I just ordered the EU version from Swedish site webhallen.se.

As I didn't receive my beta-key right away after having my order confirmed, I grew suspicious and immediately called their support and asked whether there still were keys left or not. I asked the guy if he could process my order right away and then he sent me the key while we were on the phone, I suggest you guys do everything you can unless you wanna risk being left without a key. All in all it took me less than 5 minutes from ordering to get my key, time spent on the phone included.
whatever man

So, this offer through amazon does not send you the game key at release if you are in NA? They have to physically mail it?

Any alternatives that will send you the game key and forgo a physical copy? Or perhaps a digital download that also offers the beta key?

Same as lots of people here: I want to pre-order the EU version from somewhere. Can someone please confirm if the same is valid (or not) for amazon.co.uk or amazon.de and add a link to the TL store?
