I'm wondering if, now that the patch is out, we might see some more opt-ins/keys go out for the weekend . . .
|
Given the amount of time since the last wave and how much time there was between launch and the first wave I'd say it's definatly possible. At the same time, Blizz employees dont work on weekends
|
I'd say if Blizzard really want to test latest patch, they would want more people, unless they still want to see how their servers work out with the current amount/don't care about inviting at the moment.
BUT I'd say it would make the most sense to have another wave today or this weekend - it's post patch and adding more people will definitely help test the balance.

So far both waves have been in the beginning of the week, I'm assuming this is because at weekend they won't have as many people ready for support so I doubt they're going to send any more on friday.
But yup third time is the charm, I believe~~~~

Nope, I think the beta was launched Wed or Thursday last week so it was kinda middle weekish, and than 2nd wave came 3-4 days later. It's now been 4 days since the 2nd wave, hopefully something soon. I'm still highly disappointed my cake key is years away!

This WoW bashing is pretty hilarious.
I play WoW and I'm top 5-10 in my platinum division since day 1. You guys should stop being so closed minded.

The ones who are currently getting invites but aren't actually SC fans are pretty much all WoW players because random people aren't going to make a bnet account and opt-in, thus the hate for the WoW players they're "stealing" invites. lol.
And also like throwing fuel to the fire is the fact that WoW is infamous for having some of the most immature fanbases ever.

We were targeting three to five months for the beta, we're really at a three month period of time for the beta at this point. We are still targeting the first half of this year
This is really a beta focused on play balance and on testing server load.

3 month beta trying to test the limits of the server. The next wave(s) can't be far off.

I believe the first wave was on a wednesday when the beta came out. I guess your argument makes sense since they are still available during the week to take support, BUT I WANT TO BELIEVE

"king regards" if he called them he would get a better answer than an automated e-mail

I really think shorter the better. Theres 2 more expansions coming out, balance is going to be an ongoing thing. I would hate for them to continually spin their wheels trying to perfect the game.
I also think the campaign editor should be tested after release, but that's just my opinion. I don't believe in the editor slowing down release of a playable game

i red somewhere that blizzard employees are give each 4 keys fro friend and family, so Blizzard can not let too many people into the beta or the ebay prices would drop.
Sounds kinda like a rip off at first, but at 2nd thought ii red somewhere that blizzard employees are give each 4 keys fro friend and family, so Blizzard can not let too many people into the beta or the ebay prices would drop.
Sounds kinda like a rip off at first, but at 2nd thought i think it is just fair for the small blizzard guys to get these 800-1000$ from ebay, because they made WoW which makes Millions and i doubt they get much from that cake.
So it is just fair i think, you could argue that it sux the good old starcraft players have to pay the bonus for the good work on WoW, but well it is just an option to pay it + the big blizzard guys you are getting rich with WoW sure wont give away their money and after all, Starcraft 2 comes out with a fair price. Starcraft 2 will cost the same like every other game, but it sure as hell is worth more than all those other mediocre games. think it is just fair for the small blizzard guys to get these 800-1000$ from ebay, because they made WoW which makes Millions and i doubt they get much from that cake.
