Ah, I see. But at the start I got to choose from: Newcomer, beginner, veteran if I recall right. It said something about gamespeed etc. So it got me wondering: does each ''difficulty'' have it's own ladders.

Someone I know just found their blizzcon card and typed it 2 days ago what are the chances of them receiving the key now ?

I put my BlizzCon card in the day beta went live and I still haven't gotten my key yet. I wouldn't count on your friend's chances being high.

From the e-mail I got after putting in my BlizzCon key, all it says is that I'm guaranteed participation for a future beta - doesn't say anything about it being the SC2 beta.

Though I'm gonna be pretty pissed if they end up saving my key for Cataclysm instead.

I wanted to know if any Blizzcon code holders have gotten their email yet? (because apparently we dont get "auto" SC2 to our accounts).

Im a Blizzcon holder and have failed to get into beta first wave and the mini wave they sent out last week. So im hoping to get in today... (with my luck prob not).

But i have seen on the forums that only opt-ins have gotten their keys so far and gotten their beta through their account rather not through e-mail.

Thanks!!

Seriously fuck you blizzard.

Out of my 10+ vent friends who all have blizzard accounts TWO people got it, and here's the actual specs no bullshit of his laptop

# Operating system:Windows 2.6.1.7600 ()
# CPU type:Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5200 @ 1.60GHz
# CPU Speed (GHz):1.62
# System memory (GB):0.998
# Graphics card model:ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
# Graphics card driver:atiumdag.dll
# Desktop resolution:1440x900
# Hard disk size (GB)

4.52
# Hard disk free space (GB):5.456

Fuck that shit, he can't even run it

Edit:

SERIOUSLY WTF. Why would you give someone with those specs beta. My other friend who has it can barely run it too. On the other hand everyone else has systems ranging from mid to high-enthusiast and no dice.

oh lol, you'd be surprised how well sc2 runs on those specs. At minimum settings the game is perfectly smooth and lag-free

# Operating system:Windows 2.6.1.7100 ()
# CPU type:Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2060 @ 1.60GHz
# CPU Speed (GHz):1.62
# System memory (GB):1.998
# Graphics card model:ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
# Graphics card driver:atiumdag.dll
# Desktop resolution:1280x800
# Hard disk size (GB):76.294
# Hard disk free space (GB):4.434

to be fair, the core engine has been the same since around 2005/6, so the game isn't exactly cutting edge or anything

This is what I was hoping for but sadly no beta yet.

Spring Break starts after my last midterm in ~10 hours.

No, it actually will not run well at all at least on his. There's random black patches and stuttering. It could be from dust or whatever but thats kinda doubtful since he runs other games that are similar like war3 fine. It's probably not a bottleneck from his internet since he's on gatech network.

Edit: And ram shouldn't matter but seriously? 1 gig of ram...and that's not even the effective available, you're a smart guy I'm sure you can estimate how much free ram he'd have and that's ONLY running his os + sc2.

I wonder if Blizzard knows this isn't just bumming us fans out, it's driving us to depression and insanity.

Anyone have an answer to my question? Do the choices: Newcomer, Beginner, Veteran matter in the long run? Can they be changed somehow? Or do they not matter at all because the placement matches will just throw you out against people with similiar scores in the placement matches anyway. But I heard the actual gamespeed is different, depending your pick. Which is why I'm wondering.

Ugh, this is always so terrible. It almost makes me wish that people wouldn't post when they got keys, just so I wouldn't feel bad about not getting one.
