Update: A poster on the sc2.178.com forums claims to have taken a picture of this announcement that's been posted in a lot of Korean PC Cafes saying that the beta will return on June 28th

[image loading]


Again, I can't vouch for authenticity, but it seems legit from a cursory examination.
---------------

http://playxp.com/sc2/news/view.php?article_id=1970777

PlayXP claims Blizzard sent them a private press release, stating that the second phase of beta is to be expected at the end of June. The pink high-lighted text is the relevant portion.

Apologies if this was posted before.

dreamhack is june 19th-21st.
there are still 2 qualifiers left.
And FA tells me that DH has always been in a tight knit relationship with blizzard.
Granted there might be technical issues but i expect the projected date for "phase two" is something like june 17th at the latest

I don't understand Korean, but yes, they appear to be dates. The day Beta started and ended are there, and I don't get the middle two dates, but they were probably big patches (content ones?)

The last one is 6, without a numerical date. So, sometime in June, obviously in the future. Here's hoping this isn't complete horse crap! :D

Even without a statement from Blizzard, isn't that what you would guess anyway? Any sooner and it wouldn't have made sense to take the beta offline. Any later and they won't have time to get enough relevant data to draw conclusions.

I'm just saying, Expected end of june is quite a safe guess. I would be more impressed if they said next week

but i think i've readed that somewere in the beta forums... that the beta would come back between the end of june and start of july...

but on june 17th... that's sounds good since Bnet 2.0 must still be tested if they are going to add chat channels as they said.


And rofl at artosis jajajajaja. get a girlfriend! and then dump her when phase 2 begins :D

For those who are interested...
[Mistakes are expected. Hopefully somebody can contribute a better translation than mine.]

+ Show Spoiler [VERY ROUGH translation] +

Posted June 9th, 2010.

Today, Blizzard sent PlayXP a press release, according to which, the private beta testing will resume at the end of this month to garner attention/hype. Below is the original press release information.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty end-phase private beta testing, and schedule information

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty private beta testing is scheduled to end Monday June 7, in preparation for final beta testing. Beginning June 8, in order to prepare for the "final beta testing process" beta will be down for a few weeks for implementation of some changes to the hardware and software environment.

At such time, (SC2) Beta will be re-opened to simulate market conditions in order to complete the final inspection; changes will be made based on past beta feedback, and then the final beta will be reopened with changes and enhancements made to complement the look and feel at the end of beta. [that our beta team discusses? unknown translation].

We will notify you [PlayXP?] at a later date when the second phase of beta testing is to begin.


Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty closed beta test schedule

-First private beta test begins: February 18, 2010

-PC room [unknown meaning], a closed beta test: March 12, 2010

-2nd wave of private beta testing: March 26, 2010 [Unkown, I assume this refers to their invite giveaways?]

-Private beta test concludes: June 8, 2010

-Final private beta test begins: Expected end of June 2010

Not quite the same as this press release, I don't think..pretty similar though.

Where did you get june 17th from all this? It said "Expected end of june". It could be July 12th for all we know

Chat channels: they never said as much, did they? I mean: "We are looking into it" is far from "We are implementing it as we speak".

Ahhh, I thought SC2 came out on the 27th of this month. Major disappointment

I have a two week break starting somewhere around the 30th and I thought I was going to have a SC2-fest.

Actually I said they've had SC2 playable at dreamhack for the past couple of years - I dunno anything about their relationship :p

Seems to me they didn't put an exact date on it for a reason. They're making "hardware and software updates". Anyone in the IT industry knows they'd be fools to put a time limit on that type of work, if they don't have to.

It's going to take however long it takes, times two for the blizzard factor.

Come on, there is World Cup tomorrow! It's better than Friends I guess :D I can wait until the end of soccer and then yes, I need beta


Anyone else think the timing of the world cup and the end of the SC2 beta are too close to each other? I think Blizz just wanted the month-ish off to watch the World Cup. Then they'll throw the servers back on and say "Well, off to watch the finals, have fun on Bnet2.Crap fellas."

Blizzard said that it will be longer than 3 weeks from yesterday so i doubt it will happen until the end of June!

from Zyhais (sp) a blue on EU forums


Also, days are now 23 hours and 59 minutes long. You do the math!

On a serious note, I can confirm you that Phase Two will start in several weeks, but we will disclose more information about the detailed plan of Phase Two as we get closer to it, don't worry, just follow these forums!


Edit: "Several weeks" meaning "Being of a number more than two or three but not many"

Would phase 2 of beta just reopen to all the same people or would we see more keys given out?

Either way, hope this is a true post :D

It shouldn't really be that much of a surprise that the beta would be back near the end of June. It is quite funny how many people thought the beta coming down was the end of the beta until release.

In the post I just cited above he also says all the same people will be in for sure, and they may be giving out more keys but he doesn't know yet

Playing the SC and Broodwar Campaigns during this break was the worst idea ever. Now I just miss all the subtle things in SC2 that make it not suck. You know, like moving where I tell them to, and defenses that don't sit there pondering the meaning of life before opening fire.

Hmm, I think it actually makes sense. They probably didn't plan the switch to UDP and need to have ample time before the release to make the netcode bugproof.

I don't understand Korean, but yes, they appear to be dates. The day Beta started and ended are there, and I don't get the middle two dates, but they were probably big patches (content ones?)

The last one is 6, without a numerical date. So, sometime in June, obviously in the future. Here's hoping this isn't complete horse crap! :D


You should try Google Chrome. It detects that the page is in Korean and gives you the option to translate it.

If SC2 beta really does reopen at the end of this month I think that would be a very wise decision by Blizzard, it'll give them a full month to polish battle.net 2 (and it seriously needs that polishing) before release.

[19:17] <Milkis> http://classic.battlenet.co.kr/promotion/bacreation/index.html
[19:18] <Milkis> huh
[19:18] <Milkis> "Starcraft II closed Beta Test has a newer community activity and match making and other capabilities"
[19:20] <Milkis> they're having a beta key drawing
[19:20] <Milkis> for the last beta test

Okay so I was a bit wrong since it's not a drawing. So basically they have a promotion from june 11-june 30 to try to get people to sign up for battle.net (with a prize drawing). They're saying that "Sign up to seize the opportunity to take part of the last Beta test for SC2", and from what I can tell if you sign up for battle.net you get a beta key for the closed beta.
