First day of Fall in in the northern hemisphere is September 22. Knowing Blizzard I wouldn't expect the beta anytime soon, they have a track history to back up this thought too.

maybe he meant summer in the southern hemisphere?

Well Blizzard goes to comic-con today so here's hoping we get some updates!
|
Hopefully its open beta.
I can't stand the thought of not being able to play it T_T

They did say they will announce their plans for 2012/2013 :D

It won't be otherwise they wouldn't hold contests for a beta key

Most people who sign up for the beta eventually get in. Sadly it can take a while. The SC2 beta was like half over by the time I got in. Had to watch streams and VODs for weeks T_T

It really surprises me when people keep accusing Blizzard of giving them false information about Beta. Please look at history... they usually announce a beta about a month before it starts. They never give a release date otherwise. They were hoping for Summer. They might still make it.
Also, it will not be an open beta until the last couple of weeks of the beta (if that).

In case you haven't seen it, there was a Browder interview about a month ago in which he said that HOTS is 99 percent done but there is still some polishing to do. He didn't get any more specific than that (didn't even say "soon").

That's essentially open beta since everyone here is going to play hots. Whether they try to act like they "lost faith in Blizzard" or not :p

Yeah I traded some games for a sc2 beta account and then 1 week later got in (this was early beta). God I remember that first week I skipped a couple of periods of school just to watch people play and me be super jealous. I got in 2-3 weeks after but traded the games for an account 3-4 days after beta started.
Hope I get in first when beta starts if I were somehow lucky.

When has Blizzard ever announced a start date for a beta? It's always a vague time frame then one day it's just out. That's the way it was for WoL too and most likely the way it will be for HotS.

Did anyone watch comic-con? Anything about patch 1.5 and/or HoTS?
|
anyone else completely underwhelmed? With the fail of diablo 3 and WOL being sub par... i honestly em looking more forward GW2, even though i don't even plan on playing it. Hopefully Blizz pulls through... sigh....
|
I wouldn't say WoL was sub-par, i would just say it was unfinished, even despite the huge development time..

Blizz has gone to the dark side with activision showing them the way.
