Has anyone preordered recently from Best Buy and gotten beta? There seems to be conflicting information. Their preorder machine thing at the store says nothing about it nor does the site. But there is something on their site if you get to it through convoluted means which states something about getting a beta code emailed within 72 hours. I went to the store yesterday and the guy didnt know, called a co-worker that said no to beta. But other people claimed they got beta from BB. Have a BB giftcard to burn.

So can anyone confirm or deny beta from Best Buy HotS?


i doubt it, EB games and amazon seems to be completely out of Beta Keys and i dont think Blizz ever said that BB had beta keys

if you dont want the CE you can get HoTS through the blizz store and get put on the beta key list

Q: when using vipers what buildings do you usually consume? do you build buildings exclusively to eat?

i dont think anything will happen, since you went through blizz they wouldnt send you a key they jsut go straight to your account and activate it

HotS beta installer says it requires 10gb disk space, does it actually use that much? I only have 11.5gb free on my SSD...

Also, how long does it take to be sent a code after pre-ordering from amazon? Thought some people said they got it right after ordering. Been 72 hours for me so far.

Hatcheries are most cost-efficient if you have the time to get a few up. If you are pressed for time, go with evo chambers. This has already been proven, though I don't know who did it first.

It can be 3-4 days.

I hope this doesn't come off as whining, but is the meta in HoTS PvZ similar to where it is in WoL where the maxed zerg army steamrolls the toss? I really don't enjoy having to end the game before hive tech, hoping HoTS changes this!

You'll be pleased to note that the roles are completely flipped in PvZ. Now Protoss is the one that has the unkillable deathball and zerg has to prevent Protoss from reaching 200/200 with VR/Tempest/HT.

Ok, I ordered HOTS off of battle.net a week ago. When do I get my beta key? I have been checking my email so much but I have only recieved confirmation of my order but no beta key. When do they usually send out key waves? I haven't wanted to play the next season of WOL because I am hyped for HOTS so I am stuck playing old Sonic games instead.

Sooo.. I'm a Diamond Z player, and I want to play some Terran. I have tried unranked matchmaking, however I'm still playing vs Diamond players and getting completely crushed because I don't know what I'm doing.

Is the only way to have separate ratings for main race and off race to buy more than one account for the game? I just want to play some off race now and again -_-

There's no telling what opponent I'll get though, I could still get diamonds for all I know, I'll probably just have to buy another hots account when it comes out to off race in a league.
