Remember you can pre-order your copy through the TL store and help support Team Liquid! It's also an easy way to get a beta key! | ||

i think there will be shops doing the beta offer aswell for europe. At the german gamestop page you can preorder HOTS for €40, wich will get you an beta key as well. I think i am going to buy it there. I will report the outcome regarding the beta accesss. | ||

At this point, seems like the F2P model seems the best way for SC2 but the problem with that is SC2 isn't WC3 or Dota. People don't really care about customizing individual small units, they prefer heroes instead. Warcraft 4 would be an epic F2P game if they expand the role of heroes a bit (instead of them just being slightly better units like in WC3) and make leveling up heroes in a game faster (because in regular WC3, the game usually ends before a hero reaches level 6 or 7). i think you should apply for a job at blizzard. Your few ideas ripped out every happy memory I had about wc3 and tarnished my hopes for a great wc4. | ||

I know that regardless I am going to buy the game, so I am going to spend the next 4 months meditating/praying that somehow, someway, and someone at Blizzard puts the magical touch this game needs, to make it at least moderately enjoyable, just even moderately blizzard will blow my expectations away... plz. Anyone else in the same boat? well yeah but I won't be buying it any time soon. If you pre-order/buy it, blizzard has no reason to change the game. | ||

i thought 80 dollars for CE would be 60 euros.. but it looks like blizzard wants to troll up europes ass more than ever and makes it 80 euros it will take more than my brain cells to decide if it's worth paying 40 euros more... /bitchmode: off | ||

I am pretty sure that is not how it works. The better the preorder numbers, the more leverage they have to justify putting more manhours into the game and features. Unless you believe that Blizzard is never going to fix the game to your standards. If thats is true, get out now while you can. But who are we kidding, we will all be on the ladder on March 12, 2012. I know I will be. | ||

Now I realize that I will probably not get a Beta key because I did not use any coupon, did not go through the TL store or anything  Is there any way I can fix this ? I've been eager to play the beta since start, I bought all the Blizz games since Warcraft 2 and played them at a competitive level, provided feedback during previous beta's etc.. And even after a pre-ordering I still can't beta test it.. This makes me extremely annoyed I know I could have looked at the TL site before ordering, that's not the point : is there any way I can get a beta somehow, now that I already pre-purchased ? Thanks for any information !! Actually I tried to buy the game through TL for my smurf account, so I could get a Beta key, but US version only is sold, so I'm just f*cked right ? | ||

There is nothing to be what so ever confused about. Now you can QQ and say this isn't fair, but no one should be confused on this. The confusing part if how it work for EU since there's no HOTS EU server. | ||

You forgot to add the european sales tax. It is europe who trolls its own citizens. (Some contries got a bit lower tax. €79 is for the 25% used by several countries.) | ||

Did you think they were a non-profit and didn't want to make money. Or are you just so entitled that you think you should just be given things for being a member of a free forum? | ||

I was talking about all the people asking if they get a beta key from pre-ordering from Battle.net My first bet is global play. Barring that, your beta key will be the same sever as the game you ordered. And if there is no EU sever, you will play on the US one. lol Ask White-Ra what he plays on next time he is streaming. | ||
