Anyone new get in?

I didn't...

Edit: Curse you extra zero, CURSE YOU!

#2 Edited by CL60 (16906 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Is that a real number?

EDIT: Okay, 100,000.

No invite for me :(

#3 Posted by Grimluck343 (1073 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Just got my invite. And I had so much work to do today...

#4 Posted by Morningstar (1087 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I'll wait for the full game to come out, sometime next century from the looks of it.

#5 Posted by Ravenlight (7044 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Congrats to those who lucked in. Everyone else: it's probably coming soon (-ish)!

It is my birthday, and Blizzard did not get me anything. In fact, they snubbed me.

=(

I'm going to go play Starcraft II.

damn Blizzard, why aren't you nice to me? :(

I think this whole mass beta invite thing is a bone being thrown to the dogs while the team plans a late May to August release.

I got an invite. If anyone on here wants to party up the just PM me. This game is a lot more fun with some friends.

#11 Posted by DeF (4166 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

nothing here (EU) :(

#12 Posted by Zithe (1037 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got mine today. You might want to check your battle.net accounts in case the email didn't get to you.

#13 Posted by Ubersmake (686 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in. Coincidentally, I also unsubscribed from WoW last week. I guess it doesn't matter. Blizzard knows how to get money from me.

#14 Posted by Damax (60 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in last night, only played for about an hour so far have way to much work but it's awesome. I'm loving the story telling and my Witch Doctor is already a badass.

Happy Birthday! We should play SC2 sometime. :)

Have they actually added anything to the beta in the last couple months that would make me want to get back on it, because playing through the first act up to the Skeleton King for two months straight got boring REAAAAAAAALLY fast.

#17 Edited by Brackynews (3315 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Installed last night, running like a dream today. Punching the fuck outta some zombies for all 23 spare minutes I had to play it. :(

If I could time-share my access you know I would, duders. ;D

Assuming I'm awake Saturday morning, see some of ya there! AutomaOcelot#1275

Effin north-America only. What about the rest of the world, or at least  they should have included northern Europe.

Nope. Only changes are that they've completely redone the drop and crafting system, and rebalanced the game so that SK is not as much of a ridiculous joke to kill (he's just a moderate joke now).

#21 Posted by Kiri90 (208 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in also, but have not gotten a chance to play yet due to workload. I'm looking forward to playing a little tomorrow and this weekend. Sorry for those who didn't get an invite. :(

#22 Edited by Vexxan (4550 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

No luck this time either :/

I got in. I have a GTX 580 and i get a lot of video stutter. Kind of weird.

#24 Posted by Fattony12000 (4377 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Fucking Ass.

I've been in their beta opt in thing for about three years and never got in for anything.

#25 Posted by eternalshades (77 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in.

Sadly I've been insanely busy at work and haven't even had the chance to install it :*(

#26 Posted by rentfn (1160 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for it to come out...if it ever does.

#27 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

ONE THOUSAND THOUSAND INVITES? I think that's just one million.

And yes, I got an invite. Not a bad game. Not sure if I'd buy it, but we'll see how it pans out.

#28 Posted by AyKay_47 (258 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

That's million invites? No? That's probably why I didn't get one :(

Yeah, I was having major lag issues with their servers last night. My machine shouldn't have any problems with the game but it was hitching all over the place. I'm about to jump in again and see if conditions are better.

#30 Posted by Maginnovision (414 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I've been in for a while now, but my brother did just get an invite. unfortunately I had already given him my account info to play it. He played about 13 hours, and his girlfriend played about 13 hours. We had a few hundred blizzard bucks! But yea, his beta invite... Not something he cares about so much, as he has played all the classes to completion.

#31 Posted by pweidman (1960 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Ahhhh.... the endless Blizzard betas...they are a piece of work. I love me a polished game but damn them :P.

Been waiting for months now for an invite...still nothing. Poop.

#32 Posted by Ben_H (2669 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Nothing on all 3 of my accounts, all of which qualify for betas.

#33 Posted by CaLe (2495 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

It's a good thing I haven't received anything, yes.. a very good thing.

#34 Posted by Bobdaman18 (699 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Thanks for the heads up, i didn't get an email but the beta invite was waiting for me.

#35 Posted by Sanity (1506 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got in, enjoying it but if you missed out your not missing much, its a very short demo.

#36 Posted by spazmaster666 (1950 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Hmm maybe I should actually use the beta code that I've had for a couple of months.

#37 Posted by Slax (825 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Yeah, I got mine Thursday night. Haven't had a whole lot of free time to play it, especially since Battle.net was down for a lot of yesterday.
