Starcraft II Beta Invites Are Coming In [Updated]
Posted by Simon "Go0g3n" 2 years ago
War...War never changes...ooops, different game, sorry about that. This buzz is, however, about a small, pretty useless piece of information, which is: Beta Invites Are Starting to Go Out through Battle.net accounts for Starcraft II Beta.There's no official info so far from Blizzard or any major gaming portal, however judging by screens popping up here and there, and certain posts on forums, some people already have been accepted into beta, therefore receiving acceptance e-mail and a large Starcraft II Icon appearing in the "Games" section inside one's Battle.net profile.
Others discovered a small green "SCII Beta" picture/sign next to "Beta Profile Settings" menu inside their battle.net account. It's unknown so far whatever this small sign thing is.
As a reminder, here's some useful info:
1. Tuesday, during the press-event at Blizzard HQ, new Battle.net and SCII features were demonstrated, along with a week long NDA on certain info.
2. Beta will be divided in regional stages, first being available for Canada and US, then Europe and Korea.
3. It was confirmed by Blizzard, that Beta will kick off this summer, specifically after Battle Report #3 release.
Update:
1. By the looks of it - False Alarm, sorry folks. (We all got pretty excited here too)
2. The small green SC2 icon, however, seems is mostly present in North American and Korean B.net accounts, however, and it's confirmed, not on all accounts who opted-in.
3. Rumor has it, Blizzard will invite 40.000 testers from each realm for the test lasting 10 weeks.
4. Another rumor, or to say NDA leak, states that Beta will consist of multiple stages, therefore there invites will come in waves.

| O_O |
| :,((((((((((((( cant come in... |
| confirmation please! |
| PhiliBird, that ain't so difficult to know. As there is no way they send out all of them at once, that would only be stupid pressure on the new battle.net system. |
| give me one or i nerd rage! |
fuck, does every1 have the scII icon? so it doenst mean anything? :( |
| #11 Yes, this mean nothing:( |
| #10 obvious fake if you look hard enough. very clear. so far no real proof. |
| edit: nvm |
| 10 bucks says the little icon is just to signify Blizzard's next beta is SC2 :P |
| War ... War never changes! As far as I know Europe is last in the "cycle" so I wont even get excited. Still cool! |
| no asia ?? only korea ??? |
| go go! |
| someone finally played fallout 3? |
| "war.. war never changes" looooooooooool im hoping for a cracked beta :D :D :D |
| I can CONFIRM that there IS a Sc2 logo on my account at least. I suppose the beta is out for some. But I cant download the beta though.. http://pici.se/pictures/NNymFBboF.jpg |
| #20 WOOOORD.....:)) |
| #21 I got the same as you. So not everyone got that? |
| everyone got that sc2 logo... |
| i dont have that green sc2 logo in my profile. |
| i do have that SC2 logo , did you subscribe to possible beta dacore ? |
| I Have beta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG |
| I don't have the SC2 icon. Go figure. |
| But it's only green icon like #21.Where is cd-key or something? |
| Everyone that logs on us.battle.net can get the logo, so logo does not mean you go into beta. |
| NOOOO!!! MY GREEN LOGO DISAPPEARED!! :,/ |
| 29# well they dont give away beta's to everyone obviously hmm.. but Im pretty sure the beta is out since that Icon wasnt there before? 27# can u show us in some way? would be awesome with an even clearer proof. like gather your units and make an "X" with them and printscreen them Im ensured the beta is out. |
| #32 +1 |
| im realy happy about the beta , cant wait . |
| you idiots the little green sc2 logo shit next to add game doesnt mean anything -_- http://eu.blizzard.com/support/image.html?locale=fr_FR&id=1526 thats what ur suppose to be lookin for --; |
| To people asking about the logo, The logo is just a proof that something is actually happening. It's new and fresh but it doesnt mean you are a beta-tester. |
| #36 Youre right. I think we have to wait more :D If it would be out we propably would officialy know that;] |
| so we get to try it in 2-5 weeks? -.- IF we get beta key? :P |
| http://www.livestream.com/PreatoRPhoeniX My stream and my beta icon's Welcome |
| #39 But you don't have the "download beta" icon :S That beta green icon doesn't mean nothing at all... |
| Yes and email of Blizzard too ^^ |
| i have the icon :D but i didn't recived an e mail :/ |
| I got the green one but not big icon :( and no email |
| #43 U must waiting ,but u got beta soon.. |
| maybe everyone with the green logo will get big logo when the big logos are done downloading? i dont think everyone can download it at the same time. Also the Download beta was fake , if you check the battle net forum you can someone found out and guy said he did it in MSpaint , download beta text IS fake |
| Fuck it...not even green logo that sucks ;/ where can i start crying to receive my beta key ? :D |
| I only recently signed up for the beta and I have had that small green icon since the start and it means NOTHING. The only thing that is truly new and looks very real is the big beta game icon that is displayed in your "my games" collection. |
| this beta download in games display is fake ;] |
| Thats how u will be informed about being picked, so those logos, i think, dont matter. ' How will I be notified if I am selected for a beta test? In the event you are selected to participate in a beta test, you will receive an e-mail informing you and directing you to Battle.net Account Management. From there, you will be able to download the beta client and obtain a beta key. If chosen, you will need to agree to the StarCraft II Beta Agreement prior to installing the client. ' |
| I'd like to see a screenshot of one of those emails from blizzard :O |
