That's kinda cool, but yea getting Betamaxed should have been the way to obtain the feat but cool nonetheless.
Exactly my thought, would of at least restrained the number of people with it, and would of gone to players who actualy ''played'' the beta to its maximum for the longest time aswell. I guess the problem was, with the many resets they couldnt dig older 'betamaxed' and that could of been unfair.
I'm not sure I agree with rewarding luck but there will probably be achievements for the collector edition too and those requires only money so I'm just gonna not care.
I just want the world to know, that i have a sandy, sandy, sandy, sandy vagina. And that i am outraged that i wont get this perfectly meaningless footnote attached to my account. So that i may sit in public chat channels, hoping my profile will be inspected, and have others stare jealously at an achievement called "One of the Chosen" and recognize me for the very special and cool person that i am. Thanks blizzard, you have ruined my life. I no longer see a point in living.
Dont worry, you can live vicariously through me, I have the Sigil - I'am one of the chosen. Just search my profile when the game goes live and bask in the glory of those who are better than others.
LOL to all you whinning... when russia came up with communism or socialism everyone raged and bla bla bla.. cold war etc...
but when it comes to lollypops and sigils and FoS everyone wants it to be EQUALLY given away??
be reasonable, you live in a capitalistic world mainly.. so you can't have everything another person has... deal with it and stop qq'in
Personally this had upset me because as much as I tried to get into Closed Beta I just had no luck winning contests and etc. I for one am one of these type of people who have a disorder when it comes to trying to collect and achieve everything possible in a game. If I can't or something breaks then I lose interest and Grrr this is already happening to me.
I feel like one Closed Beta testers had all the reward from actually playing the game, showing their friends and etc. This is just a slap in the face saying haha sucker up yours.
Again this my own personal opinion but its how I feel and being a big collector I feel this is really going to make me sad till the 15th. yes after the 15th I will be a bit happier but I will always be sad when I check my friends profiles.

The "others" are just commi-socialist bastards, I agree. This is true capitalism, and Iam damn happy Im the 1%. :Thumbs Up:

That's no good!
It's nothing to be proud of if you got this, it's only pure stinking luck!
I'm one of does without luck.
Really hope we others will be able to unlock the sigil some other way.
Well not EVERYONE got in through simple opt-in luck. There were competitive contests (usually based on creativity), press invites (you could have chosen to work in that profession...if you're too young, lol too bad there's tons of things kids don't have access to), or even if you were a kid could have made a name for yourself in the past as a vblogger/streamer on youtube/justintv etc and Blizzard invited those people too. Plenty of non-luck opportunities.
Also keep in mind this is DIABLO. Which is pretty much all pure stinkin luck. Someone not as skilled as you might beat you to inferno with less time because of better drop luck.

Im willing and able to join any guild or clan that needs elite sigil holders. I dont want to actually raid on a schedule or anything silly like that but I'll be like a mascot of sorts, and you all can take pictures, and put them on your front pages to gain more notoriety - you know - from having a elite sigil member in guild/clan.
As someone who did everything in my power to sign-up for as many beta opportunities and didn't get one I'm slightly upset. I distinctly remember them saying they wouldn't do this (but alas I'm no good at finding blues and they contradict themselves all the time anyway). That said, I like showing off and a sigil isn't as great as the CE wings I'm getting so in the end, igaf.
yup.. achievements = all reasons to live and enjoy life.
Damn 10+ million people are going to never be happy again, it's a sad thought really... lets forget about the people who can't even feed them selves let alone play a computer game.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
This makes me angry. I did every contest Blizzard ever put out, I never got in. This achiev is based on luck. Would appreciate it if they removed it.
The more I think about it the more I realize: the item system is pretty much based on luck too, so I guess if we don't accept "sometimes you win, sometimes you lose" at this point, we're pretty much gonna be miserable throughout the years playing this game. Some people will spend days farming and find nothing, others will log in and a near perfect item will drop.
It's not even an achievement...it's a Feat of Strength. Doesn't add to your point totals.
Maybe I'm biased because I was in closed beta...but why is everyone bent out of shape over some silly Feat of Strength? We're on the precipice of release here people...who cares about this little shit? Let's enjoy the game.

Because everyone feels entilted to everything. The same people complaining about not being able to get a Feat of Strength and Sigil will be complaining when they can't do nightmare, hell, or inferno and get the Sigil and Achievements for those things. They will be complaining when Blizzard has other limited-time Rewards and they didn't get it.
Or they will get such things and say how those that are whining because they didn't get it are cry babies. Its a video game, it means nothing in the end. This sigil and FoS won't give you any advantage in the game at all. It is not unfair for Blizzard to reward people that potentially helped them test the game and mold it into what both parties wanted out of a game. Its not unfair that you didn't get the reward because you didn't get picked.
You can't have everything. Just like I won't be able to have that legendary you got to drop on your first playthrough of Normal. If you are crying over a FoS and Sigil then you better get a box of tissues because you'll definitly be crying over the way Loot is random in the actual game.

We don't fully know that. They may have required a battletag to have been created ... or something additional to what was stated.

I almost feel bad that something as trivial as this makes you so upset that you wish no one can have or enjoy it.
The real world is going to be a scary place for you some day.
