Some people here seem seriously butt hurt due to not being invited during the first wave, you guys seriously need to take this thing less personal. Unless you work for blizzard and is personally responsible for handing out the invites, you simply cannot say whether opt-ins have started or not. Both claiming they have and claiming they haven't are assumptions and nothing more.
Just because people haven't posted what *you* consider proof, does not mean it hasn't started. Likewise people posting "proof" may be lying. And to be honest, considering how people are directly assaulted on here should they even hint at being in the beta, i don't really blame possible betaplayers for laying low rather than expose themselves of all that bs. Also, not everyone signed up for the beta are a part of this community you know...
Bottomline, stop being so over the top defensive about beta invites having gone out or not
no no no they aren't lying, they are blue posts. I can't see blizzard lying to us.

Went outside today, the graphics were ok. But the gameplay sucked
So, from what i can see here, nowhere does he say optins havent gone out, he does however say
Take solace in the fact that, if you didn't get into the beta today, there's a chance you will tomorrow... or any other weekday while the beta test is going.
which to me indicates that invites did indeed go out.
He later replies
...But it doesn't mean a huge chunk of the public was guaranteed to get in on day one.
A distinction had to be made between the F&F testing that's been going on, and the actual opening of the beta to the public. That's what happened today, even if we didn't invite tens of thousands of people in one go...
Which *i* think could indicate once again that invites have indeed gone out, but they are very very few.
Now apparently you have your own opinion of what these posts mean, but you do most certainly not know for sure. So stop shouting like everything you say is fact, when it's actually just your own interpretation of Zarhym's mystical scripts! (Hmm, i think this is how religions started out...)
edit: @Non_Inertial_Frame
How far would you go to prove to some total strangers that you had gotten into the beta? Credibility is relative
No one disagrees that 'invites went out' because the press was invited and they are considered part of the closed beta. The question is specifically regarding individuals who opted in. All you've managed to say is that the press got in, we KNOW this already.
Non_Inertial_Frame trumps your post completely. You can stop replying now.
I disagree
@ Non_Inertial_Frame: All i've tried to say is you can not know for sure, i still dont get why its so important for some people here to say that they havent or have started. You all act like its fact when it actually isnt, we simply do not know

The exact same thing happened when Blizz posted their initial "Beta is open" news story. Many misinterpreted it to mean invites would be going out immediately. Now people are misinterpreting his statements to mean opt-ins have gone out, just not very many. The post you quoted there is quite clearly speaking in generalities. When opt-in people have been invited, everyone will know.
First of all. Good morning everyone. I hope you all didn't lose sleep over blizzards miss information on yesterdays "START of the closed beta".
There was no "miss information". The news story was 100% true but people read into it what they wanted.
Someday (in the not too distant future) you will lean back in your desk chair, sighing contently after slaying a boss and getting some shiny new loot and reflect....
"Gee - I can't believe I was freaking out over who got invites to the beta for this game. Gosh. Oh well, back to killing!"
Relax everyone. Do something constructive on these forums.
Like posting on the thread that speculates when the game will be released. <_<
I agree we don't know for sure. That's kind of the point, the sample size of individuals who got in is so small that there is uncertainty in a simple yes or no conclusion, if a lot of people got in then that sample size would be large enough for us to say for certain. (If there was 100 posts on the beta feedback forums of ppl who got in then I would have no doubts in my mind.)
It's fun to speculate because if indeed mass invites have not gone out then we could be getting emails at any moment ! Hehe.
Apparently people are misinterpreting my reasons for posting, im not here to say opt-in invites have started, im simply stating people here are acting as if they know if they have or haven't, when they infact don't. And tbh until(if it all) i get my own invite, i don't really care whether they have or not
@ Non_Inertial_Frame again: I Agree, its fun to speculate, but some people here are directly harassing others, CorruptDevil in particular in this thread, but there have been others in other threads aswell(hi there deckardcain85).
We DON'T know, we are only going off what are people are saying, and what the blue posts are saying. This is all we can interpret from the posts. And yes I do think people who got in would be trolling the forums. From what we see we can say that invites did not go out for opt-ins yesterday. If you have your own opinion thats fine, but don't make a flame war of it just because you take other peoples posts differently.
Until we can actually see that opt-ins have indeed received invites I'm gonna believe they haven't actually gone out yet.

So the opt-in beta has started but invites to normal foes haven't been set out, am I understanding? Cause their huge post right here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3542796 kinda looks like the beta is out and anyone invited on their account is invited, but when I read this threads, it seems it's still family/friends only still?
Media/Press is part of closed beta, with the public. But so far only the media/press have made it into the closed beta. We are passed F&F. The closed beta HAS started just no opt-ins have seemed to receive beta invites.

Take solace in the fact that, if you didn't get into the beta today, there's a chance you will tomorrow... or any other weekday while the beta test is going.
So I guess the If you didn't get into the beta today ( it is prolly only press ), chance of tomorrow ( today ) is us the public.

Exactly. This is what I stated in the beginning, but some people wanted to try and make it difficult by throwing out their own opinions.

If anyone got flamed here it was me(not necessarily by you), you should read through some of your earlier posts in this topic, they're not really what i'd call "different opinion friendly"
Thanks for understanding that we dont know thou, that was the message i was trying to get through, even thou i apparently didn't make myself clear enough on that.

If only everyone could understand that and just let it go. I guess it's all part of the "beta fever".
By the way, as a friendly warning, let's try to keep this as cordial as possible guys.

My threads were always completely based on complete assumption as to what the blue posts and the status of the forums meant. At no time was i rejecting what other people thought. This is just what everyone else interpreted from the posts as i did. If someone else found something to contradict me i would of changed my information.

Anyways, to get this thread back on topic (since it was derailed at the very beginning). If opt-in invites are to go out to day, we should start to see them in the coming hours. Good luck to all of those who are opted-in I really do hope you get in. (and yes i will be jelly for those of you who do)

Holy Shit do you seriously have 140 post after being here a week. The more you talk without something useful to say the less impact your voice has when you actually do make a good point. Not trying to hate I just think it is odd that you think you have that much worth saying.
