I finally was able to play the beta through a friend's account. But I found out after playing a bit, that there is currently a stutters problem while playing the game. This stutters happens on beast ass computers and shitty ones. So its obvious that its the game itself. But it sorta worries me that Blizzard still hasn't fixed this yet? I thought this would be something already fixed, but maybe it isn't within their list of things to do first. How many other people playing the beta also have this issue? I know not everyone is experiencing this issue but some people are. When I playing and talking to people their computer would range from intel to nvidia, amd to nvidia, etc. I currently have a amd quad core 3.4ghz, 4gb memory, and running a Radeon 5770 and have this issue. I just currently bought a new video card which I get on the 4th, but in till then, I dunno if that will fix it, but doubt it. Its funny though, cause my friend doesn't have this issue at all, and when I told him, he was surprised since it really does run like butter, but for some reason it stutters sometimes. The reason why I'm posting this, is to ask people if they (who officaly have beta access) heard anything from Blizzard about this issue, or now anything about this?
According to the Worldstone Keep Podcast there is a bug with the streamer (the thing that makes it possible to launch game before it's fully downloaded) where it thinks you are streaming all the time even though the files are already downloaded, thus making it re-load files from the network which causes weird stutter and lag.
According to the guys it's a bug that's fixed for release but for some reason will stay along for a while in the beta. So if this is what you are experiencing I would not worry too much. It kinda sucks for now, but if it's fixed for release then it's fine.
Yeah the thing is even though you have the game fully downloaded you can still get this bug. The reason you don't get the launcher is because you already have the full files. They implemented so that if there's nothing new to download then it will skip straight to the game. Soo, your game files are fine, it's jsut the game bugging out and thinking they are not.
So yeah, play on and hopefully they'll have this resolved soon enough. If not for beta at least for release.

(If it's super annoying try a reinstall)
