oh, the feedback will be in the fact people get to play it. Unless people are getting paid all bugs wont get reported. They know this. I think the beta is to test bugs they(blizzard) can catch and maybe see how the community feels about the game as a whole. IE whats OP whats trash. Then adjust things from there.
I think hand picking out members to give the keys to based on post counts and other trivial things would take forever. They probably have some system that reads the specs submitted to them and separates them into categories. Then they just choose at random a wide selection of different types of different computers.

This is probably going to be whats happening behind the scenes. If it wasn't people would be screaming indifference and some sort of segregation.
not only will people be testing out starcraft 2. but also testing out the new battle.net 2. which i think is what they will more be looking for. "the most sophisticated matchmaking" also it will give them a very small idea of how there servers will hold up with the amount of beta people. still. im very excited for starcraft 2.
its funny. cause 3 days ago. i said. well since everyone wants me to get on wow. i guess ill get the trial lvl up a bit then get a couple months of play in. 3 days later. beta announced....i think i need to do this more often for diablo 3
I cant see blizzard pouring so many resources into picking people by hand. it isn't them and most likely wont ever be like that. for maybe a smaller company yeah that is a great way to get dedicated fans, but that isn't how things are really done anymore. they might pick a few from the forums to get into beta but I don't see them solely choosing from that, just not enough people.
zomg I think your math is wrong...blizzard will just delay sc2 beta, cata will then go into beta and then d3 will be on hold forever...then 2012 will come and the games will vanish.
The end

saw their battle.net in action
their layout pretty much same as Steam lolz
Who cares? it was a much needed update. Steam doesn't fail and they might have a bit better integration system then you think. Have you actually played with it to say that?
They would obviously not choose based on post count. They would select the people that have given good feedback in the past. I would rather spend 30 minutes finding someone that is likely to give feedback, than sending out 100 random keys.
The people that would be selected this way would obviously be a tiny minority.
Hey i agree.
But those selcted people will problably renowed pro players and ppl from big SC clans. People who really love the game and will give the blood for it.
I guess... I mean if its randomly chhosen between all the people who have a b.net account with atleast one game... It would be shit if a dude who has 1 game will get an invite and you, who got 5, wont....
He has as much of a right to beta SC2 if he wants to as you do. That "one game" might be WoW, and if it is then he just blew your 5 games outta the water.

and to seniri, I mean't no harm. but the size of Facebook combined with twitter is something to watch for. I do think they will solely slip updates by on these faster on their websites because of the ease. People Might want to pay lot more attention to them because somehow I was on facebook and saw that the second they posted and I almost shat my pants.
No worries, I was just saying this is here so we can discuss it, and I prefer that to some Facebook group where all my friends can see I'm online and never leave me alone. I rarely log on anymore, I hate talking to people.
Yeah. I have two WotLK WoW accounts, D2/LoD. I own Starcraft/BW, and WC3/Frozen Throne, but I haven't been able to find them since before B.Net was redone so I can't add them =/
I dont get the keyboard thing lol. I cant wait for this Beta hopefully it comes soon!

...what would be easier...creating a new keyboard or just the optimus maximus keyboard and design the keys yourself. I go with my choice ^^ cause then you can make it for d2 or war franchise

That is why they are going to probably send thousands of betas out. Just because you post doesn't mean your gunna give feedback, ya know?
They will mainly be choosing with specs, thus why thats all they have asked for for the beta.

:cool: An if my mathematics are correct, SC2 beta comes shortly before SC2 release. Than shortly (kinda) after SC2 release comes D3 beta XD

i think its based on their beta profile
so if you dont opt in theres 0% of you getting it
and besides seniri is right the amount of games do not matter.
