anyone else feel that Blizzard is still withholding a LOT of information about the game they are releasing in less than a month. This starter edition being one example
Blizzard already said a while back that there will be some sort of "demo" that people can play for free when the game comes out. They said it will be very limited and probably be as long as the beta. I thought everyone knew this?
And does it matter if they don't tell us everything? Some surprises are nice!
PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME! I just saw a D3 beta account on my profile, and I can download the client. I haven't prepurchased it, so it's not the "in order to post in the forums" thing. It doesn't say anywhere starter ed or anything. I'm already downloading the 15GB client, am I really in the beta? Even for a week or so...
Congratulations! when they bring up the servers you will be in the beta. (legitimately) All this is because we were able to log in this morning without have a beta flag on our account! (we had already downloaded the client)
You must've gotten lucky and been one of the 275,000 recipients in the final beta key wave that just went out apparently. So yeah, enjoy your beta playthrough and whatever else you wanna explore for the next 2 weeks
I doubt this "Starter Edition" error/bug/accessibility has nothing to do with it though. When the shit hit the fan about this supposed "open beta" I looked in my account and didn't see anything about if I were flagged or not, so I tried to log in and got in anyway! But if I were to try to log in after the maintenance, well... there's a good chance I won't be able to if they fixed it
Yep, as much as I wish this was their surprise version of open beta, they wouldn't still be handing out beta keys if open beta was going to happen. They might just be doing a sneaky test of their starter edition, checking how it would fair being online for the first time.

So I read this, and decided to check for my own. And guess what, I also got the Beta thingy under my diablo tab.
I really feel like this is part of the bug, since I highly doubt they are still randomly inviting people after the 275k one, but I guess I will find out as soon as the servers are up again...

It seems you guys legitimately got the beta in that last huge wave. My friend still doesn't have one on his account.
Servers still down for maintenance... I'd feel better if they just came out and told us they screwed up and we aren't gonna get to play an open beta after all. All this waiting for an update just to hear we're just gonna have it (open beta access) taken away from us is pointless and infuriating
