Blizzard is full of crap. Feat of Strength is an achievement. It's just not counted as points nor is there a reward tied to them. OH WAIT! They got into closed beta and are rewarded with a bragging rights wtf.
it usually has it's own Tab in game too so it's almost like special things they taken out of the game or added a special one time event. To me Feat of Strength is the most honorable achievements of them all.
Blizzard thinks if its not worth points then its not an achievement.
I need some clarification on this whole thing. I checked my email after the beta closed, and saw that I had been invited to the closed beta. I'm pretty sure it's a legit email from Blizzard because there aren't any links to fill something out, or any of that usual phishing sort of stuff. Problem is, I didn't see that I was invited until too late. I never logged in, or downloaded anything. The blue post says that it won't matter and they will still flag me as one of the chosen ones.
The other question I have is will this show up in Diablo, or WoW? This whole achievement thing sounds more like a WoW thing than a Diablo thing. I'm a bit confused.
You will still get the achievement. It will show up in Diablo 3. Officially, it is a feat of strength not an achievement. All this really means it will be in a separate category from achievements because it is not available for everyone to unlock.
This is bullshit... who ever made up this idea deserves to get cancer.
I mean.... im achi whore and its not cool to start the game and already be one achi behind because had terrible bad luck with beta access.
lol see here is a prime example of a self-entitled dumb kid. Wishing CANCER on someone because you can't get an achievement. I mean seriously?
Bad grammar, obviously socially inept and slightly retarded. Good luck! You're going to need it at your drive-thru job.
By the way it's achievement... but we won't tell people you type "achi" because you can't spell it. Let's say it's because you like to abbreviate to be more efficient.
In 6 days you won't remember that you could have maybe had a sigil. Feats of Strength mark events and sometimes have an extra award and almost always have nothing to do with skill. There are Feats in Strength in WoW for logging in a certain day that you can never get again unless you discover time travel.
i.e:
Server First max level achievement: No reward
Log on during wow anniversary: In-game pet
As someone who never got into closed beta, let me say: big whoop, I'll display one of the sigils I can earn in game.
Its really a terrible PR move on Blizzard's side
Yea I'm sure the rep will take a big hit for this one, mmhmm
Why are u so mad? This isn't even an achievement. There are many stupid achievements in WoW (and i think a lot will be in D3) like world first, ones for being at Blizzcon, bonuses for CE, etc. And this is just a little present to those who helped with testing. Don't act like tards.
The depths of depravity in human nature these days!!!!
To the whining cry babies upset over a worthless non-point achievement and a sigil soon to be replaced by something that actually represents accomplishment....really? Its time to grow up. Its a feat of strength, it has nothing to do with your game skills/success. To post your rage? Sad
To the latent adolescents enjoying throwing salt in the wounds of those already feeling left out by the beta? Really? Your ilk was whats wrong with the world today, selfish, ego-centric and spiteful. Good thing someone treated you better than you do others, or you wouldnt have the ability to be posting on a forum about a game. To post your drivel? pathetic
For the record, I did not get in the beta, however clearly beta testers helped advance and improve the game. Look at all the changes made during beta. Monk animations too. I think some kind of identification of these beta testers is all well and good as long as it doesnt alter gameplay and balance. Feats of Strengths and Sigils seem appropriate.

hahahah you should give up now because you will always be behind now. You shouldnt even play D3.. loolololololololooololololololololololololo loahhaahahlalhahal;aapa;a;phsalksa
What a slap to the face... Up until now I was extremely excited for this game but wow what a buzzkill. It shouldn't matter to me and really it's just a banner, but that's not what angers me. It's the fact that on top of not getting invited to the beta, now Blizz is gonna rub it in by rewarding those fortunate ones with an achievement?? Shoot, some of those testers did nothing but say how crappy this game will be and that Torchlight is way better. THESE people will get rewarded! For being loyal to the franchise and to you as a company, Blizzard, I get a nice pimp hand to the face. Well done... well effing done.
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.
amazing. +9000

early on in this thread, it seemed like most of the closed beta people were at least trying to see things from everyone else's point of view, but as this thread has gone on, it seems like more and more douche bags have shown up. I expected more from this community.
OT: I don't care if people have a sigil that I don't have. People will have plenty of things that I will never have. However, the principle behind blizzard giving out feats of strength, achievements, or visuals for absolutely no activity on the recipients part bothers me. I mean seriously...even the people that got beta and didn't enter? For always going on and on about having to choose how to spend their resources, they sure picked a dumb route.

Achievement =/= Feat of Strength.
Feel better now?

I'm only kinda glad I got it.

I received TWO beta keys. Eat it and like it.
amazing. +9000
Not everyone got to goto blizzcon and they gave feat of strength for going including portaits and decals. No one cared.
While in D3 you get a silly sigil and people are crying in outburst over it LOL.
Something like "The unlucky one" something that those in beta can never get just like we can never get "One of the chosen"
i think everyone who doesnt win the lottery gets just as much money as the person who wins the lottery. u know cuz thats how life works
