I don't think anyone really gives a damn about the Feat of Strength, it's the sigil that pisses people off. Mainly because a lot of people tried really damn hard to get into the beta, entering every contest they could find and liking every damn facebook page.
Real dumb move by Blizzard, got beta but still feel like this adds nothing but anger among those who have loved the game and waited for years but were not lucky enough to get beta invite. I for one will not use the sigil as it really marks nothing but luck. I mean a random person could get it by chance and not even touch the beta. Pathethic.
You understand almost everything about this game is about luck, right? You gonna cry when I find a legendary out of "dumb luck" too?
It's just a Sigil. It servers ZERO PURPOSE IN GAME. You won't even notice it. STOP QQ-ing.

Damn, I guess their enjoyment of the game is gone now that they don't have a unique banner icon. /sad panda
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.

I'm not the kind of person who feels the need to complete every feat of strength or anything, so I won't try to make a fuss about this. However, I do think it's kind of lame, and I understand why this will be irritating to some. A feat of strength should, in my opinion, be obtainable by everyone who makes a real effort. Getting beta access was pure luck for the vast majority of participants, so it's not really a feat of strength in any way.
But oh well... Grats to those of you who got it, I guess.
That's no good!
It's nothing to be proud of if you got this, it's only pure stinking luck!
I'm one of does without luck.
Really hope we others will be able to unlock the sigil some other way.
Well not EVERYONE got in through simple opt-in luck. There were competitive contests (usually based on creativity), press invites (you could have chosen to work in that profession...if you're too young, lol too bad there's tons of things kids don't have access to), or even if you were a kid could have made a name for yourself in the past as a vblogger/streamer on youtube/justintv etc and Blizzard invited those people too. Plenty of non-luck opportunities.
Also keep in mind this is DIABLO. Which is pretty much all pure stinkin luck. Someone not as skilled as you might beat you to inferno with less time because of better drop luck.
I wasn't lucky at all I tried all the contests, giveaways and opt-ins I came across and I'm not a kid (grew up with the Diablo games) so I would not say I'm that bad at these games. The press isn't for me so that was no option.
Not all the contests were lucky draws so you didn't look hard enough (there were lots based on competitive nature like art, funny photos, writing, or even competing in other video games).
I'm honestly surprised by this. People were wanting to keep Overachiever and/or Betamaxed (if only as FoS), and then got told there wouldn't be anything carried over.
As one who participated in the closed beta and earned Overachiever at least twice, I can't complain. I do think that, due to the apparent sensitivity of the subject, Blizzard could and should have communicated better.
Well that sucks a bit:( I guess the rest of us should get the Feat of Strenght: "The Leftover". I'm sorry but for this I have this to say - screw you blizz.
The only thing sadder than the fact the blizz is rewarding rng is the amount of unsympathetic pricks who call others crybabies. If you are unable to understand that to some people game is a deeper experience than to you, you suck. If you are unable to understand that to some people perfectionism is important, you suck. If you enjoy rubbing in the salt in other peoples' sores, an ape has a better personality than you.
So the only thing sadder than blizztards tucking me over is you.
Having that said, yeah, I didn't get the sigil, and yeah, I paid 50€ extra to get CE, I feel left out.
But when you unsympathetic pricks choke on a chicken bone and someone punches you in the back of the head instead of helping, remember, life isn't fair, as you said.
LOLWUT?
I played the beta on friend's accounts. I didn't get in on mine.
Who cares if I don't get an acheesement or a pretty little thing to put on my banner that nobody will ever look at?
It's fluff that doesn't add or detract to anyone's game experience. Stop being an overdramatic pussy.
I guess what bugs me about this whole thing is the sigil more than the FoS. I'm very much a completionist, and I find a lot of entertainment in trying to fully complete the game. Having an unlockable in a game that you can't unlock is frustrating, and hopefully understandably so.
And, like someone said... kinda pissing in the wounds of those who didn't get into the closed beta.

Your going to award people who got randomly selected? Go f^c* yourselves.
I'm pretty sure that means that I am a better person than anyone who wasn't in the beta.

See you on tuesday.
Has nothing to do with the feat of strength, its the point of the matter. It's stupid. It's blizzard being stupid yet again.
