Closed Beta Players - "One of the Chosen" Feat of Strength
It looks like people who were invited into the closed beta will be getting a feat of strength along with a unique sigil after logging in for the first time.

In order to be eligible for "One of the Chosen," you must have had a Diablo III closed beta license attached to your Battle.net account (it isn't necessary to have downloaded or logged into the beta itself). Please note that players who participated only in the Open Beta Weekend, but were not invited to the closed beta, will not receive this Feat of Strength.

Someone who was randomly selected but didn't participate gets the reward?
What's next....the banner for "purchasing the game" (although I guess that's the one way to get a banner anyway).
i feel sad for the asians who dident even have a beta at all, heard korea had on for like a week or something.
but this is retarded, i dont mind first-serve-first-get type achivements, or purly skill based top pvp and beat x mode before y time. cos i know if i tried hard enought i could have gotten it.
But getting something by pure random chance. that is not even equal across the player base in the whole world is just retarded.
Its really a terrible PR move on Blizzard's side with anyone who had thought of this as a good idea is an idiot. Why? You already had granted those people with beta address and in itself that was a win, now giving an achievement to them as a FoS is just riddiculous, beyond anything.
They said quite a while ago that nothing, including achievements would carry over. All they are doing here is checking what BNet accounts got flagged.
I was in CB and I appreciate the feat but I can sympathize to those who won't get the exclusive sigil. Feats are largely meaningless and require digging for you to notice them but sigils are right there on your banner for every game. I guess I might try and justify that Diablo is mostly luck and I got the sigil for being One of the Chosen to be lucky
But for those who didn't get beta: way to spit on your face again, fellows.
should be the opposite. people who did the open beta should be awarded something for participating, because there was no limit who could play. it wasnt based on some rinky dink 'if your lucky' system
Getting something by random chance doesn't sit well with me. It should be everyone who wanted the beta, or some other criteria that shows you as a dedicated fan.
I like when its small, neat, entirely cosmetic things that not everybody have.
Back when I played WoW I had a Gurky (pink murloc pet) that very few had in Europe. Of the 148 pets I had, it was the only one i cared about. Maybe this sigil will be the same
