    From what I have read, closed beta will be for a month. Then a month of open beta.

    what annoys me more is the keys been sold. There is people selling multiple keys on sites like ownedcore so it could be streamers selling off spare keys

    Dropped €45 on this today in my pursuit to make the perfect Spell Power Mage deck. The urge was to much as you gain cards kind of slowly from just playing alone

    Blizzard have another cash cow on their hands with this i feel

    You think that's bad? A guy on reddit created an entire sub-reddit with the purpose of raffling off keys donated by the community. He staged a fake lottery to get things rolling until someone actually donated a real key and then stole it for himself and deleted his account.

    Details here: http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1m32r3/this_community_has_stooped_to_a_new_low_uxenooo/

    Real low-life stuff :mad:

    FTFY :P

    Alas the wait for a key begins.

    It feels like a game were watching someone play is better than actually playing.

    I wouldn't know though :rolleyes:

    I read somewhere it will be 4 weeks of open beta(that was last week). So probably until the first week in Oct.

    No key here either.

    Hate that ****. That's why I liked the previous wow betas were you didn't get a key, they just flagged your account

    I've actually become addicted to watching twitch feeds of this game. Its really interesting to watch. Trump plays most evenings our time, good player and like the way he explains a lot of his plays.

    That twitter page is suspect, like 90% of them asking for more followers for giveaways.

    Would not surprise me in the least if he faked the email, why just show the letter and not his inbox as well ( a proper screencap ) , its too neatly typed and don't blizz always have the " Blizzard staff will never ask for your passwords " spiel as well ?

    It's the promotions team and not CS.

    Been that way for some time, and it makes sense, they get real exposure. But at the same time wished they stopped calling them betas.


    I've been in beta programmes for Blizzard since Warcraft III Frozen throne, and in pretty much all betas' including the Alpha for Wow, you'd think that would count to something

    Nope, **** ****s like Towliee get beta keys..

    Yeah. They're not betas. They should be closed press pre-release or something.

    Congrats.


    Been thinking of how this is a nice way of introducing gambling to younger demographics.
