    That does make me weary of that early access though. I thought for sure we would have a decent amount of time before its release. At least released with the pre-launch event(s).

    They meant this past Nov (2015). Legion was originally supposed to release much earlier than August, as in Q1 of this year.

    Personally, if I got a beta invite I might play it up to max level, but considering I'm not subbed right now, I don't think I will get one.
    That doesn't matter, my little brother got a beta invite and he wasn't subbed, and I did not get an invite and I was subbed. (for previous xpacs)

    Last november not this one. The expansion was in its very basic stages so they didn't want to use the word beta after blizzcon. Most games use the beta stage for final bug fixes, balancing, polish, and stress testing now.

    He covered the legacy outcry... but seriously not touched the content drought we experienced with the last 4 expansions?

    Here's to hoping we'll still see some cinematic stuff before release, like with Warlords where they all showed up about 2 months prior. :P

    "The team made leveling through previous expansions faster to reduce the barrier to entry for people that want to catch up and play with their friends. The Character Boost system solves this problem, so there is no need to rush players through leveling anymore."

    I read this as "leveling used to be easy, now that you can pay 60 dollars for a character boost, prepare for it to be much harder"

    One can only hope that the idiot whiners and complainers will actually make good on their "promises" to quit the game this go around, leaving normal people to enjoy the expansion.

    They should add visual rewards or titles or something for the people brave enough to level in their new system versus paying rly money for insta cap.

    I don't know about the Alpha-cool kids, but this entire interview/announcement was pretty much meaningless to me.

    Appreciate the idea, but there was nothing that I didn't already know, except the transition to beta. And quite frankly, who cares? Alpha = Beta from the perspective of someone who is not invited and is just watching. For those invited, what does it mean? Higher stability, more polish? We've spent months on the forums reiterating that this Alpha basically is Beta, so I'm not really excited about the announcement :P

    wrong, they were hoping to have a long beta, but people see beta as "complete and polished" so they brought alpha, and decided to bring beta later when its actuallty better

    They play a normal character, so once that cat is out the bag there is nothing they can really do about it, short of a character rename.
    And even a rename should it remain in the same guild wouldn't be hard to track down.

    Indeed if they want to convince us they are more than just noise, practice what you preach and leave.
    And leave the community in a slightly better state in the process.
    Someone unhappy that the game is not catering solely to their whims is dragging others down.
    Be mature enough to just leave it alone, instead of being hellbent on hurting the experience of others.

    it was more for the average player... not the ones who are on mmochamp looking at every single datamined thing every day... as most of the stuff he says is stuff most people wont know (dont read mmo champ daily, and arnt on the alpha)

    But for most of us who will have early access to demon hunters (prior to the actual release of Legion) it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense not to have those cinematics available prior to the actual release. Unless of course he simply means to say that these cinematics will not be available in beta.
    I think it's a transcription error; the summary on MMOC says "until Legion launches," while Ion actually said "until the live game."
