Last wave of beta?

[Daviddishere]

The news today said the last wave of beta invites is going out next week. Do they mean the last wave before release?

[Deleted]

Could be, I don't know. If it really is the last one it could mean they'll give us release date soon™.

Edit:
Unless it's the last wave of closed beta before going open beta? Has Blizz said anything if there will be one?

[Damerae]

There will not be an open beta.

There will not be an open beta.

why do you think so?

Because surely for a game that is predominantly single player, open beta equates to a demo? Especially since the current beta limits to Act 1

A guild member of our guild told about a week ago that he is working at Blizzard (here in Finland?) and he said that there will be lots of beta invites to be sent early next year. He said that he will add everyone who is interested from the guild to the queue.

well add me to >,,<

Same kind of troll happened to us while the first invitations were rolled. The guy claimed his father was working in some kind of a gaming magazine and they got tons of beta keys everytime a huge scale game goes to beta... Ofc, nothing came out from it hah

Well if he is living in Finland and claiming to work for Blizzard, he must be a troll I believe. Blizzard only has employees in Paris and in Cork, Ireland at the moment. You can't work from home for them, you must be located at those offices. A lot of people claim to work for Blizzard but forget those vital facts

Does Blizzard offer work from home or jobs in other locations?

Telecommuting is not available for any position. All positions are located either in our offices in Velizy just outside of Paris, France or in Cork, Ireland as specified in the job description.
