    Has Beta Begun Silently?

    I keep seeing more and more people posting about their experiences in the Alpha/Beta but yet no one I know has been invited. Are these people just winners of contests or what?

    Uh..... Alpha's been going on for months.

    There is no Beta yet. Despite devs continually using the wrong phrase for Alpha.

    I know, right? It's like the distinction is irrelevant, or something. Idiots.

    Still flagged as "Alpha: Legion" in the Battle.Net Launcher, and the version stamp on the placeholder loading screen still says "Alpha."
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    A lot of people I know, myself included, have alpha. No-one has won any contest or such. Sure, we've all killed mythic Archimonde but some I know killed Archi in the last month, so hardly counts as being hardcore or anything.

    We've had a metric ton of threads about alpha/beta and what's the difference in addition to the megathread on the topic.

    Closing this. You can post in the megathread or alternately here:
