100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way

So not only are there bad players and streamers like Towellie who say the new dungeons are overtuned because you can't roflstomp them anymore but there's idiots who haven't even read up on any of the new changes for their class beforehand. Blizzard is ridiculous, they knew they would be screwing people over with this and now they just offer an "I'm sure you'll get in soon, be patient with us" response when there are people who legitimately know what and how to test. I'm probably in a small group of players who actually care enough to read all the new talents and changes and write down a list of things to test, but to no avail, cause people who go "OOOOOOOOO the spell looks prettier" are cluttering up the servers and doing nothing useful for Blizzard or the people who want to see the new changes in action.

AMG I'm ranked on fights so I must be much better so I deserve a BETA lmao... This thread is just comical and entertaining for me at work.

What honestly makes you deserve a BETA before anyone else? Because you are more "skill" or a better guild in which kills things faster meaning ranking more, and getting people to feed you damage increase buffs sooo sad.

Honestly you are worse then the people QQing about now getting in because they have been playing the game since 2006.

Also this isn't coming from someone(cause you seem to believe that Ranking and Progression is the most important) that is 3/8H or 8/8r or anything. I'm also 8/8H and same as you so just take a deep breathe, go enjoy the outside word, and once you get the BETA you can learn how to lvl your lock the fastest way possible so that you are able to get server first warlock. We all know this is why you want it, to get those epeen points.

If I was Blizz I'd make all your crying little babies be the last to get into BETA, cause you are the same people that cry about how the game is to easy and make fun of the people that go on the forums saying to nerf heroics or so on. See now you know how they feel, they don't like things to be super challenging, and you are the one crying about not getting into a Beta that has been out for what now 2 weeks or so. AMG I want in now cause there is only another 5 plus months to go and I need to learn how to exploit and so on to level the fastest to push World(doubtful) Realm Firsts.

Expand your view guy.

Pretty much, always found the "fan-boi" to blizzard amusing.

A million times this.
And for your information, SwaggaJuice, Blizzard needs all types of players to test the new content. Good players, bad players, Casuals, Hardcores, even (gasp) low levels.

Agreed 100%

Subbed since 7/8/05. Had about 8 or so total months of inactivity, got the AP on release. Got my beta invitation about 20 minutes ago.

Still nothing.. This gets annoying, seriously.

Just a bunch of crying. atleast blizz learned there lesson. Don't allow for Beta access from signing up and paying for something. Cause the majority of the Blizzard community does nothing in there life but play this game and if they dont get things NOW they QQ on the forums

I've been playing since the beta of the original game and I've yet to get in. I assume its completely random.

Rest assured that we WILL get all of our Annual Pass holders into the beta test.Yea How long must we wait....

"We can’t let everyone in at the same time; however, all Annual Pass holders will be invited before any opt-ins." Damn, I was having fun trolling people saying I got into beta and didn't sign up for the annual pass. It's amazing how saying that will make people rage. But, the complete inverse is true. I do have the annual pass, and have not gotten into beta yet. And frankly, don't really care when I do.

Playing since day one, even had the original collectors edition, have a total sub time of over 80 months and got the AP on the first day. Seeing these people say that they've been playing since wrath or BC get their's before all the people like me is just frustrating. QQ i know but if blizzard says it is based on those things, then why are they not actually following there own criteria? If they hadn't said it was based on those things and had said it was completely random i think you would have seen alot less QQing and more just hoping and waiting.

The 2 people who got it in my raid were from 2005 and 2006, make sure to check your account on the website, none of them got an email. I'm 2008, so I guess I'll have to wait :-(

I am also pretty sure your beta profile is taken under consideration to have multiple computer configuration testing the game.

Yikes Swagga, use paragraphs, seriously.... *eyes bleed*

I don't think so...keep checking. I got home from work at 2:30 PM EST and no email/battle.net page blank.

Checked again at about 3:30 EST and boombeta! (11/23/04 and 12/3/2012 for start and AP respectively)

I got mine sometime around noon Pacific time. Here are my stats for anyone keeping track: Account Created: 11/23/04 Annual Pass: 10/22/11 Active Subscription: 71 months (non-consecutive) Beta Status: Invited around noon 03/30/12

confirmed i just received my beta invite

There seems to be some disparity regarding the invites, in general , most people have accounts from '04/'05 however you signed for the AP WAY late. I have 2 accounts with the AP myself, one from 2005 which I signed for the AP a week ago (23 March) and one other account from 2011 which I signed for the AP on day one. ALso a GM told me that a F.a.Q regarding invites criteria shall be released soonish on the B.net forums, so be patient everyone

September/October 2006 actually. I don't know what they based my entry on, just know the fact that I've pretty much had an active account all the way, signed up fast for the AP, and have been active in hardcore endgame for a while back in TBC. Nothing more, nothing less.
