To test 13 year old code running on the legion engine?

Hardcore=paying every month for 14 years. But has far as raiding goes wrath to cata i was hardcore raiding on Proudmore ally with Premonition. Quit raiding after cata.

Another beta i wont get :c

Obviously, they confuse "practicing" with testing.

If it's more or equal to 10 euros an hour (AFTER taxes) I might think about it.

Hit me up in PM.

Depends on how good you are at it. Do you play the game, and write a bug once it happens, or do you try forcing bugs? I'd assume very few actually do the latter.

I think you should apply for game testing position rather than wait someone to PM you Big companies do have paid testers in their quality assurance teams.

Oh, I thought this was a public job opening, since "inviting opt-in beta testers" was mentioned in the post.

Clear instruction were given on how to test and give feedback, but no information on payment for my work were mentioned. Wanted to clarify.

no beta club

I'm sure I'll not get into a beta again after I was temp banned on the forums for responding to a post about someone mentioning that a legendary item shouldn't have the base item crafters name on it. I responded with "What you don't like the idea of wearing *insert legendary item of ultimate power* -crafted by masterdebaiter-" This for a game with everything from shit jokes to corpses strung upside down, and I'm sure there is a master baiter fishing joke somewhere too.

Reminds me of the time I got temp banned in battlefield 3 I think for repeating verbatim what your character says when getting shot at.

from all the people i have talked to it currenly seems like ONLY friends/family, and content creators.
i have yet to meet anyone who was "randomly" invited, so be sure when they do it will likely be soon.
the servers CONSTANTLY dropped today anyways so guess they are fine tuning it.

Thats because content creators get in garunteed, then opt in players get in.

Go on to Twitch and watch those streamers there are some bugs floating around. I watched like 30 minutes total from 3 streamers what I saw was graphical glitches, aoe cap not working as intended, some problem with mana regen and they talked about have been reporting more bugs but I didn't see them.

I dont understand how can people complain about streamers getting the beta. They are one of the most fit to get beta. They 100% will play the game a lot, they will test and report things and through them a lpt of ppl can enjoy the beta.

For a lot of us that are unsubbed and waiting for something in the gaming world to peak our interests TBC is it. I played the entirety of TBC and have wanted this way before Classic Vanilla was even a thing.

I do hope you get Beta so you can come back here and tell people you have it but you wont play "old garbage". Thanks for your meaningful contribution.

well i hope i don't get beta i didn't opt in and i hated bc, i didn.t enjoy it blizzard dose the invites in strange ways

lol, the moarg in hellfire have weird textureless parts, change in size randomly and instantly, and also sometimes are just invisible.

pets of mobs you out-ranged evading but continuing to attack you and never stopping to you die

Cause you likely never turned that off.

the "opt in" is only for specific ones.

You got it all kinds of backwards, this is offering you the privilege to play the beta before the game comes out. Testing for bugs is a nice bonus for blizzard, but the betas have always been more of a marketing strategy than an official testing procedure. They won't pay you to do it because they want YOU to pay, that's the entire point.

Why would someone play and pay for a buggy game, and do work for free?

That is the exact premise behind early access games. The idea for those is you get insight into the studios development process by playing the game early while volunteering help with bugs. Although I guess you don't need to be subbed in order to opt into this beta, but you usually do for retail betas I believe.
