When is beta?

[Jaylock]

Anyone know when the beta is incoming? For some reason, this time around, i am really looking forward to testing the game during the Beta. And this time, i will actually give feedback and bug reports instead of just playing to play.

I know they said beta early 2018, but what does that mean? Like January? Feb?

Also, how long will the beta last?

[Eleccybubb]

None of your sources internally throwing any hints Jay mate?

Honestly I wanna get my hands on Beta as well. Of course to test stuff but I'm actually pumped for BFA. Going back to the old Horde v Alliance themes.

It feels like we are going back in time @Jaylock to the Warcraft era.

From the amount of "Blizzard" sources you've claimed to have had in the past, one would think you'd already know

Where's your Blizzard sources now, Mr. ShitWizard?

7.3.5 will hit live somewhere mid January, the beta is probably waiting until that's done so they have maximum server performance just for the beta.

Best bet is February

[Nyel]

Beta is months, months away. Pretty sure beta won't happen in Q1/18 so we're talking about 4-6 months until beta starts.

This is very unlikely. Bringing 7.3.5 live after they've been in maintenance mode and haven't really done much on the PTR? Yeah sure.

Still waiting for @Jaylock to confirm his sources from Blizzard.

[Sberdila]

The internet is a savage place lol

[Seramore]

the expansion is coming out mid-late summer, so basically around the legion timeframe. "public" testing will probably start in mid february

[Stacie]

I think Feb sometime but honestly no idea just a stab in the dark. The latest PTR should go live mid Jan. Getting hands on beta probably will be far later anyway for most.

[Archmage Alodi]

Ask your reliable sources.

Just because I have sources at Blizzard, doesn't mean they tell me everything. Thats not how it works.

Have you even worked in the journalism industry? lol.

[Dracullus]

I guess around February, week-two after PTR of 7.3.5 will end.

Well i would imagine we would see a pre orders announcement before the beta that would make more sense

You realize that even with high up sources they can't divulge everything?
@Jaylock does have high up sources at Blizzard but I imagine they are just not allowed to tell him.

Let's be honest, would you be telling Jaylock anything important even if you could?

If it got me some attention in terms of press then yes.

That's how PR works. You don't give too much away but just enough to get the attention you need.

Nobody believes you got any sources anyway lol.
And what's with the formating the thread title as a "I know when the beta will start". Don't tell me you didn't mean to do that. Because I am not buying it.

can we fuck off with the clickbait titles
