Heart of the Swarm Beta Early Summer

[Kimera757]

Beta test coming soon: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/6983561

We are preparing to invite testers for the Heart of the Swarm beta very soon! To be clear, this test will be for the multiplayer experience only. We will begin with a select group, including many players who assisted us in testing Patch 1.5, as well as some pro-gamers and press. Over time, we will add more and more testers into the mix.
If you are interested in participating in the beta test, please make sure you are opted in for beta testing. You can do this by clicking "Beta Profile Settings" under the Account Management section of your Battle.net account. Note that the opt-in doesn't guarantee entry, but gives you a chance at joining the beta test. Also, we'll be working with your favorite fansites and community personalities to give away more entries to the beta test, so keep an eye out for invites coming from the greater StarCraft community over the coming weeks.
We can’t wait to get the public test started for Heart of the Swarm, and we look forward to collecting your feedback.
The Swarm is coming!

So...by that definition, its better to be a pessimist and forget about it ever happening, rather than be optimistic about it and hold out hope.

As a professional pessimist, I can tell you there's no downside. You're rarely disappointed, you're always prepared for the worst, and victories taste so much sweeter.

I agree with the squid. A pleasant surprise is always better than disappointment.

Was watching Painuser's stream last night, and he swore up and down that it was a matter of days. Figure he's on some kind of NDA, but he never actually gave a date, so.........On the other hand, I'll swear I've heard him take bong hits while playing live, so I've no idea what to think.

Only MJ? With a name like Painuser I would expect at least heroin.

I completely forgot about Diablo 3 until a month before release. Made all of the difference when I played it, i.e. I did not want to kill myself like other BlizzFanatics.
