SC2 Support Page Online

[FrozenArbiter]

Kinda surprised there's not a topic about this here, even though it's pretty minor. I guess it slipped under the radar :P

Or maybe there is and I can't find it - I checked the news forum tho.

EDIT: Basically, until today (I think?), the SC2 box was just greyed out.

I agree with you FA! It was definitely grayed out. Thanks for posting this

I like this statement here:

The StarCraft® II beta is coming!

Will opting in early improve my chances of being selected?
Beta invitees will be selected periodically from the entire pool of players who have chosen to opt in and who meet the requirements. Opting in early doesn't mean you'll be invited sooner than someone who signs up after you.








Darn.

The StarCraft® II beta is coming!

Kinda sound like a broken record here, but we've been hearing that since Feb. of this year. Pardon me if I come across as indefinitely skeptical about any signs of progress with Blizzard.

Hey guys remember when they opened the beta opt in? Beta was IMMINENT.

Or when they had that fansite summit on June 23rd and we were all so stoked for beta and it was coming any day and it was gonna be the best summer ever?

Or like at Blizzcon when we were so certain they just HAD to announce a beta date or the world would end?


Well, it's December 18th and they've opened up the SCII support page. Beta is SO CLOSE.


Good times.

Guys, blizzard has never actually came out and said beta is coming. SC:L has been the only real website that has made that suggestion, and that came in april.

Blizzard has mentioned they were aiming for specific dates, but refrain from ever saying anything is "coming".

Also, if you look here:

It seems as though they actually have a beta. It's pretty damn unbelievable to me that they'd be able to tell you how to install the game correctly after an issue, if they didnt actually have it.

Now, its possible this is all just the usual stuff they put out as troubleshooting, but I still am left thinking they added this support page because they are ready to launch the beta.

I remember some troll on the b-net forums posted the entirety of Waiting for Godel, and replaced every mention of the word godel with starcraft 2.

I guess that means that starcraft2 is not coming, but our internal unfulfillment and antipathy traps in a state of perpetual waiting for something that can only be brought about through internal change.

And were all queers.



in regards to the OP:

I'm pretty sure nobody took it seriously because it was on the B-net forums, thus everyone assumed it to be factually incorrect and a troll.

edit:

But now it's Christmas, we deserve this gift!
Otherwise the beta, perhaps BR5

SC:L never said beta was coming either IIRC.

IIRC, Legacy hinted at something around April 1st, which lots of people assumed was beta (there was a beta key contest for that date), but the hint turned out to be about the classified press event.

Making things more confusing, there were hints that Blizzard really wanted to launch beta then, but battle.net 2.0 wasn't developed enough at that point.
