Hah, you guys are funny. I feel bad for you guys, your care way too much. I would never get this distraught over a beta or game period.


Says the guy who gets to play SC2 every night now ;p

Besides gear, it's fun seeing people have a heart attack over this. What would the internet be like without nerd raging?

Even if I never have played the game, I wouldnt care this much.

For example, Batman Arkham asylum was delayed, but I didnt ***** and moan, even though I really wanted that game.

I guess its just acting my age...

So assuming that the beta is going to be out during the first quarter, that means that Blizzard is only going to beta test for a month?

Obviously this is some sort of joke.

My guess is that the beta is going to be released first or second quarter of 2010. Then they'll beta test for a while, and they'll "finish" around third quarter 2010. Then they'll be like "hey Christmas is soon, lets just beta test a bit and release it around then." Then they'll do some more beta testing, but then suddenly they'll find a bunch of bugs or something! At that point they'll overshoot the Christmas deadline and end up releasing the game first or second quarter 2011.

Now i just hope the game is out before cristmas 2010, but june 2011 is more likely i think. I know that it's blizzard and that i shouldn't have that high hopes for their release dates, but i can't help it. (...)

Oh the nerd rage and the drama in this thread. So lovely to read. Like rabid and drugged rabbits tearing at the bars of their self made cage. =)
Goodbye sc2armory.

C'mon, admit it, you must find a small amount of entertainment value in all this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I myself am not really upset so much as just disappointed that I may not be playing as soon as I thought I would. /shrug. More time to go play my other games I guess.

I still don't believe beta has been pushed back in the united states. Russia isn't a part of the initial launch of beta, as it says here:

When does the StarCraft II beta test start?

We dont have an exact start date to share at this time, but note that when it does begin, we will be adding additional regions to the beta test in phases. North America, Australia, and New Zealand will be the first regions to begin beta testing, and other regions will follow afterward in phases. We will have more information to share about all of these phases in the future.

The reason for setting up the beta in regional phases is that it takes time to set up and configure our testing infrastructure in each area. Bringing up one region at a time makes the overall testing process for StarCraft II and Battle.net more efficient from a development perspective, making the test more effective, and allowing us to complete the game more quickly than if we attempted to start the beta test in all regions at the same time. We will share more information about the start dates for the beta in different regions at a later date.

I believe Sigaty was telling Russia when Russia would get phased into beta.

It would be more fair by Blzizard to say: we don't know when the Beta will come out, or their famous "when it's done". But nooooo, they had to say "Beta, for sure, until the end of year". >:-(

Blizzard has it worst than us, it's quite easy to see.

Oh com'on. You're always acting like an ass in your proper community. I bet you have some kind of rage inside you and now, since this website has launched, you're happy to take revenge by having some power on users. That's sad. That's why, unfortunately, you're probably not acting at your age.

-----------

So, Mr.IworkforBlizzardandthisiswhyImbetterthanyou, can you tell us, EXACTLY, if Chris was speaking about the Russian Beta or the Beta overall?

You could be very usefull, for the first time in this topic, if you're able to answer this simple question by a YES or a NO. Because since 2 pages of posts, besides "HAHAHA you're so dumb", I didn't see answers from you. I guess you simply don't know.

Lol right Edgeworth. Im not joking, I wouldn't give a **** if the game kept being delayed and I had not played it. Sure its annoying, but I wouldn't whine about it.

I also act like an ass because 75% of these forums are stupid posts, topics and users. If I dont act like an ass and let things slide, people would just continue being idiotic.

And lastly, even if I knew something, I wouldn't say anything. Enjoy.
