Is this the contest for the best idea for the contest? I hope so!
My idea is opening few topics (or news) in random time named like:
"1st fall of 5 beta keys give away", then autors of first 5 replies (or comments) in this topic get the beta
Very simple and You will get more visits

They did trivia today and it was the same way.

It's pointless to explain, there will always be butthurt twelve yearolds who cry about <insert any unit here which just kicked his ass> being imba, or in this case complaining about a beta they're playing for free, and forgot what the real point of the beta is, to help Blizzard test their new system. Yes, maybe they went to the darkside a bit, and I can't really blame them, WoW is the number one priority, but if you (OP and others who think like this) don't wanna be part of this beta, I'm pretty sure we can get a few people who might want to have your bnet account and you can just wait for the release of the actual game, buy it, and THEN complain if something goes wrong.

Ok, I know that being 13 makes you think that anyone who is 12 is crying about anything, but take a step back from smelling your own shit for a minute and actually understand what the problem here is.

I'm not playing this beta for "Free." I know that in your own little confused world where you don't have a job or buy anything because the pirate bay makes it available to you, you think that everyone is just like that. Surprise I spent money to play this "Free Beta".

Second, for all the little Neanderthals who have never written a program or worked on a group project that you are going to sell to people, a little clarification. BETA means after ALPHA. Alpha is where problems like buggy patches, failed translations, and lack of support happen. If these things are happening in a Beta it means that they are bound to show up in the RC. That's Release Candidate for you.

And third, this thread is my fucking opinion, take it or leave it. Don't try to tell me that I don't have a right to complain, who the hell are you to tell me that?

God damn, how fucking stupid are you? Please upload your receipt to show us that you paid Blizzard $65 for Stracraft 2 Beta. Last I checked you just put a down payment on Starcraft 2 (THE FULL VERSION). The beta is just an extra that you are not entitled to. If you seriously cannot understand this concept, then you are a complete waste of oxygen.

Also, we the public are entitled to tell you that your opinion is fucking retarded.

Well I just got one from my pre-order earlier today, and would have waited until release to buy the game otherwise. I have the receipt stowed away in my wallet.

He makes perfect sense, these simple issues should have been sorted out in alpha, beta is mostly for things like exploits, and glitches that will appear 1 in a million times, but most of all balancing. If you cannot understand that then you are a waste of the single brain cell god granted you.

Wow a a lot of hate for the blizzards today. I just thought I would throw my 2 cents in and mention all the times blizzard has patched wow and it screwed the game up for 2 weeks or more with rubber banding and lag and constant crashes. Not to mention all the expansions that were crap when they first came out. I'm sorry. But when you're talking software this complex over so many different systems, you are going to get bugs. YOu could even take all the same computers on some complex code and it could have random bugs for different machines. Its just the way software development goes. AND its beta, so if your bitchin, your not helping. /rant

There are the same widespread bugs that go across everything with SC2. Like 11st place and their uncanny ability to be unable to turn on the servers.

Cutting corners and creating bugs is much different than accidentally creating them.

lmao There will always be a closet gay 45 year old man with "I'm not in beta rage."

of course we all want our shit to work but the fact that its SC2 beta implies that its not perfect and its for testing purposes and you knew that when you signed up for it and now your getting angry because the game isnt perfect

Yeah, I mean not like it is WoW.

And people did pay for this, many pre-ordered just to get the beta key.

It is far from an imperfection! It will not even working.

And something hey have no excuse for is their forums not even working.

Yeah, they forgot to test the patch update on an actual consumer machine. Go to SC2/Support/SC2Switcher.exe this will launch the game with the new patch installed. But B.net is down. Pointless to try.

hey this patch is supposed to come with the map editor can u access that yet or is that for commercial beta users only

I can use it, but you need map making experience because it is fairly complicated and there are no tutorials.

Blizzard FAILS to Impress 
While WoW gamers get the most attention and patches that work flawlessly; Blizzard releases a rather flawed patch 9 for their famous Starcraft 2 Beta. The patch when installed causes an infinite loop when the user tries to run the game. BUT, that's not all; Battlenet 2.0 has a series of simple errors such as "12rd" and "11st" place on ladders. This clearly points to Blizzard trying to save a buck and outsourcing the programming tasks to ease production costs. The lead developer of Battlenet2.0 should be replaced with a monkey that knows the Indian language. The results would be a tremendous improvement. (Somebody LIED on their resume' to get the job.) The Battlenet monkeys have lost data, broken connections, reset ladders multiple times, and ignored real issues. 
At the same time Blizzard attorneys have been feverishly trying to stop any and all websites trying to make an emulator for their newest Battlenet 2.0 server. (This site does not have a Battlenet 2.0 server, nor does it use any software by Blizzard..so fuck off Blizz/Activision attorneys!) Blizzard seems to be ignoring the cries of the players for simple fixes and LAN capability. No more partying with friends! After 6 years of development and and years longer waiting for a sequel, Blizzard seems to be showing it's Starcraft fans exactly how it could care less about them since they do not sport a $15.00 USD membership fee EVERY MONTH!
To top things off most cannot enter a bug report to make Blizzard fully aware of its latest patch loop fuckup. The problem you ask? Battlenet accounts and forum accounts are linked. This means if you do not have an avatar picked (which is gone because of resets to the Battlenet Database) you CANNOT POST. How stupid is that? No picture..no post.  
If Blizzard wants to get their shit straight, they need to hire a new Battlenet 2 Lead Developer/Manager and get the developers from the open source sc2 emulation teams to help the Indian developers that were outsourced to figure it all out.
What an absolutely disgusting display of ignorance on Blizzard's behalf.

:thumbsup:

I'll send blizz $15 and see if they can get their greedy hands to program something other than WoW.

Don't worry it is not working for those of us in the beta either... server resets.

Fucking Blizzard... The day I get my Beta Key is the same day they decide to release this failed patch, since it gets stuck in an infinite loop and keeps trying to update the 1st patch... Wow, great job. Did they even test it before release? Obviously not since EVERYONE experienced this problem. Not only that, but once you can figure out how to maneuver around this fucking annoyance you get shafted with a Battle.net is down for maintenance message. Further investigation proves that this is for a reset of ranks and profiles. O rly? A reset takes 5-10 minutes, not 5-10 hours. OK, That's fine and everything I know things need to be looked into, especially after blizzard fails on a patch, but how about making a topic in their own forum about the problem and it being looked into, NOTHING.

And how about making a page or section or anything that shows the status of the Battle.net servers. Its like Blizzard has forgotten that they have been a video game company for how many years now? Shiny graphics but shitty support.

I'm with you, blizz is pissing me off, not just with the crashes.

They started by letting wow take over, in the past 6 years that starcraft has been "in development" how many WoW expansions have come out?

How do they have to shut these servers down for a day when WoW gets huge updates and little to no down time.

How do they manage to mess up the f'in updater, while WoW is perfectly fine no matter what.

Blizzard has been consumed by WoW. We will not see any more good games coming from them.

You can expect about 15 more WoW expansions before diablo 3 is released and about 50 before SC3.

They also outsource work to some country in asia... how do you mess it up to the point that there is 11st 12nd and 13rd?

A company making more than a billion a month cannot get this to work, who knows maybe WoW has a problem with the color of the "GIVE YOU MONEY TO BLIZZ" button that they need to fix.

Maybe the SC2 devs that want to make a game need to split off like the torchlight team did.

Lowered the price to 45$.

Sc:Bw
Wc3
Sc2:Beta

I think you'd be lucky to get $10... when it is $50 for beta and they game.

Quote from: Flexserve on April 22, 2010, 07:13:38 PM
Close it when it loops.
Launch using sc2switcher exe file in starcraft 2 Beta subdirectory.
Battlenet is still down.

Blizz MUST have outsourced this project, this is C-Rated programming.

Hopefully the Blizzard stock will not fall below 12rd place. (an example of outsourcing).

This game is planned to release after the 11st year of development.

I guess he really did get it...     Sorry guys.  I shoulda done the raffle thing.  I was just trying to stick to my words.

Next time I get a key,  it will be a competition like thing so hopefully that will go better...

I think it was worth it from your POV. This guy was pretty funny, watching him while he humiliated himself was pretty funny, along with the fact that he sat refreshing for 5 hours.

HELLS YES! I GOT THE KEY BITCHES! HAHA I ACTUALLY GOT THE KEY EVEN THOUGH YOU ALL WERE LIKE "DONT GIVE THE ASSHOLE THE KEY!" GOOD BYE LOSERS.  I'M GONNA GO PLAY ON MY NEW ACCOUNT NOW AND NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PATHETIC SITE!  lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I got mine through blizz and got to keep 5 hours of my life  lmao .

I feel sorry for people like this, and I must admit that he does deserve the key after his hours of f5 spamming; all while getting yelled at by his mom to stop eating all of the hot-pockets.

In about a week when i receive my friend invite, that will be raffled through my youtube. I might do a contest though, either way when I get a friend invite it is going up.

Where is the stupid beta key huh? I've been refreshing this page for like  almost 3 hours already!  If you had the key you woulda already posted it.  All you noobs are just too stupid to see that he doesnt have the key.

Beggars cannot be choosers.

You could have made the money to pre-order at gamestop and get ur beta key with the three hours of work you have put in.

intelligence is so hard to come by these days.  :bangshead:
