It's a mixed feeling, knowing that such a massive wave is going out, with all the speculation that may bring alongside it, but then having myself and four friends opted in from the beginning, entering contests, etc., and still not being in.

Oh well, I'm happy for those who did get in, even if they got in on a second account... *glare*

Quote from Shway

I am really surprised at the amount of negative posts and comments made towards this game in the last couple months and more recently since Beta was released.

All i read about is...
"Why does the beta suck so much???"
"OMG why push back the release???"
"Why the small amount of content available in the beta???"
"Ugh. I'm so bored with beta after 2 weeks of playing."

You all sound like a bunch of 5 year olds who can't get what you want.

No invites have gone out to general public yet (confirmed by blue), only for press. Also when they will send invites, it will be 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Friday, North American Pacific time.

This week only Friday left for invites, and blue havent promised they'll send any invites tomorrow either, only when "we're comfortable with increasing concurrent players online." Concurrent players in F&F public servers were like 60 people, at peak! And still no additional invites, probably Blizzard has serious issues with servers beyond miniscule number of players.

Did they confirm that? Cant seem to find it :/
Not trying to start (another) flame war about weather or not public opt in key are out or not, but would be really nice to know for sure.

Yeah can we see a link to that blue post or something ?

No they did not confirm that at all (though from what we know we can imply it), and the quote about what times the invites can go out is also wrong, (he left out the "typically" part

So, I'll cautiously provide a little insight in the hopes it doesn't make you sad.

Are the invites done today?

This is something we aren't likely to answer during the beta test. Ever. I know everyone's aching for a piece of the Diablo III action, but the testing process won't be well served if the forums are flooded daily with questions about beta invite waves. There is no predetermined schedule for the rate at which players get invited to test the game.

The Blizzard folk who are monitoring the concurrency trend of people online and playing, as well as the stability of the game servers, will do waves of invites as needed. When I say "as needed," I mean when the servers are stable and we're comfortable with the room we have to get more people in the game. We won't do waves of invites if we feel our infrastructure at any given time can't handle an increased concurrency.

Beyond that, there's really only an extra morsel of information -- small though it may be -- I can provide as to when invites might go out. They'll go out, as I said before, when we're comfortable with increasing concurrent players online. And they'll typically go out during standard business hours (9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Friday, North American Pacific time).

For those who make it in, I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do. We look forward to hearing your feedback. For those who don't make it in quickly, stay tuned for more information on other giveaways and promotions. Just try not to drive yourself crazy waiting to get in. Ultimately, this is just a test of a very small portion of the game to prepare us for the official launch, when everyone can play the full game!

One last thing:

WTB Blue Post

Threads shouldn't be directed at Blizzard employees. We frown upon it. The forums should be a place where players can discuss topics with one another, and sometimes with Blizzard employees. We don't want forum threads created, directed at us, just to get our attention. It disrupts the flow of the forums. I know it seems ironic this thread got my attention and I've responded, but I'm only doing so in the hopes we don't see a repeat of this thread tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and...

Force's Diablo 3 play-throughs will suffice for now. I'm enjoying his work. Good to see 1080p Diablo 3 in full screen with good audio and decent commentary.
