World of Warcraft - Cataclysm V3: Closed Beta has Begun! - Games

[quote]While 24 hours was simply an estimate, I do understand how easy it can be to lean towards a more literal interpretation. That'll teach me. ;) It's important to keep in mind that we're distributing World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta invites the same way we distributed StarCraft II beta invites. Instead of sending out a beta code via email and requiring the user to flag their own account, we're doing all of that for you. The invitation process is running, but it takes time to flag each account that's eligible. Players who opted in and were selected as recipients for this first round of beta invites will likely be informed through Battle.net Account Management sometime today, though, potentially before the invitation email arrives.[/quote] [url]http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25626285604/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-beta-now-live/[/url]

Doesn't mention EU or US specificity though :(

Most likely US only, since it was posted on US forums. EU will probably start getting invites later.

Mm. :(

I lost every incentive I had for levelling my hunter once I hit Northrend :(

This looks promising! [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/pu8SU.jpg[/img_thumb]

This makes me moist.

Level 82. It just looks so taboo. [editline]8:17 PM[/editline] omg that rhymed

[quote]There's not currently a set interval for when additional invites will be sent out. Our goal is to create the best testing environment possible, though, so we'll issue more invites as the need for a larger beta population grows. :)[/quote] :colbert:

I never saw the appeal for the beta. Too much spoilers.

When i transfered my character from trollbane to argent dawn this came in my mailbox. World of Warcraft Account Name: *************** TRANSACTION ID: ********** - NEXAL - Level 80 Gnome Troll on Trollbane - moving to Argent Dawn. Apparently i'm a troll instead of mage.

Mages are the trolls of Cataclysm. They're getting some new talents in Arcane that look quite fiendish.

So what's the story with the textures and such? Are they replacing all of the old world textures with new ones or just in certain places?

time ran out today anyone wanna help a bro out?

Is it just me or does Blizzard pick crappy voice actors. I was getting payed to go with a group of 70 twinks through Sunwell. Oh god the acting was horrible. A lot of voice acting in WoW seems pretty bad to me

Ruby sanctum's voice acting seems like they hired a bunch of hermaphrodites.

I got 10 fake closed beta emails over night, this is what I get for allowing all emails from @blizzard.com to skip my spam box.

I don't play with my sound on, I feel like I've missed a lot of good music in zones I level in but I've always listened to music, even raiding with my guild I listen to music on a low

Eh, I play with music off too. Sure the music is great but sometimes you need that extra bit of entertainment while playing WoW. Especially while levelling during which I normally have a video or something on.

I turned game sounds off at level 10 and they havn't been on since and that was like 4 years ago. [editline]10:56AM[/editline] [url]http://db.mmo-champion.com/s/75289/[/url] Fuck yes! but I wish I could wear my monocle AND my tophat.

I must have that

uncommon stam gem is 60stam, rare is 75 stam and the JC only one is 126 Stam... what the hell

ahh, cant wait till my alt in cata hits Outland for the gem-slot greens.. it will be awesome.

i'm so glad with my Peggle addon.

Got a treat for you guys, made some screenshots of Dun Morogh. Heavy changes to the starting area, Gnomeregan and [b]IRONFORGE AIRPORT AUGH[/B]. Will be uploading them later!
