I think the first wave will be very strict, probably mostly content creators and streamers but there will always be some lucky others :crossed_fingers:t4:

Lets hope it’s not too long before they add more waves of people.

We all know people will come and shout on the forums that they have it, so we will know.

People actually listen to the ramblings of ‘content creator’s’ it seems. That was nothing short of a stab in the dark as it’s odds on we ae getting some news shortly.

Some of them are really eager to sink their teeth into beta and have lots of stuff to stream and make vids about.

And most if them are really boring and misrepresent the community.

Personally, I don’t watch streamers, I follow a few on twitter and they can put out some interesting content but I find streaming boring. I am usually in the minority.

However, there is no denying that a huge number of people do watch streamers. They do like to watch the content they are doing, see the personalities of the streamers etc. They have significant followings.

I don’t think streamers or content creators are all the same. Some take a more journalistic approach, others will just dive in and do stuff, others are big characters.

Regular players do get in to beta tests as well ofc.

I don’t watch streamers aswell but I understand why some people do, the one thing I can’t grasp my head around is those super fast chat box lol. Everyone drops messages at the same time and in the end there’s no conversation since you can’t see anything.

I honestly don’t know how they keep up or talk to their audiences once they become more popular. It’s incredible. Must become second nature.

I got a shadowlands beta in my launcher since 2 days without it being there before but all I can do is click “uninstall” on it but thats not tbc either :frowning:

About their “unfair” beta privileges, I was one of the random players who got invited to classic beta and to be honest streamers did more for the game than regular people.
While popular streamers were attracting thousands of viewers and made in game events, random players were mostly americans with an active sub who burned out after 2-3 weeks, because in their opinion there was nothing left to do after completing scarlet monastery at lvl 30 cap. By the time Blizzard unlocked lvl 40 I was just getting into stv which was a desert.

I remember Asmongold’s pleas to get Blizz to invite more people to beta as there just weren’t enough people.

Just like classic beta it will only be for streamers to promote it, nothing to do with actual beta testing
