How does blizzard chose beta testers

Inside the World Championship. Inside the Mythic Dungeon International. New to WoW. Returning Players. Most Recent. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Run the Battle.

Once Battle. Allow installation to complete, click Play and select any of the available Test Servers. Create a new test character or copy over a character from your live WoW Classic account using the Copy Character button.

Do not despair. I have been in a few betas and stress tests myself, and it has always burned me out on the new content before it is actually released. Outside of the usual suspects such as streamers and addon creators, it actually is fairly random.

Those people will actually rage about it, talk about how the beta sucks, ect. If you do get in and find something odd or busted, at least take the time to file a report on it. Ever since I heard about signing up for beta I usually get it in. Last couple though it seems a waste of time to report issues and only to see them still in game on release.

From my experience I would always get beta if I had cutting edge. Skip to Main Content. Overwatch League. Log In. My Tickets. Contact Support. World of Warcraft Patch 9. Relevant Products:. I want access to the next WoW beta. Customer Support cannot grant Alpha or Beta access. Signing up for Alpha or Beta testing does not guarantee access to the Alpha or Beta.

I just think it would be a nice nod to those of us that were there day 1. I mean, you are free to wish that is the threshold. The connection to relevance in my example is that its Vanilla WoW relaunching and inviting those who were literally there day 1 all those years ago. I would do actual testing and report if needed. But like you say, will Blizzard take onboard feedback? One would hope so. I think the most important thing that a beta can do for Blizzard is to test for bugs, and that necessarily means including a large variety of different hardware to make sure that there are no hardware-specific bugs.

Yes, in theory, they already have Retail doing this, but as the old saying goes, in theory there is no difference between theory and practice. Randomly for anyone that already have in anytime a battle. WoW is there, and presumably that includes all versions of WoW. Me personally? You raise good questions, IMO.
