Greetings Adventurers,
We wanted to take a quick moment to give you all a heads up about an upcoming closed Beta Test that our partner teams will be hosting with some small groups of players.
Our partners in China will be launching a new Beta Test server. This will be used for occasional tests for limited size groups, and will have the progress wiped at the end of each of these tests. At this time, this will only be available in China.
If this is only available in China, why are we telling you about this now? We want to tell you about it because we want to ensure we are being transparent and open with you, and also because I believe that this is a good thing that we are excited about. Even though these aren’t tests that you’ll necessarily be able to take part in yourselves at this time, this is a move that we think will help us ensure that future content that we release will be in the best state that it can be for all of our players worldwide.

The Chinese game client has functionality in it that isn’t present within the Western client, e.g. the AFK farming thing. So, as they’ll be testing with things we don’t have, is it a valid test for the Western client?

Good, instead of letting us speculate ( or come out with conspiracy theory) without head and tail, at least we know what is actually happening behind.
Thank you. 
In most cases, yes, the results would still be quite valid. It’s only in cases where the functionality or content being tested is affected by something that isn’t available worldwide that it might be less valid, but we don’t have any plans for those tests at this time.
All I care about is are you guys ever going to fix mm in bg. Or just never listen us. It’s been 3 years and it’s still a joke. Basically because of the greed for money. Yall made this such a heavy pay to win that you cant fix nothing without large queue times. I would rather get a queue time of 10 min for a fair match then get one shot for a quick queue. Tired of spending just to die. It’s not a complicated fix.
So if the Chinese client is different what do the Oceania players have to deal with when forced to play in an sth East Asian battle group??? What advantages does the Chinese player base have over those playing in Oceania?

Greetings Adventurers,
We wanted to take a moment to give everybody a quick refresher on keeping your account safe, in order to avoid scams, theft, and suspensions.
Sharing your account information with 3rd parties, even ones that you know, is an unsafe practice, and one that leaves you liable for the actions of the 3rd party. Once another player accesses your account, they could turn your new BSJ into gem power for a Trickshot, say goodbye to your favourite familiars, or even commit fraudulent transactions or make use of Bots, Mods and automation software that could result in your account being suspended.
The only person that should play your account is you. You are responsible for the well being and security of your account, and are liable for any actions taken on it.
Using Pilots (hiring others to play your account), or 3rd party resource sellers leaves you open to having your account suspended/banned for their actions, and can result in other actions being taken to rectify the situation as well, such as negative currency for fraudulent purchases.
As a reminder, you can get access to additional inventory/stash space by linking your account to the Blizzard Authenticator. This also adds another layer of security to your account.
Play safe, and see you in hell!
So basically don’t do anything the Chinese players are aloud and encouraged to do gotcha
Our players in China are playing on completely different servers and basically a different game. They are not playing with others in Oceania, or the rest of Asia. There may be some players from China that have downloaded and are playing on the ROW version of the game, but then they are playing with the same version as everybody else. No advantage at all.
