I fear you may have gotten “lawyered”. I notice that, unlike the 3 digital editions, the Collector’s edition doesn’t mention Beta Access as one of the features.
While it does mention feaures “included” in the Epic Edition, Beta access is conspicuously absent.
If you haven’t already, I think you should stir up sh$# in the support forums regardless; because that is devil tier bs right there.
Even if I had access to Beta, I wouldn’t play it. Blizzard would have to pay me to play Beta.
That is about the worst thing they could do if they want to see change. No one who could potentially make any changes visits that particular forum and staff who work there do not pass along feedback.
Posting here, or making an in-game Suggestion is the proper way to get feedback heard and potential changes made.
it is definitely sus ASF that it is missing in the physical CE description. it clearly states you get a epic edition game key but then goes to use lawyerese to describe the “epic edition game content” different than the battle net store description. it does also mention that early access is also another thing that is possibly going to be impacted which is another huge selling point of getting it early in the first place.
Definitely something that should be fixed. Crazy its still an issue.
