How did Soda and Asmon get in the Stress Test

When the rest of us couldn’t. I only saw a splash screen. They are already in the beta. How did they both miraculously get to log in the stress test when the rest of us got hosed by logouts and throttles.

Blizz couldn’t even give us level 5 for 24 hours. Asmon and Soda get to though.

This is seriously BS. I don’t mind the streamers. I’m subbed to Soda. How are they on though. They have Beta. Why are we throttled. It’s 5 levels. 24 hours. Throw us a GD bone Blizz.

I saw the same thing, his excuse isn’t true, he’s actually a terrible player …

Because this wasn’t really a stress test. Notice we are supposed to continue using the server after the test but they are down. What chance do you figure that they will even come back up in the next 24 hours? This was such a boondoggle.

I think its back?

Not for me. Meanwhile, Soda and Asmon are streaming along. It’s down for me.

the fact there were already countless random players and fans logged in before them… tells you that streamer privilege doesnt exist… otherwise asmond and sodapoppin would have logged in and been in a ghost town while their friends/fans would have followed last… plus we got to watch both of their struggles to even get in int he first place… alot of DCs, timeouts, and issues just trying to connect to the realm and create a character… so much so that by the time Asmondgold got to create a character, his name was taken, hence why he had to make a character named Asmondgoldxd and sodapoppin created a character who’s name was just a bunch of random letters asldekjsdkl because his names were taken already.

So this should tell you just how naive you really are in regards to streamers getting priority access to the stress test, when there were countless players who got in and stole their names long before they got in.

Each time I’ve made a character, but then it always says timed out.

They cater to streamers, the rest of us don’t matter. Feels bad. I went from excited to hop into a character on the stress test to realizing that I’ll be stuck at character creation for the stress test. I guess at the end of the day, it is what it is. On the bright side, all of the stress testers (non beta folk) got to stress test the login screen lol

Oh hey, the test servers are back up for the streamers. Surprise, surprise. Not the stress testers, of course, but then we don’t count.

I was watching Asmond, Soda and Esfand. I was disappointed I couldn’t get in but still optimistic about the next 24hrs, then came out the tin foil hat. I had to mute twitch, that was too much

Statistically, there should be no reason Soda and Asmon should be both on when the rest of us can’t even make a character.
