Guess I should’ve added a /s at the end of that post.

Not sure if you knew… but you can just.. not watch it.
Nope, I should have just not thumbed out a reply while glancing at my phone in the bathroom. It’s on me and apologies.

Two things. First, mythic bosses are absolutely going to be available in beta. But also, anyone that’s involved with the Race will have guaranteed access to it, so it doesn’t effect the race whatsoever.

It is.
Do not watch media you do not want to watch.

This is like saying movie trailers ruin every movie if you catch a glimpse of them, so you just don’t want commercials or ads?

Go ahead and read that out loud one more time, real slow.

Well that’s new because I recall previous RWF being an absolute #@$ show because only heroic mechanics had been tested publicly with mythic difficulty explicitly withheld from public testing to avoid tactical advantage.
I suppose that’s a change that makes sense if everyone with a real shot winning RWF has Beta access (I can see hopeful guilds that placed 10th or even lower whining about unfair advantage, but they had no real shot to begin with, imo).
they alway unfinish tww is repeatable era and its common
it weird finish first pull ptr beta but not the beta its self
no need.
i feel like you’re the one who isn’t understanding.
there are more ways into the beta than paying.
“paid access” means everyone would need to pay to access.
that’s simply not the case.

It’s not like that.
It’s like letting movie critics who only care about their own agenda into the editing room of movies that are not released to film half-done stuff with their phones and then allow them to post those videos online.
A movie trailer is a tailored and controlled piece of content, which is what I am suggesting blizzard should be doing. Leaving your marketing up to randos who have their own agenda is bad policy, and the content they put out is not as good as a trailer (or series of trailers) that Blizz could produce.
Make sense?
Of all the branches of the, ‘let’s make up some problems’ on the Make a Problem Tree, this one has by far the most…

This is the weirdest “it’s just beta, guys!” thread I’ve ever seen.
Since ‘ignoring the content’ seems to not be an option, I’ll propose a different context.
The bosses will be tested outside of a contained space, which will help iron out issues, and there will be issues. This will leave a better product by the time it’s officially released.
I don’t think I’d consider it a real advantage, save understanding how the fight is supposed to go which you would learn from one pull, or, failing that, a guide. It could very well be that the fight is completely redesigned outside of beta.
I think you’re really overvaluing this advantage and it’s snowballing to this whole thing.
Why are you watching them then? That’s a self control issue, not a Open Beta issue.
I don’t understand why people keep saying “you don’t have to watch beta content”. Have you not read the thread?
So maybe this is just my opinion by wow “marketing,” is almost a non-existent factor.
People are either getting the next expansion or they’re not. I’d be curious what percentage of players are on the fence right now. And if you are on the fence it probably has more to do with the addon purge and being nervous about Blizz handles that.
Beta content is full of:
“This feature might be cool if Blizz fixes it”
“This might be a placeholder”
“There is obvious more work that needs to be done”
“Hopefully Blizz fixes this before release”
“I don’t know if this is intended..”
Etc.
It’s not a good look. It would be a lot better if the Beta content was well produced class walkthroughs, lore tease videos, zone sneak-peak, etc.
I don’t understand why this is not obvious to other people.
so you don’t want people on beta testing and providing feedback? what?
I don’t understand your take. Beta is for feedback.
