That is true, I can confirm this.
done. hopefully we get some info soon.
I just got the email like ten minutes ago and the client is available for me to download now through bnet.
Which joke?
I got an authentic email (at least, it came at the same time as the install option) that read:
“Many whelps, handle it [name]!”
I think the downloading part is just taking time to get to all the accounts that are being invited. The emails are much easier to just send out but the activating of everyone’s account takes longer. At least that’s my guess and I’m hoping that’s the case lol. Some people in other posts were saying they just kept refreshing and it finally popped up.
maybe not so much a joke, but a quote from an old onyxia kill video. the raid leader is losing his mind over his raid group not performing the fight correctly.
I saw the option to install ~2 hours before the e-mail arrived, interestingly enough.
My official e-mail was titled
Many Whelps, Handle It Tarc! Join the World of Warcraft Classic Stress Test May 22
and came from
I got the same thing
I got a real e-mail March of 2018 to Beta BFA…It was the real deal…
Yep, exactly the same thing here, minus the actual download part.
Yes, mine read “Many whelps, handle it” and then my name.
Dunno if it’s coincidental timing? Seemed legit, didn’t have anything telling me to go somewhere. Just to check my client.
That is my favorite vanilla video though.
Same here, only I don’t have a Beta/Stress Test option to choose from, and download it. I had the real deal for the BfA Beta Test, and Blizzard was so kind, as in to celebrate my birthday, on January 31, 2018, by putting BfA out for pre-purchase!
Be sure to completely restart Bnet. That is what I had to do for the stress test download option to show up.
Strange. When I got beta in July I didn’t receive an email, I just looked one day and it was there.
I got the email for the stress test around 20 minutes ago, sounds like it is the same one the people who got the download were sent. My guess is that it’s just taking a while for the “permission” to download to be sent out to bnet clients. The email was probably just faster.
This is the TENTH time I’ve relogged in and out of the Blizzard App! Not going to get my hopes up in the least bit…
Guess I will check again before I go to bed and see if it finally has shown up. As long as I get it done before the test actually starts I’m ok lol.
oops mine was for Alpha BFA does it make a difference?.. In any case mine was legit. from March 15th 2018
Doh! I am sorry. Maybe I was just lucky. I just know it didn’t show up until I completely closed out of Bnet then reopened it.
For what it is worth, I keep my bnet on all day and it just showed up. I never restarted anything. They are probably just rolling them out slowly but surely.
I received the stress invit. First I downloaded it, then later I received the email.
