Having an email hit before beta is applied to an account is a recipe for disaster. So many people dont realise they have beta access because they dont check the game drop down on the launcher.
I’ve had that happen to all my beta invites so I always check first thing when I hear the beta has opened.
They are not getting a second invite. People in Alpha are automatically in Beta. Alpha is REALLY a tiny test group. Everything just rolls into Beta and invite waves keep going out to folks who opted in.
They may or may not do promotions at some point that give away Beta access via Wowhead, media, streams, etc. That tends to be a bit later in the Beta cycle.
No. There’s a post about it right here in General Discussion with a link to the opt-in page. After you’ve opted-in, it’s luck of the draw. You may not get invited.
I never check my emails for that stuff. Just opt in and check if your account is flagged for alpha/beta. Update your browser for account status checks. Same thing happened with overwatch beta.
Oh you’re right. It’ll be cool to play around with the dragon customizations. I haven’t bought the xpac yet but I’ll think about it if it’s really good.
