The War Within Beta Test Now Live!

All you have to do is upgrade to epicness and be super awesome and gain access like a pro!

Honest question, since this will be my first real beta. It says that to get into the beta, you have to download the version from the desktop app. Will the download option not be available until the day of? Or will we be able to download it in advance, like updates usually are, and begin playing on the 5th?

If you have epic edition or opted in the invite to download will show up in your email and then fromt here you download it and good to go.

Well, I just found out 2 days ago that I have covid. So I guess I’ll have time to give this a try.

On July 4 your spouse get there independence and half of everything you own in the divorce case . :scream:

It says we should get it 3 days earlier…so today…but no email about it yet.

Again, the epic edition states beta access and three days early access, the 3 days early access that was brought up from day one with the pre orders in in reference to actual launch which is still a bit out. So again the 3 days is in reference to the actual launch.

From Blue " Epic Edition of TWW will gain immediate access to beta and will be able to gain a min of three day early acces to the expansion(meaning launch)

You won’t see beta until the 5th.

To be fair I do see how it can be taken by the way they put out the post that it could be taken as 3 days early accesss to beta .If it had been the case then people would have seen beta yesterday. But as mentioned the 3 only means we get in to actual game 3 days ahead of others.

We never made it to the marriage part, thankfully.

Ok, you know where you can switch between versions of wow. Like if you were switching to the ptr or classic. It basically just appears there, and you can download it when it appears. It should appear on the same day as launch.

The three-day early access to tww is something different. So, on the 5th you should see it appear in battle.net where the ptr usually is.

inb4 beta server is down for maintenance all day wednesday and doesn’t become playable until thursday.

Fantastic!! I always look at the Beta as a “soft launch” of the next expansion. I can’t wait to see what Blizzard has in store for The War Within! :dizzy: :sparkles: :dizzy:

What TIME on June 5 will beta access to TWW be granted to Epic Edition buyers?
Like will it just be midnight-UTC? Or will it be rolled out sequentially over each time zone?

There is NO set time. It should be available sometime tomorrow. There is NEVER a set time for Beta’s.

I never received the invite by email or even see the War with in above the play button to install… YES I do have the Epic version of the game.

Ladies and Gentlemen tomorrow everything changes. Everything you think you thought you knew ends here. Tomorrow Warcrafts story becomes greater than anything we’ve faced in 20 years.

And you could say you were here when it all started, in the beta.

It’s time hero to join in for one last great adventure.

The email almost always comes late, you should just watch your launcher. Perhaps make sure it’s updated tomorrow.

So how does that guaranteed Beta access work with the Collector’s Edition (CE) which is supposed to come with the Epic Edition since CE’s have not been sent out yet? Just saying someone on the Blizzard side of things should have looked at that before saying that the CE comes with “the entire” Epic Edition, when clearly it won’t have the “guaranteed” beta access.

Because you don’t officially own the CE until you receive it and enter the key. They don’t ship until shortly before TWW launches.

The phyiscal instead of digital key for CE thing is something they have desperately needed to update for at least 3 expansions now. They have my money and a digital receipt of payment just like those people who bought the digital editions, they could easily fix the problem and add those names to beta access they are just being lazy on the details end… kinda reminds me of the attention to detail laziness mentioned in the Goblin story they published earlier today actually LOL!

I agree completely. As soon as your payment is processed they should apply the key to the account of your choice.
