I’d assume its still just streamers/ friends/ family & influencers, such as game journalists that still will for the vast majority have access still… very few lucky old accounts will be in likely. Good marketing before release though.
Imagine having a closed beta less than two weeks from the launch of the game. I bet that stress test isn’t fixing anything, Herod is going to go down fast come launch. GG Blizz
Because they are afraid that everyone will treat it like early access, complain something is broken and leave. Also when you open testing to everyone you get a lot of white noise essentially with 100s of duplicate reports coming in when only 5 are really needed. Its in everyone’s best interest that this beta stays closed.
So…being transparent here. Things not going as well or what? Just seems odd, had concerns if the game was ready or not on the stress test before the last one. I hope they devs are like finished, can’t imagine the amount of crunch time that will have to be done in 2 weeks otherwise.
