My contact lets me know. :)

In short, this is how the process goes. WoWInterface asks for your Battle.Net email so they can add it to the list of accounts to submit to Blizzard. Blizzard, on their own time and at their discretion, flags the accounts for beta access.

What SDPhantom said. :)

I'm a little confused. Does this mean that there's a chance that some of those submissions will not get an invite?

Short answer, yes. It's a very small chance unless you try to sign up within the last couple months before launch. Blizzard just wants to cover their tails in case someone that applies doesn't meet their requirements or people attempt to join when they're trying to wrap things up.

If you're talking about the first batch of 50 people, I don't think they'll ignore that list.

Cairenn 02-22-16 07:18 PM

Petrah is just being a pest. :p After us doing this for 10 years now, she knows how it works. :)

SDPhantom 02-22-16 09:56 PM

Though this is the second time they used this specific process. :rolleyes:
They used to give you a list of keys to hand out. I guess too many people got extras and gave them to friends.

the end up on the black market they can sell for a ton.

zork 02-23-16 05:48 AM

All I just read was "Petrah is the best". ;)

liquidbase 02-23-16 12:04 PM

As I can say, my account was flagged for Legion a week later after Cairenn has send the first batch to Blizzard. Looks like Blizzard decide randomly.
Currently I can play the alpha / beta of Legion and at the moment I check the changes to the UI-Code. Unfortunately, at present there is the interface code does not export because the console does not open. Should this change with the next builds I will also upload according to the current snapshot, so that all have access to it.

Nevcairiel 02-23-16 12:45 PM

Maybe you got selected for a random invite, no one else here seems to have gotten anything yet.

Actually I'm not. Being in my 50's my memory isn't as good as it use to be. I find myself with dozens of post-it-notes all over the place.

Cairenn 02-23-16 07:41 PM

Bah! :p *hugs Petrah*

You're good, your name is on the list. All I meant was that they didn't invite any during *that particular* round, but hopefully people will get in during the next one. :)

Taraezor 02-24-16 04:07 AM

I was in the Second Tranche. Woooooo!

I've already begun rewriting an AddOn or two!

I'm right with ya there.

Miiru 02-24-16 01:00 PM

I hope paying with token counts as active account ;)

SDPhantom 02-24-16 02:41 PM

I think it does, as long as you have game time on your account, it should be good.
In the past, this was a loose requirement. My account was inactive when I got into the Cataclysm beta.

Who are you again?




:p

Yafis 02-25-16 07:07 AM

invite haven't given me though I was 8 in the list :(

Fizzlemizz 02-25-16 11:54 AM

I don't think Blizzard has gotten around to processing the list(s) so anyone on it that has gotten an invite has just bee lucky.

prof17 03-01-16 02:31 PM

Do you know when will the next batch be sent?

SDPhantom 03-01-16 03:00 PM

Soon™? 10 char minimum.

Tim 03-01-16 03:59 PM

Yes, everyone is eager to get their hands on some Legion to do some testing and addon development but, come on people you need to be patient. Every expansion the great staff gets keys and people eventually get in. Continuously asking when is not going to speed up the process. Two batches of emails have been sent out and thus it's up to Blizzard when they add your name to the list if at all.

Cairenn 03-04-16 03:41 PM

Tracking numbers 107 - 126 submitted, 04 Mar 2016

prof17 03-04-16 03:51 PM

Now only waiting for the invite remains...

MunkDev 03-04-16 04:16 PM

Relatable.

SDPhantom 03-04-16 05:20 PM

I was excited when I managed to be second in line at this giveaway, but now it's a moot point. Still waiting to get flagged. :rolleyes:

Nevcairiel 03-07-16 02:36 AM

I felt the same way with having ID 3, but maybe this week is the lucky one!

Fizzlemizz 03-07-16 10:33 AM

If we're flagged for invites "when addons are enablef" and Blizzard are still calling it alpha, I wouldn't hold my breath.

The post I responded to was removed by the user. I was just explaining that if people in the first batch haven't been flagged yet, don't expect it to happen soon.

Resike 03-08-16 06:10 PM

It's weird, i got into every alpha game released by Blizzard up to date. But not into Legion yet, so fingers crossed. :)

GHC 03-13-16 01:48 PM

got id 128 last week but it wasn't submitted this weekend?

Cairenn 03-13-16 01:51 PM

As previously stated, I'm submitting the lists every second Friday, not weekly.

oh sry, i think i didn't read that post. thank you for the quick reply.

Dejablue 03-18-16 12:45 PM

Have they been flagging accounts? Been a couple of weeks, I am 124. Cheers!

EDIT: Ah looks like they are still in alpha with addons turned off.

Cheers!

Cairenn 03-18-16 01:55 PM

Tracking numbers 127 - 136 submitted, 18 Mar 2016

Yeah, at this point i think they're just holding off on adding anyone from these batches until beta starts or addons get enabled or any sort of combination of those.

SDPhantom 03-29-16 08:48 PM

I just got my invite to "alpha". I'm not sure if this is a lucky occurrence from their beta opt-in program or if they're starting to let addon authors in.

Gello 03-29-16 09:58 PM

No invite here yet so probably a random invite.

Or they got really tired of my feedback from previous betas and I'm on a "special" list. :p Gratz on getting in!

But I imagine we're pretty close.

Fizzlemizz 03-30-16 12:25 AM

I guess the test is if addons are truly enabled. Either way, enjoy.

SDPhantom 03-30-16 12:47 PM

It keeps popping up with "Insecure" in the addon list as to why it isn't loading anything. I guess that means they still have them turned off.

I'm tracking number 40 and didn't receive invite so I believe your invite it's just random

I was #2, so I wasn't surprised if I was one of the first in, but good to know either way.
I think the first submission was 50 of us.

Ketho 03-31-16 02:47 PM

Maybe Blizzard will give us beta invites just on April Fools day so we will never be sure if we get to keep it ;)

It would be awesome AND horrible at the same time.

Yafis 04-01-16 11:16 AM

I was #8, have not sent :(

Cairenn 04-01-16 01:06 PM

Tracking numbers 137 - 154 submitted, 01 Apr 2016 (not an April Fool's joke, actually submitted :p)

bit late spotting this, but signed up!

cause its still alpha, this are beta invites.
So you have to wait until the right closed beta has started.

Dejablue 04-18-16 05:27 PM

I was 124 got into Alpha today. It appeared on the launcher. On your account page it appears as another PTR account, in my case [WoW4] .

Cheers!

Thank you WoW Interface :) <3

Probably just a random invite, though. But have fun nonetheless!

zork 04-19-16 01:06 AM

Maybe the first emails got eaten by Godzilla?!

gOOvER 04-19-16 09:31 AM

Will be 155 - *** also submitted or did you stop submittion to Blizzard?? When i see, you submit every 14 Days roundabout :)

Nevcairiel 04-19-16 10:43 AM

So far the chance of getting access here seems to be what, 2 or 3 out of ~150, so 3-4% chance?
Not a contest, right :p

SDPhantom 04-19-16 01:33 PM

At this point I don't know if they're cherry-picking people from the lists sent or if the invites that have been given out are from the beta opt-in on the BNet account page.

gOOvER 04-19-16 01:47 PM

I do not know what Caireen negotiated; maybe or maybe not......

Gello 04-19-16 02:46 PM

Addons are not enabled on the alpha yet so they're not yet adding the authors that Cairenn submitted (and I'm certain they'll continue to be submitted throughout the beta).

It will probably happen when they switch from alpha to beta.

SDPhantom 04-19-16 03:47 PM

That would be the reason why most of the submissions haven't been given invites yet. There's no reason why they couldn't be letting a few of us in early for reasons already stated. I'd like to think my knowledge of the way their UI code works have helped many people on the forums and even given suggestions on what Blizzard should do to implement fixes to errors in the default UI.
