    It seems you don't know what a beta is.

    Oh I do.

    It's impossible to test anything. Why waste my time?

    Blizzard isn't known for quick fixes against exploiters. Please see anything WoW related.

    But... What? Yeah, fuck looking for bugs, because I can't win because of a bug.

    Yup, nothing wrong with that logic, no sir

    There is something wrong with that logic when you can't play the game beyond 1:30 where you die.

    Testing the same bug over and over again isn't testing.

    Alright, so previously i was using my brothers account, but i just got my own key from the preorder. I've activated it and can see it in my account.

    But for some reason when I try and log in with my account, it says battle.net is down, but my brothers account can log in no problem.

    What is going on here?

    Exit the game and try again. Repeat until it lets you in almost instantly.
    I get this problem as well; not sure what the deal is. After a few attempts I can always log in, though.

    Yeah I've tired like 20 times.

    Were you guys using a previous account on the PC? I was wondering if I need to reinstall.

    I remember in the Frozen Throne beta there was a bug that made books pickups infinite. It made the ladder nothing but unplayable cheese and was active for at least a week.

    And then their were Mountain Giants which were OP the majority of the beta until they were finally nerfed right before release.

    Stuff like that maybe me realize that beta tests aren't just early demos.

    This (page 76) was the BEST page to read. I can't stop laughing :)

    ANYWAY.

    First go at sc2, I place copper in 1v1 and copper in 2v2.
    Resets
    I placed bronze 1v1 and bronze 2v2
    Resets
    I place silver 1v1 and plat 2v2 (although my 2v2 reset a bonus time for some reason).

    Progress!

    Remember the Bat Rider patches? Hey SC2 beta thread, imagine a patch where mutalisks were buffed to the point that mutalisks countered marines. And thors. and Stalkers. and Sentries.

    Those were a fun few weeks. Blademasters with infinity agility were pretty hilarious too.

    SC1 beta. Vulture mines attacked buildings and didn't have to first burrow before attacking. There was also no delay in the mine movement.

    I missed the SC1 beta but I remember stories about vultures doing drive-bys with mines and just destroying everything.
