I got flagged for the beta weekend. I'm sorry to confirm that I did not do a digital PC preorder. I did do a physical preorder (PS4) at EB games Canada which Blizzard would not know about.

So, is there still the excel sheet with GAF members floating around?
 
any europeans flagged yet?
edit: read through the pages now, and yeah some europeans got flagged


cant i just be a little lucky just sometime
 
My heart literally felt like it jumped when I saw the 'Install' button under Overwatch in the Battle.net launcher. Whole attitude turn around. Keeping my spirits up in hopes that everyone else who wants to try it gets in!
 
Hopefully they're still sending out invites. I'm not in, and I hope everyone else posting here gets in as well.

But I do wonder though- no one's confirmed that they got in and had already digitally preordered. I digitally preordered the Origins Edition a bit after it was available. I could see a situation where Blizzard is using this as a marketing tactic to get the largest number of preorders they can, but that's total speculation.
 
Not flagged (yet?) :(. Are they letting people from Europe in as well?

Crispin Freeman is best when playing anti-villains. I have no clue why he voices winston.

I can only offer my guess as a student and an avid listener of his podcast, but I'd say it's because he has a very polished, low baritone voice. The kind of voice a noble, educated, not-to-be-messed-around kind of man would have. Someone who's not "old" yet, but has had enough experience with life. Which Winston, as a scientist gorilla, seems to be. The only characters that I see as a natural fit for Crispin are him and possibly Reaper. But Reaper is a bit too edgy for him I feel, not refined enough. Or maybe Hanzo if he can do a good Japanese accent.
 
Wooo Hooooo just got in!
Got in as well. Will give it a try.
EDIT - I;M FUCKING IN!!!!!!!!! HYPEEEEEEEEEEEE

Just casually checked the Overwatch tab in my B.Net launcher to see a big Install button, which I guess means that I'm in for the weekend!
IN!
No preorder
US
Had launcher open, literally changed to big blue "Install" button.

Good luck to all and look forward to playing with you all tomorrow!
Looks like I'm in too.

I guess i see this too. Does everyone have access like this? i didn't receive any emails. But will try it anyways. Will update in a few mins. Almost done downloading.
Congrats my brother. <3
 
I've never ever been invited to a Blizzard beta man. I don't know why my luck is so incredibly shitty when it gets to these things.
 
I'm hoping some people who digitally preorder got flagged. It would really leave a sour taste knowing Blizzard didn't at least make the invites fair across the board and having this be a marketing push for preorders.
 
Just checked on my battle.net account management page and I had the beta listed. I just started my download/install through my battle.net client. I haven't pre-ordered and I did not receive any sort of alert email.

Quick edit. This is the first Blizzard beta I've gotten in via the opt-in
 
HOLY SHIT! I just saw this thread pop up and just checked my accounts and I got in!(no email) I didn't pre-order on any of them btw. Damn Battlefront, COD:BO3 double XP weekend, and now Overwatch. MP overload.

GL to the rest still waiting.
