I know that the matter is pretty much settled in this thread, but I wanted to drop a note here anyway to confirm that yes, the email is real. The Arcade update is pretty unique, and we opted to take an unconventional approach to testing it - one that we’re very unlikely to utilize again in the future. I am glad to note that you guys were cautious about the link though - while this one is legitimate, it’s always a good idea to make sure that you’re not dealing with a phishing attempt of some sort.
After the mod makers have a chance to tool around in there, the wider community will get a chance to experiment with the new interface, play those games, and see what the Arcade is all about in the relatively near future. In reference to the videos and screenshots that are getting passed around, I also want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we’re looking at an alpha build of this project. So, it’s unfinished and should be viewed in that light. As a side note: for those who are checking out the alpha and want to publish a map, don't forget to delete the “Battle.net” folder from C:\ProgramData, if you've got one. It can cause publishing issues in some cases. |

Also isn't the battle.net folding in programdata have diablo 3 information in it? (i bought the digital version) |

http://us.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/sc2-beta-installers/[censored]/StarCraft-II-Beta-enUS-Setup.exe
One look at the URL and you can see its not from a real blizzard site. edit: guess its legit, however based upon that URL I wouldnt click it on a windows machine :P |
Will there be a beta available to everyone in the near future? Im always looking up constantly for information on Heart of the Swarm. |
