** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

so now its lifted have they started to un-ban folks ? and have they given a reason(not that they have to) to why the mass ban in ze 1st place ?
 
Still banned here as well, though I'm guessing that we'll be re-enabled in phases like in the alpha and that we were only banned to stop us from accessing the test server while they were working on it.

I enjoyed the Goblin and Worgen starting zones as they were a nice introduction for new players (especially Goblin vehicles) though I thought it was more of the same. Not sure if it'll be interesting enough to level up my two 80s.
 
Was a bit suprised how much was still missing at the end of the Alpha, and its going to be a real challenge for them to make the end of the year. For example, many spells were not working, could only level to 82, only 2 working instances, no raid instances, etc.

My overall impression is that it was enjoyable, but was essentially "more of the same" and I do wonder if there is enough there to keep people interested.

If you're still banned it probably won't be lifted.

There was a blue post on the private forums a while back that said they banned everyone who whined or didn't use the feedback functions properly ie, class rants and so on.

NDA has definitely been lifted.

I'm just shocked it took them to go from alpha to beta to fix the damn class trainers. No I don't want to learn how to knit some damn pants I want to learn to stab people in the face!

Its hard to believe that this many of us fall into that category. I certainly didn't rant or anything. In fact, I provided a lot of solid feedback.
 
WOOO, Beta has started.

And yea, Im still in.

After asking my GM buddy about the bans that had been going about. Its seems like some GMs got all their benifits removed due to the way the F&F Alpha went.
 
Well i'm stuck on on "unable to connect" bnet site still says banned/suspended/locked etc though.

As for the claim we were banned for whining/lack of feedback, i provided plenty of feedback/bug reports and the closest i got to whining was pointing out how much of a mess bear druids were at the moment (a view shared by most of the testers in the discussions....)

Wouldn't entirely mind if they did have a legit reason to ban us but they could at least have the decency to tell us.
 
There's been no replies to the emails I've sent asking why my account was banned so to hell with it, I've cancelled my sub. Cataclysm is at *least* 4 months away from what I saw in the Alpha and I literally have nothing to do in game until it's released.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to enjoy my summer :cool:
 
Whats raiding like in cataclysm? Is it moving more towards the pugging culture? I recently started playing again and every raid was saying GEAR SCORE 5.5K + 10 man ICC... I hate this new addon.. Gear doesnt mean skill =/
The amount of pug raids is also making guilds suffer, even the most well known guilds on my server are having trouble recruiting because people just pug now =/
 
No raids are in the beta yet (or even the full level cap) but with the guild reward stuff and guild reputation they are trying to make guilds mean something again.

Changes to the raid design to make 10 and 25 share lockout and quality (but not quantity) of loot should make it possible to just round up 10 good players and enjoy raiding if that floats your boat.

Well, it'd be a shame if that was the case, and somewhat confusing too. But if so then so be it, it was fun while it lasted. I suppose that the most disappointing thing is that this would mean we won't get to see the Beta either.

Then they can kiss goodbye to my subscription.

It's one thing to remove someone's access to alpha, but to do so and and not inform them as to why it was done, and also to not reply to emails sent from the same people is ridiculous. not to mention posting on forums that banned people have no access to.

I used the feedback tools to provide good natured and concise feedback, if that's not what they want then bugger it.
 
If its really a ban for lack of feedback i have an issue with it, I didnt get an email to tell me i was in and only noticed via the account management site. The day i noticed is the day i started downloading the client, it took me part of that evening and the following morning to patch it... by the time it was ready to login i was banned, at no point could i have actually submitted feedback
