You mentioned that we will DL the Beta Client and then sign in with our existing info....
Does this mean all our stuff we have as well as characters will also be accessible for us to use in the testing as well as everything in our stash?
Should have read the whole thing. The answers are all there. No you dont get anything from your existing stash and chars.

I would like to see some statistics from the closed beta, as same you do after races (most used class, skills, keystones, jewels)

old 2012 closed beta testers should get an automatic key too if they signed up for new beta, not just alpha testers and streamers imho.
also not sure about the focus in player progress. Most important thing of an ARPG is the lategame and there should be the focus in balancing and testing.
who cares about normal and cruel... that much? Everybody just wants to rush through it asap to get to maps...
Thats your opinion. I like the lvling process or i wouldnt have 43 builds over 2 accounts. And you really want everything before maps to be unbalanced and untested then? Gotta be kidding. They gotta test the new content from the first lvl onwards, its the only way to make sure everything works correctly.

It's not about an early access. It's about how GGG handled things. They've been pumping up the player base for months now. They made sure everyone was hyped for the expansion. And instead of an expansion we got a ridiculous timer to a closed beta. I have absolutely no intention in playing in the closed beta, but I believe GGG handled the player in the most unprofessional way possible. Instead of launching a marketing campaign, teasing the players and getting everyone on the hype train they should have come forward and admit "ok guys, we said act 4 is gonna be launched in April, but we fell behind the schedule and need to launch a closed beta for some time to make sure act 4 is gonna be as amazing as you want it to be". I bet there would be far less negativity on the forums. I guess they simply got in over their heads with the netcode and a general revamp. And I understand it, it's a tonload of work and they're working hard to release what they believe is going to be a finished product. Just don't run the hype train if you know you can't provide yet.
We do get the expansion anyways, so the hype is justified. Are you saying there should be no hype? or they should hype it a few days after beta? Because im sure shortly after the beta the expansion rolls out.

Can I sign up with multiple accounts to increase my chances of getting in?
No. Additional accounts will not be eligible. People trying to game the system will be removed. It's fine for multiple people in the same household to sign up as long as they are different people and have only one account each.
I think GGG is doing a great job... the upper part of the faq still made me giggle though, lol :D

"I'm a popular Streamer. Can I get access?
Possibly."
Err. wha--? How about no? Much love to all the streamers out there but that sounds fucked up. Its either an equal chance for everybody or its not. Cant have it both ways at the same time cuz... well cuz... thats what she said. There.

They never said the expansion was going to launch in april. They said the marketing will begin in april. According to previous expansions schedules, that would have given us the expansion and act 4 mid-late may. Because of this beta we are getting it mid-late june, which is fair considering how massive this expansion is. The timer is a terrible mistake in my opinion (since it's not the game but a test, no need to pump things up), but people should really take it for what is is : A TEST. All I see over here is people that consider it as an early access to the game, when it is not. Questions like "will I unlock achievements" or "do I haz my shit over there" are beyond my understanding of what a beta test is.
