how this will impact races and the economy in the new leagues. Streamers already represent the top % of players in the game, they don't exactly need the advantage of a head start.

Streamers dont give a fuck about the economy. They get what they need just by their popularity...
Racing may be a bitt different, but I dont expect that much impact of the addition (if we'll still have the usual short-term events starting on the strand like before). Or maybe GGG comes up with a total new and fresh environment setting for them: then we all will be "new" to that as it starts, and nobody is in direct advantage from CB knowledge.

And from another view: streamers serve GGG as a very needed part of the advertisement for further popularisation - and they serve US to deliver information and impressions to all that cant be part of the CB right now. (If you want to know, you shouldnt be afraid of spoilers... I prefer to be 'less' surprised "live" in some situations... ;) )

400 invites. thats alot of alpha tester + streamer.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I understood it as "400 initial, (random?) user invites, separate to alpha & streamers...

Forgive me, for I write here, but, why streamers got acces? Who the hell want see them? We here to play, not to see others how play. Streamers are the biggest scammers ever :) Exalteds, mirrors, mirrored items. May I tell a secret? They are not eternals. They are just kids, who have too much time for play, including closed beta, and dirty trades on global chat ;p :)

288 members per day 2016 per weak... so it would be hard to join for the rest of us :/

That moment you see a person with an account created a month ago......get a beta invite....

Its pretty gold mine for streamers - they are streaming exclusive content practically no one cant play. Good job GGG....

Im not watching them, dont want to spoil everything for myself.

I decided NOT to send any money after this patch becouse of this closed beta.

This blows, i am sad how GGG approached all act4 hype, which turned out to be closed beta, where you wont be able to play. First time i do not like GGG move. Hopefully i can get beta within a week. There is also no info what will happen for people without beta access, only 3 days left to current leagues. Kinda strange overal all GGG behavior in general, starts to feel more like old blizzard. Still after all this salt, GGG best company at this day for me, hate and love at the same time!

Invite me omg !!! Act4 need me :~)

gz for those who get in.

would have been so much better if the expansion was released to everyone at the same time.

are you retarded? this isn't a release, it's a beta for testing the expansion which will be released in the future. Most of you just want to get in to fuck around and not give any feedback.
