You aren't the only one. :(

I have not had any issues like that on the game so far the only issues that i have seen is for the first couple minutes when i am playing all of the animation are horribly slow (like my computer cannot handle it or something) and then once a few minutes has passed the game will run perfect without issue (turned all the way up)

Maybe it is loading all the required files?

I've not noticed it normally myself, but I've had lag spikes where it became visible - so yeah, could be that. I would be surprised if that also appears when they're fully set up.

The delay was also there with SC2 during the first several months of its release, and it was bad. But nowadays it is pretty much unnoticeable, even with my 1-2mpbs connection. They've been working a lot to improve the server-side of things.

I'm not in the beta either. Oh well.

[firey]

at least I don't feel so alone now :)

[paxa]

firey join the club, i didn't get a beta invite also, still hoping though

[Eli]

Just got my invite as SOON as I opened up this thread (seriously creepy and I know no way connected). A new wave of invites going out today?

[colealtdelete]

Got into the Beta today :)

[2xSilverKnight]

Received the invite an hour ago !!

[Amarok]

[lalalawawawa]

Oh, just go away! :(

Grrrrrrrrr, very angry panda!

Same here. To bad there is not a cd-key or I'd give it away.

[firey]

figures, people interested don't get it, those that aren't do.

That's usually the way it goes! I registered with Blizzard fricking ages ago and no sign of an invite :|

I think this is very likely. The load times for D3 are pretty quick, and I think it's because it loads only the bare necessities immediately. I like it - long load times are a pain, and I can survive starting off a bit slowly - often you'll be in town for a few minutes, sorting yourself out.

Not wishing to rub it in, but I doubt length of time signed up has much effect other than meaning you're around for more waves of invites.Treat it as random luck, there's little point trying to work out *how* they're choosing, because you can't affect that.

No, you haven't been paying for months to get an invite. You've been registered for months for the *chance* to get an invite.

They haven't 'just' announced a delay. They announced a while ago that it wouldn't make Q4 2011, and that they're aiming for Q1 2012. That, afaik, still stands.

Got my invite about the same time you guys did. The most have really opened it up because I NEVER get beta invites.

Read my post again buddy... i said Baying... not Paying...>! :) : verb : Shout loudly, typically to demand something.

It would have been great if Blizzard gave new beta participants a key to invite their friends. They did this with the StarCraft 2 beta so I don't know why they didn't do it this time. I'm guessing it has something to do with people selling beta keys.
