(PSA) Don't forget the reason for the Beta!

So while everyone is excited to play Overwatch, don't forget the reason behind it! The reason for having a massive waves for a weekend invite is to stress-test the servers. So, any techncial information, especially system latency is very important! Make sure to write up your system specs, and track what is going on. Even if everything goes smoothly for you, that's still valuable data!

Personally, I have a notepad file ready to go so that after every game I can record notes about it. I plan to submit technical details of every match at the end of the beta weekend.

Enjoy your beta everyone!

Edit: For those of you asking, here's the template for the feedback I am planning to provide.

System Specs: Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 CPU 930 @2.80GHz (8CPUs), ~2.8GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU Memory: 6084 MB

In-game settings:

Installation/download speed. On a 50Mb/s connection, downloaded the game (Consistently? Spikes? Drops?) at ...

Menu Game 1: had a small spike during a tracer blink, otherwise game was smooth. Game 2: Most of the game experienced latency problems. Game 3: Smooth game, no faults ...

(note, i have not yet tested overwatch. Game results above are inaccurate and falsified)
