I just pre-ordered, is there a chance I will be in the alpha? Or is it way too late?
I've mentioned a couple of times and will reiterate in this thread - we hope that we can overcome some of the technical limitations of our testing platform to remove the 10k limit. Since I don't 100% know that will be the case, we had to announce with the limit to avoid potential disappointment later.
We will certainly make additional announcements if the limit becomes a factor, but everyone that has pre-ordered to this point is certainly "in."
The Homebrew system for Feats isn't live yet (and probably won't be at the point where XGtE is released).
It is likely that when the Feats Homebrew system goes live, that everyone with a Hero or Master tier subscription will gain access to these public homebrew feats, yes.
Think of it as pre-orders of XGtE will be getting these feats ahead of everyone else.
According to BadEye on Twitter, they are aiming for Homebrew Feats to be released on Nov 10.

Pre-order bonuses include: - Expanded Racial Feats: 16 new public homebrew racial feats for races outside the Player's Handbook. - New digital character sheet image backgrounds from the book. - New character portrait frame options from the book. - Alpha access to the D&D Beyond compendium/ reader mobile app release later this year.
YAAAAASSSSSSS!!!
Yass indeed, do you think I’m within the 10k for alpha access?

BadEye has said everyone up to this point has definitely made it in, so very likely.

Agreed, the way they were commenting on it, I think it will be a while before they hit the 10,000 mark. :)

That's a good bit of speculation. The more important thing is I also said we're going to see what we can do about the technical limitation.

Cryptic, as the Xanathar is apt to say, but what do you mean? (in layman non-tech speak for us users)

Don't know about Android, but beta testers on iOS are limited to 10,000 users by default.
Not sure if the video reveal order is set but could we have some previews for the classes that have not had any reveals yet. Like I love every reveal and nothing so far has made me upset (very much far from it). But like instead of more fighter stuff is some other ones.

The video schedule depends on a variety of factors and is ultimately determined jointly with Wizards of the Coast. I'm afraid we have it set now and it is unlikely to change.
Rest assured, all the new subclasses will be covered before it's over.
I'm really excited to see the changes to the Horizon Walker conclave. I have a Genasi Ranger that fits perfectly with that subclass and I'm using the UA stats but my DM is letting me switch once Xanathar's comes out to the official mechanics.
I am the Inquisitor Imperitus. I am judge, jury, and executioner. Draw your last breath now, as I send you to the Nine Hells.
i hope that the kensai keeps the ability to choose long bows, cause i totally want to make the cw version of the green arrow :)
Sorry if this has already been answered but I'm wondering about the other two bonuses for Pre-Ordering:
Expanded Racial Feats*
Digital Character Sheet Customization
Will those show up in my content right after I pre-ordered or will those be released on November 10th along with Xanathar's Guide?
Thanks.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
Great thanks for that info.

I’ve been wondering, the limitation, is that an Alpha issue as a whole, or is that the beta testing limitation on Apple’s side?

Does anyone know by chance is the Shaman class will br making a return this time around?

Seeing how Fighter has 3, which is kind of odd. Maybe Arcane Archer will go to Ranger instead? I know it was fighter in UA, but you never know.
