Have they confirmed that it will be cosmetic only DLC? And that by cosmetic only you won't only get a new weapon/armour that looks different but breaks everything else that's not paid for in the process?

They have, to the first question. No details on how it actually works. Skins for existing items? Items that replace the look of other items?

Though it would be weird if they gave up on Creation Club (paid, not necessarily cosmetic items), and weird if they didn't but had two separate premium currencies (the currently used credits, and F76's Atoms).

Microtransactions didn't come to TF2 until after it went F2P, iirc.

In case it was unclear, I'm asking about their commitment to free non-cosmetic dlc. And what that implies about CC, sir.

Bethesda is currently hosting a press and media event where they're allowing players to record footage, which will be available to watch as early as this week. Pete Hines said to expect hundreds of hours of footage (!)

In beta news, the beta will be playable for 4 to 8 hours a day.

Red Flag here, guys. When devs do this, is because they want to show only a slice of the game. Hide something they think you will find if you can freely explore their game.

The beta will be available October 30th at 12:01am to 4am and 10pm to 6am daily. Times same across all time zones.

I should see if I can return it since I preordered for the beta early access.

Those overlap, no?

Weird hours, unless by "same time" you mean simultaneously everywhere.

I forget which thread this is. I was making a joke about how Bethesda would make the game available for 4-8 hours at the least convenient times for people.

Lol bethesda's servers are gonna burn down the building they are stored in when all the people who preordered to play get on at the same time. Lol

All to smooth out the launch for the 10% who didn't preorder for early access.

Edit: I'm still laughing at this.

You should check out the Dungeons and Dragons 5E thread. This thread is a positivity factory compared to that pit of misery.

I'm just looking forward to what comes from these up coming "hands-on" events. I hate being in the dark about the basic systems, trying to piece together developer tweets and interview blurbs to come up with wild speculations.

MATN's should be good.

Although, I'm guessing a controlled environment featuring personalities intent on making entertaining videos might not be representative of the average user's online experience—which is the key test.
