Agreed. The final product baseline isn’t even shown and there’s already a thread dedicated to speculating/dreaming on the DLCs. People can speculate for the best and also have the right to speculate for the worst. Personally, I was expecting release copies to be sent to professionals reviewers or just pre-release interviews if no copies available before the release and DLC talks after but it seems that it’s not the case right now. 2019 had too much disappointments with games sending bugged barebones coupled with DLCs patches for me to say “oh, this time, it’s different I can feel it”. No, too much disappointments: Nothing to show to game sites (even in talks), nothing will be there. I’m expecting a rerun of UFO: Aftermath with all the hype and fall that came with.
To be fair, I haven’t even bought the game so I’m not sure I qualify as a fully paid up ‘cultist’ 
Was it a backers reward?, heh.
I also rarely frequent these forums. My comments were merely based on the past 10 years or so of increasingly dodgy DLC, micro-transaction, loot based business models.
As I described before, I’ve seen what I consider to be awful DLC practices but also some that seem completely above board 
Imho, Snapshot falls into the latter group.
I’m fine with your decision and I understand completely the desire to want to play the game ‘with everything possible in it’, the definitive version, as it were. I myself am wondering whether to hold on to purchase later.
However, I replied because there’s a difference between wanting that and accusing a company of shadiness/holding back the full product. You have, after all, expressed things like, ‘game is being shipped out incomplete’, ‘it’s feeling like a rip off’, ‘the feeling of being swindled’, ‘shenanigans are ruining it for me’.
I’m not fussed or angry, simply stating where the ethics of Snapshot sit in the overall scheme of the games business as far as I can tell. When a company misbehaves, I’m always ready to criticise and cry foul, even if I used to like them; Creative Assembly for example. I’m just not seeing it here, for whatever little that’s worth.
Anyway, like I said, I’m not having a go at you or anything I just think it’s important to criticise companies when there is something really obvious going on or else it gives ammo to people who accuse gamers of being entitled and what-not.
Good Morning!
I know this probably have been aswered with other words but just to make sure i’m not getting confused with english and all:
Will people who pre-purchased via EPIC store (i.e. 3 weeks ago) be able to play from today? or wait till deceber?
If the wait, whas there any benefit in pre-purchasing via EPIC store?
(sorry for probably repeating a question)
TYVM
The game will be available to play from December 3rd. The only people who can play now are those who bought an early access edition.
The only thing changing today is you will no longer be able to buy early access.
Thank you for the rapid response.
The original post had me confused:
“While you can pre-order the retail editions on the Epic Games Store or on buy.phoenixpoint.info after that date, you will not be able to get early access to Backer Build 5 after that point.”
and
“On November 8, 2019, pre-orders via the Epic Games Store and buy.phoenixpoint.info will go live.”
Gave the impression that pre-purchasing on EPIC would not give acess to backers build up untill nov 8 but from that day on would be able to play pre-release via epic launcher.
Early access have never been available with the Base Edition that was available on the Epic Games Store.
Perfectly correct.
I got caught up dealing with english/hype/price conversions into thrird world contry currency (witch hurts more than the 30 days waiting)
Thank you again 
Hi,
I also bought the Phoenix Point Luxury Digital Edition.
So far I didnt notice any special ingame items in my inventory or such!?
How does one even check which version is in your libary on epic games store!? It’s so misleading.
Do I need to contact support for getting the correct version?
If so, which one? Epic or Phoenix Point!?
The Alien Weapons and Armour DLC items are locked behind some research in the game. If you have it enabled on the new game screen, they’ll be in the game.
A weird quirk of how the authentication works means that launching from the folder means it cannot authenticate whether you have it or not, but if the save file started with it enabled it’ll continue on with it enabled. If you launch from the EGS it can make the check so it always shows up in the new game options.
All the other items from the higher tiers are in the Phoenix Point Content option on the EGS and get installed to the Phoenix Point Content folder at C:\Program Files\Phoenix Point Content by default. So that’ll be your manual, your wallpaper, your soundtrack, etc
Hope this clears things up
Where do you see whether or no Living Weapons, etc are enabled on the new game screen? I’d swear I’d seen it (once), day of launch, but I later ran the game from folder, had all sorts of problems, crashed, and had to reinstall. Don’t recall seeing it since. 
And I’m looking at it being installed in three different folders, plus another one for the old backer build. Is it in a folder I can hunt for?
Only 7 hours into my current game play, not far enough to find it via missions.
Never mind, I was being lazy. Just launched the game again, selected “New Game”, and sure enough - right hand side, “living weapons” is enabled in the DLC.
Please disregard my comment above. Now all I need to do is fix my directories. Maybe I’ll delete it all and start over from fresh.
