Great to see a good civil discussion here.

Time will tell for Icarus' success, but one thing we do know, we've got a pretty kick-a$$ community. We're very lucky.

While there is no specific PvP features, there is friendly fire. We have not promoted that sort of play between friends, but I am expecting players to find ways of gamifying it anyhow.

I am excited to play. HOWEVER, let me toss in one thing that bugs me: "This means that each Beta Weekend will span across a period of three days" which is technically 2 full days & a handful of hours sends a message to the people predisposed to writing attack blogs that you're already trying to manipulate perception. I wouldn't have even included that sentence.

The word "span" means the full of extent of something. And "across" means from one end to the other. Neither of these words means "cover 74% of three days."

"Span across a period of three days" is exactly what we meant to say. Weekends are usually only two days, this sentence helps us explain it is a little bit longer. There is no "manipulation tactic" as the times for the beta weekends have been set very clearly for all to see.

To fix this, would you prefer I said spread across? There are many words I can change it to, but I think this argument is very silly.

Hey there!

We have had in-studio discussions around renaming it "supporters" pack, yes. No definitive answer there just yet.

We acknowledge we should have added more value to the "deluxe" edition originally. Hopefully we come to a consensus soon on whether we will implement such changes.

In the mean time, thanks for your pre-order! Only one week until the beta, let us know what you think once you start playing!

Right!

From launch, you can access our "server browser" and join any games that prospectors have open (unless their capacity is full).

I hope this answers your question! And don't worry about your english :)

So you’ve got Icarus on pre-order? Here’s what you need to know!
Everyone who has pre-ordered Icarus on Steam will gain access to our Beta Weekends!

The Icarus Beta app will appear in your Steam Library for you to download once the first weekend goes live.

Which timezone are the Beta Weekends being based in?
Pacific Daylight Time (US) 5pm Fridays through to 10pm Sundays This means that each Beta Weekend will span across a period of three days. We wish to reach and accommodate as many time zones as possible! If you try to play Icarus outside these times, you’ll see a message explaining that our servers are switched off - in which case, wait and come back for the next scheduled Beta Weekend.

For real-time updates and when you can play, please follow our Twitter ... Read more

In order to play Icarus, either alone or with your friends, you all need to have bought the base game.

You're welcome!
