The Echoes beta is fun but..

[DeadlyKitten]

It does give the feeling of being empty and barren.
Not cause of the content but cause of the lack of players roaming around and interacting.
I guess that's the permanent remnants of the multiplayer that will linger in the release.
Enjoying the changes quite a lot, but it feels lonely.

I hope they will add some more NPC's in the future.

You must own the game

Then use beta code: returnofthereaverking
You'll have to google where to enter it. The code might be in all caps, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, it feels lonely. The classes are also quite simple in a MOBA way, I feel like if we had an AI that utilizes one of our unlocked Wayfinders it would be more engaging to explore and dungeon dive as a duo. I'd be more inclined to build up multiple at a time also.

I mean, you can swap weapons and wayfinders at will now (even in combat), to me it does expand gameplay options. If I took too much damage, I can swap to heal wingrave and get my health back, or drop his ult and swap back to a dps built Wayfinder. Drop a decoy as Silo, then swipe them as Kyros, things like that. Boss does an annoying pattern that forces you to run away? Just take your gun and shoot him for the time being.
We have few more things to do, but I agree that combat is a bit simplistic, not enough abilities to use if you are playing just one wayfinder.

Of course it feels empty and barren. It's a slapdash offline mode for a failed MMO, which itself felt empty and barren to begin with.

Of course it does. Its a single player RPG now (with optional co-op).

And lets be real. It never felt alive before. This new model is what it should have been from the start.

I agree completely. Its a much better game, now.

They just announced today they're looking into matchmaking/servers so that's hype. Hopefully that will help!

Is the Beta over? I just updated the game and no longer have access to it.

Yeah it ended today, but the game will be back on the 31st so not much downtime
