Things like better UI, improved animations, visual enhancements etc are most likely going to be in for launch, but then thats something you'd expect.
WORRY NOT SILLY MON'KEIGHS, I HAVE FORESEEN THE SUCCESS OF THIS GAME LONG AGO let's pray Tzeentch is not toying with me
Actually, it's exactly a month before Battlefield 1 comes out. So I bet that their plan is to get as many players as they can during that time gap, because well, nothing is gonna compete with them during that whole month. EC doesn't have many choices here. They either launch (or enter open beta phase) within September or wait till at least February next year, it seems they chose the former. Because no one in their right mind would launch in December and January. And launching in October and November is pretty much like jumping off the bridge. Of course, just like No Man's Sky and Arkham Knight. But wait, they don't have France at release, right? I take that back, it's not like No Man's Sky and Arkham Knight.
One of the rules of Alpha games is really not to get hyped over promises. That's what's the best idea becuase you'll have not as much to whine about when the game turns out either way. Also No man's sky had WAAAY bigger "False promises" than EC. Multiplayer, false gameplay trailers, It looks like half life 1 too ffs in terms of graphics!
yes was tornadium. But also all the ~40k founders was allowed to get a 100% no question refound. The refound rule have changed with steam involvement.
