It'd be pretty funny if nobody bought the deluxe edition and the devs are expecting players to join, except they never do.

Not a chance, it didnt hit 4k when it was free what makes you think more people are going to buy a deluxe edition?

Usually ....
Not long to find out.
I have to say its been great fun following this games journey along with GAF, what a twist it would be if it launched to 100k + would love to see it.

Deadlock is already destroying this game and it's not even actually out.

How many of you actually played the game? I enjoyed what I played. It’s well made and fun. I’ll be playing today.
It’s always surprising how much negativity is in this hobby.

The character designs could have been better, though. And yeah, it wasn't that bad when I played the beta; it reminded me of Destiny. But... I will probably stick to Destiny and pick this up later if it does end up doing better and has an active community.
That's just console war fanaticism and what's funny is the people doing it are also the ones complaining when the shoe is on the other foot (for the thing they like) so...

You act like the game didn’t have a completely free pair of betas. Plenty of us played it. If you had fun, great. But I respectfully disagree with your opinion. I found the game anything but “well made”. It’s derivative to its core with uninteresting characters that are blatant gameplay copies of other games with slow as molasses movement and TTK, and the most generic maps I’ve seen in very long time.
The only thing I took away from Concord after playing it for two weekends was that I’d rather play any of the existing f2p hero shooters that have more, better, content.

Not a lot, going by the open beta on PC and console.

Some fair points.
Personally, I think the core gunplay and gameplay is fine and movement becomes pretty fast actually.
Slow as molasses movement is how I'd describe Valorant, but Concord is a lot faster, especially once you understand the crew system.
The problem with Concord is terrible character designs, the fact that the game feels barebones, TTK and overall balancing issues and teammates not beimg replaced if someone leaves. This leads to matches that go downhill real fast, mainly in the no-respawn modes.
Hopefully Firewalk at least solved the issue of quitters.

Comparing existing hero shooters that have more content to a Beta. Sounds very fair

**Join-in-progress feature:** It was absent for Beta, but we're happy to announce that this feature will be launching with Concord! This feature helps to backfill team members who have left a game early, helping to ensure all matches are as evenly populated as possible.**Quitter Penalty:** Also absent for Beta but will be present at Launch. Quitter penalties will be applied to players who intentionally leave games early. There is a bit of grace given for the first couple of leaves, but after enough warnings, users will receive a Quitter Penalty that will put their ability to queue up on a cool down. The more penalties a player racks up, the longer a player will be prevented from queuing. Our goal is to help encourage healthy team play, fair matches, and respectful behavior. Quitter Penalties should help discourage repeat behavior of quitting mid-match so that both teams see their game through to completion.

Bunch of buffoons should've added it for the betas.
That was like a no-brainer and would've saved people from a lot of frustration.

The main problem with the game is that a requirement for playing it is you have to have eyes. While using your eyes, you have to look at the character designs. Might give it a go if they figure out a way to cater to blind people.

I think you’re on to something. A third person shooter where you can’t see what you’re shooting because your fat character takes up 75% of the screen. Everyone woddles at a snails pace, and gets winded after too many steps.Which character will you choose?

Yep. Pretty simple. But at least its done now

Looks like Concord and Dustborn will have to fight over the same 100 players.

That’s great. An actual constructive well reasoned position. Though you can hardly believe that is what most of the discourse around this game is.

That “beta” was the full damn game, minus some walled off modes, they admitted as much.Concord doesn’t exist in a vacuum, pal. If it wants to compete with existing hero shooters it should have learned from the mistakes of them before launching. Not launch in a barebones state and rely on people like you to carry their water for them with lame excuses like “other games needed time to mature”.
Ed:
No, I don’t pretend most of the discourse is well reasoned at all. But nuance on the internet is a tall ask for most things.

Saying Concord is worse than Valorant is a stretch though.

Overwatch is a different story.

Indeed, we playstation fans gotta keep it real or we might end up like xbox owners who were always ok with what mattrick and then phil did, then before they realised they got left with their pants down in the end like slowly cooked frogs.
