XL Stream! Just Deserts - Beta Weekend 5 - Icarus
1Catching up on older broadcasts, Beta Weekend 5 was late October, technically it was an extra long weekend but we ended up just blasting through the new desert biome mission in a single long session. Normally I do not get to stream these or record with cam and mic, but had the house to myself due to another unexpected hospital visit for my daughter, and this time due to lockdown restrictions I could not even go to visit, so had to do something to distract myself anyway... Overall another enjoyable weekend playing around getting a base established, and exploring the newly revealed Desert areas.
There was a bit more life in the desert than I had expected, it feels a bit too lush, but then this is one of two desert biome sections in the map and has some rivers running through with oasis areas - bit more like mid-west rocky deserts than something more bleak. The other desert zone might be more barren.
By the end of the stream I was getting a bit impatient, and took fewer precautions than I really should have. We still completed the primary objective at least, and completing the optional secondary tasks would I think have been too tedious to do as a solo player anyway - would have involved a lot of extra gear and probably some base building cheese.
Next beta weekend should be interesting as they say it is about Missions plural, hopefully getting a glimpse into what the expected gameplay loop might be more like by stringing together multiple sessions with progression over the set. Not sure if we get to see anything about the Loadout yet, though.
