That's not what I mean, up until they did Loadouts if you wanted to be able to switch between a strikers, tacticians or reclaimers sets you had to swap everything on the fly or just log out then log into an alt that had the desired gearset and perks & talents ready to go. Gearsets are still a thing, and you're still going to want to be able to swap poo poo on the fly ( firearms/stamina/electronics are gone but you still have requirements to meet to activate talents ) being able to do it in 3 or 4 clicks was a boon.

I assume there will be phoenix credit type currency again that will benefit from having multiple characters.

Phoenix credits, while useful, ended up being fairly inconsequential toward the end of TD1 since loot drops became so plentiful. All the footage we've seen so far shows loot continuing to drop at a high frequency. While it seems like having multiple characters will help with limited drops from weekly activities, that's also something only the extremely dedicated will probably care to do. Since stash space is only going to be 150 again (and a reduced backpack capacity to 100) it's probably going to be a case where the other character slots just become gear mules again.

There's a "loadouts" button in the inventory UI so probably

Coolio, like I said I hadn't noticed it so if it's there that's great - I can't imagine I'm the only one who likes to swap gearsets on the fly depending on the activity I'm doing at the time and what the other guys in the squad are fielding ( if there's no Reclaimers I'll do it, but otherwise I'm taking Firecrest or Sentry's ), and before they introduced Loadouts in TD1 it was just often quicker to log out, change character and log back in.

:siren: Even though I fully downloaded the PS4 beta this morning, it seems to be redownloading the entire thing again. So if you want to play right at 4AM EST, you might want to boot up and DL it right now.

Nobody I know that has been invited via the friends thing has received an invitiation email. Is there some magic trick to get it to work?

I invited two IRL friends and they got them.

Try having them go directly to that page after you invite them.

As usual with this sort of thing, I had to go through my spam folder to find the invite.

I didn't get an email and there's nothing on my account page :( Everyone I know that wants to play this already preordered, I was just gonna give the codes away here. Oh well.

Can you even see the beta in the PSN store? Is your PSN account linked to your uplay? If you need a code I have 1 maybe 2 left.

You'd think about the sheer amount of private betas and closed tests and what-not Ubisoft do that they'd have an actual working robust system for this now.
I don't have a heap of spare time over the weekend, if anyone has a PC code how large is the download?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are. You are destiny.

I had to clear my cache to see the "new" page that had my code on it. Other people said using an incognito window / different browser worked. And obviously, if you are on console, you have to link your accounts.
