    Just installed the Closed Beta client on Steam and wanted to offer a few thoughts and some feedback.

    1. All of the skins are unlocked, but it doesn't register under the agent profile.

    2.On the Faction screen, there are a few agencies such as NSA, DIA, NRO, NGA, DHS and so on that are missing, but the description of the ones listed all read well.

    3. There's no option to replay the mission briefs.

    4. The mission brief itself was a bit laggy and choppy with the voice over.

    These are just initial impressions, overall...i'm really impressed with the work put into it!

    Hi!!

    You mean that you don't see them in your agent profile inventory?

    If you have access to a skin that is not in your inventory, it's a bug. For testing purpose we sometime open all the skin and forget to lock them back. We will fix it.

    Only the following agencies are interactive in NT4:

    Starting Agencies >
    Advanced Agencies >
    Elite Agencies >

    There is also 4 hidden agencies.

    In the mission theater interface, at the bottom of the theater intorudction.


    I know it does this on Mac, is it the same case on PC? We will fix it, it's probably a bitrate or compression issue.

    Indeed it's the same on a PC.

    And will the Ghost skin be available as a reward for later missions or just from Kickstarter?

    That being said, Codex has told me bribery works ad I've got turtles....:)

    I have not decided if we will open ways to get it in a limited bundle offer or via a live event. But the KS skins will be limited item, as with the phoenix skin.

    Would it be possible to get Captions in the theater intros?

    Just had a look around the game. I can't seem to figure out how the missions work. I opened 'Operation Silent Spring' (the only active one I could see) but there didn't appear to be anything to do. There was a message stating 'Next Update 21/10/2017 1500 EST' so I assume something will happen then.

    Not live yet! :) It's delayed a little bit for next week. We got some surprised in the meantime. I'll post shortly about it!

    Is there already or going to be a tutorial on using the new Mission Center? The previous iteration of the Mission Center in the Alpha was straight forward and easy to figure out. This new version...not so much. I can't see how to actually begin the mission instead of just repeating the mission brief.

    Also, the new Mission Center (after today's update) now gives a message warning that calibration needs to be done followed by a too brief statement on the command to use to initiate the calibration. However, I need more context in how to actually use the command (like where do I enter the command).

    I understand this is a beta, and I hope a tutorial of the new mission center is on the way...Or some other means of indicating where next to go to advance the mission...

    So far I've noticed that it would be nice to have a confirmation for the shutdown - if you accidentally click it then you have to reload the game and log on again. Secondly,
    when you get the optional info about the clients, a pop-up comes up prior to being able to actually read the intel and you have to choose which agency to give it to before you even get a chance to read it.
    I'd like to be able to see the document first, then choose, if possible.
