Okay, guys, it seems the current free trial for Origin Access will end 7th March. So if anyone want to take advantage of the free 10% discount that comes with the trial or just want to try Origin Access for free then I recommend doing so soon. Remember to cancel your subscription before the seventh day to avoid getting billed.

I suggest getting the free discount now in case you change your mind about playing the early access later.

Yeah, you're right. Since I plan on pre-ordering anyway, I may as well get a "free" discount now.

So, I go to place my pre-order for the Deluxe Edition and this message pops up, saying what I'll get if I upgrade to the Super Deluxe Ed. instead:

SPOILER: Click to show

Upgrade to the Super Deluxe Edition and score new weapons, 20 weekly Multiplayer Booster Packs and more!

Does anyone know what the hell this thing is talking about? According to the list of what comes with each version, only the MP packs are extra to the SD edition. So what's the other stuff, and why isn't it listed anywhere?

 I cannot find anything that suggests that this is a recent addition that just hasn't been added to the comparison list yet so I say ignore it. It seems like a mistake.  

Oh, there's an up to 75% sales going on at Origin for those interested. It seems to cover a lot of titles.

The only thing I can think of is the message is actually for those buying the standard version, for which it would be true. Makes no sense if buying the Deluxe Ed. though.

Anyway, pre-order placed.

Windows pre-load date: March 17, 2017 10:00 AM PDT

Ah, I've found something: it seems the weapons and more are multiplayer items included in the multiplayer packs. It seems to be just a confusing choice of words used.

Release Date: March 23, 2017  No worldwide release, sadly

Okay, so here is my warnings for the sixth briefing titled Golden Worlds & Settlements.

First, I would however like to give a shout-out to the first contact protocols that are to be strictly observed but which we don't any what actually are except don't assume aggressive action unless met with obvious risk of injury or death. Basically: don’t be a dick and shoot first. It does say that the sovereign soil of any alien civilization found is to be respected. I admit I am a bit disappointed that this was all there was to them but I don't know, maybe they'll come up in the game itself. I hope so since that would be fun given the game's angle of exploration of and meeting the unknown. I suppose I can see why given that the first contact protocols may not be making much of an appearance in the game but it could have been neat to hear more about. Oh well.

There's not much to talk about in the briefing: it is about planetary targets for colonisation: it shows images and talks about what is known about said targets. It talks about how the colonisation and migration procedure will be carried out.  As I've mentioned above, the training hub shows an image of an alien race on the left side of the screen which is rather bothersome and completely unnecessary as this race is not mentioned nor featured in the briefing itself. As AllyCatAttack has mentioned, the briefing is narrated by a personnel member but not, as I can tell, by a squadmate. The narrator introduces themselves by name but don't talk about themselvesx except for their function. You have to click on the pop-up to learn more.

Oh and it continues to sound amazesome.

I would like to note this little line at the end of the briefing that I love: “Your path in Andromeda is our future and every step brings us closer to home."

Thank you AllyCatAttack and shechinah!

I don't dare to look at them but it is nice to know the outline of what is shown

Glad to be of help

Also, 11 days to early access!
