Heya there Prospectors! We are applying a small patch to the Closed Beta build to fix a few issues and improve the overall experience for the remainder of the Beta. Check them out! [h1]NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT[/h1] As a result to the positive reactions from our community, we have decided to lift the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) until the end of the Closed Beta. That means you will be allowed to record, share and stream any and all content the game has to offer once the patch is applied. As a note, the starting screen will be modified to reflect that decision. [h3]Have fun streaming The Cycle: Frontier![/h3] [h2]ADJUSTMENTS[/h2] [list] [*] Tutorial rewards have been tweaked a bit. You will now be able to craft a green quality backpack as part of your first missions.
