it's important to note that players who are starting in the world of Verra, they're coming in actually a few short months after the very first expeditionaries were sent through the Divine gateways when they opened from Sanctus. And the early days on Verra with the return were not super easy. They were difficult. There were struggles with the food supplies. There were a little bit of mutinies that occurred. There were certain artifacts that were found by some of these NPCs that were your predecessors in the return; and some of them decided that they would be better off on their own, or that they had a more powerful thing or creature that they could follow and be rewarded from. And some of them turned into cultists

Opportunity rarely comes without risk. In Ashes, we are not the tip of the spear. They went ahead of us some months ago.

If you sent others through to set up shop, you have no way at all of knowing how it's going until you yourself go through that portal and have a look - at which point there is no turning back. Actually this has been asked, and the answer was "we don't want to spoil anything" So if you have a quote that says the portals are one way from anyone at Intrepid, let me know. Sanctus is a key story arc, that will likely have very little revealed about it prior to the Betas.[33] – Steven Sharif

I see it too, on the wiki - but it's also contrary to everything that's ever been said about them in the Q&A's. To my understanding, we won't be able to use cosmetics right out of the character generator. Even if we can? I don't mind; Look however you want, while levelling and PvP'ing.

Lol - yes, specifically yours is definitely the latest, bud. You've un-knowingly joined a long list of players who seem to be concerned about what *other* players will be wearing, as they are levelling. Nothing in your thread was a concern not voiced, already. If you want to push for a "toggle" to see what other players are really wearing, that's fine - but those of us whom have purchased the cosmetics have done so with the understanding that we'll be able to use the cosmetics from the moment that we have all the under-gear (real gear) over which to place it - which probably *won't* be at level one. To clarify? No one will be creating a character, spawning into the game environment, and then IMMEDIATELY donning their cosmetic gear, to look shiny and awesome; You have to have looted/obtained gear *over which* to place the cosmetic gear, before we'll be able to use it. I don't feel this will be possible before levels 4 or 5. Even then - what do you care what other players will be wearing? It's an MMO; In PvP, you'll be looking between 3 things: 1) where you are, in-relation to the enemy, 2) your ability cooldowns bar, and 3) you and your enemy's health-and-buffs/de-buffs bar. Number 3 will show you which armor-type an enemy is wearing, if you're wanting to know which types of weapons and attacks to be using, against them. Anything you can complain about this aspect of the game is ultimately trumped by the fact that we've purchased the cosmetic gear with the understanding that we'll be able to use it from the point of having all of the pieces of gear over which to place it. The only useful effort you could make towards a dislike for this would be to push your support for a cosmetics "toggle" option, in-regards to other players.

Yeah, but it's not "Terminator" rules; We're not *NAKED* when we come through the portals. And you've counter-pointed yourself, in your reply: Some of us *would* have fancier (cosmetic) gear than others, depending on the lives we've lived on Sanctus.
