    Alpha exclusive item

    Would be really neat if you gave all alpha members a special cosmetic item. just a thought. As im sure we would all like to stand out in one way or another

    I don't think that's a good idea if I'm being honest. The fact is the Alpha is limited to well...just PC. It would kind of be a middle finger to all the other platforms.

    The game Hawken gave you skins for playing in the alpha/beta tests, the alpha one being pretty rare. It feels great showing it off, and I think that would work in some way with For Honor aswell

    It's not even just limited to PC, but limited to a select few. Playing the game this early is its own reward. Now if you give out something cosmetic when people can participate on their own will, I don't mind, but not right now with such a limited alpha.

    I think this raises the point, being in the Alpha is a reward in and of itself.

    Absolutely, regardless of platform.

    It seems to me that having a purely cosmetic item that identifies a player as an alpha participant can't detract from other players' experience enough for it to be excluded from the game. I just think that with all of the other threats on the battlefield, my special alpha shoulder engraving isn't going to bring my enemies to their knees in terror, much less affect balance in any way.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (I honestly do not know) but aren't unlocks and player bases for this game separated by system of choice? Meaning if only PC players get an alpha thing then only PC players will ever see said alpha thing? I guess I'm failing to see why the wanting of an alpha item on one system should deprive another? Of course the devs could just include a console alpha and this wouldn't be a problem.
