The gameplay they showed near the start of Tennocon looked really intriguing game world wise. DE is fantastic at world building so it should be a treat!

And it'll be free to play so nothing to lose trying it once it's out

That worries me about predatory MTX then. F2P MMOs tend to go hard in that stuff.

Assuming it's the same they do in Warframe, it'll only be cosmetics that are only available with the premium currency. The premium currency is also tradeable, so F2P can get it without spending

They've been F2P for a long time now. What's different about their model is that, although you can buy in game currencies on their site, you can also trade them with other players for stuff. So if you want to play completely free, you can grind for your loot and valuable items on the market, then trade it with other players.

Warframe's been around a long time; I know in these parts there's a certain purist view towards MTX, but Warframe does it well enough that I don't mind paying for some of it and getting a lot of game in return.
