Oh damn.
I haven't had my ps4 on for anything but Netflix or Prime for a couple weeks. Anthem doesn't launch for me for another 8 hours. |

Think it's up to Sony at this point. I'm pretty sure BioWare wants it.

I'm early (level 5) but I'm really enjoying everything so far...super fun.
Can't wait to see what they add down the road....I'm actually patient with GaaS so I'm good with what they have content wise right now. I saw they put a roadmap out....curious to see what Cataclysms are. |

I've had next to no bugs. The first time I activated the Detective Hops tape player I crashed (well, second time really; it had just finished playing the initial episode and I hit it again...). I've lost connection with the server maybe 3 times in however many hours I've played (probably 50 by now). And that's it.
Which highlights one issue I have with nearly all the reviews: they were made playing the pre-release version of the game. The day one patch was huge and they've patched twice more since then. That, to me, is irresponsible, if these people are at least pretending to be journalists. The weirdest thing to me is that I've seen so many complaints about the story, as well as the game being short or incomplete. It's like I'm playing a different build or something. It's easily the best story I've ever played in this kind of online game. And like with every other BioWare game ever, the side quests are as important as the critical path, so I've done all of them and all that combined (so far) is ****ing gigantic. That's without even considering all of the conversation side quests in Fort Tarsis, more of which just opened up. At this point probably fifty hours in, I'm not even level 20 yet, and I still have 3 more critical path quest challenges to go. It looks like I'm at most halfway through the agent quests. I'm probably not going to hit the so called 'endgame' for another 2 or 3 days. So I guess you have people like me, who do everything that you can do. And then you have people who skip all the cutscenes (and these people are usually the same ones complaining about the story - they say it's not good, although they also say they've skipped everything, so how do they know...), skip all the side quests. I know that with Destiny 2 last year, I finished all the story missions either on day 1 or early day 2. So this is so far more than twice the story content that game provided. Anthem doesn't have any set pieces like the Almighty so far, although I will say the Fortress of Dawn was one of the coolest sections of any game I can ever remember playing. And after reading a few reviews, I expected all the quests to be exactly the same. They're not. At all. Again, it's like I have a different build or something. I just don't get it... I love freeplay as much as I did in the alpha/demos. Except now I have 8 million challenges to finish. Which is something else Destiny 1/2 didn't provide. And that map is ****ing huge. I finished all the exploration challenges last night (well, everything aside from the document ones, which will take me approximately forever to finish), now I'm just leveling weapons and javelins. Which for me is exactly what I need in a game to keep me invested: a goal to drive towards. Even if it's something as meaningless as a Legendary Freelancer challenge that rewards me with a new graphic that probably no one other than me will ever see. I love the daily/weekly/monthly challenge setup, because they all look doable (although I can't finish the first monthly?! Are you kidding me?! ARGH). We'll see how I feel once I hit 30 and the real repetition sets it. But I'm only on vacation for two more days, so it's not like I'll be able to play more than 3 or 4 hours a day anyway. Maybe it works for me because I solo so much? Whatever the case, it's like they made this game for me. |

I am getting an annoying bug after finishing freeplay, where it says connection lost but I can click through it wiihout touching that window then basically it acts like it didn't happen. Also some of the loot is a bit bugged, I found an item with it's main attribute as +0 percent on the big bold text. I wonder if that's fixed now I just got a legendary item from doing quickplay with noobs. Last edited by Imon Yourside; 02-25-2019 at 08:05 PM.. |

The problem is the end game + loot. The rolls are god awful on masterwork and legendary gear. There was a quality post by one of the Diablo 3 devs, and pretty much offered a ton of great feedback on what to do with the loot issue and end game content. I really hope Bioware listens to him.

So I'm seeing something odd. In freeplay there are pairs of random electrical orbs floating above the map in a few areas, and I've run across several ancient Ash Titans. Lead-in to a new event of some kind?

Not showing it as active anywhere I've looked, and I finished that last weekend. These are just regular Ancient Ash Titans, not the named ones. And I think they can spawn randomly. It was really the other part that was weird, the electrical orbs. They were like the ones you can shoot off the platform on the second phase of Hive Tyrant. Just randomly up in the sky in a couple of places. Seemed weird. I've been running quests the last few hours, haven't been in freeplay so I don't know if it was still happening.
