    Yes, there is. It's under the privacy tab in the launch screen.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Hmm, I got DC'd another 4 times, but when I finally ended the next Freeplay the masterwork items (which was actually 8) and everything else I looted was still there. Apparently, there's some protection in that the Freeplay loot gets cached even when you DC.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    My salt level is high right now. I tried to leave Freeplay with 7 masterwork items in my inventory and got disconnected. Obviously, I lost them all.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    95% of my play is on GM1 and the other 5% I tinker with GM2. I find that everything but bosses just melt for groups that actually know what they're doing. Players don't necessarily have to be super well geared, but actually using their brains by flanking the shield guys and exploiting weak...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yes, it's level based, but you can get Masterwork before you're max level. Or could. I have no idea if the patch yesterday changed that. Personally, my first masterwork didn't come until I hit 30. Loot is: White/Common, Green/Uncommon, Blue/Rare, Purple/Epic, Orange/Masterwork, Yellow/Legendary.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    And you're autistic. My comment was to illustrate that I don't take notice of many posters here unless they're assholes (or consistently post interesting information), despite years spent visiting this site and every iteration before it. It had absolutely nothing to do with me, retard. I...

    There's no problem. The game is quite accommodating for those situations.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    My relationship with Anthem is similar. I really enjoy the gameplay, but I also find myself heavily sighing and getting incredibly frustrated over being forced to deal with some aspects of the game. For instance, the "city" is pure trash. I've gotten so fed up with running laps to continue...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Choke on my dick, faggot. I'm a 20+ year veteran of FoH yet there are MAYBE two dozen names that stand out to me and you're one of them because you have a well-documented history of just complaining about everyfuckingthing. Especially games. Complaining about games is fine, even necessary, but...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The load screens are my biggest gripe. Just last night I was playing with a friend and after an hour long freeplay session we got booted and lost all the masterworks we farmed. We were obviously both salty, but I really lost it when I went to prepare for a contract by making consumables and...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Ok? So, fuck off and stop reading about a game you very clearly despise. Anthem is not without warts, but despite them a lot of people are having fun with it. It's obvious that Anthem is never going to clear the bar and be the 1 in 500 game-Utnayan-approves-of. We get it, you hate the game...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I exclusively play Colossus and I have that same rifle. It absolutely shreds shields.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    With most games, I find they don't get much better if the early game isn't fun, but I'm inclined to agree with you about Anthem. I found the first 25ish levels mediocre, but Grandmaster and the back end of the main story made the game enjoyable.

    Same. I occasionally encounter a fuckwit who acts like General Zod on VoIP, but they always immediately pipe down when I tell them to shut the fuck up.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Nothing overt as far as I can tell, but both my buddy and I noticed that the overwhelming majority of NPCs you interact with are non-white, "strong" females. And most of the men are either idiots, pathetic, or gay.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I played the Colossus a lot during both demo weekends and found it to be very sturdy. Granted, I used two of the health/armor add-ons and I also used my 'super' as a defensive cooldown. It heals you to full and makes you, essentially, invulnerable during its duration. On Hard, I only had...

    The D&D thread

    I haven't played D&D in years, but I have a lot of experience. I've wanted to get back in to a regular campaign, but I can never find a 'normal,' consistent group of people. Do any of you play in or run an online campaign with a slot for a non-disruptive, reliable player? I prefer to play...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    For me, Anthem is looking like a Borderlands 2 experience. My best friend and I played the shit out of it for a month or so, had a ton of fun, and then never looked back. I hope the future content can keep me periodically interested, but if not, no big deal.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I don't know if it's a bug, but twice now I have killed the bug boss and got server disconnected right as we finished the battle. No loot for either run. Gay.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The whole "it's gaming and entertainment and therefore it should be a less profit-driven industry" is retarded. I'm not at all making excuses for publishers/studios that make incredibly poor financial decisions in games because there are a lot of them, but I am not going to begrudge the...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Anthem is a "Live Service" game. All the future content is going to be free (or so they say). The cash shop is very likely one of, if not only, revenue source for continued development costs. Like many games, the cash shop is just an alternative to a subscription fee. Even so, I'd prefer that...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Developers/publishers have been coming up with additional ways to increase revenue for years. Cash shops fleecing the low-IQ, young, or (as you say, Luthair) mentally ill isn't new, but is it predatory? My gut reaction is a hesitant, no. However, my perspective is through the lens of above...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Hey, if I was EA, I'd be fleecing idiots and wales whom want to dress up their dolls, too. Right up until the level that public outcry was too much. Look, regardless of what they will cost (and as I said, it won't be remotely close to $20), the ball is in the consumers court. There are literally...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    As a whole, I couldn't care less about cosmetics or their cost. I've never purchased a cosmetic in any game where they were available and very likely never will. That said, I can see why people are bent out of shape over the model. However, as far as I am aware there isn't any factual...

    Health Problems

    As a last ditch effort to address my T levels before getting on the train I made some significant changes in my life. 1. I completely reworked my diet; every animal product (meat, eggs, butter, cheese, etc) I buy now must come from a grass-fed animal that is also free from hormones/antibiotics...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I like the game a lot. It's obviously not without flaws, but a lot of them have been proven to be ironed out with a newer build. Like others have said, it's not revolutionary, but it's fun and I look forward to playing it. Especially with friends. There aren't a lot of games these days that I...

    There's open world. It's called "Freeplay."

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Ya, there are a fuckton of connectivity issues. In the three hours I've played I've had to alt+f4 out of the game 5 times. Just tried (and finished) my first mission on Hard; it went well. Had a few guys get downed, but we completed it on the first run. Nothing impressive, but the step up from...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I've been playing it for a couple of hours now and I really like it. I don't have a lot of time invested in Destiny 1/2, but Anthem feels like a similar/better version of that game. Also, I don't completely agree with the common assessment of the controls while using M/KB. The flying could be a...

    Health Problems

    I don't think it's unique to us here, it's Western men as a whole. There is a lot of recent literature that shows average Test levels in men have been dropping for decades. One of the studies I read even suggested that the average Test level of a man today is half what it was 100 years ago. I'm...

    Health Problems

    First, I'm not saying pellets aren't effective at all. Rather, they're just very sub-optimal. They have a huge potential for infection at the application point and massive-scale issues with rates of absorption that often leave patients in the finals weeks/days of the treatment cycle with...

    Health Problems

    This is the first time I've ever visited this thread and I've only read a few pages (starting at the end and working backwards), but pellets are some of the least reliable/effective forms of TRT that you can utilize. Admittedly, I don't know anything about your situation and you may know that...

    Well, this patch un-fucked my game. It's playable again. I'm still going to wait for 1.1.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I know it's completely obvious and I feel a little stupid for not considering it before (basically forgot I had it), but sliding on your bandanna prevents bounties being placed on your head in a lot of instances.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I agree about the graphics. Just now I did a side mission where as the sun was coming up I crested a hill that looked over a small mining town and the visuals were so amazing I just whispered to myself "Wtf?" I'm blown away this was possible on a PS4.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    If you loot that guy, you lose karma.....This game is a near-masterpiece, but some of the mechanics are a little over the top.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Yep, that shit is gay as fuck. I had something very similar happen to me and after the bounty hunters ambushed me the first time I just went "fuck it" and killed everyone in the town. Now you've got a reason to come after me, faggots.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I'm going to echo what the others have said. Wait until the 22nd for the major patch before investing any time in it.
