    Just you probably. Make a harvest set, set the diff to Normal, spawn into Freeplay right outside Tarsis and go left or right along the zone wall to make a loop. Was and still is pretty populated with events (aside from yesterday when Freeplay was broken for a few hours).

    Apparently BioWare will be posting a perk/stat guide next week listing all the effects. It didn't sound like it would be an ingame stat page/description type thing, just a news type post somewhere.

    Acid is Physical dmg. Also, if a weapon has an elemental proc, they are separate dmg sources. So physical/impact would buff the bullets, and any +elemental effect would buff the elemental proc. Divine Vengeance is so good because you can buff phys/impact, blast (explosion) and fire. Tested...

    Every gun in the game needs a base reduction in reload times. I got a legendary shotgun "Rolling Carnage", nice perks, and its bonus increases dmg by 50% when you Dash (stacks 3x). I thought it would be great for my Ranger, since run & gun is my playstyle. Started using it and the just sucks. It...

    No difference. I've gotten the same amount of materials / embers at all levels of difficulty (Easy through GM1).

    Not sure about the others, but Harvest has a tiered result for the amount of Embers you get: 0-99 = 1 100-149 = 2 150-249 = 3 250-350 = 4 +1 per Elemental Rage AR you have equipped (bug). Also it seems that inscription caps are increased with rarity. I've not seen Luck higher than 35% on...

    Its not just Hard difficulty, you'll get the same stuff on Easy and Normal as well. It is in GM1+ where the entire loot table opens up.

    The Dev who was giving us all that info about Luck updated his information. All players start with 100 Luck, so all you need to get on gear is 90 to be at the highest threshold.

    Good first step. With this change we'll be able to see if drop rates themselves need a boost (probably).

    There are times when you disconnect during Freeplay and when you do the reconnect / exit Freeplay thing you won't see what you had. If this happens, go to your Forge and the items should be in there (epic+). Ran 6 contracts at 192 Luck; 1 Legendary, 1 MW. One contract dropped a total of FOUR...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yea, I'm about to go have ppl unknowingly carry me through some Gm1 contracts while rocking 192 Luck (461 ilvl). Build isn't that bad though, tbh. Using best weapons, 3rd best launcher/grenade setup and general components that buff all the other stuff (except no buffs to Blst, sadly).

    I'm only expecting some information on when the inscription fixes will go live, and their thoughts on loot drops overall going forward. I am sure the post by Travis Day kinda forced them to rethink their plan.

    I was getting a lot of disconnects on official launch day, and started running trace routes to see what was going on. At that time there were two Amazon nodes that were taking a shit before my packets hit their ddos protection. Not sure how PS4/Xbox handle connectivity to Anthem servers.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No unique models as of yet for the legendary guns, and all the legendary items are just ilvl upgrades (though that 2 ilvl scales up the dmg by a good chunk). I've gotten 3 legendary guns now: Avenging Herald (sucks for my playstyle as ranger), Rolling Carnage (a pretty badass shotgun where...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The stupid staggered release is probably why they've cycled through the same cosmetics twice now to give Xbox/Ps4 and non Premier subs the chance to get those items. If the same shit appears at next cycle, yea, lame. They have quite a few more cosmetics ready to go already if you find some alpha...

    They don't have individual accounts? Not sure if all the streamers there were doing what the current guy was doing.

    Oh god, classic. Streamerhouse and friends were exploiting a bug that allowed them to reset the final boss of a SH, to just fight the boss and get loot, got perma banned. Now they are whining that they weren't doing anything wrong! They were just doing what they could do in Borderlands! lol.

    While you are correct that a games intro hours should give you a feel for whether or not you'll like the gameplay, the article posted recently was apparently written by someone who failed to understand what was being presented to them, like any 8yr could. Just simple gameplay aspects that are...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Was the reviewer just a bad player? You know, like a Storm that doesn't hover during combat? Faulting Anthem for supposedly failing to fully utilize flying is somewhat justified, but the gameplay does allow you to fly around as you like in combat and for missions. Not setting the game up to...

    They need to fix the useless perk rolls before adjusting loot drops, make what we get more important than giving us even more useless shit. I'm more depressed at how awful my crafting RNG is while trying to make a Harvest set.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Same here. I've yet to see a single item drop for my Ranger that had +Blast dmg, nor have I been able to craft a single Universal component that has Blast dmg. Best I've seen, and I'm not sure its as good as pure Blast, are items with +Dmg to Q or E. To take down shields as a Ranger, you need...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Do people realize that the drop rate as it is right now is the exact same drop rate one day before their mistake? I didn't see nearly as much whining about that back then as now. Instead of increasing drop rates back to that mistake, I'd rather see them fix the useless perks issue first...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Noticed tonight while I bit the bullet to finish the 25 Quickplay runs for Valor, that if you run on Normal you won't encounter dead instances nearly as much on other difficulties. Had to make 9 more runs, only 1 was bugged.

    Were you gifted some coin right after the tutorial? Most if not all the Premier members got a sizable chunk of Coin, I got 160k which I've spent. I think I've made around 120-130k coin in my 90-ish hours.

    No, if he spent 60hrs farming Tyrant Mine and is complaining about only earning 93k, then yes, he is playing poorly. The cost of MW ember in that show is truly dumb, no argument there. If it were like 500-1000? Good. You can also, if you're willing to do so, craft a set of components that have...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Those of you saying drops were reduced, what Luck are you running? Drops in Freeplay feel the same to me, drops in GM1 Contracts seem as bad as normal, while drops in Legendary GM1 Contracts seem less. I'm starting to think that doing good dmg in GM1+ is too reliant on getting nice perks, at...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yea, I got a Legendary marksman rifle (its perk lowers recoil per hit) with +250% phys dmg. Rolls like that is the only way to make gun dmg relevant in GM1+, wish I had that on an AR or machine pistol.

    You can solo all Story missions, all side missions, all Contracts and Freeplay (there will be 3 other ppl roaming the Freeplay map, but not grouped with you). You are forced to get into a matchmaking group for Stronholds. So yes, you can play Anthem exactly like you play the other games. It...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Its fine if you get a 4 player group so the freeplay zone is all yours, if you go in solo its difficult to find these Titans and world events in general since the other people or group is clearing them. Sucks. Wish they would enable a few of those Shaper tubes to send you to each of the Freeplay...
