    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Get into game, go into Freeplay, exit Freeplay, all items appear magically.

    [manga] Everything Else

    ToG is great, but sadly there are some long stretches which are kinda dull, but keep going to see how epic it is currently. Its on break atm til sometime in March when the next arc starts up, can't wait. You might try out on called "UnOrdinary", its pretty good for a powered up teen drama.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The Freeplay zone feels a lot better when you're actually in a full group. I hope that someday they allow you pick which type of matchmaking you want for Freeplay; "solo open world" or "matchmake into group".

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Siege Breaker is pretty nice, full auto sniper that will proc a freeze on the enemy (and it appears to be small aoe). Pretty good on targets that will love through 3 shots, since you can then detonate them if you have a skill ready.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I have disagree, while the speed increase is noticeable, it is just barely so Yea, a bit sad, there is one mission where after you clear it you are zoned into a Strider bay that has your Javelin and a Forge access, along with a "door" to take you Tarsis. I think they wanted to make Tarsis into...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No, in too many cases the game is judge as a shit game because of how it didn't live up to the reviewers love for the old BioWare (tech issues aside), remove that bias and you find a game which nailed the "looter" aspect and is also a fun "shooter". Technically the game is flawed, everyone here...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I've had a similar thought about how the game feels like various pieces patched together. The game in Tarsis is in no way similar or as good as the game outside Tarsis.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Its just a symptom of the bandwagon effect and another review where the reviewer has a boner for the old BioWare, so they have to express their disappoint in some outrageous way.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I get that, and I think its a very "Oh this will turn it around for BioWare" type sentiment, just take the game as it is and not judge it based on its comparison to previous games made so long ago by a studio with the same name (but obviously lesser ability). When developing a game I am sure its...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Ok, but the missions in D2 are no different than what you see in Anthem; its all kill this or fetch that, with some jumping puzzles (which are nice), get X type of kills, get X kills with X weapon, etc. Yep, strongholds are anemic, but the Freeplay zone is pretty nice, but as you say, its really...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Curious here, but to those who have played Anthem to lvl30 and started the grind, if you find the missions to be boring, or not diverse enough, what type of missions would you want to repeat over and over? I'm not talking about Strongholds, or even the main Story missions, but stuff like the...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Heart of Rage boss is the most interesting encounter in that the boss does a lot you need to watch out for, the other two are pretty lame (at all difficulty levels). If they could spice up the encounters as you increase the difficulty it would go a long way towards making the strongholds feel...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    You can get MW items before lvl30 (I got my first at 26), but they won't be max ilevel, so don't stress much about it. Once you're lvl30 I'd suggest farming the hell out of a stronghold on Easy until you get 2 of the Avenging Herald pistol, their special perk stacks, so you'll be doing +400%...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Any Javelin can do that, some easier than others (Storm / Colo), you just need to take advantage of the combo system. When find the skill set that feels good to play, try focus on getting perks that buff those ability types. You can solo your way through the Story and then Freeplay / Contracts...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Hm, if you get nearly full MW components, with the right perks for your build, you can solo GM1 and could probably solo Gm2 if you're patient. Ran my 3 daily legendary contracts: 1-3-1 MW's.
  17. Zindan

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yea, loot has been changed I think. Running GM1+ strongholds nets you 1MW for each chest 100%. Normal GM1+ contracts are still a RNG thing, while the Legendary GM1+ contracts seem to be way better than they were. Prior to patch it was really rare to get a MW in either version of contracts at...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    You got lucky with the GM1 Contract dropping / rewarding a Masterwork, they do not guarantee them even now. If you did the Legendary daily contract(s), then yes, they will give you at least 1 MW as a reward. I've done six normal contracts at Gm1, and had no MW drops/rewards. They will have a...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The free legendary items you get (weapons at least, and if I recall the Gear) will disappear if you load into the Launch Bay, they should still be around if you use the Forge inside Tarsis itself.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Not sure anyone is defending the load times or the number of loading screens, at best they (me included) that load times on SSD aren't bad. That vid is dumb, at the start he says "Oh hey, they patched the stuff I'm mainly going to rant about such that they are not as big of (load times), or not...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Well, the first is just hype, and if people set their expectations on how a studio hypes up their game, you deserve to be disappointed... every time. Having you in particular bring up that point is kinda funny since you're well aware of shallow hype is, lol. Not defending any studio from trying...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Good time to start the loot grind, I think. I just did 3 legendary contracts and got: 1 legendary, 9 masterworks (3 of those being components) on GM1. Yesterday I thought I was lucky to get 3 masterworks in total. Loading times seem about the same, buuuut so far all team members have loaded in...

    Well, there is the Storm javelin exploit, which should be fixed today, maybe. Can kill anything in seconds, even at GM3 if you have the gear to be there.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Totally broken in a way, since you as a lvl30 can use Quickplay to run missions and end up with lvl3's. So yes, you can group up with low lvl friends and run them through the eniter story if you want, without slowing them down. It actually helps them earn more xp / currency.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Wrong? Not at all. Many are trying to compare Anthem to other games which BioWare has made, like their single player story driven action games. Anthem is clearly not that type of game, so I don't fault it for having a moderately interesting Story, at all. I knock it for having Tarsis be the way...

    He knows what type of game he wants to play, and what to expect from those game, unlike so many other reviewers.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I honestly have no idea what type of game these reviewers want, its obviously nothing that is currently out. It seems each of them want an old style, deep RPG story (which BioWare can no longer make), and with a mission system that apparently needs to have tons of complex involved mechanics for...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The fun factor in Anthem kicks in when you get a piece of loot that makes you go "holy shit!"... and you'll get those. I switched up my Ranger build today into a full Blast build (frag grenade and blast missle), since the Ranger Ult is also Blast. I haven't started to try and craft components...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I like running contracts too, but they just don't seem as rewarding as a stronghold or world event for the given difficulty (no completion reward / chest).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No more easy Masterworks / Legendaries from Freeplay open world chests. Missed out on the gravy by a few hours. I think GM1 will be a bit overpowered for people who weren't able to farm chests, at least PUG groups. The adjustment to mob Shields cannot come fast enough. Trying to finish up the...

    He is no different than other youtube reviewers, points valid issues, rages about silly shit. Yet the issues he goes on about are present in practically every game, day one bugs, not enough content, boring content, etc. Nothing special to Anthem, its just one more game released in a bad way and...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Seems like a shit review, lol. The reviewer apparently wanted a proper RPG, with loot tacked on, but got a proper looter shooter with an RPG tacked on, and their disappointment is somehow BioWare's fault. They apparently don't even know you can solo contracts / missions if you want. I'm seeing...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yes, if you spend enough time in Tarsis you'll see it. The romance options are there too, but just not enabled, its like some of the npc's you talk with take you to the point where you could get into sexy time with them in a couple more dialogue scenes. Lesbians, gay men, more browns than...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No, people will be doing the one stronghold that is the most efficient to do. Right now, people are just doing the first encounter of the Scar stronghold and leaving, while others are just chest farming Freeplay. These are the "hardcore" types who poopsuck as much as they can as quickly as they...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Take the complaints in here is a few lumps of salt. No one is outright wrong, its just a matter of a persons disappointment at the game not being exactly how they hoped it would be (right now, if ever).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Have you completed the requirements for the Trial? If so, it wants you to go into the Tomb and "greet" the Guardian, which is nothing more than clicking on the item atop the coffin.
  38. Zindan

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I could be wrong, but it appears that the hardest stronghold is just a ramped up Story mission.
  39. Zindan

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I think the long load times is mostly due to the matchmaking system syncing up players. It can go fast, but most of the time it is slower than zoning into the same mission while solo (in my experience so far).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They are right though. If you go into one of the mini dungeons you're leaving the open world! So seeing a load screen is perfectly acceptable. ;p
