Original Post — Direct link

As people continue to discover Anthem, we expect a deluge of topics that solely ask questions and doesn't allow much leeway for discussion or speculation. To prevent a number of similar posts, we'd like for y'all to ask your simple questions here. That way, other people can chime in with a response. You can be as general or as specific as you'd like. Also, check the FAQ or previous megathreads to see if it's already been answered. You can also try asking on our Discord server in #anthem.

Just be aware that certain people, like BioWare developers, may not be able to answer your question in detail, if at all, due to internal constraints. Please do not ping any BioWare developers just for your comment. Thank you.

I have issues in fort tarsis where Matthias and Freelancer Jani both have dialogue options, but when I go to them the dialogue option disappears. Matthias is also still Split up into three people due to the manifold mission. This leaves me unable to talk to him.

Anyone else have these issues, is it a known bug?

It's a known bug, but I think it is only a visual bug - You may need to continue doing quests for those icons to disappear (or refresh with more dialogue).

How do I raise my freelancer loyalty? I'm playing gm1-2 with 2260 loyalty. I can't get 3000. I have no one to talk to so I have to earn expedition xp...

There are a lot of things within Anthem that increase Faction Loyalty in general, as well as Freelancer Loyalty. Things such as talking to NPCs within Fort Tarsis, finding collectibles throughout the world (mostly Arcanist/Sentinel), Freeplay events, completing contracts (Freelancer based would be Yarrow) even something as simple as exploring the world and finding undiscovered locations would contribute towards Freelancer Loyalty.

Can you release a comment on why xGladd was banned and what we as a community need to not do in order to avoid bans?

Or what are considered banable because it’s really unclear right now.

Nothing that I can personally say, unfortunately, that's not my area or my role to speak upon. I'll send the question through to the Community Managers once they're in the office later today so that they're aware of it :).

I'm playing on my xbox because my friend plays on xbox too. I want to switch to PC for better graphics, can I transfer my progress over to PC?

Whilst the team are aware of the requests for this and are still looking into possibilities around this, this is a feature that isn't currently within Anthem. Sorry Freelancer.

I honestly 100% think that the movement is still really slow in fort tarsis. If i could fast travel or have WAY faster movement speed id be happier

Will forward this feedback through to the team, it's a fair bit better than the beta movement - still open for improvement though!

A whopping 3 questions answered. Great idea.

These threads exist as a community initiative to allow for other players to help each other out and get the most repeated questions answered without having individual threads about them on the subreddit. I'm just putting in some answers on my own volition as I have tried to do in nearly every "Ask Your Questions" megathread these past few weeks :)

I'm on Xbox One.

I had to resize my screen in the settings to fit my tv. Thanks for including that. But whenever I boot up the game, the screen is un-resized. If I go into Settings, it corrects itself. Like as soon as it's on "Settings", it fixes and I don't have to go to the actual setting.

Just wasn't sure if anyone was aware of the issue.

Understood Moak0, will forward this through to the team.

What happened to removing whites and greens from the lv 30 drop table that was supposed to be part of the inscription update

Rather than opting to delay that update we had decided to put it out without the changes made to whites and greens as they needed more testing.

How do we know when the freeplay events are happening? Are there dates ?

If you're referring to the world events, there isn't anything in the game that tells you where they are - they do happen randomly and pop up on the map when you're in close vicinity to them.

There are some great resources that can help you find them though such as this and this

There are also timed events, which can often be found within the challenges tab and usually under "Combat". Although there aren't any ongoing right now.

A "great resource" would have been just to put markers in the game, but ok.

There's always room for improvement, and when it comes to waypoints, markers, and icons on the maps - they are being sent through to the team and they've acknowledged it too :)

Crafting:
Is there a way to upgrade crafting material to the next tier ie. 10x Uncommon >> 1x Rare?
If not do we know if that's something we can expect in the near-ish future?

No current functionality to allow for that aside from purchasing them via coin or farming, however, will forward the suggestion through to the team :)

I was referring to the timed event like 'there will be giants'. I think you answered it. Would be nice for that news screen to give some news like that instead of website links. IMO. Thanks !

In that case yep, often found under Challenges > Combat - that news screen often showcases those events too (when they are happening) :)

Enjoy Freelancer!

Who do I contact for account support? Just signed on and I'm back to level one from a 488. Everything Legendary and Masterwork gone. Can't access forge like day one

Sorry to hear about that Peashooter, if you've tried to log back in again and it's still the same - head on over to this link and have a chat with our support team.

Judging by your past reddit comments I think you're on PS4, so that link is for that platform - if you're on a different platform press 'go back' and alter the structure a little :)

Is it possible to upgrade standard to LoD through Origin? I have standard and premiere currently and am only given the option to purchase another entire copy of LoD.

I don't actually need premiere at the moment.

Could this be of any help to you possibly?

When are we going to hear a response on Anthem damaging and/or bricking consoles?

We are aware of the issue and the team are actively looking into it, we will make a thread on the issue or respond further when we're able to do so.

This game is made by a different company and published by a different company. How on earth would it work the same way?

...in Anthem's case - there's NO way of making anyone a leader currently. Disband and reinvite.

It is, however, a very valid Quality of Life thing that would help a lot of people. Wrote it down to be sent through for future consideration.
