They are restarting servers left and right, give it 30 minutes (making an assumption)

Yeah, it'll take a little bit for the servers to fully roll over 😊.

Did the event end? Tried to load freeplay twice now, nothing happening anymore.

No it should be up for some time, the server is probably still just rolling over 😊.

Cool. Question, if I may:

You (not you personally, you as in BioWare) mentioned that the reason why you will have dedicated servers is to make sure everyone is experiencing the same, right? Is that still up for launch?

Also, are the 3 platforms (PC, PS4, XBox) going to be synced as well?

TIA!

Yep we wanted to ensure the same quality of experience for everyone, with peer hosting the connection quality can be fairly variable. It also lets us do a bunch more stuff on the service side as well.

Updates like this are global for all platforms 😊.

If Anthem has dedicated servers, why does an expedition end when a single person leaves?That feels like peer hosting, and the host leaving ends the expedition.

If you're in a squad, the squad leader controls what the group does... So if they leave the whole squad does.

If you're not... It's a bug 😣.

With you guys having dedicated servers, do you think it'll be possible to do cross saves?

I understand cross play -- playing with other platforms -- is limited by the owners of those platforms, but I'd really like to see cross save so that, if my friends jumped on PC, I could buy the game on origin and have it use the same save I made on Xbox, since everything is sorta linked through the EA Account.

That's what's bothered me the most with Destiny, I've had friends change platform but I'm already invested in Xbox so I don't want to go through starting from Zero just to play with them.

Its a bit more complicated, but it is something we're interested in and will be looking into post ship. 😊

Nope, you're just going out and then coming back - you don't affect others (or at least you shouldn't be 😊).
