Anthem Dev Tracker

Absolutely baseless speculation: I'm guessing it will work asynchronously like you're describing. My reasoning being that if it's you + five friends, you can't include everyone in a fireteam (or whatever we're calling them in this game), meaning if everyone's online and available, someone's going to get left out, which isn't a good feeling. Plus, if we compare to Destiny's (admittedly flawed) clan system, you've got a system where individuals can contribute to the group through solo play (when they bother to give us solo-able bounties, at least), so there's precedent in the genre.

This is very cool, just two quick questions..

1. Why 6 and not 8? Seems like 2 of my buddies are getting screwed when max party size is 4. I'm guessing it partly has to do with the rate of earning coins, it just seems slightly odd.

2. Do you have to be currently online to get credit for each other's play time/activities?

   i.e. I can be offline while my buddy is playing and as long as he's in my alliance I'll still get alliance points for the week.

   If so this sounds great because I have buddies across all of the US time zones, so being able to contribute even if not able to do a full coordinated group run is always a positive.

In your bio it says you were in charge of multiple things including “competition” is that code for something planned later?

Is that secondary bucket the guild system, alliance system, or something completely different?

It's still not clear. Do you have to play anthem with these friends or does it count even if all of us are playing separately?

Well I have 0 regular “friends” that I play with so rip me

How does the multiplayer and open world interact? Is it like destiny where other players are phased into the world or is it like borderlands or Diablo where players just drop in if you open your session?

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I was hoping to get the maximum number of players per alliance that anthem will support?

Just a quick question:, I just wondering, the N7 skin will be a cross-bio reward for owning one specific of the Mass Effect series or just a normal in-game reward?

How many players will the alliance system in anthem support, many of us are a member of several social media platforms totaling thousands of future freelancers. It would help tremendously to know how many players per alliance as we try to organize in anticipation for such a social game experience as Anthem.

With things like 'Legendary Contracts', would I be correct in assuming that playing these on hard would yield better rewards than playing it on normal mode?

Seeing as the game is basically 1 month from release (3 weeks if that 7 days early access works the way i think it works). Bioware employs at large must be in the thick of it, long hour, lost sleep, being far from loved ones, strained relationships and the real human cost of bringing a project across the finish line.

Say what you will about the game, the post launch complains that maybe or doubts associated with the publisher (or the ''money men'') but lets not forgot every single person that spent long hours, stressing and putting every ounce of effort they had in to the task they had at hand to create this game.

From the QA tester, to Lead Programmer or a Voice Over Resource Producer, it took something out of everyone to make this happen.

So i think that we as a community can come together, wish them luck and steadfastness on the coming days. But also thank them, as individuals for all the efforts put in to this.

Will cosmetic items bought with coin be time exclusive? Or will any cosmetic be available permanently?

I’m excited that YOU’RE excited!

Originally posted by RewindSwine

I think this will be crucial and with how transparent they have been already I’m confident they’ll eventually release one. As of right now I’ve not heard anything about one though. Have they mentioned anything about creating one once the game launches? Just something I would love to see so the community has a solid reference to how they plan on expanding the game.

Originally posted by PiCkL3PaNtZ

how long does it take playtime to earn enough coins for a cosmetic like 24 hours? or is it resonable??

Will be there any world/region chat except your javelin team? Quest hub chat? Optional player made channels..etc?

Originally posted by CoolHandJohnson

What will they be locking behind “premium currencies”? What won’t I be able to get just by playing the game?
