Hahaha. There was no world in which I was actually upset at the comment. This video is very funny however.

So I know that in the stream the devs said that there would be over a hundred different types of inscriptions with loot pools separating them. But how big are these pools exactly? Are they so big that it'll take 10 years just to get a god roll? Because as far as I know, you can have up to 4 inscriptions on legendary gear. (correct me if I'm wrong) The amount of time it'll take to get 4 good rolls on one gear and the time it takes to get a gear makes me concerned that I am going to get one god roll a year. So there are two scenarios: (1) Each loot pool has an insane amount of possible inscriptions or (2) each loot pool has too little. Personally I want it to be the first choice, but if it is too big, then maybe perhaps have some kind of item that influences the type of inscriptions you're more likely to get. Like some card that you can set your most preferred rolls like melee only or thrust only. Idk, what do you all think?

Edit: I'm all for taking a long time to get god rol...

This is one of the things we will have to monitor carefully. We have to balance things that are hard to get and feel rewarding vs things that are ludicrous to get and make people want to stop playing.

Honestly it will take a little time to get it right.

Speaking of tweets I asked these two on Twitter to you and Darren about 4 days ago with no reply. Are they too specific to be answered yet, or are the items in question still in development?

  • When crafting recipes in the Forge will we see the possible inscriptions we could incur, and the percentage ranges before we craft the gear/weapon?
  • Do some weapons/gear roll specific inscriptions for that type of weapon/gear, or are all inscriptions RNG based and we could incur any of the 100 or so inscriptions in the database pool?

No.

Yes. There are a different pools for different things, we probably won’t share all the details of that. Not yet anyway.

Awesome work! Looks like a movie poster for a Michael Bay movie. ;)

May we have a dedicated Stream Thread for this coming Live Stream? I really do think people would enjoy being able to chat, and post comments and thoughts here as the Stream is taking place.

Please, and Thank you!

I think we’d be interested in this as well. :)

Cheers.

Yes as u/AnthemJavelin states. It’s just a Twitter notifications thing u/BenIrvo, but your replies still pop up through the discord feed I created so I still see them all. I always go through your tweets and replies just to double check though. :)

That’s interesting, should i not reply? And make new tweets? Then I would have to tag people though?

Lol I do that just in case anyone wants more information that I share via YouTube and Twitter.

These write-ups only take about a hour or so to do depending on how much information is shared out in the Social Media world. u/BenIrvo is the sneaky one as he likes to hide his answers like he hides his alleged koalas. :)

Overall I create this content for you and the community as I know not everyone is able to follow the info as much as I can.

I hide my answers?? How? I don’t mean to :)

You guys are the best. I will dedicate my Storm Thor build to you.

Unless you are Australian you can’t play a Thor build. It’s in the code. Soz.

Any chance on a Christmas present allowing us to get a chance to jump in before January? That alone would bring me tears of joy.

Nope :(

That was a seriously great stream!

Question though...for the storm, if a group of enemies are primed with lightning damage and I detonate that with a lightning detonator for the combo the electrical aoe will spread to the enemies. Does the aoe damage stack? Meaning a group of 5 enemies all hit with lightning will all damage eachother?

Yep

I was originally looking into wether or not Anthem would have cross platform play. While it looks like that may or may not happen, I ran into an article that spoke about cross platform saves instead.

This would solve a major problem for me in that I actually have a need to play it on both PC and PS4. My wife has a disability that prevents her from being able to sit up at a desk and play PC games anymore. It's just too inconvenient to use a M/KB setup laying down and controller support for games on PC is a shit show most of the time. So, she has pretty much moved to being a console gamer. She is all about Anthem right now as she loves pretty much everything to do with BioWare so I already bought two copies of Anthem for us on PS4. But...I have a lot of friends that will be playing on PC and don't min...

A Producer Bromance Emerges

Gameplay Producer Darrin McPherson and Lead Producer Ben Irving sat down with the Anthem community to present the highly anticipated stream covering loot and progression. It was a stream filled with new information such as loot rarities, random rolls called, gear score, new passive slots unveiled, how combos/statuses work, and even some gameplay with a high powered Ranger at the end. We’ll cover these in their own sections one by one to ensure that we are able to cover them thoroughly and clearly. You can watch the entire stream here.

Before we begin, we should point out the disclaimer that Ben gave n...

so any status effect from any Javelin can be combo'd with your javelin's specific Combo effect. so regardless of freeze, electric, acid, fire, all 4 status effects will always prime for my javelins Combo effect? i guess im just trying to understand what exactly you mean when you say the status effect applied does not matter.

Yes. What you said.

So I know we will get different landing animations and a victory pose. But for the love of god I want a few different flying animations. The base ones are ok atm but I want the classic superman one arm out extended while the other arm is close to his chest/stomach. 2 arms out and when you change directions if you go left the right arm slides back like your breaking and same for the other side. Maybe have a flying attack in are one arm cocked back ready to punch a mob in air. atm we only have a ground pound while in air when you try to melee. I know I only put down a few examples but Id honestly think it would add to the uniqueness a lot.

Interesting idea... Can't promise anything, but I'll kick it over to the systems team 😊.
