Anthem Dev Tracker

I believe there is a glitch that causes you to occasionally swap levels with friends/recommended people, which may explain some things. I made this post a few weeks ago where my 450 (pre-buff) colossus showed as power level 81 for a bit. In the same instance, I received only common/uncommon items (before that change as well) for the first few chests. I found out after making that post that my friend (just on my list, wasn't playing with them or anything) was a level 81 colossus at that time. I know there's other people experiencing a similar issue pretty much permanently, only getting common/uncommon items while doing GM1+ stuff, so possibly related.

Dagwood. Best ever. No matter how much I like Anthem, that sandwich, at that time, was a cataclysm all its own to me. Loved it. Thanks for asking btw.... :) Sorry for the snark, I truly love the game, but there's a few issues (looooaaaddd screens) that make it a tough love for me.

Whatever you guys do, please don't delay the loading of the game just to finish the animation. Getting into the game faster is I think our highest priority.

If the animation could play during the loading time, that would be ideal, since there is plenty of time to watch the entire animation during loading, and it wouldn't cost us extra time getting into the game.

How about drop quality?

I don't think there's been any discussion about item drop frequency variance, indeed it seems stable, but there's a ton of discussion about quality, which is most definitly affected by factors such as pilot level and luck.

Just curious... do you say that because that's how you know it's coded, or because testing was done in-game to confirm this after the adjustment last week, or both?

To be clear, I'm not trying to be overly critical or a jerk or anything. I'm just genuinely curious about how it's confirmed on your side. I'm sure quite a few people are a little skeptical about things that are unconfirmed via in-game testing, but just "That's what the code says, so that's how it is." because of things like the Lvl 1 rifle bug, etc that have shaken confidence a bit. Thanks for taking time to post on the sub. It's really awesome that so many of you take time to engage this and other social media communities. :D

Ok that make sense. Thank you for confirming it. Sorry about the extra comment but you replied quicker then I expected before I could edit links but the shared drop rate on power level presented in this post is just a coincidence I assume?

Good to know. Can you reassure us that the loot update is still in place? A lot of players in this subreddit are reporting that their loot seems to have dropped off in the last two days. It feels like it did before the update.

I ran GM3 for an hour and only ended up with 3 MWs, no legendaries. I ran GM2 for four hours and only got 2 MWs. This is with 96% luck. That seems low, way lower than how great the loot was on Friday.

I know that's a small sample size, and if you say this is just variance, ok. But it seems like a huge dropoff, and a lot of people are reporting the same thing.

Can you comment on why power level effects the drop chance of MW/legendary items? Higher power level you are the more they drop.

Mods unlocked the thread so I'll put this here now.

In regards to the damage formula, the primary concern is that too many things stack additively as opposed to multiplicatively. Currently, damage is calculated as follows:

DAMAGE = (Base * (1+A)*B*(1+C)*D*E)+1

where

• A is sum of all damage bonuses on gear.
• B is the base crit multiplier of your weapon/ability.
• C is the sum of all critical damage modifiers
• D is the damage type modifier (things like Lightning doing more damage to shields)
• E is the sum of all debuff modifiers. Currently just Target Beacon/Taunt (33% each and they don't stack with each other) and Acid (25%) for a Max of +58% damage.

The issue here is that almost...

You could increase Drop Rates to stop People from writing down their frustration here. I'm sure that would ease the Mods hard Work a lot.

Hello Brenon

Different issue if you monitor the millions of replies you get to posts...

The blue sigil blue prints; I was awarded items instead of the blueprint

Do I contact support for that? Or is it an incoming patch that would fix something like that?

I love you so much.

Also got my first legendary for the correct class this morning.

Please fix legendary components for the wrong class.

I have loved this game since early access, 150 hours. After 1.03, I have gotten four legendary components for classes i don't play, and zero for the class I play.

I'm not even gonna pull punches. It's depression-triggering. I haven't had a problem with the loot grind in any versions of the game until this began to happen. Every time I get a legendary now, I cringe and await the heartbreak.

Just have posted a ticket to EA support forum. So there is too early.

However i have found people with same problem:https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Wrong-payment-info/td-p/7578025

However they don't have an blueprint item (or they didn't notice). They have the same error and they suggest to play without sigils. But that's not an option. I'd rather don't play than play as a weak ineffective party member.
