hehehe...well I have been pretty busy responding to folks with issues so I haven't had enough time to dig REAL deep - I am confident about that being true, just based on my inbox which is 90% positive and respectful whilst being constructive. I just wanted to chime in on one that I liked and was being actively discussed by the team. I wasn't intending to infer that it's a rare case :)

Glad to hear! I love the game and want nothing but for it to succeed.

Thanks!

Please do not take away my ability to stack inscriptions on all pieces of gear. Add rerolling specific inscriptions, that much is needed. But absolutely do not take away from someone trying to stack +harvest on every piece of gear to enhance endgame mat collection or others that want to experiment with inscriptions and builds. That's all I ask.

Noted!

The only issue OP brought up that should be relevant at the moment (Ealry Access) is the inscription information. Other changes can/will come down in time as the game grows. Although maybe passing along that Masterwork/Legendary items should only have 1 other weapon inscription on it, instead of having 3 different weapons when we can only use 2 at a time... but again the tweaks will come in time. Thanks for the hard work on the game so far!

Thanks!

The people who designed this game did a ton of research and are avid Diablo/Destiny/Division players - it's really hard to make something 'new' (that isn't any of those things) and nail it out of the gate. We had ideas, some will work and some most definitely won't.

Now that it's hitting the general public we will see what's working and what isn't in real time and be able to make changes in order to FIX these issues and give people a great experience long term (if they will stick with us or consider coming back). Either way, I don't think the problem is having 'no idea' - it's having a different idea and be willing to try to create that.

It's not perfect but hopefully together we can make it as close to perfect as possible :)

I'm currently farming GM1/GM2, freeplay & legendary contracts with a bunch of friends.

When more people reach this stage (you'll be farming GM1 for masterwork & legendary items once you reach level 30) people will really see how poorly the loot system works.

Before I point out the big flaws with the system, let me start off with saying that I absolutely LOVE the gameplay, the flying and the combo system, it's insanely fun and BW nailed it.

  1. When you get a MW/Leg item drop, the affixes can be completely useless which is EXTREMELY underwhelming & frustrating. I do not want 20% Harvest Bonus on my Seal, neither do I want Pistol 18% Ammo as an affix. The difference between getting 20% Harvest bonus and getting 100% Element Damage or getting 200% Gear damage is HUGE. The game should give you relevant affixes to your weapons/seal/components, but the numbers should differ so have a sense of "always progressing" by getting higher percentage stats on your aff...

This is really useful and constructive feedback - It's being actively discussed in our live ops channel. Not sure what the outcome will be, but I wanted to call out this post as a great example of how we need work together to address issues. Thanks for posting.

Hey. Sorry to be a nuisance, but where are we on this?

So it looks like some folks had crashed out during 'Finding Old Friends' and it bugged their plot data on the server.

Can you try doing a quickplay of that mission again and re-completing it and see if that changes anything? Let me know either way, we are still actively looking at this for you and many other folks!

Also was Finding Old Friends available to do (outside of quickplay) after you crashed out? Trying to debug.

That couldn't have gone more perfectly, first quickplay I joined was that quest....at the end of the final encounter, pretty much just watched it load in then back to Fort Tarsis. Can confirm that has opened up the tabs in my Cortex now, will go check the doors now! Edit: Yep when i go to the doors the quest/challenge pops up with progress bars, seems we have the fix.

Sweet! Feel free to kick off a thread for this, a lot of folks are hitting it.

First scenes/missions are not on the server, technically, but keep me posted!

Well here is my screenshot anyhow! https://imgur.com/YE2aHUo But ill go give that a shot! I had to try that mission 4/5 times before it stopped crashing after the cut scene and having to start again...guess watching the cut scene one final time is better than starting the entire game over.

Thanks - keep me posted.

From another user who solved this (at least in their case): I posted the solution in a reply to the parent of my comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/ark1lb/cannot_progress_past_challenges_of_the/egnpfc1/

I'll summarise here anyway.

Game crashed on me after the cutscene of the mission before the tomb section unlocks (Finding old friends). This meant that the 'Finding Old Friends' achievement never unlocked for me, and this seems to be what was causing the issue.

I jumped into quickplay until I managed to find a group doing the 'Finding old Friends' mission, finished the mission without crashing and then I could see the requirements for the challenges both in my cortex and outside the tombs. None of them were started or completed (and I heard from other sources that they are meant to be retroactive) but I completed them all and have now progressed on with the story.

Just to ...

Hrm. Can you post a screen of what you are seeing?

Something went awry when the boss hit the critical level of health which was supposed to trigger the cinematic. Usually cinematics load instantly, this is the first time I'd seen a loading screen for one. Even had unique "cinematic is loading" artwork I'd not seen before. Guessing it's either a trigger issue or a memory one.

Wouldn't have been my PC being overloaded, running an 8700k, 32gb ram, nvme m.2 ssd. Typical all my loads are fast, well, fast for Anthem.

K. Will loop back.

Which screen specifically? I have nothing under "challenges" in the cortex that relates to the mission. Under Journal > critical objectives is the only place it seems to be logged.

Looks like this:

Ha thanks man cause im a right f**ker xD Not an audio thing i'm experiencing, tbh thats about the only thing that seems to work right for me, so well done? Certainly not the only person with the issue, the tombs have bugged out on me when i go to them i just get a blank screen where i assume it should be giving me a quest with "space/esc to continue" in the bottom right hand corner...at this point i have, rebooted the game, my pc, the router, repaired repaired via origin, and even forwarded ports just in case. So i've essentially been totally stuck on the "challenges of the legionnaires" since yesterday with no way to progress. Submitted an official support ticket, nothing yet. Seen multiple people with the same issue, I know one guy got around it by making a new account, but id sooner refund the game than do that. Origin ID is deadlegs1991

Thanks - can you capture screens of your challenges UX? They have been asking me for those when I post to the channel.

TeslaDotIO. Haven't had any luck. A couple crashes, a freeze, but mostly 95%. Didn't have any issues at all in the open demo. I've gone through almost 4 hours of the trial and I haven't made it past the first loading screen >.>

Posted to the slack channel - will let you know of any updates!

Thanks Jer, I know you guys are probably as pissed as we are when stuff like this happens. I can put up with a lot of bugs, but when you've been going the "completionist" route and have done every main quest, side mission, dialogue option, and cortex entry.... to have the last act completely stripped from you is pretty f**ked.

Also go report it in the Answers HQ site - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Anthem/ct-p/anthem-en

This will maximize coverage.

I would like to help all f*ckers :)

I own the audio experience for the game, so there is a LOT of stuff I have no idea how to fix, I can only facilitate debugging/repro with the support team and I am happy to do it for you.

I need a detailed description including Origin ID/Gamertag and we can try to take a look!
