There should be a distinct audio cue for spawning enemies and, if possible, some kind of audio cue to let you know where they are on the map (i.e. a distinct walkie talkie squelch, or some kind of Destiny or Metal Gear patrol-like chatter between enemies)

When an ally is knocked out of the fight, there should be an audio cue (i.e. "Freelancer/Javelin Down") so you know to go repair them.

The Colossus jets during flight didn't sound too good as well. I hope you addressed it for the release :)

Does the same apply to everyone who has access to the demo? Meaning people who would have gotten in with the refer-a-friend

u/biocamden If anyone is still looking at this thread - I had something happen that I'm not sure I've seen mentioned (apologies if it has). After running the Stronghold with friends, they left and I switched Javs and hopped into Freeplay with randos. When I ended the expedition, the victory screen showed my Javelin and friends from the previous Stronghold and not the current Javelin I had equipped.

Respawn mechanic could use some work. It would almost work better to give us a 30 second timer to spawn after if teammates can’t get to us in time. And then in harder difficulties and strongholds, modify the timer to be longer or disabled completely. The current system definitely needs work though. You get stuck with the wrong team and you sit there dead for an entire expedition. Or sit there for 2-5 minutes waiting to be revived. Or drown underwater and die and be stuck there the rest of the mission due to your team moving ahead.

Encounter with Sovereign on Virmire was one of my favourite moments in gaming of all time, it was perfect from an audio standpoint - I hope we get something similarly awesome and chilling in Anthem as well. :)

Will it be fixed in the open demo this weekend?

Glad you guys agree! Also hats off to you man, the music and sound sound great in the demo! I'm totally looking forward to the main game and the cinematics!!

I've heard that the NPC's in Fort Tarsis don't make any noise when getting up close to them. Is this is a sound bug, or just a design decision? Does it become noisier as more of Fort Tarsis becomes unlocked?

One thing I noticed:

We were just a small sample size of around 7 people. The two people who were on the pro never had the issue on PS4. But of the other 5 who had OG PS4s, IIRC 3-4 of them got the bug where they claim the audio just shuts off.

I had a question /u/BioCamden or any other bioware dev as I haven't yet found it.

Will the open beta have a fix for the 95% loading bug on console. I ask because I saw somewhere it is possibly a client side bug, and consoles require certification which may prevent it from being fixed timely. I'm worried that if my friends playing the open beta have to deal with that bug they'll get frustrated with the game, leaving me with no one to play with when it fully releases.

Consider the balance implications. 4 interceptors have little risk of wiping because they can alternate free rez. Not even single boss, we're talking the entire stronghold, especially given the potential of ult cooldown reduction. Your "hardest content" just became a breeze.

Outside of the super-coordinated abuse case, there's no thought to using your ult to rez a teammate on hard+. It's always the best use of it because 2 javelins are always greater than one, unless the enemies just happen to be near dead. The majority of the time that wont be the case.

Teams will definitely relegate their interceptors to that support role, flaming them when the ult is used to kill a couple elites or a handful of mobs that everyone has to now kill a second time anyways. I know if this remains as-is, I will be forced to main interceptor once lvl30 and our 2 ints will be forced to use our ults to rez and prevent wipe. It's by far better than anything I could bring to the table with...

I personally love the feel of wraith strike, it looks amazing. I just saw it more of an extension of the javelin so that's why I thought itd be cool if it could carry the aura. Like you said u/Biocamden if it even is possible it would just give more opportunities for the interceptor to be efficient in late game play. Cause if the stats are true for GM 3 it's a death wish to run up in a crowd of enemies as the speedy boi javelin. These were really my suggestions, I just felt Spark dash can be utilized more so if it had that effect of being an evasion maneuver plus I noticed it cant be used vertically? Not certain why.

I'll just have to practice with the cluster mine to get the full feel of its effects.

I just felt there wasnt a lot of combo capabilities as the inty, most of the gear just do a base damage instead of status effects or impact. (This is mostly in consideration to solo play) when you are with a team however you can get combos le...

Something that came up in another thread that might be diagnostically relevant is that I have a 144Hz monitor. Someone else said they also had one, and were getting similar stuttering until they set it to 60Hz. I'll test it out next weekend and see if that makes a difference.

Sorry for bothering but regarding the PC build, has there been discussion (internally) about FPS cap setting either ingame or in the config files? So using vsync doesn't have to be the only way to limit fps, for example the loading screens get to over 1000fps so it gets pretty warm and loud for no reason really.

Other big issue is that when you put the game out of focus (alt tab) it forces the game out of fullscreen everytime and you have to press alt enter multiple times to get back to fullscreen, so overall it's rather unstable.

The option "mute when the game is out of focus" doesn't work too, i think these are connected. Alt tabbing back and fourth should be a smooth process and the game should stay in fullscreen until you manually change it to borderless or windowed! Hope these are known issues

Edit: is it something to do with resolution possibly? Some sort of a bug with resolution acting out when the game is out of focus like not wanting to keep the na...

Never cleared up, tried all of that many times, never was able to play.

Since data persists, no reason to think I can play next weekend.

I need someone's help on the account side, I've asked for a reset each time EA call/chat, have not got it. I do know they interfaced with you guys, got a workaround suggested at the end but it relied on my getting in a free play and completing it. I was never able to play/join/do any expedition, this was no exception. Again guessing as I was a level 0 no Forge no mission would ever resolve.
