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 do look at all the replies! 😊 (Though it's hard to respond to them all)

Contacting support is generally a good idea if you have a critical account problem - it also helps us ascertain how many people are affected when we have to triage issues.

I'll make a note of this on the active discussion section of this issue. If this is affecting your ability to play, I'd also recommend you reach out to EA help.

I really like this a lot! Thanks for sharing. :)

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

Congratulations! 😊

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.

We're working on it! 🙁

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.

Can you DM me your account name and platform? It might help us figure out what is going on.

Please reach out to EA Help, they can likely get you sorted out. https://help.ea.com/

Separately, I'll raise the issue on our side and we'll see if we can figure out what is going on.

Sorry, you're running into this. 🙁

It’s really not apples and oranges.

Think BioWare is severely underestimating how attached and invested players get to the look and feel of the loot players chase and/or use in loot-based games.

This will sting, but given the tone-deaf philosophy revealed by the comment, feel it needs to be known: the look and feel of Anthem’s loot is without a doubt the most lackluster of any loot-based game I’ve ever played. The loot grind consists almost solely of chasing intangible numbers that make enemies die faster.

Weapons do not look or feel significantly different from one another, which detracts so much from the chase. Abilities are an exception, but the actual item we chase is an icon and has no model - big miss there.

Really hope the team takes another hard look at their priorities on this topic.

I don't disagree with anything you said - as I pointed out I was explaining why we made those decisions before launch. That would be a different statement than "this is what we believe now, and we're not changing anything".

Don't deflect to focus being on your suit customization, because quite frankly, that is also fairly abysmal. I understand where you are coming from, but if that is the reasoning, then the exact same argument can be said for Anthem's suit options. Within that realm, Destiny still has it beat, along with Warframe. These are your competition. Make me decide to play Anthem over these.

I respectfully disagree. I haven't found anything 'fairly abysmal' in this subreddit yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fashionlancers/

I'm humbled that for a game barely a month old, the investments we made in suit personalization has led to such an incredibly broad spectrum of suits showcased by our players. We can always do better, and in the months to come we will - but it's a hell of a base to start from, in my very biased opinion.

Can we get some more actually released then?

Sorry - when I say 'suit personalization' I'm including everything: armor packs (which you're referring to), 6 regions of custom shaders including soft materials and coloring, metal materials, metal plating, wear states, vinyls - all of it.

But definitely acknowledged that you would all like to see more armor packs.

Comment

It's a bit of apples and oranges. In a first person shooter the gun is your character that you see on the screen - so there's much more of a personalization impact if you invest in gun looks.

In Anthem, it's a 3rd person shooter with a zoomed-out camera, so we invested pretty heavily in suit personalization since that it what your character is on the screen most of the time. The gun is typically either on your hip or mostly obscured during gameplay.

That isn't to say there isn't opportunity there, just explaining why we went one direction over the other before launch.

Comment

You are often your own harshest critic when you are so close to the product. I play with u/biowareben fairly often, and we go back and forth about all of the things we see that we want to fix. Playing a game from a design point of view isn't terribly entertaining to watch, because it's just critique after critique. Sometimes you just want to turn that switch off and just enjoy yourself. It takes a conscious effort to do so.

Comment

This is definitely not intended - we have a couple of bugs we have identified and are fixing that are mostly causing this to happen.

Are we supposed to get coin from legendary contracts?! I haven’t gotten a cent in the last 3. Better yet does anyone know how the hell you farm coins? Besides the ridiculous challenges like kill 100 ursix. I just wanna grind coin but I’m not sure how to do it.

If you check your Cortex -> Path to Glory -> Daily/Weekly, those are daily and weekly challenges that reward Coin. The rest of the Coin income for the week comes from the Alliance system. Missions themselves do not reward Coin, but the Daily and Weekly challenges to do those missions and activities do.
