Thanks again for the feedback Nullifics. So the discrepancy between duration is all based on balance calculations we did (the size of the boost you get, how easy it is to trigger, etc). In terms of melee Ranger builds, we absolutely had success internally with some really cool melee Ranger builds. We continue to review Masterworks for usefulness and balance. I’ll definitely pass this feedback on so we can review it.

Any chance the interceptor can be less useless against titans? Melee immunity is harsh, especially during Ultimate.

Also- huge THANK YOU for the responsiveness to community. You and your cohort are rocking this so far.

Just a small note, even if the melee attacks are showing as 0 for the individual melee hits during Interceptor Ult, the Ult leaves a Wraith Strike projection which attacks the boss and does damage over time. The attack still does good damage. But yes feedback noted here for the Titan, thank you.

So this is not coming out before the patch friday?

I mean, are you telling me I cant play until then?

Yeah - sorry but the entering Javelin issue is hitting people after the last mission but I personally can't help with that other than reporting another instance of it. Sorry for the hassle, I know it totally sucks.

and yes it is

Hrm. Most of the issues with no sound at all have been related to sample rate/bit depth. What type of headphones/speakers are you using? USB? Bluetooth? Wired? The more info the easier for me diagnose :)

Happy to help. I'm just glad there's a legitimate open channel of communication. For a brand this size, its unheard of. If not for you, i would've refunded by now and stopped suggesting it to my customers. Thank you.

Thank you! We are trying!

They're not. My speakers and wired headphones are set to 24/96. Bluetooth is at 16/44.1. And I think the main source of the problem is that when I connect my bluetooth headset I get two devices, one for system sound and one as a VoIP Headset which operates at 16/16 and can't be changed. I tried to disable the VoIP device but the whole headset stops working when I do that.

Yeah there is a core issue with how Frostbite handles this configuration. Are you able to set everything to 16/48 to test? Curious what that changes...

That’s what I figured, but just wanted to make sure. I can deal with the audio cutting out and having to restart. I can’t deal with not being able to even play the game.

Yep I was referring to the audio bug - the other bug is definitely being looked at right now, but I don't know what the outcome will be as of yet!

That is totally out of my wheelhouse but I will pass on the concern!

might be worth taking a look into. i have joined a quickplay and killed only the boss, and at the end only recieved one item multiple times. so is that one item only from the boss? one item only from the completion? either way seems like very little loot for both

We'll take a look - sounds a bit fishy. 😊

Is this already implemented? I've heard from some that boss loot drops were already live last night.

I don't believe the patch is live yet, no... 😊

We agree - didn't make the notes but almost eliminated in the day 1 patch!

Still not fixing the disspearing sound bug?

Still not fixing the bug where players cant interact/launch missions with their javelin in the fort or hub after completing the story?

Yep - didn't make the notes apparently - we have addressed the most common occurrence of this happening and will continue looking at ways to bulletproof it!

Like I had posted before - I've been trying since you suggested that and I haven't been able to get it in quickplay. Mostly bugged missions, or the wrong ones, plus the absurd load screens for whatever reason.

Just spoke to the designer working on this, they are trying to reproduce it - I may reach out again to get more info. Thanks again for your help!

Hopefully you don't mind this somewhat unorthodox means of reporting bugs. It's nice to know they're not being forgotten, even if they won't be fixed anytime soon. :)


Picking up ammo off the ground reloads all equipped weapons, but does not trigger effects that are triggered by reloading. I believe this is a bug (perhaps an unintentional one), as picking up ammo off the ground should never be detrimental to gameplay.

For a specific example, the 'Papa Pump' shotgun increases damage on a reload and requires you to be close to the enemy (it's a shotgun). If you kill any enemy who drops an ammo pickup, you won't be able to reload Papa Pump after the kill, and don't get the damage boost from its Masterwork effect.

Hmmm...interesting. Please report it through https://answers.ea.com/t5/Anthem/ct-p/anthem-en

And I will post to our internal slack channel.

What is your hardware configuration? Can you double check that all your audio devices/outputs are set to the same sample rate @48k?

k. Going to ping again with your user ID and see what's up. I'll report back.
