Anthem Dev Tracker

NMS recovered pretty well, though. They brought in 24 million dollars of revenue when NEXT was released last year, and their steam reviews have shifted from "mostly negative" originally to "mostly positive" now.

I think that if EA was willing to commit to fixing ME:A to the same degree that Hello was committed to fixing NMS, we could have seen a similar comeback story. There was a potentially good game in there somewhere, but it needed a ton of love to fix the blemishes and narrative problems.

Except WoW had 10x the content and features of Anthem at launch.

Hell, Anthem dont even have the most basics features like text chat, when Apex, a F2P game that was just released it have it. Only 3 raids at release, no waypoints on map features, no solo freeplay / stronghold, no locking equipment, no weapons upgrade, no weapons customization,

Now games uses the "live services" excuse to launch with barely any content. Look at BFV or Sea of Thieves. BFV is a shadow of what battlefield used to be. BF3 and BF4 got released with waaayyy more content.

That would be a HUGE hit if it's something that would be easy for you guys to do. People would love to hear loud af javelin noises the whole time they're slaughtering filthy Scar scum.

Wow. You guys are fantastic with these responses. I've played every major bioware ip since baldur's gate as a child, and this by far meets your moxy when raising the bar. From lore, to gameplay, to small things like this... THANK YOU.

I still think flight isn't fast enough though, what i'd give for an afterburner boost mode or higher max speed cap that you creep up to over time.

I’m dealing with it by replaying Dragon Age Origins (just got it on PC for the first time recently)

Puts me in a very different mindset and I mind Anthem not being out less.

Hi,

It seems the same currency is used for crafting as well as cosmetics. Will there be enough available though game play to do both?

My fear is that in game currency will be drip fed, and a player would tend to save it for crafting (because crafting has a measurable effect on gameplay) versus cosmetic (which has none), in turn feeling forced to shell out real money for cosmetics.

TLDR: Will we have to choose between power and looking cool?

So during the open demo, I tried out Freeplay only to suddenly have the mission end because one of the other people in my freeplay ended the "mission". This happened several times. Is this a feature of the full game or a bug ?

Has anyone heard if there will be time-gated crafting? Like, "this item will take 12 hours to build". Not like it will change my mind about playing the game, but I'm just not a huge fan of that kind of gameplay.

It really is satisfying to use, and I feel like even a simple change like this (making tempest strike refresh your aura on combo detonations) Would go such a long way for the Interceptors diversity as far as playstyles. It would come at a cost, requiring 1 of your 2 ability slots, but it would give you the option of playing a detonating role in a squad. Wanna team up with your buddy who runs a priming ice storm? Throw on Tempest strike and Van Damme roundhouse all the ice blocks like he did in universal soldier 2.

Cmon /u/BioCamden .....who doesn't like van Damme?

As a long time BioWare fan, this seems to be the most talkative you guys have ever been. I don't know if you can answer this, but is this a general new approach to communication for BioWare, or is it just an Anthem-only thing? Asking for a friend that loves Dragon Age...
