The 79.99 version of the game will get you all the stuff in the game. The origin priemere service is something more akin to Netflix where you pay a subscription service and get access to a lot of EA and EA Partner games. The delta that exists between the two mainly is this, with Preimere you get access 10 days early but would lose access to the game in 1 year if you havent renewed the service or bought the LoD product as a standalone.

Premiere is also available for only a month.

Hi Stronghold Lead u/BiowareBen, any word on the tuning of the Scar Hunters? Even on normal they feel too dangerous for the amount of shield/hp they have. I've had so many groups wipe to pairs or triplets of these it's nuts. They are incredibly tanky for the amount of damage they do. I feel like in general easy is a bit too easy but normal is a bit too hard.

Other than that, the game is amazeballs. Congrats on what I hope will be a huge hit. I think the vast majority of us love the game and can't wait for end of Feb. Also don't let them add PvP. Thanks :)

I love this tag team thing going on. So yes we actually have been revisiting all shielded enemies this week (across all difficulties) and will likely have some pretty good balance changes going in for launch. That said we’ll continue to tweak and tune these values after launch too if they continue to feel off.

Until then don’t forget that lightning and ice damage do extra against energy shields while acid and fire damage do less.

Are you going to continue this communication and community support when the full game launches?

Personally, I am going to continue as long as I have something to say. My general pattern is when I am on a project I will go dark for a few years because nothing is really publicly available so there isnt much for me to talk about. Then as we get closer to launch and senior staff start talking about things I start engaging. Then I will continue talking to people for some time post launch.

I am mainly known for spending my time in the ME3MP community.

so tl;dr: ill be here as long as I feel I have something to contribute, and I am not super busy :)

I really appreciate you taking the time to write that, thank you!

I just want you to know that the game is absolutely fantastic. The diversity in playstyles between Javelins and fast paced, fluid combat is a joy. With the wide diversity of loot and potential build opportunities available, like many others I look forward greatly to the full experience.

I absolutely understand that the build is an older one and your focus on further optimisation for the final build and branching development paths between the demo and the final product is a very reassuring answer. I will create a follow up post including your response since, like myself, there were a number of people understandably concerned about this issue.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to respond. It really is appreciated and Bioware's communication with the community as a whole throughout this entire process has been exceptional. There are many studios that should take a leaf out of your book....

Thank you for caring and being invested! I imagine that any further updates for optimization will be included in our patch notes after launch. Also please continue to post feedback about it (or anything else really.

Alright so I played until I got into a game with other players and that worked fine with text set to English.. I changed back to Japanese as you requested and I can no longer get in, so long as it’s Japanese.

Thank you it's being tracked now, I have a feeling it is resolved for the main game, sorry for the inconvience

Since you seem really active on Reddit. What do you think about melee weapons in Anthem?

Anything is possible, I know our designers are really talented and have a lot up their sleeves.

At first I was like, Oh No! Then I was like, please please please. Then finally, I smiled.

Wow it started! Thank you so much! I only changed the game language to English and it connected.

Any chance you can go back to the main menu and change it back to Japanese? Wondering if there is an initialization issue.

It says, ‘Anthem couldn’t connect to the live service’

The actual message is in Japanese due to being in japan on a Japanese Xbox:

“接続エラー 「Anthem」ライブサービスを取得できませんでした”

Could you try and change your console language (I saw a report of this fixing it for someone but I am not sure, but would help in tracking down if this was the case)

You don't lose it, it will be rewarded the next time you reach the end of expedition screen.

Can you provide the exact problem you are seeing?

Comment

Why? Why did you have to do that at the end? :(
