I understand, what about element specific outline that would be slighty visible in Forge while you are messing around with your skill items? That is all but QoL to save some time looking for element specific items. On top of that, item sorting that is element based.
Yeah we will certainly be focused on quality of life improvements after launch (starting now really). We’re gathering a lot of UI feedback especially.
Honestly, for PC, I think that's the largest issue. I can make do with somewhat odd controls, but I can't do with such a restricted FOV.
The game could also be optimized a bit better, if that's possible... medium settings at 1440p, on an i7 6700k, gtx 1070 and 16gb ram and I'm getting sub 50 FPS in missions :/ yikes
Yeah I may have mentioned this before but there was quite a bit of focus on optimization and performance that I believe occurred after this demo build was branched. I can’t say for sure how much we can expect to see improved but stay tuned.
For console players, will our chosen consoles friends list count towards the alliance? Or do we need to add players through the game for this work?
Yes, we're using your PSN/Xbox/Origin friend list.
@ u/BenIrvo and Bioware team: Is there a way to friend a person in game? I can't seem to find a way to do it.
You can send a friend request to someone you are on an expedition with via the Social menu. At launch, in the social hub, you can also interact with that person to bring up Social Tools and invite them.
any chance we could also get a sprint by default option
Seems like it would be possible, but why not just fly? :D
I thought I heard it only counts your Top 5 friends.
This is correct!
Can you clarify what you mean by people on my friendslist playing without me? Does that mean the more people on my friendslist who play anthem, the more coin I get each week?
No - we only count the top 5 friends each week. There is no benefit to piling up your friend list other than having lots of people to play with.
So how it works is:
You play the game with or with your friends.
Your friends play the game with or without you.
You are earning progress through the Alliance system as you play, and building a bigger and bigger bucket as you progress through the different tiers of the system.
As your friends play, they are filling that bucket with their own xp (plus a large bonus for being your friend).
At the end of the week, we tally the top 5 contributors to your Alliance and you are awarded based on how much they filled the bucket you created.
So if i am a solo player without friends on origin, am i screwed?
Not at all! We also reward you for playing with anyone else ('randoms'). This is represented by one bucket, which would take the place of a slot a friend would fill.
That was awesome!!!
Thank you for the response /u/BioWareJer ! It may not be your specific team's area, but I've added some (smaller) feedback in another comment which may have been missed, i'll repost here:
- The Keybind text for Melee on 'Mouse Button' is a bit out of place, maybe needs moving more over to the right? (Mouse 5 in the image below):
- Ability to mouseover or view (on console) the 'medal' like things in the post-match screen. I can see they are gold/silver/bronze emblems and I might have picked them up during the activity, I don't know what they mean by looking at the icons? Just a suggestion!
Thanks! Noted
