I wish the Firewall Mortar, when being aimed, would be able to be rotated horizontally left and right with LMB and RMB.

/u/biocamden plz bby can you send this idea to someone? As we cannot fire weapon or aim down sight when in the targeting for an ability, theoretically this should be possible right?

E: grammar

Hey Captain thank you for your feedback! Javelin gear is right up my alley. I’m not sure that have the programming support built in to do rotating for pre-visualization (the trajectory outline) and with the projectile/explosion but it could be useful for it and Wind Wall. I’ll pass it on to the team.

Yep. Several people pointed it out and I apologize. For some reason I thought I had seen posts that had a BioWare reply tagged, and for some reason I haven’t seen any after the demo. Keep up the good job.

No worries! And no apology needed

It’s finally time to get hands on with Anthem. The Anthem Open Demo runs from February 1-3, 2019, and it’s your chance to jump into a javelin and explore the beauty and chaos of the world you’ve heard so much about. Progress from the VIP Demo carries over to the Open Demo, so players who joined the VIP Demo will get to jump in right where they left off – with all four of their javelins in the forge.

Take a second to check out these four things you can expect from the Anthem Open Demo.

1. Visiting Fort Tarsis

The Open Demo starts in Fort Tarsis, the walled city that you call home in Anthem. It’s your hub for everything you’ll need between missions -- it’s also a space where you are protected from dangerous forces that torment the outside world. In Tarsis, you can visit the Forge and customize your javelin with loot you pick up on missions, or head to other locations in the fort – like the Enclave, the Bar, or the Arcanist Lab. This will be where you ...

Thanks! Didn’t think this would get noticed by one of you high uppers but I’m very impressed with your community out reach and I look forward to playing the heck out of the demo this upcoming week 😃

I'm no higher than you Freelancer, I'm just a geeky gamer that likes to read a lot :D

Off the top of my head:

The Forever War

Starship Troopers

Book 2 of the Expanse Series: Caliban's War

90% of the books set in Warhammer 40k and the Horus Heresy universes.

Revelation Space has a few chapters with super advanced powered armor.

All You Need Is Kill

And Armor by John Steakley

Revelation Space feels such a chore to get into, tried twice now - really want to though. Keep hearing good things! Almost done with Book 2 of Expanse, cause that show is too awesome.

Dune, Halo, The Expanse, Unbreakable (W.C. Bauers), Red Rising trilogy, Legends of the First Empire trilogy. Some may not feature battle suits, but still rather awesome reads! :)

Coming from World of Warcraft, this is more communication than what we got from Blizzard in the 6 months Battle for Azeroth has been out. So yeah, I have no idea what OP is talking about. On top of BioWare being very active on reddit, Mark Darrah, Ben Irving, Jonathan Warner and Ninja Mike are answering questions on Twitter all the time. Lack of communication is definitely not an issue here.

Special shoutout to /u/BioCamden. He's a goddamn machine!

Trying to keep up! Haha thanks Heybarbaruiva.

Like I said, when shit the fan, most devs disappear because forums turn into a begging/toxicity fest.

They were sure damn active to hype up the demo though.

Still hoping the final game will be great!

Hey we’re certainly still here and more importantly still reading and gathering feedback. As you can imagine it’s getting pretty busy around the office not only for Open Demo this weekend but also all of the plans for Launch and Live Service content already in development. That’s not an attempt at an excuse, more of an explanation. Appreciate you keeping us honest.

Don't worry Freelancer, we hear you.

Microtransactions will indeed be cosmetic only and they won't touch power. It's earnable through playing the game too. All future content when it comes to additional features and story will be made available at no extra cost.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Will we be getting any Patch Notes / info regarding todays Demo update to 1.01?

Patch notes are basically: General fixes to improve stability, such as a number of fixes to the 95% load screen issue. There were no game changes applied.

this chiptune sucks. do you actually listen to old vgm? cuz this is weak. try harder.

It's not really supposed to be a real chiptune, just a transcription of that track as a little homage. I think my current fave for chiptune soundtrack is the game "The Messenger". Have you checked that out?

I guess Storm ultimate triggers the bug. It only happened when i unlock the Storm javelin(last hours of the vip demo) and tried his ultimate. Bugs aside the sound in the game is amazing!

Thanks!

On PC my audio died mid stronghold right in the middle of a sniper charging up a shot. Couldn't troubleshoot to fix, only way I found was to restart the computer. Not sure which part of my sound pooped out, but definitely happened during a sniper sound, and it's never happened before that.

Hopefully sorted out in the release build. Keep me posted.

Well hey you've made progress on fix so awesome & now that I know my system isnt about to die having it happen in demo wont be end of world. Thanks for clearing it up for me I saw you talking about that but wont sure if was same issue.

Looking forward to launch & think you guys are doing a great job with game plus interacting with us fans. Must admit I have been very skeptical heading into the vip demo, I refused to take anything saw or heard at face value but since devs have been so open I wanted to try for myself & then judge. Well anthem won me over very quickly I still have some concerns but that's mostly cause my hype went from like 25% to 2000% & now I went soooo much more.

Anyways thank you for hard work & please keep it up

Awesome to hear! Thank you.
