Just to add to this note on raid/dungeon/stronghold design:

Most games don’t have a lot of good opportunities to really just explore and appreciate endgame spaces that are usually a step above the regular play spaces aesthetically. Youguys put a lot of effort into those zones, but we only get in when we’re too busy to stop and smell the roses.

It would be nice if:

1) Not only could we not get immediately booted to a mission complete, but if there was literally no timer at all, and we could just explore once everything is dead.

2) The whole space became available on completion. My original thought was until the instance is abandoned. But I’d actually prefer if completion unlocking a separate exploration mode option. Then we could investigate a completed stronghold any time, on our own, without wasting valuable group time on sightseeing and secret hunting.

This would be a great place to stash lore items and secret stuff as well.

You’re not in a group automatically. There’s just other players in your instance is all. The demo doesn’t have the full map open so you’ll hit a boundary.

I don't think there was any tether, unless it was linked to the public event style random missions. Any time the tethering came into effect, it was when I was trying to run or fly into an area that was blacked out on the map.

If you get the loading screen of death/crash going into the mission completion screen after finishing a mission, I can personally confirm that you lose all of your rewards (but not your xp). Also your javelin unlock, if that happened to be your 11-12 level mission :(

Yep. finished it for the first time right now and I was like "what? NOTHING?"

I see that you get the rewards in the end-screen, but not knowing what it was made it incredibly underwhelming as the end to an otherwise really cool Dungeon

I think NOT having a vote kick option is ripe for abuse. What happens when someone wants to troll and just run around in circles not helping? Or worse than that your giving us no way to deal with someone who decides to spam the mic with loud noises or hate speech.

Just give us an option to play strongholds in private mode maybe?

You don't lose it. But, very in very irritating fashion, you can't see it until you complete another mission/freeplay activity.

I was doing the stronghold mission with two friends and a random joined our group (public). He proceeded to AFK and there was no way to trigger the boss fight. I saw no way to report or kick him in the menus. We messaged him, waited for 20m, and gave up. Anyone have a similar experience?

Once you notice how all your movement is accompanied by beeps, every footstep while sprinting is a beep, you can't unhear it. We get that it's a sci-fi game without a cacaphony of bleep-bloops.

Thanks in advance for disabling this.

As the title says, the PC version of Anthem feels and plays like something they just remembered to add in at the last minute.

Here is a list of things I have personally encountered in a few hours of gameplay (luckily I was amongst those who managed to login multiple times without any problems) that are honestly jarring:

The menu is very counter-intuitive, while...
