I was very angry at first and took my heat out on a lot of people. I kind of regret it now.. now that I cooled off, you can be sure to see me in the future as a supporting long term fan

Thanks for that Inferntality, I know it’s maddening. Loading and login screens are pretty triggering. I appreciate your understanding here.

Are you guys and EA aware of the Friend Pass feature not working properly? The web site that is supposed to give us the codes is not working and the in-game links are not working aswell

Yes I believe Mike commented on that. Mixed results on that page right now.

I appreciate you checking in with us. As an Xbox user it's frustrating to know the demo is entirely dysfunctional on my system. It's getting late so it's hard to know if we should just give up at this point so it's good to know people are still working on it. I seriously hope yall stick with this project and make it functional, I've been a long term Bioware fan but I'm feeling really burned with how Andromeda was handled.

I love the game yall are creating and hope it makes it beyond this.

I hear you and appreciate your patience Nac.

it appears as if there is a minor issue on the actual demo page of the anthem website? attempting to view it just shows me only the footer of the page -- also, despite being told when the page was functioning that I have been given access on my EA account to the VIP demo via a friend referral, I still cannot seem to even make it past the login screen, telling me that I don't have access.

I was getting that myself earlier. My guess would be the load on EA help and EA.com right now is pretty high. I was able to load the pages eventually. Sorry I don’t have more info.

You know what would be nice? Being able to complete an expedition without it getting hung up at a freaking loading screen... or logging in.. in trying to join a friend.. some decent bug fixes for a near two month old build would be nice.. its totally souring my taste of the game so far

Yes infinite loading screens is I believe something the team is still looking into.

Before u go, So I had deleted my old email alias from Xbox but anthem sees only my old one not my new one where my demos linked to. I uninstalled and reinstalled same thing, tried to use old email to see if I could switch and it does not give me an option. How do I fix???

Think that one can be fixed by Customer Experience, they should be able to correct and update Xbox account associations.

I will take that as a we have no idea. I dont feel very much like a vip today.

More than likely that’s me coming across as having no idea, which is partially true. The team working into this is far better at this than I am, I just didn’t want to leave y’all high and dry when I said I wouldn’t. Just reinforcing that we know about the problems and frustrations and we’re doing what we can to address both.

Hey, the latest news is that PC is supposed to be able to play now, but I'm getting an infinite looping loading screen -> splash screens and cannot connect to live serivces error. Is there a way to fix this?

I believe infinite load screens is still something we’re looking into. I know some folks have had success waiting on loading screens. But I can’t speak to your specifics.

Wait! Before you go! When the "connecting to online servers" disappears on Xbox, do we need to restart the app, or is it still doing work in the background!

If you haven’t received an error message And it’s hanging/not loading my guess is that it’s probably worth a restart at that point, but that’s just a guess. Not sure Purp.

Just give us an eta on xbox. Should I even bother trying tonight? If you guys think the xbox issue is not going to be fixed tonight please tell us so we are not sitting here all night twiddling our thumbs.

I can’t say I have an eta Ryan, I’m sorry about that. Some of these live emerging issues aren’t something that we can estimate until we know for sure. Sorry I don’t have more on that.

Hey everybody, I just wanted to pop in during the thick of it and say sorry to those who haven’t been able to get in yet. We know many of you pre-ordered, took off work, or made plans with friends to play today and that time is valuable to you. We’re doing what we can, and our priority right now is to get everybody in.

Our Live team has been digging into it all day and will continue to do so. We’ve made progress but we know there are still issues and we’re still looking into them. I don’t have much more info, but felt it important to check in. Thanks for your patience so far.

Please make sure that you’re following the latest tweets from Mike Gamble for updates on issues (...

Ignoring the login/server issues, the most annoying bug so far is this weird aim lock/control lockout that I keep getting. Happened in this clip:

Was totally locked out of any movement controls and I couldn't move my crosshair, all I could do was shoot. Then eventually it "snaps" back into my control. This is happening fairly frequently.

Enemies also keep phasing in and out at very odd times. Feels like I'm playing world of warcraft with their sharding system:

Quest objectives to kill enemies also end very strangely. It seems like after you kill X amount of e...

As someone whos colourblind, it helps me tremendously when games have HUD colourblind setting but the current colourblind settings (at least on the menu, i havent been bale to get in yet :( ) in anthem are colour overlays over the whole screen.I really dont want to play this game with everyone looking likes Smurf but i will struggle to see the HUD if i dont.

Overwatch did had colourblind settings that put an overlay over the whole screen which they recently changed and love their new colourblind accessibility.

I know only around 5-8% of poeple are colourblind so it might only be a tiny percent of your player base, which i can understand it wont be very high on your priority list, if its even on it. but i would be amazing for the people who rely on colourblind settings to see things clearly.

Edit: Thank you for the silver kind stranger! :)

This is a very valid suggestion and I will make sure that it gets through to the dude that works away on the UI.

Hello, Would be really cool to left or right click and add personal waypoints on map.
That's all.

Submitted this feedback through to the team, great suggestion!

Looks like your game doesn't work with multiple videocard in a PC. I've went through a lot of hoops trying to be able to start the demo and was only able to after I disabled the rest of my videocards excluding the main one. Can you pass that to your technical department so me and other people with multiple videocard wouldn't need to disable them to play Anthem?

Will do Naurloss, we typically have SLI running here onsite with our test kits and it’s works ok. You may want to hit up EA Help for some tech support.

1) Thanks for the answer.
2) Bit more info on this if possible please. For example I'm on EU and my friend is on NA, how will that exactly play out ping wise for both of us since you worded it as we will get assigned to a server instead of us picking one?
3) Assume checking ping through Resource Monitor will do the trick then since that's the usual method.
Still a way to show your ping would be a very welcomed feature if possible.
Thanks again for answering.

I believe it match makes based on who the party leader is
