How many players will the alliance system in anthem support, many of us are a member of several social media platforms totaling thousands of future freelancers. It would help tremendously to know how many players per alliance as we try to organize in anticipation for such a social game experience as Anthem.
Currently it rewards based on your top 5 contributors.
With things like 'Legendary Contracts', would I be correct in assuming that playing these on hard would yield better rewards than playing it on normal mode?
There is a modifier to loot drops based on difficulty, so in short, yes.

Great post! Again and again and again :)
Seeing as the game is basically 1 month from release (3 weeks if that 7 days early access works the way i think it works). Bioware employs at large must be in the thick of it, long hour, lost sleep, being far from loved ones, strained relationships and the real human cost of bringing a project across the finish line.
Say what you will about the game, the post launch complains that maybe or doubts associated with the publisher (or the ''money men'') but lets not forgot every single person that spent long hours, stressing and putting every ounce of effort they had in to the task they had at hand to create this game.
From the QA tester, to Lead Programmer or a Voice Over Resource Producer, it took something out of everyone to make this happen.
So i think that we as a community can come together, wish them luck and steadfastness on the coming days. But also thank them, as individuals for all the efforts put in to this.
Thanks!
Hell yeah! Thanks for noticing haha. I keep trying to convince /u/biochrisschmidt to give me all vanity unlocks until the end of time... so far no luck.
O.O
Will cosmetic items bought with coin be time exclusive? Or will any cosmetic be available permanently?
There will be both
I’m excited that YOU’RE excited!
I am also excited that you're excited. But I'm only a little excited Camden is excited. I have to throttle the excitement inputs.
I think this will be crucial and with how transparent they have been already I’m confident they’ll eventually release one. As of right now I’ve not heard anything about one though. Have they mentioned anything about creating one once the game launches? Just something I would love to see so the community has a solid reference to how they plan on expanding the game.
Stay tuned...
how long does it take playtime to earn enough coins for a cosmetic like 24 hours? or is it resonable??
Tough to say. It depends on the thing you want, how much you play, and what kind of things you do when you play. Can you buy the entire catalog by playing 30min a day? No. Can you target a thing you want, then save up some Coin by playing the game in order to buy it? Yes - but again it depends on the quality of the thing you want. Cooler stuff usually costs more. Hopefully that makes sense.
Will be there any world/region chat except your javelin team? Quest hub chat? Optional player made channels..etc?
No text chat at launch, no. But we hear you :)
What will they be locking behind “premium currencies”? What won’t I be able to get just by playing the game?
Not locked behind "premium currency", but you will not be able to obtain pre-order nor Legion of Dawn items by playing the game. For those you must either pre-order or buy the Legion of Dawn edition.
Other than that, nothing.
Do they work for free play sessions as well?
It should work for any expedition, including Freeplay. 😊
In less then 1 week we get access to the VIP demo, and after that everyone gets access to it on the 1st. We'll get a taste but then have to wait a couple more weeks for the actual release. What I was wondering is since we will have a good portion of the game downloaded before then, could we still have access to our Javelins in order to play around with the cosmetic aspect? probably a lot to ask but it would still be fun to play around with that feature while we wait for release.
Sadly I don't think we can do this, it's a bit complicated... but basically if you want to play any part of the game, we need various servers active.
With the time left and everything else going on this is pretty unlikely... Especially on such a short timeline - sorry! 😊
I don't believe anyone from BioWare has explained them, but it's safe to assume they'll be like consumables in Mass Effect MP: one-time consumables which give you a boost for the mission, like +20% shields or -15% shield recharge delay.
In Mass Effect one of the slots was for ammo, which meant that you could equip special ammo which applied fire, frost, or some other status for detonation. But unless I missed a comment/explanation from BioWare, we can only guess what specific items will be available.
Basically this. You can craft them using mats, and then use them for various buffs that will last for the whole mission 😊.
Absolutely! That's still cosmetics purchased from currency earned from playing the game. I think there is speculation at least that there will be a large amount of cosmetics that are separate from the currency earned in game and only from a 'premium' currency source we have to straight up pay for.
Not a thing. If we sell it for 'premium' you will have another way to obtain it by playing the game. There are no 'premium only'.
Oh so arrival mechanics are when you load into a friends game? Can you tell me a little more about them? Are they like Destiny2's respawn animations? Sorry for all the questions but the animations are the only thing not really covered in the customization stream.
It's the animation that plays when you enter the game (like a superhero landing), whether you're starting a new mission or joining halfway through.
