I’m just hyped for priming melee. Then I can run priming melee, ralners, and dual detonators. Imagine the speed of interceptor melee detonating but priming. Quicc bois and Thicc bois unite!

Testing. Testing.
I really didn’t mean it that way. I meant that it was complicated, and we made it complicated. You all didn’t like it so we removed it.
So to be clear, luck was a bad idea, it was our bad idea so we removed it.
That’s very cool. Get it? :)
You LFM?? ;p
It’s all I want right now...
Nice!
Theres a difference between knowing basic knowledge of the game you're behind and not knowing specific percentages of coding that's even hidden to players.
I think the power level of end game gear falls under basic knowledge for anyone who's played more than 1 hr of end game.
Just shows to me honestly you dont play your own game
But I do know them, and I got them right on stream?
It was confusing in the moment because we talked about them changing so much during the week before the stream, I had to think for a moment to remember what was live vs what we were changing to, vs the other options we talked about and decided against.
I’ll likely stop responding now but thanks to the people offering support, that’s really nice. Thanks also to the people who are being complimentary of Chris and Jesse - they really did do a great job on the stream!
Ben
Yea that blew my mind. I wrote him off after that Im not really interested in hearing anything Ben has to say. Hopefully someone can find another wedding for him to go to
Wow. Relax friend. Sometimes you are tired and don’t recall everything at every point in time.
They did a great job on the stream yesterday! It was awesome to watch!
Read moreFirst, I want to thank you for writing this up. I appreciate the honesty of how you (and others) feel about the current state of things. I also want to say that I can’t talk about everything, simply because it is not my area of expertise, or because I don’t have the information you’re looking for. I stand by our statement of being transparent though and will continue to do so here and on other channels.
Now, I want to address some of your points that I can:
Communication -
Pre-game release vs Post game release –
To start, things used to be a lot friendlier here for dev team members who normally don’t talk on social channels or forums. They could answer questions, give information and know that they aren’t going to have people getting upset at them. Why would a dev team member take time away from working on the next update to post when they know it’s likely to be met with hostile replies, or they get flamed because can’t answer ot...
Thanks Jesse :)
What time we all coming over tonight?
Gamers we knew were particularly knowledgeable on the inner workings of the game
Yeah, so knowledgeable they don't know what Inscriptions are called or what Mark of Ruin is.
I definitely don’t know everything in my head at every moment. That is true.
This is a nice message. We know we have work to do. Stuff like this keeps us going.
The biggest thing we can ask for is if you have criticisms, make them constructive. In return we will continue to listen and do our best to make the game better
Read moreThanks for finally admitting it instead of being smug and condescending. That being said I wanted to provide some constructive input into this:
-There is definitely a UI bug. It is purely superficial and likely the bug that you saw all the time. I understand that your dismissive comments were due to you only seeing this bug.
-There is definitely a true health bug, like we've been saying. I strongly believe this bug ONLY occurs when you are playing with a lower level javelin. Most likely due to scaling. For me I only get the true bug when playing with my lower levelled friends or when a random brings in a lower level into gm. I would suggest your testing team tries varying levels and switching from gm1 to hard or normal with a mismatched squad.
-There are probably millions of us that want Anthem to succeed and are willing to help out or stick with the tough release times, please don't be smug and dismissive like that. It doesn't help the game or the community...
Appreciate the constructive nature of your post :)
That skips over the heart of the problem this bug reveals: there should never be dynamic scaling in a build-based progression looter. Ever. It invalidates the core gameplay loop. Every single number and stat has to be real, not dynamically altered behind the scenes.
Agree for end game. Disagree for levelling.
Having it for levelling let’s friends of any level play together. That’s a huge barrier to entry for many people.
As lead producer isn't it your job to accept the blame and not shift it onto the rest of the team?
I’m happy to say it’s my fault. As a leader of the team that is true.
You missed the point of my comment which is - don’t go blaming QA, that’s not how it works.
Actually, jokes aside, you’re honestly right.
I gotchu fam
:)
At some point, I know you won’t have the answer now, can we get an explanation on what happened and how it was fixed? This feels a lot like a feature with unintended consequences rather than a typical bug, and I would feel better if I could understand what is actually going on when I’m shooting an enemy. Even after being told “everything is fixed now” it probably won’t feel that way if I don’t understand it.
Thanks for reading and addressing the concerns in here.
The short version is we wanted you to have a good experience when unlocking a new Javelin. As a result we did some things to the starter loot so you wouldn’t be gimped at first. It ended up being a bad idea. Here we are.
The criticism and suggestions come from those of us who wanna see the game succeed. We want the game and bioware to succeed.
The presence here helps. The patches too. Keep it up.
Criticisms and suggestions are great. They can be phrased positively or constructively. It makes a big difference :)
