And by this I mean no stealth nerfs, no controlled RNG, no coin drops nerf, remember Bungie cheating players last year for the XP bar and how it ended as a scandal ? or the recent Bethesda on Fallout 76 stealth nerfs ? (I'm not even going to talk about Blizzard...), they are not good for the community, nor for the game and with "EA" stampeded on your game, it can be even worse with all those people just waiting for an opportunity to jump on the hate train.

Want to decrease coin drop rate to sell more shop items ? no problem, just tell us, want to nerf / buff some enemies ? no problem, just write it in the patchnotes; but just DON'T keep behind the scene, cause someone will find out.

Keep up the good work, you are on the way to create a great gaming experience for the years to come, we love your work ;)

ps : this is not a hate thread, but actually a sentiment on how you are treating your community right now, which is great.

There's a lot of hate going on YouTube and social media about Anthem solely because it's being published by EA. The identity politics being applied to it is just ridiculous. Even with all the dev involvement with the community, the consistent feedback, the livestreams, the roadmap, the launch support and content, the end-game; all of this and still people who haven't even played the demo are receiving it poorly all because of 2 freaking letters.

Despite all of the undeserved negativity, the community has seen through it (especially here on this subreddit) and sees Anthem for what it is: an awesome new IP that's letting all of us fulfill our Ironman dreams. What's more is BioWare has taken all the bad press like champs and continued to fine tune the game into something awesome. My friends and I played both demos and the remarkable improvements they made with the demos alone was nothing short of dedication and commitment to quality.

Combat in Anthem is based on flight, hovering and high mobility.

The devs stated they want to keep the players moving in battle. That's why we don't have a cover system for example.

But how does stationary effects from support abilities fit in this picture ? Not so well, in my opinion.

​

For example: if I want to have that nice damage buff from the storm in my group, I need to keep an eye on him to see if and when he's using it. Then I need to run or fly to wherever he put that circle on the ground and keep standing still in that circle to benefit from it.

Would it not be better if the Storm uses the ability and instead of putting a circle on the ground, his teammates automatically get the buff ? Like the armor get's a light blue glow so everyone knows they got the storm damage buff.

This way everyone stays mobile and the fights are more fluid imo.

" So they all unlock at [Level] 30, but what we're doing is going to turn [Grandmaster] 2 and 3 off at launch, just to make sure nothing weird happens with progression and difficulties. And if anything is looking good against the models we have, then we'll turn 2 and 3 on, or we might look at all the feedback and might go, "Okay, we need to adjust these numbers" make it harder, easier, or whatever. So we'll probably, soon after launch, turn them on. The idea is that the endgame has Grandmaster 1, 2, and 3 in it, as soon as we think it's safe to turn them on. "

Not a bad idea actually. They already changed difficulty numbers from what we saw, a...

Can we get a brighter or bigger flashlight when going into water or caverns? Maybe one we can toggle? It could be mounted as a small headlight on the javelin?

Edit: After playing some more I really want some attention to this because low light areas are a pain to navigate. /u/BenIrvo /u/BioCamden

Just had to bail on the stronghold because another player picked up an echo and then went afk, or was purposely trolling and refused to turn it in. Either way this feels like a big oversight that needs to be addressed.

Not sure if this was posted, there is a ton to read so I apologize if this is not the first one.

While playing a stronghold it became clear to me there was one thing I think we should be able to do. I went down was stuck waiting for a revive and my teammates all blues ran past me when they cleared the area and moved on. They had no interest in helping. I feel that when playing a matchmaker game mode we should be able to revive ourselves (or respawn) after a set period of time. I spent a long time just sitting around staring at empty space as I waited for a teammate who felt sorry for me to revive me. It's a bit discouraging being stuck sitting around waiting fifteen minutes for them to decide to help.

Edit: from the below discussion. Some.of the issue is that we cant see downed allies very well in the game. If anthem could have a beacon that pops out of your suit that is visible to teammates then we can be more likely to assist.

The console-UI idea of switching menus by using Q/E (or A/D, or anything) makes no sense on a PC. If I see a menu option, I try to click it. I am constantly confounded by the menus because you can see a preview of what's on the next "tab" but you cannot click that next tab. I have to go back and click the tab I'm on for some reason. It's very confusing.

In general: you should never have to use keyboard commands to navigate anything on PC - just click. The mouse is your primary input device. Having shortcuts is fine, but clicking should be the main way to do things.

Also, please allow for faster scrolling, and more obvious scroll bars on the side of long menus so I can more easily grab them and pull them down.

I cannot get the barrel roll to work on PC. Anyone able to get this working properly?

Well sadly I won't get to experience these patched controls, since playing the "demo" controls made me quit the game during the first mission. I don't have the time to to put up with developer laziness. Considering the performance and controls PC was clearly an afterthought which made me lose what little interest I had to begin with. Maybe they'll get it right with Anthem 2.

u/BenIrvo Can you tell us why the "Alt" key (to the left of space) cannot be assigned? I would have liked to use this key to fly over.

u/BenIrvo Please add a resolution scaling slider, it's basically a must have feature on PC nowadays. ME: Andromeda had it, and so do all modern Frostbite games.

Kinda crazy to think about, but it makes sense right? They are the planet creators and they've created the world for us to play in. Kind of like Stan Lee being 'The One' for Marvel. I wouldn't be surprised if we see eventual lore that resembles a BioWare devs name in some way. This my become my favorite game.

What's wrong with just doing free aim? Maybe the Javelin isn't that responsive and takes a quick sec to turn, but that's how it should operate the way I see it.
