Hey Camden, just want to report that setting PC clock to auto does not work. I still hit 95% every time no matter what, and if I bring in friends it affects them too. Fresh installs and rejoining does not work either.

Thanks for the additional info Moday. I imagine we’ll continue looking into this throughout the week before next weekend. Hopefully we will get it resolved.

Right. But in this game there aren't healers. And once your health gets too low it's a huge risk to try and get health pickups. So we either need a heal or healer. Even if it's just a Regen to 25% because once you hit 5% a single attack can down you. And it's not fun to have to rely on strangers to pick you up. It to be camping behind a rock because a sniper has your number and won't let you peak.

Perhaps it’s not in the demo, and potentially not final, but currently the intent is passive health regeneration to 25% if you’ve manage to not take damage for some amount of time. Out of combat between major phases I believe this regenerates to 100%. I’ll look and make sure this is passed on and reviewed.

Unfortunately EA support was not helpful at all and gave me a nice "Sorry nothing can be done"

I’m sorry Zach, I’m not sure what’s causing that error. I hope this didn’t dishearten you too much. I also hope you come back next weekend for the open demo.

Great job. You busted your ass. One thing you guys are doing right is communicating. Kick ass job all around.

Thanks a ton dejo, appreciate it being noticed. I just want as many people to play as possible.

No luck with Firefox either, this is how it gets stuck in all of them: https://imgur.com/a/gfxhnJo

Ok last idea I’ve got. Open up a private window (Ctrl-shift-n) and navigate to the same page there.

Hey Zach, I believe Customer Experience needs to assist with that one. Can you try loading their web hat service in another browser? They should be able to help you get in.

For example Roadhoag would be really useless without his healing ability no matter than he has the most HP.

Collossus need healing ability, because you are too often sitting behind rock with very low HP wondering what now.

In that example Colossus is more like Reinhardt with a deployable, destroyable, and rechargeable shield but no self-healing.

Hey r/AnthemTheGame! I'm Nishimba and I've been playing the Anthem Demo (obviously) on PC. I don't intend the title to sound like I'm bragging, but I thought that you might consider my thoughts to be more trustworthy. I've played the game for 13 hours, and I've got all 19 gear on my Storm (which appears to be max gear in demo). I'm loving the game so far, currently I'm going through and completing as many available challenges as possible to get all of the Blueprints + more Coin etc.

tldr, game is great, some issues, some negative thoughts, but it's still a fantastic experience.

So far the game has been a great experience. I've had a few hitches here and there, some rubberbanding, some infinite loads, sometimes getting booted to the main menu, and so on. But other than that it's been fantastic. First I'll cover what bugs and issues I've found so far, then I'll go into my full thoughts on some of the game systems. So her...

No worries Nishimba! I have your post saved already to follow-up on soon. I’m doing what I can to collect and consolidate the feedback to take to my team.

I am not sure where to put this so I will reply to you.

Crowd control removal doesn't seem to work as intended. Visual bugs when I am rooted as interceptor and then spam jump. Also, using the CC break ability on interceptor does remove the CC.

Love the game tho! So much fun in the demo even with the infinite load screens and having to do quests over! Thanks so much for creating this experience :)

Yeah I ran into that a ton myself and it was super frustrating. I believe this is something that had already been addressed but I’ll check into it.

I felt like I had to use both of the two available component slots on armor and shield increases to offset the weak base health amount. Each slot grants 800+ of each, so 1600 total I believe, but I was still getting chunked.

There is a blue shielded scar unit which jumps up and hovers in the air before it uses its incredibly powerful machine gun. That unit in particular shredded my full health to a 1/4 in two seconds on hard mode.

Overall though the colossus is still really fun, and I am able to consistently defeat the stronghold even with random players in matchmaking.

Can also fly at them with your shield out to slam them to the ground which helps too. But awesome feedback thank you.

As disapointing as some of these bugs are, seeing the team on Twitter, Reddit and official forums/channels respond is a great sign and fills me with confidence you all care for the game.

Wish I could try out a 2nd Javelin on the demo but I can at least tell the gameplay is great in the Ranger

Hey TheStarCpre! Everybody should now have all 4 javelins unlocked after relogging.

Would there be a chance, unless already addressed in the final version of the game, that we would get components/parts for the javelin we are playing as instead of ones for the other javelin’s? I’ve gotten 3:1 ratio of components for colossus and storm when I unlocked interceptor

Yeah that is certainly something we can review. I’ll bring it back to the team. Ideally on launch you’ll have all 4 javelins so they will eventually be useful (or just for parts) but I understand the desire to have more focused loot.

BW’s damage control and communication should serve as a model for all AAA titles approaching launch. I wasn’t able to access the demo this weekend, but as a BW fan since “Baldur’s Gate II”, I’m excited to see what you have up your sleeves with this new IP and that it’ll be worth the wait. Be sure to take care of yourselves in the coming weeks.

Edit: spelling

Thanks for that WoahBroRainbow. Also I love your name haha.

We’ve been looking into it but I don’t have more than that for you at the moment Next. Thanks for reaching out.

Was doing Hard Mode of the Stronghold and had the last fragment for the encounter underground with the tunnels. I was disconnected while carrying the fragment, and when I loaded back into the game the fragment was gone. We were unable to complete the event and had to exit mission due to this bug.

Thanks!

Hey Tarous thanks for the report we’ve been a few reports of other issues like this.

Wow, I can't even play the game and I am getting down voted? I am happy to report that I was able to cancel my preorder. Talked to 3 EA Advisors, no one helped me get past the title screen Spent hours wasting my time. stronger together with the down votes, right /u/BioCamden ?

Hey Von, sorry that you had this experience. There have been various login and connection issues that for a large number of folks have been resolved. The updates to those problems are being tracked here (https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/ANTHEM-VIP-Demo-Latest-Updates/td-p/7377294).

I wish you luck in the future and I'm sorry the demo didn't meet your expectations.

& if you haven’t already, anyone reading this should check out the dev stream where they fight two ursixes with u/BenIrvo & Emily from the quest design team, even though they ran into a bug, it’s been the only showcase of how a part of end game will work!

Haha thanks for noticing, I spent AWHILE on that paint scheme. I thought it looked pretty slick.

Dude (or dudette) has been ALL OVER the bug threads responding and taking in the feedback. I really hope this level of interaction BW has shown so far continues after the game releases. It is incredibly refreshing to see more than one person from the team so active and not being snarky or condescending when issues come up. BW, so far, seems to lack the over-arching tone deafness than some other unnamed houses seem to have sometimes.

Issues aside, I think there's a huge gem of a game here and I'm looking forward to the end of February. Thanks BW!

Thanks a ton for the post HeartySalmon, though totally not necessary. We committed to be here through the thick of it, and frankly it's our job to hear the feedback, criticisms, and opportunities so we can make it better. Thanks to everybody who sent me positive messages over the weekend, really helps. <3

Thanks Hearty, really appreciate it. :D

Thank you for sharing the love! I think we need to see a stream from your perspective now...

Hahaha maybe, that would be awesome. I'll see if I can convince Ben and AJ to let me.
