Seriously, this game is one of the most fun I have ever played... When it works. I cannot load into ANYTHING without the load screen hanging at 95%. That bug is singlehandedly ruining the experience for me, and hundreds, if not thousands of other players. But I must say, once you have the server/loading issues sorted out, you will have a gem of a game on your hands.

Aye - already reported.

And btw, thanks for all of the hard work you guys are putting in, the gameplay from this demo has pushed me to pull the trigger on preorder. It can only get better from here!

Some. I had to run the game as admin and in full screen. Moving to an ssd also helped. This game is a ton of fun. Just these issues prevent said fun

Played on Xbox version last night for a bit after hours of trying. Had a few issues including the infinite loading and not being to access.

The lag / rubber banding is horrendous. It was nonexistent when I was solo but as more people joined it got worse and worse to the point of being unplayable in a group of 3 or more.

Not sure if private parties are available in final mode but should be.

Every time we collected a material or opened a chest the game threw like 5-10 unknown errors. Everytime! Opened a chest in Freeplay and got like 20 unknown errors!!

Didn't get any xp after ending Freeplay. We did like 3 world events and bunch of exploring but at the xp screen I got a boatload of unknown errors again and when I went back to tarsis I was still stuck at level 10 while my friend had gotten to level 12. He was unable to select a new javelin though.

I have one huge request. When players are in F...

During the stronghold boss fight, I've been disconnected 3 times due to load screen. (PS4) 1. What could possibly be causing a load to occur mid-fight? 2. This is further exasperated by the 95% load issue. 3. Upon closing to fix the load issue, it does not allow me to continue the mission and spits right back to Fort T - thereby forgoing any loot collected in strong hold.

Edit: Loot does appear after a "successful" mission. Had 3 back-to-back bugs that didn't complete a mission, but starting one then abandoning gave me loot for the last 3 failed attempts. I did however lose the completion bonus loot... Meh.

Is there a possibility of resetting demo progress to see about getting the unlock naturally? It seems that there is a correlation between those experiencing the Javelin unlock bug and those that had disconnect issues that resulted in mismatched XP gains.

Will the vip demo be extended? I haven’t been able to connect for 14 hours.

My experience from playing hard modes:

Javelins (animations, “feel”, traversal). - I got the jav bug and could only play ranger. Class felt good but at times weak without a Storm class freezing stuff for combos. Had to put all components into maximum HP and Armor to survive.

Gear (cooldowns, balance, damage, usefulness). - Cooldowns felt good because none of the gear seemed TOO op. It felt like good balance.

Creatures (AI, “feel”, challenge). - I played hardmode and they felt fine, just the shear number of them caused the issues. If you couldn't find cover that would protect you from all but 1 you'd die instantly. This wasn't really the case in free play areas, mob quantity seem much less.

Flight controls (specifically PC but console is helpful too). - Unfortunately the swim controls feel as bad or worse than when I played alpha. I had...

Do you guys have any intentions on extending the beta a little bit? Haven't been able to get in this whole time... I know it's probably chaos as you guys are putting out fires right now. Jw.

When will you be fixing the loading screen bug? Its preventing everyone from playing and having an enjoyable experience. You all didn't fix it Friday night, a huge night for gaming. Its now Saturday and still zero word about you pushing a fix. This beta test called a demo isnt terribly good atm because nobody can play.

u/BioCamden Here is my thoughts on each point

1. Javelins
   1. Ranger
      1. Animations feel good, melee feels a bit odd to track, but overall it feels good
   2. Interceptor
      1. feels great movement wise
      2. I would like a better way to know how many dash charges I have, if it is there I have not noticed it yet
      3. The attack where you dart at something and like head butt it feels bad to use, as it seems to respond to where you are looking vs where the reticle is
   3. Traversal feels very good and use verticality to a great affect
   4. Gear
      1. I would really like to see what gear I get out in the field, holding all that excitement till the end does not feel as good. What you all did with Jaras wrath in the initial trailer, obviously toned down, would feel much better in the moment
      2. The guns dont feel quite different enough, especially LMGs and auto rifles
      3. I woul...

u/biocamden Hate to say this, and frankly seems kinda weird saying it but, the graphics in this game are TOO good. Too many particle effects flying around during hectic combat to focus on enemies. Enemies are too “dark/blended in” with the environment to focus on. An auto lock on option when ADSing would be nice. Ranger ultimate feels very weak compared to others. The UI needs a lot more love in simplifying. Controls are great. The team combo system is the best inclusion to the game and honestly one of the most innovative game mechanics I’ve seen in a long time. I love how you made the bosses bullet sponges but also said “well you knowww...if you guys shoot in sync....;)”. This game has ALOT of potential...ALOT! Don’t overthink it. Go with the flow and make minor adjustments.

I’ll tell you what though. The most important thing you need to have in this game to make it a killer is endgame content. Give us things to chase (weapons/gear). Give us week...

Hi, sorry for the late response but I’ve been playing a lot more. Basically I’ve started to have my shield out for pretty much the whole play. This is to keep my health up since it doesn’t regenerate. I’ve pretty much just using the abilities from a long range and sniping.

So my two cents,

I like having the colossus as a long range javelin. However, I still think he needs a regen and more Ammo. I think the ranger has like 340 and the colossus only has 150.

I’d really like a colossus that can be up in the front lines. I know that’s not really the play style of anthem, but I feel like the other 3 javelins have the option of close and far range fighting. To me, colossus is really only effective at long range.

So ultimately adding a regen and more ammo would make me happy, but it’d be cool to see a close range tank.

Edit:

I think making colossus charge with the shield would be pretty great, it pretty much tells you that when you bring...

Unfortunately you dont have access to the first Anthem Demo Weekend despite having the demo via my friend giving me a key. He and our other friend (also given a key) can play, why cant I?

Account say ordered demo

PC Origin App - downloaded and shows ready to play

Game load, connecting, setting screen then instantly splash overlays say "Unfortunately you dont have access to the first Anthem Demo Weekend" why?

Can I add that we're seeing this happen more and more frequently?

Some consistent themes I've seen while looking for potential solutions and seeing so many reports of this bug:

• frequently seems after hitting level 12, and getting one of the load screens that hangs at ~95% completion, that this occurs (happened like this for me)

• some people mentioned success joining a freeplay expedition and leaving it, this did not work for me personally

• one or two mentions of completing the three story quests allowing the second javelin to be unlocked, this did not work for me personally (nor completing the stronghold once)

Rangers are cool and all, but my interest in the demo is pretty directly proportionate to my ability to play something else lol. I doubt I'm alone in this. Thanks a ton for taking so much time on this guys, really appreciate the effort and it definitely shows something special in that we are getting so ...

Encountered one other problem. I'm level 13. And I can't unlock my second javelin. Go to the Forge, and the click on Javelins and there's no option to unlock a second.

Good luck and I hope you guys get everything fixed! Seems to be a great game once servers are figured out and bugs are squashed.
