Once again you're the best dude! Thanks, I actually was really hoping to find out about this as well.

Thank you Axel! What are you going to pick?!

u/BioCamden Wow tnx for answering and kudos for being so transparent, even if it’s not always the exact answer the community wants to hear!

Well, will be a hard choice then, but understandable as it’s a Demo ;)

Maybe I’ll create another EA account if I am desperate after a bad choice, but since the Demo is going to be overall less difficult, I don’t see that happening! Best dev team ever :D

Thanks for the positive support and reinforcement, I needed that. :)

I once received an achievement on xbox 360 called "meet your maker" and it was for beating a developer of the game in a side by side on guitar hero. Proud moment for 15 year old me.

Whaaaa that’s awesome hah. I would have geeked out for sure.

I think that's an awesome attitude to be going in with, and very encouraging to hear! I for one am pumped to try the demo tomorrow, and see what else you guys have in store for us.

Knowing the game can be a live, evolving thing is really cool, and I certainly plan to do what I can to share my feelings with you guys as it goes. Knowing that it's not falling on deaf ears and actually makes a difference makes it feel worthwhile, and much as that seems like it should be a given these days, it really isn't.

Kudos to you guys, and keep up the good work! I'll be jumping in at launch tomorrow :)

Thank you topher347, appreciate the reply and heartfelt sentiment. Can't wait for you to try it and tell me what you think.

Maybe u/biocamden might have an answer for you my friend? Or perhaps one of the other devs

Hey! So the plan is that everyone starts with the Ranger Javelin at level 10. At level 12 you have the choice of unlocking one of the other 3 remaining Javelins. Also from what I understand progress and account state will be retained between the two demo sessions. No way to reset your demo account to try the other two.

u/bretsenking tagging for visibility.

Is there any sure way to know if we interact with a dev? Any sort of symbol next to their name?

Not that I know of... I hope so! That would be pretty cool.

What platform are the devs more likely to play? Cause if it's PC only, someone like me on Xbox might never meet a Dev.

I plan on primarily playing on PC but I know several folks who will be mainly on console. It’s certainly possible :)

I really hope it stays as awesome and positive as it currently is after launch. So far the devs have been the best I've seen of listening to the community and reacting, the launch bay being an awesome example of this.

This sub staying positive and constructive will hopefully encourage that relationship. They've already shown they can take suggestions and roll with them, and very quickly at that. If people start spamming demands and being negative it's probably going to discourage them.

Basically, I'm sure the game won't be perfect post launch, and will have things we'd like to see, or have changed. I think as long as we keep up expressing both points we like, and improvements we'd like to see, but doing both in a civil and positive way, we can keep that up with the awesome dev team, and this game will be great for a long time to come.

The plan is to stay active regardless of the state of the game and the subreddit. We know there will be challenges, awesome moments, laughs, frustrations, etc and we plan on being here through all of it.

Launch is just the next milestone, we’re already working and planning many milestones after it. We’ll need your help and feedback to be agile enough to change course where we need to.

I'm beyond hyped for Anthem. Grindy, loot based games are among my favorite. I pre-ordered, bought the Prima guide, and got a few posters for the game room. I love the direction this game is going. I was very hyped for the demo, but duty called.

I'm now floating in the ocean (Navy), so I'm going to miss 6ish weeks of Anthem fun. The internet isn't sufficient for Youtube, so I'm reaching out to fellow Freelancers for pictures of Javelin builds, paint jobs, etc. I'm not worried about spoilers or anything like that. If anybody could link me to their pictures or PM to me, i would be very grateful. I want to feel included as much as possible in this awesome community.

Thank you Freelancers everywhere!

Edit* This took off more than I expected. Anyone playing on PC, PM me your Origin info and we can group up in the future.

Thank you agregg81, know that there will be a Javelin in the launch bay waiting for you when you get back. Strong alone, stronger together.

I'm not saying he's not doing a good job - but getting people excited and engaging with the community is basically his job now that the game is 'done' (or at least gold)

While true, a huge part of the team (Ben included) are already eyeballs deep in the Live Service plan and making sure we continue to deliver new experiences to you ASAP. We’re taking our breaths where we can but our job is far from over.

I know opinions are a dime a dozen but I can confidently say that you and Camden have been the biggest influencing factors in pushing me over the edge to purchase this title. I've been following it on and off since 2014 but I was going to wait, along with all of my friends, until a few weeks in to see if it was the real deal.

I speak for all of my friends when I say that you two single handedly inspired enough confidence for 7 additional game purchases. Keep up the PHENOMENAL work.

This means a lot. Just know that we’ll be here after launch come hell or high water too. Can’t wait to play with y’all soon.

You guys are awesome! u/Biocamden

Love the way you guys are so open with your community. Think there's any chance that after the demo stream today you guys can just "accidentally" flip the server switch? Pretty please? Hahaha

Woah... wooooaaahh... OH NOooOooOo! falls and pushes server/client to Production

That's a real shame because for a demo that's going to run for 3 days per session, 6 days total, that probably only has a comparably slim vertical slice of things to do, one of the best things to be able to do in that time would be to spend time trying out all four of them :(

Yeah I agree, but there should be plenty to do outside of that. The story and free play should keep you busy. I hope anyway!

Between missions and expeditions yep!

So, wait, does that mean you're absolutely limited to only two javelins per account throughout the demo? Because if that's the case then I'm going to have to use two of my friend codes to create alt accounts to try out the other ones

Yes I believe that’s the case.

And thank YOU for being an integral part of Anthem, as well! Keep up the awesome, awesome work!

I’ll do what I can! And you’re welcome and thanks for being a positive force and part of this awesome community. It really helps and means a lot.
