Hi Camden, im a senior QA in software development (also in game development in the past) i wouldnt mind working a bit for free to help improving the game and help you guys, any place where i can send reports/defects?

Cheers and thanks for your hard work!

I think you called it out below and the mods under my comment but I think we’ll have some mega threads about it. Most importantly for visibility on the breadth of impact will be folks upvoting or adding context to bugs they experienced too.

Sure man, happy to help!

Once the mods set a megathread about bug reporting i will share a template in case they find it useful, but some of the common points are:

Technical information (your platform, version, O.S. if PC etc)
Preconditions (like: "in order to reproduce the bug, you need to be int his state or achieved X first, cannot be reproduced otherwise")

Steps: What steps are neccessary in order for the bug to happen

Expected result: What did you expect to happen while playing when the bug happened

Actual result: What actually happened (the bug itself so to speak)

Additional information: (Any extra info and stuff like screenshots, videos...whatever you think might help understanding the bug)

But as i said, i will share a proper template for everyone once the megathread is done by the mods

Yeah this is awesome. Greatly helps us internally if we have information like this.

Stay tuned

Yeah I was going to say I didn’t want to put it on the mods without chatting with them first haha. But yeah this would be awesome. I know our community managers will also be working to get bug reports surfaced to us as often as they can, but we’ll be reading the subreddit ourselves too.

You are the vanguard.

You will be the first few who will set foot into this game, exposed to all matter of things. Potential bugs, smaller player numbers, the first prices of the Vanity Store (and the amount of time it will take to get them for free). You will be the first ones to have the chance to provide feedback and constructive criticism for the future of Anthem.

Do not miss this chance.

Find every issue. Use every item. Fly everywhere. Kill everything. Save the world over and over again. Collect every resource and cortex entry. Play by yourself, play together. Explore every nook and cranny of this game, take everything you find that needs fixing and post it here in the appropriate threads. Don't get angry. Don't throw your controller and say "f**k EA" like so many alarmist gamers these days. Remember that Bioware are here and are willing to improve the game based on our feedback as soon as possible. Everything that you can give them wi...

This is an awesome message, thank you for sharing it. We will definitely be watching, reading, and listening to the waves of feedback. Huge thanks to those of you who are taking the dive soon.

u/BioChrisSchmidt Is there a limit to the stacking? Say, can I do something dumb like put on 6 "ultimate inscription" components with 10% buff for 60%? Or three combo consumables and get the max bonus? Or are there diminishing returns?

Hey Hearty! Sorry for the late reply. All component are unique-equipped by type. The inscription stats on items however can stack.

Seeing as how the demos were a taste of the game, do we know if some of each of the Javelins abilities were not available in the demos? Such as Interceptors Nova Strike. Or was Nova Strike and some other abilities removed from the game?!?

u/BioCamden u/BenIrvo

All Javelin gear was in, Nova Strike was renamed to Wraith Strike.

A boy can dream!

Hey, so just to clarify is there forge access on the strider just not javelin switching or no forge at all?

No forge or javelin switching in the strider while out in free play.

Yes it was!

Does this also apply when you revive NPCs that you're doing a world event with, or is it player-to-player revives only?

I believe both, but that’s a great question.

I believe a minor buff (such as an extra shield or something from that nature) after you rez a fellow freelancer will motivate more team play... Just a friendly suggestion for Bioware, what do you guys think?

We actually already add a 5 second overshield to the player reviving, and the person being revived, after the revive is complete. This results in basically 5 seconds of damage immunity. You can usually see this with a faint blue shimmer VFX on the Javelin once it goes off.

Looking good. So far there is no reason for you to be on the Tarsis Preservation Squad's list of undesirables.

That’s certainly a good thing, but I meant the list the Grabbits are keeping themselves. Who knows what they will and won’t forget.

Be real with me....what are the chances that a cataclysm will spawn a giant, mutated Grabbit for us to kill at some point in the future? Like Titan sized one. I'm sure the vast majority of the community would love to see that as well :)

Hahaha, that would be incredible. Not sure if we’d do something like that, but who knows I guess!

Imagine spending 6 years making a game, and when it releases the thing people talk about is if the random alien bunny is evil or not. /u/biocamden We need grabbit themed vinyls for Grabbit protectors and Grabbit killers! It's time to pick a side! Serious note are you guys watching all this Grabbit talk and thinking were nuts?

So I’m personally in an entirely separate camp. I’m in the “I’m not a huge fan of those things and I certainly don’t trust them. But I won’t kill any of them because I don’t want my name on a list.” camp.

And yes it’s been hilarious to watch everybody take sides.

I MUST KNOW

Armor and shields are beneficial, especially in situations where you don’t have armor and shields.

But what are their thoughts on people dying when they're killed?

We feel that most Javelins should die when killed.

Have they confirmed that weapons do damage yet?

This is a great idea and is certainly something we’d like to do.

Edit: /sarcasm just in case that wasn’t super clear haha.

Are the Legendary weapons going to be closer to the Exotics from Destiny? For the most part, the Whirlwind looked the same throughout each level (uncommon, rare, etc.)

Some Masterwork and Legendary weapons will have new VFX or SFX. Some will have slightly different model variants. And all have different vinyls/color patterns.
