This is very cool, just two quick questions..

1. Why 6 and not 8? Seems like 2 of my buddies are getting screwed when max party size is 4. I'm guessing it partly has to do with the rate of earning coins, it just seems slightly odd.

2. Do you have to be currently online to get credit for each other's play time/activities?

   i.e. I can be offline while my buddy is playing and as long as he's in my alliance I'll still get alliance points for the week.

   If so this sounds great because I have buddies across all of the US time zones, so being able to contribute even if not able to do a full coordinated group run is always a positive.

In your bio it says you were in charge of multiple things including “competition” is that code for something planned later?

Is that secondary bucket the guild system, alliance system, or something completely different?

It's still not clear. Do you have to play anthem with these friends or does it count even if all of us are playing separately?

Well I have 0 regular “friends” that I play with so rip me

How does the multiplayer and open world interact? Is it like destiny where other players are phased into the world or is it like borderlands or Diablo where players just drop in if you open your session?

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I was hoping to get the maximum number of players per alliance that anthem will support?

Just a quick question:, I just wondering, the N7 skin will be a cross-bio reward for owning one specific of the Mass Effect series or just a normal in-game reward?

How many players will the alliance system in anthem support, many of us are a member of several social media platforms totaling thousands of future freelancers. It would help tremendously to know how many players per alliance as we try to organize in anticipation for such a social game experience as Anthem.

With things like 'Legendary Contracts', would I be correct in assuming that playing these on hard would yield better rewards than playing it on normal mode?

Hell yeah! Thanks for noticing haha. I keep trying to convince /u/biochrisschmidt to give me all vanity unlocks until the end of time... so far no luck.

Will cosmetic items bought with coin be time exclusive? Or will any cosmetic be available permanently?

I’m excited that YOU’RE excited!

I think this will be crucial and with how transparent they have been already I’m confident they’ll eventually release one. As of right now I’ve not heard anything about one though. Have they mentioned anything about creating one once the game launches? Just something I would love to see so the community has a solid reference to how they plan on expanding the game.

how long does it take playtime to earn enough coins for a cosmetic like 24 hours? or is it resonable??

Will be there any world/region chat except your javelin team? Quest hub chat? Optional player made channels..etc?

What will they be locking behind “premium currencies”? What won’t I be able to get just by playing the game?

Originally posted by kjersgaard

Absolutely! That's still cosmetics purchased from currency earned from playing the game. I think there is speculation at least that there will be a large amount of cosmetics that are separate from the currency earned in game and only from a 'premium' currency source we have to straight up pay for.

Oh so arrival mechanics are when you load into a friends game? Can you tell me a little more about them? Are they like Destiny2's respawn animations? Sorry for all the questions but the animations are the only thing not really covered in the customization stream.
