Ever since the gear reveal stream we have been trying to tell you guys that the affixes, especially with no reroll system, was going to be a disaster in endgame.

Why did we have to learn this lesson the hard way? The Division has been out for years. Destiny has been out for years. Diablo 3 has been out for nearly a decade. And yet here we are, making the exact same mistake all those games made. WHY??

In fact, it ended up being even worse than we feared. Why is +pistol damage rolling on an LMG?? Did we seriously just create an enormous pool of affixes with no restrictions on where they can roll? This is straight up amateurish guys, come on now. I can't believe this is coming out of one of the most famous studios in history; these mistakes have been made by multiple games in this genre in the past.

we are committed to this.

Love to hear it. You guys absolutely nailed the gameplay so far, I believe the content can be filled in. Thank you for the prompt reply, continue to be fascinated by the quality of the community engagement. This is a golden standard.

While I have your ear - I would like to suggest more ways to get coins once Challenges and more coin sinks.

One way to boost the vanity shop offerings could be player housing if done well. ESO sells quite a bit of RMTs through that mode.

Thanks again and I hope you get some time to yourself this Sunday!

The game handles like a dream.

The comparison to the diablo 3 launch is I think one to note. Random affixes and % are great, but the delta has to be relatively controlled for each piece of gear.

Diablo helped this problem with the 'minor' and 'major' affixes, so you we're never trading a damage increase for pickup range by way of example.

Not sure if that exact system would be right for Anthem, but maybe just a little determination in the loot roll would be enough. So if a roll comes for say, LMGs, all further weapon related rolls will be locked to that. Or if the algorithm settles on a "qol" stat like harvest or pickup range, the other stats are guaranteed to be in crunchy categories (damage, recharge, etc)

My 2 cents into the pile. (I spend wayyy too much time playing designer while afk)

I can't finish the Tomb Challenge because all my tomb feat progress keeps getting erased after leaving Freeplay or stronghold. Even when I finished all the feats the tombs still didn't work. Will there be a patch for this sometime soon?

I have to say, the positivity of the Bioware on this subreddit is honestly infectious. Thank you for being active with your community!

/u/biowarejer . Just tagging to get a dev here. Not sure if you guys want to be made aware of suggestion threads, but OP put some work into this :)

Avid division players should be cognizant of the content void at the end of the game. Is anything being done to address this?

Thanks for your extreme work ethic, it’s highly appreciated!

Check the rising tab. There are plenty of posts just like this offering constructive criticism whilst being respectful. You act like this is the only post where the community is trying to work together with respectful criticism

Glad to hear! I love the game and want nothing but for it to succeed.

Please do not take away my ability to stack inscriptions on all pieces of gear. Add rerolling specific inscriptions, that much is needed. But absolutely do not take away from someone trying to stack +harvest on every piece of gear to enhance endgame mat collection or others that want to experiment with inscriptions and builds. That's all I ask.

Originally posted by Psychotic_gecko

The only issue OP brought up that should be relevant at the moment (Ealry Access) is the inscription information. Other changes can/will come down in time as the game grows. Although maybe passing along that Masterwork/Legendary items should only have 1 other weapon inscription on it, instead of having 3 different weapons when we can only use 2 at a time... but again the tweaks will come in time. Thanks for the hard work on the game so far!

Don't want to sound rude, but whoever designed it did poor research and had no idea what makes a good looter / shooter

I'm currently farming GM1/GM2, freeplay & legendary contracts with a bunch of friends.

When more people reach this stage (you'll be farming GM1 for masterwork & legendary items once you reach level 30) people will really see how poorly the loot system works.

Before I point out the big flaws with the system, let me start off with saying that I absolutely LOVE the gameplay, the flying and the combo system, it's insanely fun and BW nailed it.

1. When you get a MW/Leg item drop, the affixes can be completely useless which is EXTREMELY underwhelming & frustrating. I do not want 20% Harvest Bonus on my Seal, neither do I want Pistol 18% Ammo as an affix. The difference between getting 20% Harvest bonus and getting 100% Element Damage or getting 200% Gear damage is HUGE. The game should give you relevant affixes to your weapons/seal/components, but the numbers should differ so have a sense of "always progressing" by getting higher percentage stats on your aff...

Sweet! Feel free to kick off a thread for this, a lot of folks are hitting it.

That couldn't have gone more perfectly, first quickplay I joined was that quest....at the end of the final encounter, pretty much just watched it load in then back to Fort Tarsis. Can confirm that has opened up the tabs in my Cortex now, will go check the doors now! Edit: Yep when i go to the doors the quest/challenge pops up with progress bars, seems we have the fix.

I did a reinstall and it at least gets to the first cut scene.

Well here is my screenshot anyhow! https://imgur.com/YE2aHUo But ill go give that a shot! I had to try that mission 4/5 times before it stopped crashing after the cut scene and having to start again...guess watching the cut scene one final time is better than starting the entire game over.

Originally posted by captainxela

I do not have that screen, under Challenges > Expeditions I only have "Critical" and "Agent" as options, there seem to be two I am missing based on that screenshot.

I posted the solution in a reply to the parent of my comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/ark1lb/cannot_progress_past_challenges_of_the/egnpfc1/

I'll summarise here anyway.

Game crashed on me after the cutscene of the mission before the tomb section unlocks (Finding old friends). This meant that the 'Finding Old Friends' achievement never unlocked for me, and this seems to be what was causing the issue.

I jumped into quickplay until I managed to find a group doing the 'Finding old Friends' mission, finished the mission without crashing and then I could see the requirements for the challenges both in my cortex and outside the tombs. None of them were started or completed (and I heard from other sources that they are meant to be retroactive) but I completed them all and have now progressed on with the story.

Just to ...
