Anthem’s unfortunately necessary redemption arc begun recently with some critical buffs to the game’s loot (summon the loot!) and if yesterday’s livestream indicates anything, next week’s patch will continue the important work necessary to turn the game around. Let’s recap.

Read the full story here

    I'd be happy just to be able to log into the game. There are a lot of "can't connect to the server" errors I keep getting. I have to close out and restart the game 15 times.

    Very happy to see all of these changes. While the game will still have massive flaws in regards to content and technical shortcomings, these updates are a substantial step in the right direction.

    Especially happy to see cosmetic rewards for strongholds and the addition of legendary missions.


    Now onto what needs prioritizing in future:

    * Further mission bug fixes and performance/loading improvements.

    * Removal of the unneccessary and harmful damage/enemy health scaling system in its entirety.

    * New strongholds and other endgame content streams.

    * Masterwork/legendary support items.

    * New weapons, javelin gear, etc.

    * Universal masterwork/legendary gear equalized to comparable health/shields to javelin specific gear.

    Good to see this game is progressing through Early Access. I'm sure its going to be amazing in 5 more months once it fully releases.

    I play on PS4. I see a lot of people complaining about the same issue for PS4. No, I haven't, but I will try that.

    I play on PS4 as well, I rarely have any issues with getting into the game. I had an issue once, on a Saturday night I think, around 10pm. I guess it was peak load time. I eventually got in my just being patient, and stayed logged in for several hours without issue.

    I occasionally get errors, where the system says it can't load pilot data, but more often than not, that seems to make no difference, and I can continue playing after pressing X.

    I'm running PS4 Pro, with SSD. Maybe that's the difference? I'm seeing a lot less issues than others seem to be reporting.

    Unfortunately, Anthem is just heading down the same road as MEA and DAI. Most would be better served to head over to Division 2. The devs nailed just about everything, especially loot & exploration. The world is more dynamic and best of all, no loading screens. Seriously, go check it out!

    Metacritic: Anthem 60/42 Division 2 85/78

    Edit: Division 2 user score dropped from 78 to 73 in one day due to 0 score review bombers from Anthem.

    It doesn't matter how much they increase drop rates... they need to add crafting recipes to allow us to pick and choose the bonuses on all items. I font mind grinding out the weekly/monthly etc..to get those extra masterwork embers if I can then use them to build out specific recipes. Also they can really make the system intricate by tying specific crafting materials to locations/bosses around the world. Freeplay is my favorite part of the game so far as the world itself is the one good thing they did, and exploring it to find world bosses/ hidden treasures leading to the materials needed for crafting would make for great fun!

    100% agree with this. Div 2 has been nothing but great to me so far, and with its successful launch, I can only imagine it will grow and become better like div 1 did. The game just flows for me.

    I gave ea one last chance after battlefront 2. BUT i didnt feel robbed as i did from my purchase of anthem. I will never buy another bioware game. they obviously dont have talent anymore. ben irving runing my swotr. I LOVED that game. i didnt find out he was involved in anthem until it was 2 late. welll not 2 late, but i should of canceled my preorder when i saw him on a livestream. i can only blame myself for my stupidity. I will never buy from bioware ever again. and ben irving is fucking blacklisted i hope. he did do his job though at the expense of honesty. anthem is fucking trash. compelte fucking trash. 2 all the people that say "omfg it looks so pretty"

    lipstick on a pig. the mechanics are all fubar and its obviously a hobjob put together so they can take what they had originally and relase it as anthem 2. i hope ea closes down bioware but they wont because bioware and ea scammed mostly everyone.

    Apparently, these new cosmetic lockboxes won't contain armor pieces or even textures.

    Just emotes, vinyls, poses, and crafting supplies.


    Remarkably stingy and shoddy implementation of what could have actually been a great new rewards system. Color me unimpressed.
