Anthem |OT| GaaS Effect
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
Finished the story.. It was.. okay. Way better than any in it's genre but was fine. Characters were great though, Faye, Haluk and Dax being my favourites. Unlocked Storm as my lvl 26 and having a lot of fun with fire balls and fire domes... trying ice now but really enjoy fire. Need to try Colossus endgame after to see how it is. So far I'm enjoying the game a lot but I'm still subscribed for one more month, will see how the game is after before I buy since I like owning my games. Just want to see how the support is.
Though I won't lie, I'm not excited for the next Dragon Age unless they get rid of Frostbite. Got same issues I have now with Anthem and some of it is present in other Bioware frostbite titles. Small hope to nothing that it'll happen but eh.

You know what's worse? It only fixes 3 things.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/atr55f/anthem_fixes_for_2232019/
- The final boss in the "Return to the Heart of Rage" stronghold and crit path mission will now properly appear if a squad of freelancers wipe before reaching it.
- HDR on consoles can now be properly turned on.
- Fixed a number of issues that were causing players to crash.
So I've finished the campaign...
I'm level 25.
What's the best way for me to tackle the game from here?
I've been playing on Hard since the start, if that matters.
Is it just running strongholds, taking remaining contracts, etc... until I hit 30, then doing all the content over with GM difficulty?

Strongholds, Freeplay and Contracts until level 30 and as high as possible GS vie Epics. You don't want go to even GM1 with shitty gear, you will get murdered so hard.
Thanks.
Will I find any MW until I hit GM?
I'm finding a bunch of Epics atm...
There is 6 or so MW weapons that can drop below GM difficulties. Gear level of epics will still go up for you as you level and get higher GS. If I remember right epics cap out at 36.
And I take it the level that is listed as minimum for GM in the tool tip is a bit too generous?
Well after unlocking colossus first then interceptor 2nd I went Ranger third. I love the movement on the interceptor but is so fragile. I think it really needs a buff.
In game display puts GM1 at 300 recommended, in reality you get one shot until like 380.
I'm enjoying it so far other than the silly load times. How much does a SSD help? What are load times in missions like with one?
Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt as I was on my ps4 slim with wifi.
But the loading times are still insane on my wired ps4 pro with a Gbps connection.
I'm pretty easy going with games but the design of this game is so unpleasant I'm not even sure I'll make it through story mode at this point

Load times on my SSD are about the same as on my HDD after they patched the load times. Around 30 - 45 seconds to load from Fort Tarsis to a mission. Before the day one patch load times were well over a full minute on HDD.
Loading seems pretty much exclusively down to HD performance. Matchmaking times for me have been basically non-existent.
Load times are mostly a combination of whatever HDD and CPU you have. IIRC the CPU has to unpack a lot of compressed files and then load them to memory. Certain very weak hardware like the PS4 and Xbox would struggle a lot with this process due to their limited CPUs, regardless of the HDD speed.
Could be I'm in the wrong here, but that's my take on it.
I thought about this yesterday, but couldn't find a way to start over or create a second character.
I like the female voice but didn't really like any of the models.
I stayed up until 3am playing it with a buddy. It's been ages since I gamed that late, so I'm obviously having a blast with it. Only gripes are not being able to switch gear in missions/free roam, the load times and a couple crashes/disconnects we hit. The gear switching is the main one as it sucks when you want to try out new powers and weapons and hate what you pick and can't switch.
But the game is so fun to play for me that those don't hurt the experience a ton. We started out doing everything on hard and have stuck with that. I love the combat and it being more power and combo focused than pure shooter with the short cooldowns. The Storm is especially fun to play, and I just unlocked the Interceptor as my second. Flying and hovering around is very satisfying and the game looks nice and seems to run pretty well on PS4 Pro at 1080p. All the NPC conversations have been mostly interesting and add to the immersion over something like Destiny. The lore is interesting enough as well with lots to read in the Cortex.
So I'm very pleasantly surprised and glad we bought it after being mixed in the demo and seeing the reviews. My wife is out of town for the weekend and my friend and I have been itching for a new co-op game so the timing was right even with those reservations. Glad we took the plunge.

You've got to create a new pilot from the main menu. It's really the only reason to, since you get access to all four Javelins on a single pilot anyways.
Within reason. My 970 Evo and 860 Evo are approximately the same. It takes 45s per Mission to load. Matchmaking shouldn't have anything to do with your HD anyway as it's searching for either an empty spot for you to join, or creating a new instance entirely.
does selecting 'New Pilot' start a new game?...or does it just let me change the customizations?
I get that but the developers knew this when the have was designed as consoles are uniform hardware and software. No game should have loading being 10% of your playing session
Yeah, I'm downloading it now. I had to go to manage game and wait on the update tab for it to actually install for me though.
I'd agree if enemies weren't so braindead. Missions are like a glorified horde mode. There's nothing perfect here, or close to it. So disappointed with this.
Completely agree. Remember how World of Warcraft had no loading screens within each major continent? You could walk for hours through multiple zones and biomes and it all streamed seamlessly with hundreds of players pr. server. This was back in 2005 when we had Pentium processors, 256 megabytes of RAM and ADSL internet.
I'm fine with glorified horde mode. Honestly a bigger ME3 multiplayer experience is all I wanted out of this game and so far it's scratching that itch for me
Played for about 10 hours on PC and ran into my first bug. One of the side missions (the one where you fight 2 big monsters at the end, notorious for breaking) wouldn't end after defeating the last 2 enemies.
I kind of want to be done with it, but I'm worried that the patch didn't fix it.

Do higher difficultiesmake them smart or something? All I got was that they have more life and deal more damage.
Why do people won't shut up in the middle of the action? I'm a man, I can't do 2 things at the same time, shoot aliens and listen to your boring banter.
Couple of quick questions:
1. If I miss picking up an item that drops during a mission or something, do you lose it? Or do you automatically have anything that dropped at the end?
2. The launch bay is an actual social spot where you can be with other players right?
