I unlocked the Interceptor first thinking it would play a bit like the Adept/Biotic build from Mass Effect, with Charge and Nova (pounding the ground) but it feels kinda weak so far. The melee ultimate is also confusing since the FoV is so low.

Game in general feels confusing and incoherent so far. No idea what the fuck is going on with the "story".

So wait, are the loading screens for those offshoot areas in the open world still there or was that just for the demo?

Storm is basically your Adept in this and yeah Interceptor is kiiiinda like Vanguard, it has a Charge ability (although not quite as good as Vanguard's). They could probably make a Vanguard Javelin in this at some point lol.

It is hard to overstate how much better the full game is than the demo. Very much relieved. I can't understand what they were thinking putting out that demo.

Yeah I need to unlock more abilities first but Interceptor was probably not the best choice as a first unlock. At least for me.

I hate myself so much, I paid the £15 bribe to play a week early. Damn my friend for twisting my arm.

Game plays way better with a controller imho, even on PC. The rumble alone makes shooting so much more fun.

In the demo I found that while playing the Interceptor is fun, you kind of miss a lot of combat cues and information if that's the first javelin you play.

You need to get your feet wet with Ranger or Storm so you can get a proper understanding of combat flow imo.

Performance seems to be a lot better for me on PC. Not that I was having problems previously, performance seems to be higher.

After checking out the Legion of the Dawn stuff, I really dont think its worth it for the extra $20. Its just the colors/skins and vynls right? If thats it, I would not pay the extra imo.
EDIT: oh, I guess it comes with some weapons too for the Ranger, but I didnt see them in my Forge so i dunno how they are yet.

Origin isn't letting me download Anthem even though I should have a 10 hour trial for it with Access Basic. When I press "Get the game" it just gives me the option to pre-order (10% off) or get Premier.

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus so far. Someone in performance thread with a 970 said they were getting 60fps on High/Ultra @ 1080p.

I just signed up for Basic and I'm currently installing. Try restarting the client? I found the game by searching Anthem.

I think you have to search for it via the shop or something, it's apparently not in the obvious place.
Solved it.

The trial only appeared when I go to Origin with my web browser. The client never gives the option to get the trial and just pushes Premier. Now I got the trial through the web store.

Shitty design from EA.

Good to hear that performance will be improved. It's much better than the demo, but I don't think it's fully there yet.

I can see myself potentially double dipping for the XB1X version if it goes on sale in the next few months if the performance and HDR are good just so I can put my OLED through its paces lol

Damn, I was pretty down on Anthem in Alpha and the Demo but the gameplay is REALLY fun. Lets see if it holds up.
Anyone know when you unlock your second javelin?

I am not liking how every character is a jokester. Every dialogue seems sarcastic.

Off topic but I was having the same exact issue with Uplay Windows client vs. website and getting into the Division 2 install. Such simple things get overlooked and suck.

The flight controls are noticably improved from the pre patch demo but it's still annoying, the in flight camera wobbling needs to be turned way down and the crosshair needs to be more precisely controlled with a mouse.
