thats....a weird decision. with div2 coming out tonight this game is getting put on the back burner for a while. itll be interesting to see how this game turns out a few months from now. i still think the gameplay loop and combat is second to none, its just the supporting systems need to get ironed out along with more content. will definitely be coming back.
Kind of jealous. I desperately need abilities and components, and all I get are weapon dupes, lol
I haven't gotten a single one of those yet in MW rank, come to think of it. Huh!
that post actually make sense to me though i dont see where reddit says its the number 1 problem with the game. they are all about the loot now.
It's even worse than that: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheG...rscaling_why_loot_doesnt_matter_anymore_math/
Holy shit. This is disastrous. Their entire system is fucked. They're going to have to completely redo and rebalance their entire stat system, literally months and months of work. What the fuck were they thinking!?
Oh my. That looks really nice actuallyFucking finally some actual new stuff:
So I guess this game won't be getting in better anytime soon or possibly ever..
Basically only equip legendaries and leave all other slots empty. If you don't have a legendary yet, only equip masterworks. Never equip epics. What they are doesn't matter.
Yeah that's the craziest shit I've read yet. The level one gun thing was more funny than serious since it was clearly just a scaling issue... this is way beyond that. No idea why these companies don't just hire from Blizz teams that have been dealing with loot & stats forever
The salvager stuff looks awesome, actually.Fucking finally some actual new stuff:
Not for pure gameplay purposes, but if you plan to do all of the challenges in the game (and go for all of the trophies/achievements) then the MW/legendary versions don't count for the normal version challenge. I've been keeping one of each ability at epic level (the one with the highest luck stat) to use for those challenges.
Yes, the weather has definitely been inclement since the patch! Maybe we'll see some new cataclysm related stuff soon.
Fucking finally some actual new stuff:
I don't think the genre really matters. If I get an hour of enjoyment for every £1 I spend on a game I count that as worth it. Considering I bought it for £35 and have probably played triple that in hours, it's my money's worth. Particularly since I won't have to pay money for any future content, extending that playtime.
eh, i dont know about that. Epics can stack up with Masterwork components and give double the boost. i still havent been able to one of the gear recharge Masterworks to drop so i am still rocking the epic component. i pretty much need it for faster recharge of my storm abilities. i feel handicapped without.
Sorry to ask for clarity, I'm new to the end-game and really haven't been heavily into Anthem gear-wise while waiting to hit it. Appreciate the help.
Thank you, appreciate the tips.
I'm sorry; I just don't even know what to say anymore.
That's my mentality, but in this case I spent $115 and couldn't even make it through the story mode. I've spent money for games I didn't like before and that is on me.
Thanks to the utterly broken back end, stats are irrelevant. Inscriptions are irrelevant. Basically the way the scaling is done in this game, the vast majority of the damage you do and take is calculated off average gear score (NOT TOTAL), with boosts from gear and inscriptions only making a small difference. So if you equip only legendaries, regardless of stats, you get the damage and toughness of 75 gear score. If you equip anything else, your average and thus damage and toughness is reduced. Empty slots aren't counted. That's why epics are worthless as soon as you have one masterwork, and masterworks are useless as soon as you have one legendary. Having a legendary weapon is more important for ultimate damage, as apparently the scaling for that is based off weapons in some way.
What in the shit am I reading lol..
Does this also affect your toughness or just damage output?
think I'll only get the storm one as I only got 100k and I'm thinking colossus is up next. Not in love with the head piece but we'll see how it looksFucking finally some actual new stuff:
Physical damage, so ultimates and melee are monsters. You will be very friagile if you only equip a handful of items, but there should be a happy point you can find to make it work... if you can be bothered - right now what's the point? What would it gain you even playing this game as is?
To all intents and purposes, Storm is utterly gimped on all fronts now. They get screwed out of taking any real advantage of the current knowledge. It semed bad for Storms yesterday when the news that power score progression resulted in effectively weaker shields, as Storm is all about that shield, but now with this stuff it's just.... laughing/crying.
Absolutely. Literally nobody should play this game right now if they're post-campaign and looking to gear up, it's utterly pointless. A hard chase for gimped loot drops for gear that makes you weaker.
Yup. The past week I've gone from thinking, "The foundation is solid, we just need 2-3 months to get the content there" to "The foundation is actually soft cheese and we have no idea what to do".
Oh shit, I wonder what that Welds material looks like.Fucking finally some actual new stuff:
