I thought someone mentioned the preload should have been up yesterday, but that was a week early, lol/
Oh, yeah I been playing it a bit. Just no one to play with so not that much so far.
For people who haven't voted for the title of the OT yet, there's still around 2 hours left until I stop taking votes for it: https://www.resetera.com/threads/an...h-time-to-fly-freelancera.95459/post-17785137
Was just looking at the new content for AC: Odyssey. If BW can come anywhere close to outputting the quality and quantity that Ubi has for their GaaS, then Anthem should have a long and great life.
Excited to see what you cooked up.
Have fun modding all the "bomba" "Fu(k EA" "Fu(k bioware" "DOA" troll posts....
(I don't envy that job on era)

I have EA Access, but I kind of agree that those that pre-ordered the Legion Edition should be given early access as a bonus for pre-ordering it regardless of platform. People that bought the Legion Edition are the core/enthusiast that will be the lifeblood of the game, giving them early access for spending a bit more would of been the way to go. But I also understand reward those that pay for their subscription service though as well. If anything, like some other games, perhaps early access 4 days before official launch would been a good compromise.
On the other hand, those that are waiting/forced to wait till the 22nd will have an additional patch from my understanding. From what I have read the 15th version will still have the "walking like mud" through the main hub and that fix wont be out till the 22nd. Who knows what else is part of the 22nd patch that we wont have on the 15th.

FIFA, Battlefield etc. had early access pre-order incentives as part of their deluxe editions.
That's not very smart, won't most reviews be based on that unpatched version ?
Hopefully, any half decent reviewer will mark his/her review, as still in progress, and make sure that he/she mentions that a patch is incoming at launch.
From what I have read/understand, the 15th version is patched up, but there are certain things they could not have ready for the 15th like the slow walking in the hub area that they said is part of the 22nd patch. My concern is the same as yours. I think 1st impressions, demo aside since we know it was an old build, is going to be crucial. It just comes down to how much they got crammed into the 15th patch versus the 22nd patch. If the majority of the "big" issues are in the 15th, then it should be fine. For me however, that walking through mud was really bad and distracting, so not to have that and who knows what else is a concern.
That is the price for them doing this early thing. For a game like this a week worth of more work to make things better can be pretty huge, we will just need to see what state the game is in on the 15th. At the end of the day, many will judge this game based on the early access so I hope EA/BIoWare have it in a good state since there will a ton of people playing on the 15th and if things are fucked up, it is going to be a blood bath.
I hope that live stream thing they are doing later today will shed some light on what to expect come Friday.
For us Origin Premier members, we can now pre-load the game, ready for launch tomorrow at 10:30pm UTC. Almost only 24 hours until we can dive in! Now get to pre-loading Freelancers!
Xbox players can pre-load now too (and have been able to for a few days now). PS4 players we're still waiting on a confirmed date when pre-loading begins for you, all signs point to Tuesday (19th).
PC Pre-load is: 51.04 GB.

i just can't believe launch is at 4:30CST.....like literally right as i get out of work. I'm so happy that i don't have to wait till 11pm or so to get maybe 30 minutes in and go to bed.
Yeah it's both confusing and awesome that they're launching it a little earlier than we all thought.
Premier members are able to add the game to their library, like other games in the Vault. I'm guessing that this will be available to Basic members too before or at launch tomorrow, so they can download the game - I'd hope for you all that it gets added soon.
But I believe that all that did was push forward the EA access date. So those subs still played it first.
Just take advantage of it, and play some of the other games offered. It's an awesome service.
Hard to say until the game is out and we know the full story, the marketing with it has made me cringe though. It's not a make or break feature but I guess that yes, it does damage the experience since every time I hear it my brain goes "that's so DUMB!"
If the game provides an interesting, compelling reason for this seemingly incongruous name then of course it will be fine. It should to be a well thought out and narratively significant reason though, not something like Dragon Age: Inquisition where it was fairly obvious some doofus dev though "Inquisitor" sounded badass and they shoehorned it into the lore to make it work.
Yea that's how I am rationalizing it in my head. Lots of EA games I have missed out on there plus some other stuff as well.
Good news.
Son, I am disappoint.
Thanks to everyone who voted in the OT Title Poll.
OT TITLE POLL NOW CLOSED
OT WILL GO LIVE AT 10:30pm UTC TODAY (13th)
See you all in the OT later today.
Haha, "we are the 95%", got 5%!
thats like the time i get ready to leave work. hopefully they archive the stream.
They've archived all the others, so I'm sure they will this one too :)
I just wish the 10 hour counter would ignore character creation. Lord knows if it's half way decent I spend way too much time in it.
That makes things a lot easier to pick from if a bit disappointing. Then again I guess we don't really see our character outside of the Javelins a lot anyway.
Will preload when I get home today. Hopefully no server issues tomorrow when trying to play / login. I get off work at 2:00 PM PST and I'm looking to play once 2:30 PM hits! Going to be running some RTSS statistics on my rig to see if performance is any better this time around.
