I just need this game....its done something to me. I'm completely hooked. Don't even want to play anything else.
Lol same, I've actually straight up stopped gaming now - just gonna chill til it comes out.

Ah, unfortunate. Fingers crossed they learned from the demo issues and it all goes well!My main chance to play will be over the weekend...so don't really have that luxury.
The only reason I voted for GaaS Effect was because the others are pretty bad :P
I added the two 95% related ones because it became a lil' bit of a meme during the demo play sessions, especially VIP. While I'm already aware which one will win I liked the option of having a variety of funny, serious and meme focuses titles for people to choose from.I appreciate the nomination iFirez
Kinda of a tongue in cheek reference but I thought it was all in good fun.
I came up with Freelancers give it 95%
I'd say...
GaaS = Games as a serviceI feel a bit stupid but I don't even get the "GaaS Effect" one?
I must be missing something obvious.....
Welcome to why I didn't want that title, but as I explained in my post, rather than me just picking a different one, I'm letting the community choose. If they really want that one (which I think will win) then it's a decision made by the community at large, rather than just me.I went with "Guns don't kill people, abilities do" because 1) it's clever, 2) it highlights one of the big differences between Anthem and similar games, 3) it's educational for new players.
I think GaaS Effect is also clever and it got a chuckle out of me, but it sounds like a complaint about EA turning the Mass Effect IP into an easy cash cow and I'm not sure if that's the kinda vibe you wanna start off with in an OT about a game that's already gotten plenty of haters.
GaaS = Games as a service
Effect = Mass Effect (previous Bioware series).
Mash them together, you get GaaS Effect.

95% loading screen bug lol.
Like I said earlier in this thread, our opinions on this title are the same but I felt like it was necessary to include in the poll because of the vocal 'lovers' of that title and being unbiased I guess.
During the VIP Demo a bug plauged many players where they were stuck at 95% in loading screens and then couldn't progress any further.
Ah, ok.During the VIP Demo a bug plauged many players where they were stuck at 95% in loading screens and then couldn't progress any further.
Yeah. My thoughts are they'll come regardless. At least it's a clever title everyone can have a bit of fun with.Well we have a front runner
It's a clever title but it might bring out the haters but we'll just use our hater blockers.
There isn't an XP incentive?There is no point in playing on hard until you hit level 30, you'll replace your gear fast on the way up so an increased drop rate doesn't matter.
If it's anything like the demo then no, you get EXP by doing challenges and nothing from killing mobs, don't know if missions give them too.
I'd decided that, but the devs seem to think it's worth it to simply add to the challenge given recent tweets. I think if the balance is similar to the demo, normal is going to be too easy for a lot of people. But yeah, I'll only bump it up if anything seems too trivial. or I feel too OP.There is no point in playing on hard until you hit level 30, you'll replace your gear fast on the way up so an increased drop rate doesn't matter.
This argument is actually why I included it in the poll. The idea that "trolls will troll regardless of if they're incited to do so more by the title" is pretty much how I feel about it at the moment.So that's the big problem? People talking like "GaaS" is a dirty word. It's just a revenue model that's standard and present throughout the industry. That recent thread proved it's people's ignorance that's the problem, they don't see beyond bind lootbox mtx and evil corporations wanting to bleed their wallets dry.
If people come into the Anthem OT to shitpost, which they will regardless, moderators will channel the anthem of creation and fry their arses like the level 2 skorpion workers they are.
30 is when the game actually starts with looter shooters so it's fine if the road till there is easy.I'd decided that, but the devs seem to think it's worth it to simply add to the challenge given recent tweets.

Yeah, but from their trailers it was saying you're likely already at 30 by the time you're done with the main story, and as you only get one chance to play and enjoy that as a whole and it be fresh the one time so I don't personally want to be breezing through it. Whatever gear or level I have by the time I'm done is less important - we've got years afterwards to concern ourselves with that :)30 is when the game actually starts with looter shooters so it's fine if the road till there is easy.
Judging by the demo hard seems like a fun level of challenge, that's why I'm going for it. Might struggle a little early on when you have crappy gear but it should even out at some point.There is no point in playing on hard until you hit level 30, you'll replace your gear fast on the way up so an increased drop rate doesn't matter.
Wednesday (13th) at 6pm UTC is when the preload begins.
The one and only Neill Blomkamp is working on something Anthem related:
Good on you iFirez, I take back everything I said about your *insert most offensive loved one here*!
Haters gonna hate. I love the cheeky nature of the *redacted* title, Mass Effect is probably my favorite series ever and I find nothing malicious about the title.
The only title I'd like better would be
Anthem |OT| *Redacted*
but that is too meta ;)
I have no clue if I'd get time for it with Anthem being out - hit me up nearer the time and I'll see how busy I am. The Anthem OT and then the game its self are my main focuses right now.
The one and only Neill Blomkamp is working on something Anthem related:
It's a play on "Havin' a good time", if you say "Javelin a good time" out loud it sounds like "Ja havin' a good time" kind of. I think its a fun bit of word play.
I feel a bit stupid but I don't even get the "GaaS Effect" one?
