Anthem Prelaunch Discussion Thread (Origin Premier/EA Access: Feb 15th) - Time To Fly FreelancEra

Devs have talked about players of different level being able to play together without high level and super geared player rolfstomping everything as game scales him down to relatively same power as you are on level 17.
You can turn it off. That was not possible ingame in the demo.
Seems not. Handy chart:
Just saw you did, retweeted.
They added the toggle for HDR support in the menu, so if people do not want to run it they can manually turn it off.
Fuck man, that was the only good thing about the Colossus, instead of buffing it they nerf.
Definitely seems like they've improved survivability though, which is a bonus. Hopefully there are more good synergies to be found.
Think about us poor Xboxers who already PAID for the game and get kicked to the curb for a week after playing 10 hours. Dumbest shit EVER. Like I said before 10 hours in a looter shooter is the equivalent of a tutorial in other games
Hmm. Well, if this actually turns out to be true, then my initial assumption about the game being tuned to four players and "normalizing" their gear against the content (given people in disparate setups), which would be solely based off of four players was only somewhat accurate. Depending on how this actually works in practice, it sounds like it's going to scale very differently than I thought and it shouldn't be too bad. It does still sound like some people might end up really carrying the rest, but it doesn't sound like the disparity will be all that bad. This will make randoms a lot easier to deal with.
As far as levels go, I guess in the back of my mind that wasn't really a factor, since I was mainly concerned with level 30 and Hard or GM levels. Wasn't actually considering anyone lower being paired up, especially since you can't even do GM1 until 30 anyway correct?
I dont know what I was expecting today, but they only showed a couple things they had already confirmed they were putting in. Was kinda pointless to be honest :/
Not gonna lie, some of the things on the "that change is actually coming out on the 22nd" list makes paying extra cash to play the game early sound less appealing.
Well that was a waste of time. They really did not mention much at all. I still need to know if performance on "X" has been fixed and while they said walking speed in the hub is fixed, they did not say if it was for the 15th or 22nd. Earlier, like a week or two they said 22nd, but in this short, pointless livestream they did nto specify. Wish they answered more questions and spoke about more of the concerns like performance and stuff.
You can sprint in the full game. Some extra small improvements on the 22th.
They also said before this stream that console performance was improved. We will have to see though what that exactly means on launch.
Even though we got a slightly delayed launch time for Early Access, I still think its about time to drop the OT. Other games launching this Friday like Metro and Crackdown already have their OT's up... so it's time for Anthem to get the OT treatment I think.
Man I'm so hyped for this! Friday is going to be rad. After that, I'll have to wait again :(
Sorry if old but can I pre-load the game on EA Acces on X1X? I don't seem to find the answer...

So they added enemy arrow indicators to let you know enemies might be off screen, despite the fact that they were never hard to find in the first place since they already showed up on the compass anyway? Unless it is more of a proximity indicator instead of just a general notification that enemies are "around".
Menu UI is a lot cleaner and easier to use.

it got pushed back a day
MMO's have done this for as long as I can remember. ESO is doing it this year, pre-order the expansion and you get to play x amount of days early. This is nothing new in this realm.
Guess we'll have to wait until we can actually play. Just a few more days!
A lot of people that consider themselves "good" at multitasking end up actually being worse at productivity than they thought, and humans don't really multitask anyway. We switch between tasks rapidly.
I guess it makes the wait until the 22nd a bit shorter, lol!
Sure, but pre-order perks in arguably the most successful multiplayer-oriented games/MMOs don't result in muddied full release windows of a week or more. EA and another company or two I think have been pretty egregious on what they can push on this front, especially with full cost titles, that it detracts from the experience.
Compared to say, getting a preload in to play immediately at midnight vs. buying a boxed copy in the morning or even attending a physical midnight release event.
Anyway the thing I came here to post was that the biggest word I'd describe my thoughts about Anthem is cautious. Not overly optimistic or pessimistic, but pretty solidly in the middle. Just don't know enough right now and I've been burned enough times by BioWare in the past that I'm not riding a hype train, but I don't think it looks absolutely horrid either. Only the fully released product will be enough to tell if it's good, and that question has to be asked a month or more down the line repeatedly, because if the endgame is lacking and/or not built upon, there's no reason to invest much money or time in the product with the competition that exists unless you really like the specific aesthetic more.
iFirez's awesome OT is up:
OT
OT
Yesss, though it kind of looks like more of a correction of a wrong release time on the Origin client than a delay. Anyway, now it's 10am EST/3pm GMT on Friday.
Would assume so, I haven't heard anything about different times for different platforms.
How does this hidden content thing work?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out!
