About the game world... i REALLY hope im wrong about it but i have a feeling that we see the whole map in the alpha already :/
Awful. I have a 1080ti and 8700k. Playing the game at 4k on the medium preset puts my FPS all over the place. You'll never get 60fps unless you're in a narrow area, but I didn't expect much from an alpha.
On a side note, the game is amazing. It gives me mass effect vibes with the social focus of destiny.
EDIT: I should mention that even on medium, the game looks amazing.
I also have the same specs but a 1440p monitor. I had no graphical hiccups and everything was ultra.
Right. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing - overall I'm guessing it's just over half the combined map size of all the maps in Monster Hunter World, so that's not necessarily a dealbreaker. The thing about MHW though is that those maps plus the way the monsters interact with them on the hunts is what makes that game. Until we know what the repeatable missions are actually like, it's very hard to know how well they'll make use of that map.
I'm running an i9-9900k w/ a 2080 ti, and 32gb of ram on an m2 ssd, and was getting steady 60fps at 4k with everything maxed.
However, the light/dark (adaptive exposure) was absolutely horrible. Game needs a lot of lighting balancing, or at least a far better exposure control system.
And there's no FOV slider, I mean, come on, already.
Anthem is made up of from the OG Mass Effect team correct? Maybe even some DICE team members with Frostbite powering it. Im hopeful map size and content will be decent. EA needs Anthem to be a hit after Mass Effect Andromeda's launch. Battlefield V launch wasn't all that great either but BFV is in better shape now.
Absolutely amazing. Optimization wizardry going on here and I'm impressed
Exactly why I don't want to keep playing the alpha and demos. lol
At least Anthem will have a solid, lengthy story....hopefully.
There's also a large amount of underground, underwater and out of the beaten path areas that intertwine that don't exactly translate to the 2D map.
I definitely have thoughts, but I'll of course refrain from writing them down anywhere until folks have a chance to try out the beta. (I'll give the beta a whirl, too.)
It's almost like they took out all the content for some kind of stress test or something.
Thanks.
I have a similar system, but my CPU is a 8700K@ 4.9, everything else the same so this bodes promising for the final release.
Thanks.
Why do some people think an ALPHA is a finished game. This was more for Bioware than us. Next month will be the real deal.
They are soliciting that - in their tester forums. Posting it HERE is literally just breaking the NDA for the exact reason that NDAs exist to begin wtih: Because it's an issue they're aware of and claim to have already fixed internally. All it does is spread misinformation. Hence me now having to come in and correct it, which is avoided by just not breaking it in the first place. If you think it's an issue in 2 months when they're running betas then it's probably worth telling people, but right now when they made a post specifically addressing that point? It's just adding confusion for people.
It's not about 'answering' your criticism - it's about the fact that they addressed it BEFORE you even played the game, and you agreed not to discuss things like that for that very reason. There is a time and place for criticism, and indeed if they had not made that post that would be VERY valuable feedback (in private, on the forums as intended), but since they did it's meaningless at this point. All you can do is wait and see if they did in fact address it in the future like they said.
"Please keep in mind that we've disabled most of the game's features and mechanics with the intent to focus on server performance. You won't be able to see most of the open world, RPG elements or use any customization options which will be available at launch. "
You're either intentionally being obtuse or you genuinely think an RPG only has 1 mission.
Either way, you're just spreading garbage misinformation
You can't fight underwater though, right? It's just traversal?
I disclosed nothing confidential in my original post in this thread. "The PC version needs work." was the entirety of my comment. If you consider that text to be breaking the NDA, then what is your response that brought up an issue specific to Anthem's Closed Alpha build?
I also disagree with your assertion that my post was feedback or an impression of the game. Furthermore, if my "misinformation" is weighed heavily enough to cost EA a sale in three months when this game is released, then that person is a fool to consider an internet stranger's out-of-date opinion to be so important instead of relying on current information.
In any case, this particular conversation is adding nothing of value to the thread and I've already elaborated on my concerns via EA's forums, so I'll call it here. Feel free to have the last word if you'd like to respond.
That's absolutely breaking the NDA. And that's why I brought up the M+K issue since it was known ahead of time, and it sounded like you possibly weren't aware. You don't need to get defensive about it, but it's not about 'considering' it breaking the NDA - it IS breaking the NDA, and it's doing it for the exact reason the NDA exists in the first place.
Alpha forums, and they're gonna send out a questionnaire to your email soon.
It's amazing for an alpha. At launch this thing might do 60fps 4k on a 1080ti with high settings. I was at 60fps 4k maxed on a 2080ti.
Right, but I mean the waterways lead to other areas (caverns, caves, ruins etc).
In terms of open world scale and activities, Anthem is comparable to The Division, not Destiny.
There are open spaces where you can roam around freely as well as dungeons and mission areas in many spots.

Any conversation or sharing with a "3rd party" of anything related to the Alpha, aside from mentioning your participation, can reasonably be construed as a breach of the NDA.
Based on what has been made publicly available, this is way off base.
And I loved Sea of Thieves.
So this thread is basically a giant breach of NDA judging from what I read here. Mods are OK with this ?
It's more or less a giant breach and I have no idea. I reported 1-2 and nothing was done about it.
lol Why would the mods even be involved? They nor ERA isn't under a NDA.
We had threads here and on the old board for other closed alphas including Sea of Thieves.
I don't think the mods (actually, everyone who has no affiliation with EA) have any obligation to warn people for breaching the NDA of video games, including Anthem. It's entirely EA's job.
Good to know, didn't know the policy. Basically, we're free to share anything NDA related here then ?
If you want to risk them terminating your EA Account, sure.
I mean ERA discusses leaks and breaches of NDA all the time. lol The only folks who'll land in hot water are those that individually agreed to said NDA like Anthem's alpha for example.
Oh, I'm not on the Alpha, but how do they make the link between people here and those in the Alpha anyway ?
They can't. At most they'd check to see if your era username is in their system. Even then it's not like they could just ban an account because it has the same name or something similar.
They'd check usernames. Other than that, it'd take a really, really bold move--like posting a screenshot with a watermark of your EA handle lol.
Probably a similar way Rockstar tracked down and sent a legal rep to a ERA member's home because they leaked gameplay from RDR2 that was under a reviewer's NDA...all from just his ERA user name.
Where there's a will, there's a way. lol
