I asked around about this specifically (to be frank I haven't played yet).
Feats are specific to an expedition. Are you looking at the challenges in the cortex to see what you've done?
Devs seem pretty open about changes. We could see this changed come launch but being this close to launch....ehhhhhh. That's going to really kill people's enjoyment of the game.
This isn't "a small roadblock", its meaningless padding.Lol I cant believe people are complaining about that "grind". Actually I can with this game. It takes comparatively no time to get it done. Sorry that a small roadblock that is knocked down by basically playing the game got in the way of you powering through the story in a single day...
What does it look like now?Why did they remove those alien like landscapes from the reveal trailer? it looks much more generic now?!
No one is complaining about that segment because theyre trying to rush to end game. Theyre complaining about that section because fetch quests have run their course since the N64 era of gaming.The game has froze in the same mission at more or less the same portion of the map. I don't think I'm the only one either because the 3 attempts I've tried at least 1 other person has DC'd around that area before I did.
I think the heightened reaction is because they want to rush to end game and really see what the game is about. A lot of people, including myself, are starting to feel fatigued from doing everything that isn't combat. So to hit a soft road block like that, when they're already starting to feel like they may not like the game is probably going to be the final nail for a lot of people.
I was ready to get way into this game, but man, it's repetitive and I'm bored after 5 hours.
Hope you all continue to enjoy it.
REVEAL:
Sorry, I just personally think that something that takes maybe a total of an hour to do in a game that's meant for people to play for a loooong time isnt an issue. Especially since virtually every single one of those goals comes from just playing the game!
Once you do ~10 missions, and get to the freeplay stuff...
Here are the full requirements
All four are required to advance the main quest.
- Artinia: 5 World events, 30 Weapon defeats, 15 weak point defeats, 9 elite defeats
- Cariff: 3 missions, 30 gear defeats, 15 combos, 3 multikills
- Gawnes: 50 Melee defeats, 50 ult defeats, 3 legendary defeats
- Yvena: 15 chests, 25 harvests, 3 javs repaired, 10 collectibles
Fun Fact: Feat tracking is broken, so the only way to check progress is by manually flying to each tomb to see!
Yay! Isn't locking main storyline content behind an absurd grind fun? /s
Thanks. Top pic looks more interesting, true.
People want to play the game for a long time to have fun, not slog through trivial fetch quests from superman 64.Sorry, I just personally think that something that takes maybe a total of an hour to do in a game that's meant for people to play for a loooong time isnt an issue.

Your Gamertag/PSN name are what others see.
You can, but that mostly just is for your save file, I dont think anyone sees that.
Just got to this step. Bleh.
For those sticking with it, you can actually track it in the menus. It's really buried in there:
Challenges>Expeditions>Freeplay
Then select any of the Trials to track.

Thanks for the hyperbole expected in every anthem thread. Guess what? If you dont want to play the actual game of anthem, then anthem isnt for you. This isnt a game that's 4 hours long with an hour long interlude. This is a game that is designed to be played continuously. If you feel having to explore and get kills and just fucking play the game is too much off a chore, then fuck off and stop complaining. This game isnt for you. Neither is destiny btw. Or division.
If they load the rest of the game with fetch quests like this instead of actual gameplay and story and content I'll eat my words, but the number of people freaking out of this one instance like it's never existed in virtually every game loke this is ridiculous. Especially since all its asking you to do is play the game!

Can you launch missions from the launch bay? I can't see a way to do so other than going to Fort Tarsis.
The hub was added late in development. They originally were not going to have one until gamers complained. So no one should have been expecting much.Yea its quite terrible. Just an interior room with nothing going on. I get that its just a place to pick up missions or grab rewards but at least in Destiny they are visually stunning. Like the Tower is fantastic to look at with the entire sky lit up with planets in the background and with ships flying around etc. This is such a let down. There is no atmosphere even on Fort Tarsis.

Sorry but this particular person spent all their time with the demo shitting all over Anthem saying dumb things like it looked like a ps3 game, so coming in here and shooting off dumb things like comparing it in some way to Superman 64 is just par for the course of that poster.Dude I love Anthem but you are getting your hackles up way too much. If people find this a deal breaker that's completely fair. There's nothing wrong with them wanting a different gameplay experience even if you don't mind it personally.
I don't mind it myself but there's no excuse for telling people to fuck off.

Ok I am like 10 hours in and this game is seriously lacking any enemy that is interesting to fight with.
So far I have fought small guys, small guys that are "elite" that look exactly the same but with shield bar, small guys that are snipers, some weird elite enemy that has gas tanks on the back that is hilariously easy to defeat if you have a storm in your group since you can freeze him and just hold down the mouse till he dies some insect creatures and wyverns.
With the exception of the wyverns which are kinda cool cause they are airborne the rest are literally brain dead fodder with no AI to speak of so the game sends them out in numbers and the battles turn into a boring attrition match.
It makes me sad because the games movement mechanics are amazing and I would love to have a reason to utilize it. Hopefully some later enemies are more interesting but I am underwhelmed right now with how the fights are playing out.
What hyperbole? I was being entirely serious.Thanks for the hyperbole expected in every anthem thread. Guess what? If you dont want to play the actual game of anthem, then anthem isnt for you.

But you can't have the individual requirements pinned to the screen during gameplay, which is fucking asinine.
Literally gonna play this with a pen and paper tomorrow smh.
YesIs the social hub worse than the Monster Hunter World gathering hub?
