Yeah, but I understand 10% more heat capacity but not the "heat threshold" thing.
So the tombs "grind" was non-existent. I was able to open the first three instantly, and the fourth I just needed to run two more world events for chests.
I was expecting something crazy, like a Destiny grind.

Mine were not retroactive. It sounds like they're supposed to be.
I keep trying to do the stronghold, the mine one from the demo, but every single time I join it puts me halfway through the mission, stuck in an area that I cannot leave. Cannot go forward and cannot backtrack to where I believe the rest of the party is. Broken AF.
Boy that optimization patch really needs to be good. 'cause god damn the game chugs on the xbox one x after a certain point.
my tombs took an hour, hard part was the chests but I guess I was lucky finding random chests about?
Edit: When my quest started for the tombs, 2 of them were already close to being done, note I was doing a lot of freeplay too, maybe why mine was quick when I got the quest

Nah, for some of us, there was some obvious bug where we started from scratch. The stuff is supposed to retroactive, but it wasn't.

There's a lot of obvious craft in Anthem, marred by some odd design decisions.
He was not cheering it on he was optimistic but his EA hatred makes me think he could never give it a positive review regardless.
this was also in the demo, they could have learned from Destiny, and just spawn the new player beside the existing players
yup, this was also in Division 2 but at least Massive acknowledged it during their beta
Man the difficulty difference between beta hard and retail hard is a nice jump. Took about twice as long to clear the first stronghold in the retail game. Also didn't help that I had a squad that was going down every other minute outside of myself even though I was level 10 and there were 14, 17, and 22.
Retroactive? I think it was for nobody, but when you accept the mission all what you do counts for completing the tombs
He did praise Apex despite his EA hatred, something in your narrative doesn't check out.
That seems like an odd way to gate things. What about gamers with disabilities?
I'd rather have text chat than force everyone to have a mic.
Other than bugs it's all good?
Good to know it isn't tiring then. I don't mind the grind but not F2P MMO grind
Sounds like people didn't get retroactive credit, which would be a huge pain. If it works as intended, it's fine, like mine was.
For some it was, and I believe that's the intended effect.
Basically, when you get the trials, it's supposed to count all the things that you did before you actually received the quest. So if you did 20 missions before you received the quest, it should say 20 out of 30 completed. For some, it's starting at zero.
it looks like you will get it after a successful mission completion
they should have an NPC like the postmaster from Destiny so people won't panic
Like, one of the trials asks you to complete 5 world events. Let's say I did 5 world events before getting to the tomb section, that trial should already be complete when I find the tomb. It sounds like for some reason, they weren't counting, and people are having to satisfy those conditions from scratch, which is very time consuming.
Click in the R3 on the expedition screen to switch to private. You cannot go private for Freeplay or Strongholds, though.
Glitches and loading screens are starting to annoy people. Yes, the gameplay is fun but it's the experience is hampered by too many annoyances in a game like this.
"Narritive" god this website I'm not forming a narrative I'm just saying what I see. I've been following him since before he did reviews. Go look at his channel and go look at the top watched videos and you will see what I mean if his Twitter isn't enough.
Apex is a great non controversial game that gamers love. Even people that don't like EA and origin are playing it kinda hard to be negative.
This game people will get more hits if they dislike or hate it to the extreme. I'm not saying his issues with the game are not real I'm sure they are but it's not in his best interest to like the game he overlooked a lot of issues with division for example because he enjoyed it.
For me personally I lived and loved Destiny 1 dispite its low 60s scores and it's massive grinds and issues for that first year and then even D2 with its stuff. So I can live and put up with a lot if I enjoy what a game is trying to do or if I enjoy the combat or lore.
This thread is showing I won't be welcome to enjoy this game here though which is a shame.
It has a terrible grind in the middle of the story that can only be described as "padding because this game would last 6 hours if this wasn't here"
I haven't posted at all in this thread, because I've been busy playing the game, but me and my friends are having a great time with it. I don't know what to say. The game is great. Having a blast with it. For the record, I just hit the tombs section.
I'm guessing that's the endgame high level stuff, I just want to do the campaign without someone being pissed at me or whatever lol.
Thanks!
For contracts, agent quests and story missions, you should be fine. A buddy of mine just finished the story and did it entirely solo.
Ignorant people often say the same about Destiny. Games like this are more than the story you play at launch. I'm not up to end game so I can not speak to it but it's not like the game is suppose to be over once the story is done.
I don't really think we're at the point where there are divisive features in Anthem that you can overlook. Spending almost half the time on a loading screen is not something anyone can reasonably claim to enjoy.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but have you tried moving the game to an SSD? It makes a huge difference.
I can clock my load times, but they're not bad on an SSD.
can this improve the console loading times? been looking at SSD prices
Oh, sorry. I don't know. I just assumed people playing in Early Access are on PC. Do the consoles support SSDs?
This thread is living proof to not even pay attention to the first 50 or so pages of an OT.
That's the honeymoon phase.
That's the honeymoon phase.
Sure I can get that but like subjective opinions and all.
I haven't played on my PC yet as I'm still building it but on console I put the game on my external SSD and it honestly doesn't feel much different to Destiny loading.
I will say objectively Destiny hides it better in the presentation though.
Yes, and streamers timed the loading times on SSDs, it's still terrible.
Some loading screens are fast and just annoying (like the Forge one), but some can take two or more minutes even on SSDs. That's simply crazy. Plus the amounts of them, you often hit 6+ loading screens between the beginning and the end of a single short mission - loading into the mission, loading because the game teleports you to the group, loading into a cave, loading out of the cave, loading the end mission screen, loading forge, loading Tarsis...
Huh, that's super weird. My load time is like, 20-30 seconds tops. Same with my friends. I noticed it was considerably better than it was in the demo.
A buddy of mine was having horrific load times on HDD, and he switched it to SSD and the difference was night and day.
Wait, how long did it take you to see the ending? Don't you only have 10 hours for EA early access?
Sure, but most people has finished the story with level 15-18.
It doesn't take that much to see that in this thread, Twitter, reviewers, Reddit, etc. hitting level 30 for the endgame is "nope" situation, specially after the story grind (which highlights even more the terrible loading screens and the stale mission variety).
