They have come out and said some of the stuff is fixed specially the audio bug and fixes to the trials mission.
The extent of how this game was not tested before launch (I am giving the benefit of the doubt here and going forward Im just going to assume EA told Bioware to pack up what they had and release the game in any state it was in).
1- I started a stronghold, It went well until the last part, where it would trigger the boss to end the mission.
2- The boss didnt trigger, making progress impossible. I gave the idea to the squad of dying in the lava so maybe it would reset things and progress the mission.
3- After some minutes waiting for the lava to kill us, the progress reset and the boss appeared, but two of the squadmates were gone. Disconnected or they quit, I will never know.
4- The boss appeared and me and the other guy/girl started damaging it. After 5 minutes using ults and skills (We were destroying the mobs earlier) the boss health bar didnt even moved a pixel. I think it scaled to 4 people, or it was just invincible. We tried for some minutes more, but even with all the skills and ults it didnt even make a deant. Like, the bar didnt even move.
5- We decided to quit, forgoing all the xp rewards we got until then.

What you're talking about here is the loose skeleton of the story arc. Which was never going to be a unique thing to begin with. The story isn't in the outline, it's in the dialogue. It's in the moment to moment. And in those areas, I feel Bioware has done fairly well. It isn't groundbreaking or award winning but it's better than the vast majority of story in video games.
Does it count the things you have already done when you get to that part? Like I have already revived three people, will I not have to go and do that again?
I'm quite sure the day one patch is still a work in progress. The game launched way too early because the financial calendar, can't see any other reason to have this bugged version available in open beta and to reviewers who will assassinate Anthem metacritic score.
It's the dumbest launch I ever witnessed.
To be honest, no I haven't, but I will now, thanks!
I'm more concerned about knowing whether the long and frequent loading screens are going to be fixed, or whether we're stuck with them. Also about whether getting stuck away from a group, has been fixed. But thank you for telling me that they have given some feedback.
I'm sorry if I sound whiny or anything, it's just that I was really looking forwards to playing this game. Going to start my 120 hour trial now, and see if I'm going to keep my preorder...
The first person town really confuses me, it's a terrible design decision and actively makes the game worse. I'm not sure in what way they thought it would be good, I certai l'y can't work it out.
Man the story and characters fall into almost every pitfall of generic fantasy/sci-fi media. Too Uninteresting Things With Capital Letters and I just start tuning out immediately.
It does count things you've done previously but those things need to have been done while in Freeroam.
yeah, im not a fan either. But ill have to see how its implemented throughout the whole game before I say that for sure.
This game is unapologetically demanding of older hardware. I upgraded my video card for this (and Division 2) but no doubt there are plenty of gamers who are getting frustrated. Every group I've been in has at lease one player that loads in 20-30 seconds behind everyone else. Has anyone isolated the issue yet? We suspected it was game loading on SSD vs HDD but haven't substantiated this with any other user findings online...
Nooooo my time is up, don't think I've played 10hrs of a game in 3 days since forsaken dropped. Looking forward to to the 22nd.
Its surprisingly bad.
I think Bioware usually has a good sense of humor (find it generally entertaining in ME and DA) but I just kind of want to strangle Owen with my Colossus.
Same. Just cancelled. I'll pick it up down the road but right now I just can't in the state that it's in.
Nah, DA4 is coming. It's been in development. EA is not going to abandon it.
I played the demo, but we only got one actual story mission which I thought was decent. But, since the demo just threw you in like a quarter in, I figured the full game would be better.
Ah, that sounds mildly better. I guess I'll know next week.
lmao
Almost all of the bugs, super long load times, and general weirdness of the game I've experienced go away when I play missions in Private mode.
Guess I'll just solo-warrior this thang.

I doubt this is true. It was announced with a CG teaser. All resources are on Anthem right now, with the exception of a small number of people planning DA4. Its not like a studio hasnt been shutdown before mid production even though i doubt this will happen but I doubt they have anything substantial done for DA4.
Since I preordered and preloaded ofcourse I'll wait but don't lie and say you fixed shit ton from the demo and at the end they weren't fixed. This is what pissing me off the most. My 10 hours trial got burned because I had to deal with shit
I have new/top of the line everything except CPU (just an 8700K) and the loading screens take time and are far too frequent.
Unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better.
Somehow I managed to complete 2 of the tombs. Of course now I have no clue what I need for the other two. Bleh. This shit is so dumb.
Anyone had a glitch on the last mission where it just throws up a brick wall after the "travel further" objective? I think it must mean there was an enemy we hadn't killed but we scoured the whole damn map and then all my teammates left :(
My initial impression is that this is NOT the game i was hoping it to be. Was living in DENIAL that there was a hidden great singleplayer-experience in there, where the real Bioware would flex their muscles once again. Never been impressed by lootshooters and/or online gaming so definitely not for me personally, but it should please people who are into bullet-sponge type of games.
Imagine Anthem Origins/Inquisition. A story driven Bioware-classic in the open world of Anthem. That is the SP-experience i was hoping for, because it would look and play amazing. As it actually does in its current state. Fuck denial!

I don't doubt this either, they're probably still in pre-production. But, EA owned and established IP's are a part of EA's business strategy. They need games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. They don't need Star Wars games, hence why they keep getting shuffled around.
Go to the Cortex and then look for Challenges, Expeditions, Freeplay, and then you'll see the tombs (I think).
It's over-designed and somewhat counterintuitive, but it's there.
Hovering in the air and raining destruction from above as Storm is fun. Flying, mostly fun. Visuals look pretty on my PC.
Everything else is pretty messy. I hope that in a few months when there's some free DLC, as well as whatever patches, that it improves things.

The game has released on the 15th. That's the facts. Making people wait 7 days is a decision by EA to get Premier subscriptions. Nothing more, nothing less.
The game should be fully judged by what it is now and not by what it could be. I can tell you one thing though, come 22nd of February not much will change. There's no way they can fix the insane amount of loading screens and boring quest design this fast. There's areas of major rework needed.
This is true. What people might not realize is that Mark Darrah and Mike Laidlaw were the two top people on Dragon Age, and that in mid-2017 BioWare rebooted DA4, put it on hold for a while, and moved Darrah to Anthem. (Laidlaw left the studio.)
Matt Goldman (who was art director on previous DA games) took over Laidlaw's job as creative director, but Darrah has still been on Anthem. Presumably now he's moving back to Dragon Age, but when the studio's top Dragon Age person has been on something else for the past two years, that means DA4 is very, very early in development.
There are caves and underwater areas. But as far as massive biome changes, none exist (from what I've seen).
Had this happen to me. Had to leave and restart the mission.
Haven't seen Much yet. My 10 hours trial finished so I'll have to wait till Friday
It's still quite fun to fly and combat is nice. BUT:
- enemies load after 10-20 second so I see my friends shooting air, I have flashbacks of late pop-in in Rage
- TOO MUCH WAITING. Seriously. Do I really have to go back to base after ever single little contract and side-mission...? Jesus.
- It's weird seeing nice cut-scene during a mission. You just go through this rather empty world and BAM, cutscene, many NPCs, cool stuff and then loading... and you're just fighting a bunch of dudes without any of those companions, or maybe just one, but you can't even interact with them.
- Oh, and also it has weird gated content. To continue with tha MAIN STORY quite early on you have to complete some simple tasks like "Kill X enemies with gear" or "Complete 3 side missions". Seriously? And someone pls tell me this isn't to just make the game longer.

The world is probably a decent size but it's a pain to get around (due to flight overheat and big rock walls all over the place) and every inch of it looks more or less the same, thus making it feel relatively small.
