You don't lose your loot. They're stored in your inventory, but still encrypted until you complete a mission. Just start a free roam and complete it right away, you'll receive them.

Not sure how could someone doubt that, specially in the current state of the game. I'm not even surprised stuff gets fixed fast because the game has the majority of it's data server side, so it's easier and understandable that can be fixed fast.
But again, that's just a bug, higher difficulties being worthless is the actual problem here. They will surely increase drop rates even higher now.
Also, the chest thing is already fixed?
That doesn't seem to always work. I just posted a situation above where I lost close to 2 hrs of loot, even after rejoining a session.
You did not lose the drops. Go into free play and then immediately go back to the fort you will get your drops. They are still there, just queued for completion
Just had my first major bug in Quickplay tonight. (there have been some disconnects and one infinite loading issue) Had the end of the Javelin of Dawn mission, where you have to finish the enemies pouring out of two Dominion portals. They never stopped. It just kept going, 25 minutes later. Went through five poeple cycling in and out of the mission before I gave up.
I guess that's one way to look at it lol.
I think I've been in this gaming thing for long enough to know when something is beyond repair and when I see potential for something cool. In Anthem that potential is there, but it hasn't been fully untapped yet, and neither will it be over the next week or two. It'll be probably be only after a few of those "Acts" that they will be able to right the ship a bit... Now the question is whether one is willing to take the trip alongside them or play the waiting game. Anthem is probably gonna be at its best in a few months to a year, but without a strong community driving change, change won't happen.
I have a feeling they'll have a very limited window of opportunity to fix this sinking ship. Who knows who's to blame for this mess, but if it's not EA, I don't see them having much patience.
how do i get missions? do i just need tof uckign freeplay? exploratin crap? in order to gather shit and be able to conitnue? i dont see anyone on the hub to talk to,,all i have are freeplay crap icons on the map.
EA in general doesn't do as well as others with post-launch support. Like if this was an Ubisoft game? It would be no question. This as much a test for Bioware as for EA to see what they can really do with Anthem.
Doesn't it feels like they are using the earlier consumers as quality control? I mean, how the hell there are so much stuff beeing corrected like this? What where they thinking with the tombs quest, or litle quality of life features? Nobody tell them that something wasn't right?
i remember in the demo after a DC...u could load back into Freeplay. And then back out and ur loot u thought u lost would be there in the reward screen.
not sure about how it works now. I've heard that lower tier loot doesn't go to ur post office or whatever. But only epic/masterwork/legendary loot does, if u missed and and didn't pick it up
Decrease drop rate of higher tier gear in chests (don't eliminate it), then increase drop rates much more for GM levels across the board and put in some guaranteed drops in strong holds, especially for boss kill. No one should walk away from a 90 min strong hold run without at least one legendary. They don't have to abandon their any loot anywhere system. They just need to slightly nerf chests and massively buff activities, specifically stongholds that seem like they take longer and longer as difficulty increases.
Weird. Your loot should've been stored server-side. There's probably a bug after all, or issue with server syncing due to the disconnect.
Remember that SWTOR happened. A full price + subscription service MMO that failed tremendously. It's still alive and well now, even better than at launch.
Anthem will be fine.
Yikes. Spent 2hrs running around on GM3, only have premier for a month and will be solely playing on ps4 so don't judge me, opened tons of chests and only ended up with 2 masterworks. 30-35 chests and 2 worthwhile drops. If they lower that, man oh man.
Yeah, that is no loot cave 2.0. They just need to massively buff the drop rate for other activities. It took Diablo 3 a while to figure it out, but they eventually got there. When you have tons of stat variables with each roll of a legendary, you need to drop them like candy during high level end game content. I remember when Diablo 3 did the "double drop rate on legendaries weekend" and everyone was like.. that..that is the right setting and they just made it permanent.
Not sure what bug you've encountered, but when I got locked out of a stronghold room for arriving too late, I was able to go to the map and quit the expedition from there (hold F on the PC version, not sure about controller/consoles). Possible you've already tried this/can't get to the map, in which case ignore me!
Colossus is amazing.
I definitely like it more than the Ranger. Haven't played the other two.
The game's combat is really fantastic.
Have no way to confirm but I read on Reddit if you get locked out of a room from your squad, select "respawn" from the map menu and you should respawn in the door. No idea if this works but maybe worth a shot.
Yeah, now that I think about it maybe it just didn't get flagged for decryption after rejoining the session or something?
I didn't actually try to load into another freeplay as I didn't think it would matter because I rejoined and made it to the complete screen and got th e last 30 min or so worth of loot.
It could be that I suppose or just another bug. I was really hoping to get some epic stuff for my ranger too.
This was all after I got the 0 progress bug on the Temples and spent half my day redoing missions and such, so I was a little annoyed to be honest.
Yeah, I had that happen to me during the beta multiple times. The biggest issue was when you got DCed right before or during the complete screen.
Sometimes it would work and give me the loot in a different freeplay but at least 2 times even loading into freeplay gave me nothing.
In this last case it was a bit weird because I still managed to rejoin the session and make it to the complete screen, but the only stuff I saw was the 5-6 items I collected in the last 30 mins.......
yup, Diablo had the right ratio of loot, I'd say Division also , min-maxing was the end game for these games
Each items has 4 inscription slots, each slot has dozens of possibilities, and each possibility has a stat range. If loot isn't thrown at you like post d3 loot 2.0 patch, as you said, it's gonna be rocky. If they scale drops to the hardcore grinders, a casual player may never see a legendary before they put down the game.
Went into a stronghold and the game spawned two of us separate from the other two, locked behind doors further into the dungeon. After 5 minutes of trying to find our way to them, I opened menu and seen the respawn option. I used it and it indeed put me back with the group. It works!
Up to 17 hours now, and I'm still doing the missions (Don't think I'm too far into the campaign). I just bumped up to the difficulty above default (Hard, I guess), and I'm definitely enjoying it. It has faults that match the genre. I mean, from Destiny 1 and 2, to The Division, to this, it's all got the same trappings. I do enjoy the focus on story. I'm just concerned that the internet has turned on the game and people won't ever give it a fair chance.
I really do think they'll leverage this whole "unformed world" thing into having the jungle change biomes. Imagine it frozen over? I bet we'll see some shit like that. It'll be pretty cool. Maybe that's a production nightmare and, by extension, a pipe dream. Seems like a rational place to take this, though.

ME:A also happened, and had its planned DLC with story hooks in the base game cancelled.
I think Anthem will perform better, but some skepticism is justified.
It was just a rumor, they never planned for story DLC for ME Andromeda. And since the game didn't sell that well, of course there's no reason to develop any for the game.
It still happens, but instead of simply stuck at 95% and requires the game to be force-closed, there's an error now and you'll be sent back to main menu/Fort Tarsis.
He also made a thread on Reddit about the changes made to the tombs: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheG...anges_to_tomb_of_the_legionnaires_challenges/
Still happens at times, but not as often.
I had it happen last night while trying to rejoin a mission after a DC.
Had to Alt + F4 and even then the game wouldn't launch until I went into the task manager and killed the process.
See that was the wrong fix. Instead of looking at the pitiful GM drop rates, they instead nerfed the chests.
It doesn't, or at least it didn't for me. I read that solution a bunch of times, and I think other people have followed up saying that it works if you're in freeplay but not if you specifically launched into the stronghold? (I'm not even sure you can enter a stronghold from freeplay, to be honest.) In any case, the map showed no options for respawning for me.
That's what I just did with my Colossus, I noticed the bugs starting to swarm on a couple of the Rangers on the team and I just knocked them all down with my shield to get them away from my team.
I mean, you're not wrong, I shouldn't have to put the game on my SSD to get loading times closer to 30-40 seconds.
Yeeeessss.

-The Storm javelin now reacts to getting hit when its shields are up
why would Storm react to getting hit if its shield is up?...if the shield is up that means they should not be getting hit
Might be enough to get this up to a flat 7 meta if the loading + disconnect improvements are significant enough.
Yeah, even the enemies with shield don't react to getting hit. Unless they also nerf them the same way.
Seems like Storm nerf and other javelins buff overall (excluding Ranger).
That is exactly why. Because I didn't have any friends playing it I also did it completely solo and thought of it as that kind of experience BUT, if you added in some randoms running around the world that could team up with you or had a social hub where you could team up etc etc, it would totally be similar to these games. I think that's why people expect the next game to be Destiny-like since it would be a natural evolution of the series.
Holy cow I would rage at that "Players can no longer salvage equipped items" bug.
Hope to god no one currently playing salvaged a needed masterwork/legendary item
On topic though, those are some good updates.
