Jesus, the game just crashed my PC. Technically it's one of the worst games I've played in years.
It doesnt drop. Not only that, but theres no way to make your javelin look different (Apart from colors) other than buying 1 different armor for each class from the store. Yes, thats right. You cant even buy different armors.
Unless the game really didnt launch and on the 22nd there will be dozens of armors and skins to buy on the store, you are stuck while trying to change your Javelins appearance.
Wow, thanks, I'll try this.
EDIT:
THANK YOU!!!!!
I did the world mission to Defeat Ursix near the Honor Valley Dam. Got 2 of the revives I needed in about 5 minutes.

As I said, the stuff retroactively counting doesn't seem to happen to everyone.
Unless others are saying I somehow got to the Tomb Trials without doing any missions? (I record everything for work purposes.)
My Trials were entirely zeroed out. 100 percent. None of my previous repairs, missions, chests of world events counted.
As a Ranger, I slammed the ground with a melee attack while in air.
Not in a traditional way
I havent seen a significant amount of the game to say for definite, at least not from any stream I've watched
SO fucking dumb that chests opening only count if you open them. Basically makes team play pointless for the tomb. HATE some of the dumb design decisions in this game.
The menu does not work for a lot of people. You will have to consult the Tomb door to see how much it is left. Mine said I didnt do anything, but the door tracked the stuff that I did.
Gotta love the EA system of letting people try their game, beat it in under two days, run strong holds and contracts, repeat until they get bored and cancel sub all in under a month while they possibly wait for new content if another game doesn't get their attention first. That's gotta be the best deal ever.
on a scale of 1 to 10 how are people liking the story so far? That was the most interesting part for me going into this game.
Also, how is the content outside of the story? is there enough to keep your attention long term, or are people going to be good in a few weeks? Are you more than likely going to keep your sub or buy the full game?

Sounds great! I just got EA Access Basic and I'm downloading the 10 hour demo now. I would get it on Access Premier, but if I end up getting this game for real, I would want to play it on PS4.
Just go to the grindy part, just going to do side stuff till I clear easy ones before I start trying for ones I won't get thru normal play.
Fixed on the 22nd, anyone on team opens chest and u get credit.
That's weird. Hell destiny is primarily a FPS and that has visible armor changes. It's not like the profile and visibility of the Javelins is some big thing in the context of multiplayer. This reeks of cash shop bullshit.
Can't you do a Stronghold on Hard and just repair downed teammates there?
I just read a dev post to help a friend, they said 8 kills, each kill has to be done within 10 seconds of each other.
You can do it any way, going a collosus in easy mode and find a pack works.
The available items to buy changes weekly. It also appears that a lot of the earnable armor pieces are from the faction system. (This is also how you unlock the gold/silver/bronze/etc materials)
There absolutely is stuff in the MTX shop (Diamond Plate material being one), but from the current rate you can get Coin (~4500 coin per day for dailies, plus whatever you get from weeklies and the alliance system) none of it seems priced terribly.
My menu started updating just fine once I started doing stuff, and the doors match the menus. Later in the same recording.
My previous actions were not counted. Yes, it's likely a bug. Yes, it still happened.
They system for armor change is in place, but theres only 1 for each javelin. And you cant get more, just the two skins on store right now. Not even with some crazy "Complete all faction reputations" or something.
When not even the cosmetics are ready for launch, you know that Anthem will suffer a lot with content going forward.
Protip if you're struggling with the "heal javelins" tomb requirement; go into a Hard mission, do nothing to help your team, heal them when they die and then exit. Did all 3 within 5 minutes. #Teamplayer
11 down, 4 to go. Got world events, treasure chests, legendary defeats and collectibles left, all the boring ones basically :\

I'm not going to lie, I'm enjoying it but not in love with it so far.
Not sure how long I'm going to stick around or if this going to be something I can put nearly 300 hours in like Monster Hunter World.
Just do free roam and do some world missions by yourself. Each one will give you a chest, plus you are bound to find 5-10 more just exploring while looking for world missions.
Honestly, I didn't have any problems with any of it other than revive javelins, but now I see that NPC revives will work, so nothing on the list was a chore AT ALL.
So many mixed feelings. I love Bioware and Anthem is not a bad game but the experience feels a little disappointing. This is Project Dylan we are talking about, a game six years in the making. It was announced as something that will push the envelope for storytelling in an online environment. Does it?
The game is also really modest in some production areas. Only one biome (jungle), limited number of enemies, very few weapon models. I also think that the underlying RPG systems are paperthin, they are barely there. I mean, people hate Inquisition but it craps all over Anthem in terms of systems, variety and production values.

Anyone else trying to start the access trial only for it to tell you that you don't own the game?
That has been my past 2 hours.
edit: Like anything else once a I complain it decides to work to make me look lile a fool.

The mission structure is really thin. Six hours in and it is go to place, kill everything, do it three times and then back to Tarsis.
And it is another lonely social game. Minimal interaction that does not really do anything meaningfull to the game. And the game really ignores the other players. The story dos not acknowledge them and they are just there during the missions.
I don't see how the multiplayer benefits this game at all besides making the battles easier.

Many people I followed on Twitter share a similar feeling. General consensus is game while have some interesting aspects "and looks pretty", it seemed very hollow. One guy literally said after 17 hours of play, 5 hours are actual content, 10 hours are filler and 2 hours are loading screens. Funny thing is a lot of those people are actually excited playing the Demo...
The review thread for this on ERA will be interesting to watch....
Not sharing treasure chest opens between squads is so stupid. It's almost like this multiplayer shooter wants to discourage teamwork lmao
It's worse than that. The final mission turns into a repeatable dungeon. They're doing it as a dungeon.
The new player would've matchmaked into a random dungeon and was sent straight into the final mission of the game. With the dialogue still and everything.
edit: Another new player was just sent into their match 😐. You also can't set dungeons to a private lobby, so any new player that searches for a dungeon is potentially going to get screwed.
Wait, what? The final mission becomes a Stronghold to be farmed?
I get a lot of pistols and shotguns, while LMGs and marksman rifles are not as common, and assault rifles are the most rare drops for me. But I think it's more or less the same, I always have something to upgrade after each mission, and I still need to disassemble lots of loot quite often. You're also encouraged to craft every now and then, the mats are plentiful.
Anything wrong with that? That's how it is in The Division too.
Internet speed at work. Next up we'll settle on "its OK", and then start the process over again on Friday when the PS4 players jump in.
It's my understanding that armor components drop (basically, mods), but actual armor pieces that change the look of your Javelin are only available through the cosmetics store for earned gold or in-game currency.
So I just looked at Twitch. Is it true people who had early access already beat the story mode and are in the "endgame"? As in they already beat the story mode?
After only a couple of days?

He's right. Gameplay aside there is just so many technical issues this is going to be ME:A and Unity all over again. When do reviews drop?
I mean, these are people that play for upwards of 12 hours a day, so it shouldn't be too surprising.
People beat Destiny 2 story in several hours, and The Division within a day. It's nothing outrageous. Lots of people have a lot of free time.
Still that is really disappointing for me. I was expecting more from the story mode than that.
That makes this a Gamefly for sure then. God that sucks.
