so i just got to lvl 16 and am trying storm (man its such a playstyle change from my flamethrower colossus). Any tips on what seals I should be using? I'm guessing i should be hovering most of the time?
thanks before the server shit the bed i think i got ice storm, just need to find a burning orb now.Yep you must hover now. Ice Storm/Burning Orb is still the best combination IMO. AoE CC & primer + AoE detonator = win, Ice Shards/Lighting Strike is not bad but not nearly as good as IS/BO. I also really like Arc Blast as a focus seal.
Okies. Thank you. Just recently bumped it to GM1 2 days ago. :)
Oh, very nice. I think I jumped the gun and didn't give enough time to farming GM1, lol.As everyone said, they only drop on GM 1 or higher. Further more, I just wanted to add that completing a Strong Hold guarantees a MW drop from the boss, and that particular drop is always an Ability.
Going back and watching the e3 video is a trip. Just watching how the loot is handled in that video compared to what we ended up with is ;(

I don't think the rep actually has anything to do with it. I obtained legendary contracts prior to maxing it out. I'm pretty sure you have to complete each factions string of Agent Missions. Once you're done with all those, run a regular contract and when you get back to base you should see the legendary one appear. If you didn't know, you can run each factions legendary mission once a day. Also, the guaranteed master work from doing these is always a component.Wait how do you get legendary contracts? i have 2 factions at max reputation and haven't seen one
Arc Blast/Burning Orb is better imo. Especially if you have a buddy that can prime.Yep you must hover now. Ice Storm/Burning Orb is still the best combination IMO. AoE CC & primer + AoE detonator = win, Ice Shards/Lighting Strike is not bad but not nearly as good as IS/BO. I also really like Arc Blast as a focus seal but it needs some cooldown reduction to really shine.

Holy shit dude.
There was so much bullshit they fed to us back then. When the Walker fell over and knocked down from trees I just about flipped my desk. A lot of videogames go through changes and are advertised with bullshot trailers during their reveals, but Anthem might be one of the most egregious.

Yep, there's been too many games that have shown "gameplay footage" at their reveal and been nothing like that, or only tangentially so. Nowadays unless the gameplay trailer is only a month or two out from release, I look at it as "If everything was perfect and time/money weren't an issue, this is what we would make" rather than something truly representative of the final product. And I say that as a general fan of Anthem.You should always treat these kind of "gameplay reveals" as conceptual gameplay. That is the game they wanted to make, that's what they believed the game would ideally be. Then they actually got into development, trouble happened as usual, and cut, cut, cut. And, then we get the end product we received. A substandard version that could never live up to their ideal dream game.
Is there a "postmaster" that gather items you don't pick-up?I've been a pretty big defender of anthem, but this will be the third time I've lost masterworks and legendaries from server/client crashes. And I know they should show up after doing another mission, but they have not. This is really unacceptable.
Nothing will make me stop playing a game quicker than making my time spent in it worthless.
5 years into development and within a year and a half of the initial release date, there's no way at all they thought they could deliver that game to us. It's ok to call it a lie. Devs lie to us all the time.You should always treat these kind of "gameplay reveals" as conceptual gameplay. That is the game they wanted to make, that's what they believed the game would ideally be.

looks good. well-worn.
I wanted to make an old and dirty design, since usually they are all new and shiney.
word. I think I'll do the same with my Colossus. The class wreaks of needing to look well-worn.Thanks. I'm really happy with it. I wish colours saved, so I could slap them on other Javelins easier. Haha
That looks great! I considered doing a similar worn look for one of mine but haven't tried yet.

You're absolutely right. 'sigh' What could've been.You should always treat these kind of "gameplay reveals" as conceptual gameplay.

I mean I'm sorta surprised you can even connect. Most people are still having problems right now, contrary to twitter saying everything is fineMatch making...can't find any quickplay sessions on hard...is the population that low already or has everyone moved to GM1+
My game is now crashing to desktop during the initial load from the title screen. 100% failure rate. I can't play the game anymore.
God damnit.
Guess YMMV. I have two friends who have been playing just fine for the past hour+ but I can't get past the connection problem window. Sad part is I don't want to stop trying cuz I really wanna play right now lol. I should give it up for the night.I mean I'm sorta surprised you can even connect.

Im like 1 more crash from refunding this PoS.
Seriously i bought the game crashed like 10 times on the main loading screen then after finally getting in i do the tutorial then leave till today.
Now today i try to play and im still crashing on main loading screen and when it finally doesnt crash the servers are off.
Then i finally get in to do the 1 mission after the tuturial and crash while im loading into freeplay.
Fun times

My Interceptor will probably be my shinest since I feel high-tech when I'm in it.

Two best combos in endgame imo are Venomous Blaze/Black Ice and Venomous Blaze/Stasis Chain. Stasis Chain rips off shields, and Venomous Blaze turns Flame Burst into the only acid primer Storms have access to. Black Ice also freezes enemies around the target when killing, so you not only spread the primer on combos, but they get frozen too. It's a killer combo for groups.Arc Blast/Burning Orb is better imo. Especially if you have a buddy that can prime.
Storm just doesn't freeze anything worth while besides the grunts/spiders and a single Arc Blast is enough to eliminate those anyhow.
I find the combination of ab/bo bo bo/ab better than the is is is/bo even with the combo damage. Then if a team mate lays down some primers it's combo city.

My buddy had the exact same issue last night. Repair and maybe a reboot will fix it.So I guess I had a borked update or something. I ran a repair and now it's downloading a 3GB patch again. Hope this works.

I still only have amulet of winter, and no MW fire component, so I haven't tried Venomous Blaze/Ten Thousand Suns, but I can see that being a lot of fun.
