Anyone wanna speculate on what kind of DLC Javelins to expect? I know it's probably a little early for that since the game's not even out, but I had a couple of ideas.
A medic Javelin with a lot of acid based primers. And an engineer Javelin with gadgets and deployables for battlefield control.

Was thinking the same. Some kind of support Javelin would be nice. I would probably main a healer/support Javelin. I also think a Pet/Engineer Javelin would be great.
Not even going to lie, one of my biggest turn offs about the game is that the armor is all cosmetic as well. I like stats and just wearing and making the "better" stuff just work as well as getting new looks as drops with them actually mattering gameplay wise as well.
I expect another melee based one.
OP
OP
The only thing you missed is that the interceptor ultimate also leaves a damage over time on any enemy you attack so it can be beneficial to bounce around with it instead of just staying on one target.
Have they talked at all about buffing the colossus? from my VERY limited browsing it seemed like that was the one that felt underpowered.
There are some drops that the Colossus needs to make him more viable. I noticed from the start he felt a little weaker but its mainly due to havign to change how you play him. Cannot really go in all guns blazing haha.
They haven't so far no. But from what I have heard the colossus has gear that majorly improves its shield and health pool. So I think it just needs to be geared up properly to tank effectively.
Yeah I agree, outrage is overkill, but it's good for people to criticize the potential of what the store front could be based on a leaked image. This at least means bioware had considered these prices. This way the dev's get feedback.
Yeah I know, I mentioned that. But I doubt you're going to be able to grind for everything in a time efficient way. I buy the fortnite battle pass and I still cant afford skins that come up every day in the store, unless I spend another 10 to 20 usd. So technically you can save VBucks, but I would have to save all earned bucks for months to get the best skin.
Also, like I said in my other post this all doesn't mean prices cant be reasonable. I think that people would like to spend more if the prices weren't so high. Outside of the prices, I'm fine with the model their going with. No issues with cosmetic store.
You can with the flamethrower and electrocution...it worked great.
Here's the quote from one of the devs about it.
"Insider tip, the Interceptor ultimate leaves a lingering DoT attack (in the form of the Interceptor's projection continuing to attack) on any creatures you hit. So in many cases the most effective overall DPS is to actually attack as many different enemies as you can. Obviously continuing to attack the same target still does tons of damage but it can be awesome to "share the love" haha."
Dev Comment on Reddit
Got an e-mail from EA with a survey about thoughts on the demo.
Typed in my criticisms on the second page and then it took a while to load and then crashed and lost my comments. Lol, survey works just as well as the demo did!

Very bad but I can understand the frustration. Give us an EA Access premier same price as Origin Premier and it'll be all fine really. 10 hours trial in a week is not enough
I have my Xbox controller ready to go if toning down mouse sensitivity for swimming does not do the trick. As soon as I can get in game, will head to freeroam to swim. If I can't find a way to not puke after 30s in water I will have to cancel, which is a pity since the overall gameplay was fun and playing with friends was awesome.
It is what it is, I've played c.28 hours so far, so that'll be a tough week
(tougher still for PS4 players)
The only tweet I care about is "The infinite loading screen bug has been fixed!" for the open demo. Any updates on that front?
That seriously ruined the entire VIP demo weekend for me. I am not going to sit there and restart the game every time I want to load a mission.

They better fix that in time for the open demo, otherwise it will be a disaster
Yeah, this has got to be paramount. People literally being unable to play the game is kind of a big deal.
If they don't fix that in the open demo, the game is dead, IMO.
Two solid days in the VIP Demo, I'd say 8 hours on each of Saturday and Sunday.
Plus the Closed Alpha I can't talk about (BioWare happening to switch the server back on for an extra day helped massively ;-)
Full disclosure: I am seriously pumped for this, it's right on my gaming sweet spot.
Agreed 100% I was trying to play with friends and the loading issue absolutely ruined everyone's excitement for the game. It took one of my friends 7 fkn tries to finally get a mission to load and that one ended up having horrible lag and rubber banding. Ugh.
This is true. and what we need to keep in mind is as far as balance is concerned we are looking at a small and non-representative slice of gameplay.
Nobody in the final game is going to be spending hours running around at level 15 using general components and gear that is at most rare in quality.
They'll be level 30 with higher quality gear with unique modifiers and likely class specific components. The colossus, for example, picks up a TON, of health and shields from it's components but it's not unreasonable to think that at max level it might also be able to find a way to regain it's lost health in combat beyond simply armor packs that drop on the ground, giving it sustain to compete with other javelins. We don't know the entirety of what's going to be available to us at high level and a few simple effects could catapult that same colossus into the role of the most powerful javelin.
Are the loading screens when entering a different location going to be in the retail release?
That's the one big gripe I had with the demo(minus my performance issues on pc).
It just felt off, after playing so many open world games without them.

To echo everyone else this was a huge issue and I really hope it's fixed for the open demo and the final game
Same goes for the crashes and rubber banding. I know the rubber banding got a little better but it was so bad as to be unplayable for me and my group at times
I think they might be, I seem to remember seeing it in some video or another or one of the newer builds, but I could be wrong. Was a little off putting for sure.
Your videos are very good, except for the size of the graphics on the right side. They take up almost have of the view, and it's hard/annoying to watch the gameplay in the background.
Here we go
As much as I respect the work Bioware Austin did on SWTOR, they better be veeeery careful with their "experience" coming from there.

Yeah I played like crazy when VIP demo worked. It's right in my gaming sweet spot too mate
Do we take that then as meaning that Edmonton will be focusing on the content drops/updates and Austin will be focusing on the ongoing live service, new cosmetics...etc? We also know that Motive helped with the Launch Bay, maybe some other studios are making some more post-launch content too.
I think a melee based large titan with melee weapons as drops would be slick af. Like the counterpoint to the lithe ninja interceptor would be this monstrous hulk like bruiser.
Make it fly super limited. More jumping for looooong distances like the hulk!!!

I kinda want another lightish one that isn't focused on daggers and throwing stars. Pole arms are never used in stuff like this so why not that with the ability for some melee air control. Think that was one of my bigger disappointments about interceptor; here is a game revolving around flying but all it's melee ability is ground stuff.
Something else I didn't like was how all or nearly all of it's melee skills went where your character was facing at the time instead of where you were aiming. So had to get use to repositioning my character before setting them off or I'd do a rush in the other direction or what not.
This.
I missed so many Venom Spray attacks with my interceptor because of this. Kind of annoying, but I got used to it.
Just download it on the platform of your choice. You can already preload it too, just search for Anthem Demo on your platforms store.
This is confirmed to be fixed at release. Interceptor suffers most from it in the demo because attacks like Venom Spray and Spark Dash use the direction your character is facing/moving to set their initial direction, at release it'l be where you're targeting/looking at.
I will say I enjoyed dropping from heights in that death spin a lot more than i thought i was going to. He is definitely my main so i got a lot of time in but there is a very real feeling that the other 3 classes are way more bombastic and flashy then our stabby boi. Different weapons and the ability to attack while we hover would have been a good start. Not to mention when we launch our super the "activation animation" should be a LOT smaller. Like significantly smaller than the other supers. We aren't aiming a big gun or calling down meteors or rocket pods. We don't need to pause to aim and scan an area... i need that bitch to turn on and then let me loose. Ideal situation - I should be able to boost hard and pull up above the enemy, kill the jets and start a good arc towards the floor while activating my super mid fall, hit the ground with the super already on and then get to cuttin.
You can kinda fake this already if you time the activation right but you still have to do this dumbass little dance for no reason before you go to work. Frustrating.
