That was quite a good stream. Looks like they've put quite a bit of thought and effort into the loot progression.

Watching rerun. I love how fast they post those. Need to advance the timer to like 15 minutes in. Also Darrin McPherson from SOE is working at BioWare now? How many ex-Everquest devs are working there? lol.

Ok, finished watching.
The whole gear system sound a lot like what Darrin McPherson wanted to with Everquest Next. There's going to be a lots of tiny procs (like that 3 seconds damage boost).

The inscription system sounds a lot like The Division's perks.
I wish Darrin hadn't misunderstood the one viewer's question about whether or not unique gear can roll different stats. He restated that it could have different inscriptions, but the question was about the core weapon stats like damage, RPM, etc.
Interesting that gear is what determines which 3 skills you get (I think?)
A lot of "oh that's bugged", etc in this stream. I know they typically do these streams on older builds, but...2 months to launch, yikes eh?

Never played looter shooters (very few shooters at all actually), but I get the feeling the RNG for gear is a bit over the top? Am I getting it wrong that every drop has completely random 3-4 stats that are pulled from several stat "pools" so there is no same stat twice on same piece? If so, getting the piece you want is purely luck? Is there some sort of crafting to offset the RNG? Any sort of switching a stat with another?
Or is such RNG grind a standard fare for this type of games?

He restated that it could have different inscriptions, but the question was about the core weapon stats like damage, RPM, etc. I'd guess that RPM, ammo and Range are fixed to weapon, the only thing that changes between drops is Power and inscriptions. They haven't confirmed it, but it makes most sense to me.

If so, getting the piece you want is purely luck? Is there some sort of crafting to offset the RNG? Any sort of switching a stat with another? Or is such RNG grind a standard fare for this type of games? This type of loot system is very similar to what's found in, for example, the Diablo games. Destiny 2 also changed their loot system recently to include rolling random perks (which are analogous to Anthem's inscriptions) on gear. Can't comment on The Division since I've never played. They said in the stream that there will be crafting. But crafted gear will also roll random inscriptions, so I guess the only advantage to crafting is that you are at least guaranteed to get the base item you want, as opposed to loot where both the specific piece of gear AND the inscriptions on the gear are random. So you could theoretically craft the same item a dozen times in quick succession to maximize your chances/minimize the time cost of rolling good inscriptions as opposed to going out and farming for a piece which would likely take longer. However, they did not make clear if there are limits on what you can craft (e.g. can I craft Masterwork/Legendary rarity gear?) or the relative difficulty/cost of getting enough materials to craft an item versus just farming loot.

If I understood them correctly, when you craft from a blueprint/recipe or whatever it comes out level matched. So at endgame levels the crafting results would be endgame rarity.

If I understood them correctly, when you craft from a blueprint/recipe or whatever it comes out level matched. So at endgame levels the crafting results would be endgame rarity. I'm thinking each blueprint has a set rarity to it. So whenever you craft it, it's always locked to that specific rarity. It's just that the level of said crafted item always scales with you. For example, assuming level 50 is the max, you could craft an Epic component at level 50, but it would always be an Epic component no matter what. With that said, I do wonder if the inscriptions on said gear would increase as you level up. I could check on the Anthem reddit forums to find out. Even if one of the users doesn't have an answer, the devs are generally able to answer these questions. EDIT: Here's confirmation from the games Technical Design Director (Brenon Holmes) that the rarity is indeed locked. The only thing that scales is the level of the crafted item. www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/a5yalv/i_wasnt_interested_in_this_game_cause_i_thought_i/ebr5gj8?utm_source=reddit-android

Watched the video. The whole building javelin skillset thing I thought was kinda meh. Also, the crafting and looting seems really (overly?) complex, but maybe once I use it it'll be better? One thing I HATE though... It seems that once again you need to be Lucky to get the skills that you want. Which means, one guy can get Lucky nd receive +30% storm damage (e.g.) like 4 times, and be able to get an uber build, while omeone else (usually me) really wants that one skill, and never gets it. Yes, you can craft, but you won't be able to choose your incriptions, which means: Luck. I think I'm going to build a storm with lightning damage and shield regen Also, I must say, when he showed actual gameplay, he made the game look really fluid and fun. That little piece of gameplay kind of convinced me to try the demo (and preorder?).

It strikes me as a mash-up of DAI armor crafting and MEA weapon crafting. But with the extra layer of inscriptions added. Although people say it's more like a mash-up of Diablo and The Division, but I haven't played those games so can't confirm.
