Once Anthem is out, the devs focus will turn to live service development, events and quality-of-life patches and fixes. The problem is that it is sometimes hard for BioWare to see what the 'fans' are interested in amongst the cacophony of different views. The loudest voice is not always the consensus. BioWare has acted on 'fan requests' in the past where it was practicable to do so. With livestreams and the Demos, we're seeing enough information to start to form a more detailed opinion about the game. So... using as inspiration, the ' Heal/Hate' game popularised on BSN by lightdrago3 and a prior MEA thread version, here is a way to highlight what our community are recommending by way of future suggestions and improvements for the success of Anthem. Rules:- You copy the most recent 'list' into your own post, adjusting it as follows:
- You can add a new improvement suggestion (in 3 or 4 words).
- You can add or deduct 2 marks (+2 or -2) from any one suggestion already listed.
- You can add, or deduct, 1 mark (+1 or -1) from any two suggestions already listed.
- You bold your changes.
- All new suggestions start with 10 points (you can add/deduct marks and add a new suggestion if you like).
- If a suggestion falls to zero (0) it's removed from the list.
- A removed suggestion can be re-listed once, after that it's never coming back (unless something changes anyway).
- There is no end-point as such but it will become clear over time which are the most favored improvement suggestions.
- You can only post once per hour, that goes for votes as well as non-voting comments (to keep it focused).
- You can tag me (SofaJockey ) if things have added up wrong for a 'tidy-up' with that post not counting.
- The thread may occaionally be locked for tidying or take a hiatus.
Other considerations:
- Use your knowldge of Anthem from the public livestreams as a starting point.
- DON'T INCLUDE SPECIFICS FROM THE NDA'd ANTHEM ALPHA (this will be mod monitored) - this is for what's generally known out there.
- This is not for plot or story improvements and please keep those out of this thread.
- You can propose both improving and 'fixing' proposals ('fixing' improvements may be more applicable one we hit Demos).
- Be specific, a vague 'do this better' is a bit pointless and may be challenged.
- Be practical, suggest stuff BioWare can reasonably do in an update, so not 'add 1st person mode' or 'introduce Battle Royale'.
- Be pleasant about it, the thread is intended to be read and to be helpful, snark will be mod-moved or deleted.
- If a suggestion is implemented (or found to exist) we'll remove the item.
Example:
Poster 1:
Introduce Photo-Mode: 10
Add a 5th 'stealth' Javelin: 10
Hairdresser in Fort Tarsis: 10
Grabbits to be made non-killable: 10
Poster 2 doesn't like the Grabbit suggestion so down-votes it by 2 points and bolds the change:
Introduce Photo-Mode: 10
Add a 5th 'stealth' Javelin: 10
Hairdresser in Fort Tarsis: 10
Grabbits to be made non-killable: 8
Poster 3 dislikes the stealth Javelin but likes the Grabbit idea, with -1 and +1 to those. Again they bold the lines they adjusted.
Introduce Photo-Mode: 10
Add a 5th 'stealth' Javelin: 9
Hairdresser in Fort Tarsis: 10
Grabbits to be made non-killable: 9
Poster 4 adds a new one: 'Plaidweave banners in Fort Tarsis' to the end of the list (giving it 10 points)
Introduce Photo-Mode: 10
Add a 5th 'stealth' Javelin: 9
Hairdresser in Fort Tarsis: 10
Grabbits to be made non-killable: 9
Plaidweave banners in Fort Tarsis: 10 *new*
Finally, Poster 5 performs a service by re-ranking the list, which people can do in a gap after a batch of posts.
Introduce Photo-Mode:10
Hairdresser in Fort Tarsis: 10
Plaidweave banners in Fort Tarsis: 10
Grabbits to be made non-killable: 9
Add a 5th 'stealth' Javelin: 9
End of example. |

It took me a while to figure out that you dint intend to display minus ten, but 10 separated by a hyphen SofaJockey. It was worse because you left no space between number and hyphen so I HAD to assume it was a negative number. And with all the negative numbers the long ass rules made no sense either. |

Well if their track record with SW:TOR is anything to go by then more often than not they won't listen to feedback, do what they want and wonder why they're losing players and having to shut down servers at an alarming rate  |

Fix Frostbite Menu-dimming bug: 10 What's this bug, please?  When you go to a menu, initially it is the proper brightness, but then, after a second or two, the display dims … at times to the point the menu is unreadable and you kind of have to guess at the options. Other times, you can't even guess, because when you scroll down, nothing has enough illumination to identify it.
I think it is related to HDR. So if you have a non-HDR monitor, even though HDR is either set to auto or turned off in settings, it mucks with the amount of illumination in the menu. If this also effects HDR-capable monitors, then that's probably not the issue.
In MEAMP, it hits the "looking for games" menu a lot. In SP, it hits the menus on the Tempest, such as picking your squad, weapons or mods menus when you are near the airlock. But it also hits the research menus and store menus in the central crew area.
Changing various display settings doesn't seem to do anything at all. My comment on HDR is just a WAG. It does not affect ME3MP or SP and it does not affect ME or ME2 (of course, those are run on Ureal 3, not Frostbite 3). Frankly, I can't recall if it is an issue in DAI … which is a Frostbite 3 engine-driven game, but without HDR support. It does not impact The Witcher 3 or its predecessors. Also, have not seen it in Fallout New Vegas. Just throwing out other games, driven by other engines … to show it's unique to Frostbite. The only time I've seen this behavior is on games run by Frostbite. I have not seen it anywhere else.

Clarification: suppose you have a gun you really like, but as your power level increases, that gun is now under-leveled. Rather than grinding and hoping for RNG to drop that gun again, there should be ways to upgrade that gun to your current power level. For example, you might be able to dismantle your gun to get its blueprint and then craft it to your current power level. Or you could spend resource to upgrade it at the forge.
