Today in anthem: Another mixed bag of emotions. I swear anthem makes me feel like a pubescent 14 year old girl sometimes. The hunt for lime gears continues. Got a lime in my first stronghold (temple of the scar is so well designed!). But it turned out to be some usueless heavy pistol (the one that increases weapon damage by 150 upon weak point hits) with sucky inscriptions. And that was my luck done for, for the day... Even though i did at leats 4 strongholds... at 90 luck... on gm2. it shouldn't be THIS hard to get limes to drop. Is one lime per run on gm2 too much to ask? At least then i'll have the idea of having a chance to get something good. Anyway, I'm feeling very unrewarded and am kinda feeling like I should quit anthem for a while again. I just bought DMC5 on sale so... I tried some freeplay. I always hear people saying the world is beautiful that they created (and it is! Objectively, it is!). So I gave it a fair chance, I had every intention of exploring, and searching nooks and crannies, and finding documents... except, after a half an hour I was bored out of my skull. Not because the world isn't pretty, or there is nothing much to do (although I only saw one world event in the half hour...), but simply because exploring that way isn't for me. I need a purpose. I need a goal. I need a big bad to full on storm elemental on it's ass. Freeplaying in group and doing world events, I kinda like, but the group rarely sticks together so... that's mostly just frustrating. Ah well I thought. One more scar temple. And it was the god damn most fun scar temple I ever did. I loaded up as a storm with 3 other rangers. And we were all gear score 760+ (I always check to see what kind of meat I got with me for the grinder). And I timed it (not intentionally, at first), and we finished the ToS on gm2 in 13 minutes. It was glorious. We moved as a unit. A fantastic team. I am always specced for combo's, and apparently, so were my ranger friends, because it was one explosion extravaganza murderfest from start to finish. No one ever died. We couldn't. Everything was too busy exploding. Damn you Anthem. I hate you, but I love you, but I can't stop thinking of you! But seriously though. The rewardedness needs to increase asap. I don't even mind if you do it on gm3 (maybe then people will actually play that...). But I can not find peace in my mind until I have a fully legendary storm (I'm a min/maxer... ). And at this point, the game is driving me away more than it is giving me an incentive to actually attempt to achieve that.

My response is from the subreddit's Monday thread:
WHY THE HELL DO ALL THESE IDIOTS KEEP MAKING POSTS ABOUT THE DROP RATE GETTING A BUFF EVERY TIME THEY GET A LEGENDARY ON ANY RUN?
I’VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A LARGE SECTION OF A RNG BASED GAME COMMUNITY HAVE NO CLUE HOW RNG WORKS. BETWEEN ALL THE SUPERSTITIOUS POSTS ABOUT CLONING LOADOUTS, CHANGING GEAR, OR WHATEVER OTHER RANDOM THING SOMEONE COMES UP WITH, I’M NOT SURE IT’D BE POSSIBLE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO LOOK MORE LIKE A BUNCH OF MATH AVERSE TEENAGERS. STOP WITH ALL THE STUPID!

Sounds like you guys had fun. I'm starting to rethink my aversion against playing multiplayer together with people. I had some bad experiences in Elder Scrolls online that took me off the whole idea. But now... I kinda want to try it again. With I team/squad I mean. I have so far mostly enjoyed the time I've spent in Freeplay with the whole matchmaking thing. I had a moment yesterday when I helped taking down a titan together with two other players. It was fun. I'm just the same. I've never played multiplayer games before, and never really wanted to. But I've been having a lot of fun with Anthem and it is actually more fun playing with people you know (sort of!) than random players. And I've only encoutered one arsehole in Anthem so far during my many hours of random matchmaking.

I'm going to try to talk at least one of my friends into trying out Anthem with me. It feels like they all decided to hate it just because. But until then, the matchmaking system works. I played a strongold yesterday with two strangers, and even though we didn't communicate verbally or anything, we did work together well and it was great! I'm going to do it again when I get home from work.
So, in Anthem today, me and some fellow Freelancers is going to make the world a safer place.

Yeah, after almost 3 months of the game, I have 51 Legendary items spread out over all 4 of my Javelins, with 90+% percent played in GM1 over missions, contracts, strongholds and freeplay.

After confirming that the rune challenge was bugged (at least for some on PC) and highly suspicious that the lost writings challenge is similarly bugged …
Finally created my second pilot. Male this time. Choosing the #2 dialog options this time.
A few of the things noted so far (my new pilot is only a level 12 at this point) …
Originally went with the female pilot voice, because during the demo, I had a tough time determining who was talking … depending on the speaker. While I definitely prefer the female pilot VA in the earliest parts of the game, the male VA is improving as the game progresses, plus I'm warming up to the voice.
Lots of little nuances I missed the first time around (and didn't get to repeat when I did the story mission with friends … where I was cut out of the fort scenes they were experiencing). The fort isn't the bare-bones place it was, when starting the original play through … global progress in the Champion of Tarsis (CoT) factions challenge (Sentinel, Freelancer and Arcanist) means my fort remains full and robust, even at the beginning … getting only more so as I make progress on the factions. I had been looking forward to seeing the bare-bones fort again.
Besides the match indicators for the CoT being bugged, showing 150000/150000 (it never did display properly, but at least you could get an idea of your progress), it also is dorked up in the cortex challenge gui and at the respective tables for Brin, Yarrow and Mathias. Sometimes it correctly shows my progress, other times it shows 0/50000 for each faction.
For some of the NPCs, dialog #2 leads to a quite different place. In other cases … the choices just result in the conversation changing a bit (Faye). Because of branches and sequels, I won't get all the dialog options with just two pilots … but I do get to see some different stuff. Won't be seeing a fountain. Won't have a baker. Syrna won't be talking to me any more. Don't think it will end well for the spies.
But … Tassyn seems perfectly OK with my second pilot. As does Faye. And my second pilot ended up in the same place with the crazy old lady … even if the game tried to push my pilot to use something other than response #2. On the other hand, would have missed out on some significant details about Max … if I had not done the second run, using the #2 responses with Amal. Also … I think because of those responses … I picked up on different dialog, folks chatting around the fort. Changes my view of the Regulators quite a bit … wonder if there is a future story arc there?
But most of all … the second trip through the story, picked up on a lot of detail I missed the first time through … conversations with Yarrow, Brin, Mathias, Haluk, Faye and Owen took on new significance. Doubt this will ever be my primary pilot … once I get up to level 30 … will probably set it aside until there is more story content … go back to upgrading my first pilot.
This has been fun … look forward to the continuation of the story … and playing both pilots with their respective dialog choices.

I unlocked a new Javelin! The Colossus. Well, technically I did it yesterday but I couldn't take it for a test drive until today. It was... different. I don't think I'll ever go with the Colossus for a mission or contract, but it was fun stomping around in Freeplay harassing the wildlife.

It's fun to experiment with them and with different weapons and such. I also spend an unseemly time tinkering with their appearance. Gotta have some thunder with my lightning.

Sadly, my mains are usually slightly pacifist, and try to avoid the mass slaughter of wildlife on the off chance one of them recently consumed a piece of legendary equipment that may still be in usable condition. P.S. I will kill for ammo tho - gotta survive.
