I’m looking forward to the Open Demo weekend starting this Friday and having more players join us. We hope to see everyone from the VIP Demo return. See you in game! (And make sure stick around for Sunday afternoon; you’ll see a glimpse of some of the cool things we’ll be doing in the future!)

Stronger Together!

I wonder what this could be? :huh:

Some world event?
Bad weather?
Grabbit invasion?
Shaper storm?
A disappointing thing that's none of the above?

And if 'whatever it is' goes down in the afternoon in Pacific US time, will I be in bed already in Europe?

All I have to say is, whatever they decide to show, it better be early in the afternoon - it is Superbowl Sunday. :lol:

At least Anthem is worldwide release so a Friday release for everyone instead of the weird Tuesday release in NA first thing?

I can't believe I'm asking this, and I'm not sure that anyone here would know anyway, but in Fornite don't they have world events too?

I wonder how they do those so that people in different locations can all enjoy them? :huh:

Yeah, I won't be staying up all night in Germany on a Sunday for an event...
But I am very curious about it because, man, does Anthem need something interesting and refreshing to set it apart from the competition.

I want this game to be better, much better, than what the brief time I had with the demo suggested.

I was just here. Where did I go...?

To be fair, I would prioritize them as follows:

Fixes for infinite loads
Client and platform login bugs
Server performance updates to address much of the rubber-banding
Entitlement bugs
Platform bugs to validate Javelin unlocks
A cute reveal of something on Sunday

Without infinite loading screens I would have been having fun.

For some reason it seemed to work if I booted up a public mission then quit and reloaded. It would ask me if I wanted to reconnect to the expedition and this time it would usually work.

So I'm guessing I shouldn't uninstall the Demo that I installed for the Jan 25th segment.....I should keep those files on my PC for Feb 3rd? OR will I have to download something new and entirely different for the Feb 3rd Open Demo?

Yeah, aware of workaround. That isn't going to fly long term and was already extremely annoying for a demo. Also it did not work 100%. Further if you infinite loading screened after a mission ... lose everything.

Keep them. It saves your progress and it will just get a patch.
