In update 1.2.0 we made some changes to matchmaking to improve the player experience. You may see longer wait times for certain activities, but this should allow for having a greater chance for being matching up with other players instead of being put into an empty game.
In addition to this, we've extended the times that will allow players to back-fill existing missions and strongholds.
I timed how long it took for a gm2 ToS to fill. Took 3 minutes... Nit teally an improvement imo

Yeah, I would've preferred it, if they enabled us to have a private session for everything like in ME3MP. I mean, I am not playing ATM (waiting on new story content and the devs reworking the game), but to be able to intentionally solo everything would've piqued my interest.
Michael Newsom @spartan901 @untdrew @darokaz is Anthem no longer going to be at EA Play? It’s not listed on the most recent posted schedule. Someone please respond @camerondayton @gamblemike @anthemgame
Jesse Anderson @darokaz We're there, we're just not doing a stream on that schedule you see.
Dominion Storm and Frost Brutes no longer have shields. All Storm Javelins (Elementalists, Valkyries, etc) now regenerate their shields like other shielded creatures.
Umm?
Why would Storms not have shields and how do they not have shields if all Storm Javelins regenerate shields?
I think he meant the Storm Brute variant, not the enemy Storm Javelins.
Andrew Johnson @untdrew Getting a lot of questions about it, so I want to clarify that #AnthemGame will still be part of EA PLAY this year. It’s not part of the EA PLAY livestream run of show released today because we have a stream planned tomorrow from here at BioWare. More news tomorrow.

Obviously there is nothing to show. Cataclysm will be tested on their test server first. How long that will take, we don't know and Bio won't speculate either. The new Road Map is unavailable and we seem to get dribs and drabs..... So much for their Grandiose plans.

Hm... trying to decode ...

Jesse Anderson @darokaz I'm seeing a lot of reports from players in #AnthemGame that the matchmaking times are longer than intended (max is supposed to be 3 minutes). I'll bring this to the attention of the team tomorrow so that they can look into it.
Don't knock the little winds. They're important - for morale.

Yeah obviously not. Like they didn't show some of the cataclysm live yesterday? It's all very obvious.
Cameron Dayton @camerondayton Inversion – in music, a shift to melody, chord, or phrase. In Anthem, a modification to reality itself via the cataclysmic mechanisms of the Shapers. #stormiscoming
Open World Games @knightrobby I don't know if you guys can answer this but what happens to the cataclysm map after the 8 weeks? Does it disappear from the game? Become a new area to explore? @untdrew @darokaz
Jesse Anderson @darokaz You’ll have to wait and see, but it would be pretty strange for it to be around temporarily and just go away completely...

Good news that Bio was able to show unfinished work.... that was supposed to be ready by May.
But, hey.... I'm glad the studio is able to show stuff ... stuff that needs to be tested on their Test Server.
And speaking of testing, do you believe the limited test player base will allow Bio to bake a good enough Stronghold map (Cataclysm) that will bring back the MIA players?

I understood anyone owning Anthem can join test server?

"You have to wait and see"?
He can't say it will e a permanent fixture in the game? After all that hard work, the Test Server and asking for feedback, the Cataclysm is a map that we have to wait and see if it will stick around?

It will stick around. You have to wait and see in what way it will stick around.

I haven't owned a PC in over a decade, so I'll watch from my sofa, console at the ready.

My friends and I are pretty stoked at the idea of early access testing the new content …
I've seen plenty of 'are you going to pay me' gags on the internet...

Most PTS' I've seen are PC exclusive. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think its easier to do it this way given that any updates made to it (PTS) don't have to go through certification (like on Xbox or Playstation).
