Javelin Specific Challenges – Currently these show no rewards under the challenge, but you will be awarded with a warchest upon completion. Challenge Rewards – Upon completing a challenge, you won’t always immediately see the item you’re rewarded. At the end of expedition screen, the way to tell if you've gotten a challenge reward is by looking at the item level. A reward from a challenge will be either 66 for Masterwork, or 80 for Legendary. Seasonal Store Icons - The seasonal store currently has placeholder icons for many of the items you can purchase with crystals. Players will need to hover over each one to see what the contents are before acquiring.

Jesse Anderson @darokaz I know many of you are wanting to know when the cataclysm is going to fully release (on both console and PC). No date to share just yet, but we're not making as many big changes on the PTS so we're getting closer to the final build.
i like the new changes but what about loot. playing on GM3 and im still getting purple and blue stuff

Honestly, they probably won't be able to fix the loot system until next year (February) in my mind. The whole thing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. You have to think about the complaints leveled at the games loot system:
- It's not rewarding - There's not enough loot dropping - Difficult activities don't drop enough higher-rarity loot - You can't equip gear as you go - You can't dismantle gear as you go - There's not enough vault space - There isn't any intentionality, or enough things to chase
Addressing each of these points doesn't just mean rewriting the algorithm for dropping loot. It also means that the UI and gameplay mechanics would need to be overhauled so that you could pick up items (and view their stats) as you play, as well as allowing you to dismantle gear. Opening up more inventory space, to make way for having more items, would also mean having to negotiate with EA's IT department on either freeing up more server space or buying new servers entirely. Their problem is multi-tiered, and I don't see it getting fixed until at least December at the very earliest.
Moon's Haunted 2: Electric Boogaloo @3dhero17 In terms of lore, are there other civilisations on the planet coda that’s not based in bastion? Like other human made forts or giant empires etc? @camerondayton #anthem #AnthemGame

Good points.

Cameron Dayton @camerondayton Many.
Hm...
Perhaps the studio will pull a WoW move to access the new empires. Of course, I don't expect anything new until next year...

Jos Hendriks @sjosz It's one of those rare moments in time where my bug inbox is at zero. I'm sure there will be some again tomorrow, but getting close to finishing a thing I've been working on, and bouncing off zero bugs is one of the markers.
And by merely mentioning it on social media, I have cursed myself and everyone who knows me, for surely I will never see zero bugs again.
Dusty5hadows @andyb117 @untdrew @darokaz @benirvo @anthemgame is this the start of the pre cataclysm event? This challenge is showing on the live servers! Does this mean I can now enter full hype mode? Can you give us any info pls? 🤞🤯😉
Andrew Johnson @untdrew A change went live today that was intended for a slightly later date. That change has now been corrected. Sorry for the confusion, Freelancers.

July: [Anthem players] Wow ! Finally some new content ! Should we get hyped ? [Anthem CM] No, we're rolling it back

Somehow I knew that would be the case. I hate to be a negative nelly, but I don't see Anthem surviving much past mid-next year. I'm starting to believe the content creators I watch in that the game is all but dead. Player numbers were cited last night across PC, Xbox and PS and they're not good at all. Combine that with the cringe-worthy live stream showing off the Cataclysm and you have a recipe for disaster. That's pretty much the kicker for me, seeing the difference between E3's version and what we actually saw during the live stream. It's seriously embarrassing. I've been playing on and off now since release and got excited once I hit level 30 and started getting some MW weapons, but, the game world just seems blah now since they're nothing new. I don't know, when I see you all showing off your new stuff in The Day in Anthem thread I jump back on, Cataclysm needs to happen soon and it needs to be better than they showed during the live stream. If it ends up being a blue filtered more of the same, start playing the death march.

I saw that there have been graphical improvements to it, in a video by some content creators playing the PTS. I don't know if its on par with people's expectations, but it sure beats the early livestream. And now I can't seem to be able to find the video where I saw that. Was it on youtube or reddit? I didn't dream it, did I? Now I am not so sure ... Anyone playing the PTS care to confirm what I am saying?

I'll pull the YT vid from last night and post here when I get back.
I too hope Cataclysm looks very much different than it did during the live stream.
Do we have an official report, or an estimation through PSN, XBOX Live stats etc?

From the recent videos I've seen, it's "less worse" visually than the devstream, but still very far from the E3 demo, and even not on par with storms from old(er) games (AC IV, Mad Max, ...) In terms of gameplay, I don't know if it will bring something new except a timer

BioWare @bioware Heading to #SDCC? Here's how you can catch up with us this weekend!
I'm counting on your guys. You have a mission. Go to this panel, enjoy your time, then come back to me-- I mean us, and tell us what you were told in a bullet-point format.

We just put out an update for the PTS. The primary reason for this update was to get in some adjustments we made to the crystal economy. Previously, it would take 1000 small crystals to convert them to one large crystal. Based on player feedback we have cut this amount in half to 500. You'll still earn crystals at the same rate as you did before, but with this change you should be able to acquire items from the seasonal store faster. Below is the link to a survey if you'd like to share your thoughts on these changes (it's the same questions as the previous survey): SURVEY LINK
Here is a list of some additional changes that were introduced with this PTS update:
- Economy modification to crystals: large crystal purchase changed to 500 crystals from 1000. - Large crystal conversion to small crystals changed from 1000 to 500. - Icon and UI updates for Seasonal Store and some cataclysm HUD elements. - Arenas and Inversions have been changed to reflect how they will be during the first week of the Cataclysm.

u/rsox5000 So... are the Changes to Luck/Drop Rates Live Now? I haven’t been able to play on the PTS (XBOX player), but I heard the loot drops were much better. With the pre-events now live, I want to get back into the game for a little. However, does anyone know if those drop/luck changes are live yet?
UNTDrew No. The Luck inscription change will not be live until Update 1.3
