As the Anthem marketing bandwagon is likely to start in the Spring (or Summer if the game slips to 2019), we should have a think about how we want the Anthem sub-forum. Usually, our game forums have the categories: - General
- Multiplayer
- Characters
- Spoilers
But I'm not sure that would make sense for a game like Anthem? (we won't actually make sub-forums until much later, but it wouldn't hurt to discuss it) And are there some 'obvious' flagship threads that will need to be created when the time is right? I'm expecting we'll be seeing gamers new to BSN, given Anthem's Destiny/Division similarities, so it's worth getting our act together. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Draft format for when we are ready (subject to moderators/Cyonan input in due course) - Anthem General Discussion
General discussion about Anthem
- Anthem Online
Discuss multiplayer events and activities
- Anthem Characters and Builds
Discuss Anthem characters and builds (contains spoilers)
- Anthem Story, quests and Lore
Discuss game content (contains spoilers)

The problem with the current design for the subforms is that we don't know really where BioWare is heading with Anthem to categorize them. I am hoping for strong characters, but if we don't have a crew I am not sure how relevant a character subform would be. Just like Multiplayer made sense with Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda since they were separate portions of the game, but with Anthem it is going to be integrated into the main game. Now if the game as a Clan/Guild/etc type of system that might be a forum to have so people can look for place to join.
It might be an idea to look at forums for Destiny and The Division and to see how they have their forums laid out for they might have ideas that make sense to have here as well.

Leave the current tab as “General” and maybe add two more: “Gameplay” and “World Spoilers” perhaps? the second can capture Guilds and MP hook ups as well as SP (if there), and the third can capture story, lore and character discussions. And I am really looking forwards to things starting to happen on Anthem!

Some thoughts for discussion regarding
(1) Anthem Economy - In-game /Premium currency
(2)Weapons Section
- Best against enemies
(3)Javelin Suits - Pros & Cons
(4)Noobie Section - Starting out, gear, combat mechanics
Enemies
Best MODS
HUBS, Clans & Guilds
If well done it might attract more new fans looking for tips and tricks & Google would help here.

How about a subsection for 'Panicked ungrounded posts about mis- or personally interpreted statements'?
These'll pop up often enough.

Really helpful contributions all, thanks! If well done it might attract more new fans looking for tips and tricks & Google would help here. Very much this, BSN is a broad church so it may not be a game for all traditional BioWare fans, but we should be welcoming to new visitors who do come here because of their interest.

"Characters and Builds" is an awkward category that seems to mix story oriented stuff with detailed mechanical analysis. I'd keep characters in with "Story", maybe with a sub-forum for keeping fan threads, and have a "Gameplay Mechanics and Builds" forum for everyone who wants to look deeply at the mechanics.
If PVP is a thing, it should probably have its own forum

Most helpful sub prob be LFG or Clan, if there in game, specially for us console scrubs, tbh i'd just go with what you have the now since we know virtually nothing about features, but if there is decent challenging group content ppl norm want something outside matchmaking which on console with norm zero text chat well you get my point.
For the game Anthem gonnae be it surely will need it own web/forums, although wouldn't put it past em to use that EA forum /puke

Yeah, a hub for LFG is a must, the MP forums in both the ME games do a great job of creating a community of practice.

I would hold off on all but General until we are more sure, particularly about Multiplayer. If the whole thing is multiplayer, that's going to be a waste.
That said, assuming Javelin suits have skill trees and/or upgrades that can be optimized, a Builds sub would be handy. TBH, that ought to be a standard sub of ME and DA forums as well, though "Builds" is just a rename of "Mechanics/Tactics" in that case. "Mechanics/Tactics" ended up being mostly about builds, at least in DAI. Maybe "Builds/Combat".
Media or Screenshots/Vids/Fanart would be good too. Those tend to liven up General, but it might be kind of nice to have them in a separate sub.

Both ME MPs do not have a Clan structure, but BSN MempMoot works great to find folks to play with. Which is, after all, what matters. Obviously decking out the guildhall is a draw, but playing together is important.

Seems to me you are putting the cart before the horse,SofaJockey! (sorry, couldn't resist..)
You will have plenty of time to decide the forum categories once we know more about the game and how it works. Or are you just trying to keep us entertained while Bioware/EA try to figure out how not to piss off their audience while the game is "delayed"? (Is it really "delayed", or is it still in "development"?)

A lot of this will depend on the game itself. A LFG sub would be good if that kind of thing makes sense, particularly if there’s endgame content.
Characters and Story is probably a given.
I don’t think we’ll need separate multiplayer sub unless there’s a separate mode for it.
