You get a message “Ahglock has been universally blocked for toxic behavior, do you want to add him to your match” Actual toxic behavior doesn't actually get controlled anyway. Just look at SWTOR.

Probably doesn’t. But it’s one of the few legitimate reasons for some kind of punishment in a pve multi player game.

This is quite interesting but BW managed to work with Frostbite in Inquisition which was their first game in that engine and now after 6 years of developement suddenly they still couldn't figure out this engine?
Is DAI free of bugs ? I think it had some, especially the sound bug that still isn't fixed 6 years later (I'm shaming MEA/Anthem, not DAI) It definitely had some bugs and general jankiness, more so in multiplayer (in the writing industry we call this foreshadowing), but overall the SP bugs were nothing gamebreaking and perfectly playable. So I don't get how the DA team managed decently enough while the Anthem team seems to be floundering.

From what I've read, the game, in and of itself doesn't brick consoles. Rather, the game crashes in a way that improperly shuts down consoles. Restarting the consoles without clearing the improper shutdown then bricks them.
It is left as an exercise to the reader to determine if that's close enough to the same thing.

I'm sorry but Did I hear this correctly? The game BRICKS consoles??? As much as I love dunking on this game, this myth is getting out of hand. There is perhaps ONE report of a console being rendered unusable by the game crashing, and even that one has offered no actual proof. All other reports at this point is that the game sometimes shuts down the entire console (PS4, though may be happening on XBox as well) and the console gives you a warning when turning it back on. Worst, absolute worst case scenario, you have to do a Database Rebuild when you turn it back on (literally a one button press option), which fixes any database/library corruption and everything is good as new. It's an urban legend at this point, fed by people who don't know what "brick" means, as well as people hopping on a bandwagon. That said, a game crashing so hard that the entire console gives up and powers off is no bueno. It's actually a laughably horrendous error in QA. But let's be accurate about what's going on.

The longer that Anthem is out the more I'm leaning towards BioWare division being incompetent rather than EA being EA.
Don't get me wrong I'm certain BioWare had really talented devs but I think management is legit incompetent.
6 years of development. That would make it as old as Warframe and just compare the two.
Both games were the studio's do or die moment. DE would've had to shut their doors EA would close BioWare's.
Both had everything to lose and everything to gain. Yet BioWare can't get the basics down. Shitty launch. Interceptor not even complete at launch. Shitty loot. Barely any gun visual variety.
BioWare fucked the pooch on this one, badly. They failed to even learn anything from Warframe's lessons.
It's a shame I wanted Anthem to succeed. I really did

But let's be accurate about what's going on. still that is crazy... Absolutely. The shutdown appears to be a widespread problem, and it's crazy because by many people's accounts, including Jeff's at Giant Bomb, that has literally never happened with any other game on PS4. I know I've never seen it, but I have a small sample size only having played 8 or 9 PS4 games on mine. Much like Fallout 76's woes this is starting off as simply a bad bug but is spiraling into an out of control PR shitstorm. It's being picked up by youtubers as well as mainstream gaming sites: ca.ign.com/articles/2019/03/04/anthem-players-allegedly-experiencing-ps4-shutdowns-claim-sony-is-offering-refundswww.polygon.com/2019/3/4/18250433/anthem-ps4-crash-bricking-refund-sonykotaku.com/anthem-players-say-the-game-is-shutting-down-and-even-s-1833039161This is a fucking PR nightmare for Bioware. I am absolutely dumbfounded that their public-facing response is so slow on this. EA's customer support has actually taken over for the time being for them, with their community manager taking over the comment responses on the reddit bug thread as well as reaching out to people on Twitter. Apparently the normal Bioware community manager is "busy writing up patch notes." Like.... dude. media1.tenor.com/images/aec16f3020b8aad37169367d045cfbe6/tenor.gif

A couple of pointers 1: I did say I was hoping for FO76 level of failure...well, we are almost there it seems 2: I dont want to argue but..if this game causes an improper shutdown that, if not treated properly, might cause permanent damage to the console...is it not fair to say that the game is the cause of this eventuality? 3: bioware can't handle bad pr. They just CAN'T. Sure they can pop put to try and reassure the fanbase about not being shut down by EA (see there is positivity there, your fans are concerned about the company they love) but when people attack them directly they turtle up. E.G. Casey Hudson is back in his panic room, the same one he was in after ME3

It can't just be about deadlines. Something else is going on. We talked before about how Bioware devs seem to work in a bubble and can't seem to get or don't want to hear feedback on their development decisions while the development is happening, from people who understand the genre and the market. This was true even for SP games. What's not clear to me is if the bubble is by choice, or imposed by the business. It's possible that some key decision makers in the studio really are tuned in to what makes games good and try to get their point-of-view across, but if that goes against the strategic direction set for the product, particularly when it comes to the money end of things, they may get overruled. It could also be a combination of studio arrogance and business imposition, too. I'm convinced that in the case of Anthem, it was schedule driven, much like MEA. The release date was set in the second half of 2018 and Bioware was told not to miss it. Whether Bioware wasn't upfront about the true state of the game (they sure made some public statements about what great shape it was in), or if the business side didn't want to hear excuses and it was going to ship on time no matter what, is not clear. Again, might have been a combination of both. No professional software developer voluntarily ships code in the state Anthem was in for either the launch or the "demos". My guess is that the original plan, back in 2018, was to do several betas before release, with a much more limited single VIP demo as a vertical slice very late in the beta cycle, but as the schedule slipped and the game wasn't getting completed fast enough, all that got compressed into two demos and no betas. The decision to incentivize pre-orders with a VIP demo won out over shipping a stable product, more's the pity. BioWare chose their bubble - they hate critique. This is why they shut down the BSN.

Hmmm...this is alarming. I still experience crashes on the PS3 ME3 MP (collectors)... ....but it never damages the system on the level as it is described here. Granted it's not widespread, but this is serious issue. Even tho Anthem is not the game for me, i want Bioware to succeed....the game looks like it has high production values, but whatever is causing this no matter how small or minor, it needs to be addressed. Hopefully Bioware will get a handle on this...

Well, last week my brand new RTX2070 broke down while playing Anthem and wouldn't even run Windows anymore. I had to send it back to Zotac to get replaced. For now, I am willing to believe that Anthem didn't break it.
