Anyone know have they talked more about what the Shaper Storms consist of? Another worlds? No details from what I know but I suspect it will be sort of like Nuke zones in FO76.

Well, I sure hope it's going to be better than Bug Fallout. Too much fun for you huh? Ye, DAIMP was a terrible lagfest already. MEAMP was pretty bad at times too. It's just not fun when you realise that the things you do just don't register. Or you get disconnected. At some point you simply don't bother anymore and that is usually the death of the game. Or rather the downscaling to a size of players that can be handled.
It's all good and fun when it works, but the crux with online games are that they dont work out of the box - they rely on you, the provider and the guys you play with to be kitted out with the proper stuff to play "as intended". That's a lot of parameters that can go wrong.

DAIMP was simply unplayable. It was good in concept, btu practically horrible to play.
Luckily, anthem will at least have dedicated servers. Equal lag for everybody And doesn't slow the game down is somebody from Timbuktu hosts a game.

I did, I'm less interested in First-person combat games so that's also not a particular concern for me personally and I'll be on the Anthem trial on that date.

Well, I sure hope it's going to be better than Bug Fallout. Fallout 76 runs like complete and utter shit. It is headache and nausea inducing. Anthem better be better than better than that. Mine runs fine. Yeah occasional mega lag or crashes but almost every online game I’ve played at launch has those issues. There are plenty of bugs like every Bethesda game but I can easily sit down and play for 3-4 hours and log off with a few lags or frame rate dips. I don’t consider that running like shit. I have a lot of design choice issues with it but still I’ve probably put in 40-50 hours and I’ve mostly enjoyed it. It wasn’t good enough to pull me from the dozen other games I’m currently playing though so it only gets part time attention

I rage deleted that game, which is pretty rare for me, due to the performance.

On PC its not optimized or anything but its relatively stable for a new online game. As an aside, I think the no NPCs thing actually helps the setting. Listening to recordings of people who died is so much creepier than meeting people. I get that apocalyptic vibe so much stronger in this fallout than any other including 1&2. Different style less mad max Apocalypse but much creepier.

I don't really hate the game (EDIT: fallout 76) in the same way most people seem to. I was actually having an ok time just wandering around and levelling up. It was the performance that did it for me and I'm not really super picky.
EDIT: This was in direct response to the post above me sorry ... forgot to quote ...

I don't really hate the game in the same way most people seem to. Those people don't hate the game, they hate EA. Although, that probably isn't true, they don't really hate EA, they hate the world. And even that isn't true either, what they really hate is themselves and their inability to cope with their own powerlessness. So instead of trying to create, they do the easiest thing possible: Destroy.
On topic, then: I really am hyped at this point. I'm still wondering how the fort tarsis, missions solo and multi gameplay will all come together, but dawgnammit, how often does BioWare release a game? Not often! It's bioware game release time again guys!!! WOOOOO!!!

Hey sorry I meant to quote the post above the post of mine you quoted ... we were actually talking about fallout 76.
I'm really excited for Anthem as well!
My point I was trying to make above was that I actually don't hate fallout 76 the same way a lot of people seem to. I had to rage delete it but that was because it literally gave me a headache to play, the performance was so bad. If they could get the game to fluctuate between 25 - 30 fps I could handle that but it dips and stutters so bad on PS4 I just couldn't take it. I wanted to at least get through the 'story' part of the game but I couldn't force myself though it with so many other cool games in my backlog to play.

I think it is going to be really fun for my favorite way to play these kinds of games. Co-op with my brother ...we live like a continent apart and gaming is how we hang out. For instance with Destiny 1 and 2 I had a fantastic time just co-op'ing through the story and doing a few extra activities. Destiny really only gets on my nerves when I try and get real serious about the endgame and the grind.
Anthem doesn't seem to have the elitism problem (feature for some) and seems more geared for fun co-op play.
I am also really stoked that the hub is solo play. I think a lot of the stuff that is really enticing me IS going to piss off some people who are hoping for a Destiny/Warframe/WoW/GW/etc. replacement though.
