Bioware said the performance of the demo was "super smooth" and their war rooms were twiddling thumbs with little to do. So I'm guessing with how pleased Bioware was about it, you all can expect a similar technical performance at the release date? I'm sure that will satisfy everyone? This is good to hear. 35 million play hours in the Open Demo and the network folk drinking coffee. A good place to be for launch, certainly. I was watching the EA Technical Issues forum over the weekend, and that was much quieter too. Nnnooooo, I was hoping everyone would ignore that since it was obviously a bait post. But then, pretending to not understand that and twisting it into a positive post is also a much more mature technique. Well done, moderator.
On topic, if indeed they did not have much to do that is a good sign. Except for a couple of unforeseen things that they couldn't test themselves, they've already fixed a lot of the critical issues fromt he demo. I'm glad they're on top of "it".

Whether by accident or just to snark, there does appear to be a misunderstanding between: - Network connectivity and platform access, which the 'Live Services' team are focused upon, and
- Game bugs, which require attention and fixing by the devs.
The issues on the VIP Demo seemed very much in the hands of the 'Live Services' people. With network connectivity being 95% resolved in the Open Demo, that mostly left 'bug-based' issues to attract ire in the Open Demo. Either way, I'm looking forward to getting my Javelins back into the air, next Friday.

Either way, I'm looking forward to getting my Javelins back into the air, next Friday. Even so the game will not launch without issues. Apex did not launch without issues (as some would like to say), I've seen plenty of bugs and glitches on twitch and my daughter had to give up because of all the rubber banding. Should Respawn be slammed? I think not. TCTD2 private beta is now live. Bugfree? Free of server hick-ups? I think not. It is still going to be fun and I will play the crap out of it when it releases just as I will with Anthem. Life's good.

And the internet is a thing. How the signal gets from your machine to EA's server and back cannot be under BioWare's control. At least with dedicated servers, we won't be at the whims of someone else's potato broadband.

Instead of making a new post I'm posting this here because I feel it's related to my own Anthem hype.
Did anyone try the division 2 beta yet? I played for 10 minutes and turned it off. After the freedom of flying and triple jumping about and the verticle combat, that anthem offers, I seriously can't play The Division 2. Actually just cancelled my pre order. Not hating on the division, I have a thousand plus hours in the first game and loved it, but it is what it is, I'm so over it. Anthem is bae.

The combat did feel like pretty regular shooter and not close to Anthem (well, duh, flying ). But the game ran very smooth and the world actually felt much better than Anthem's. Well, it should, since Ubisoft are not newbies in the open world building. You can feel the chaos and conflict and see the mark they left. It was fun to run around and explore. Actually there was a sense of exploring which I didn't get in Anthem. Players ping you when in trouble, there is a sense of urgency that adds to the immersion and the settlement portion of the game feels promising. Have to play more to see if the first good impressions remain.

I watched the endgame video on IGN, and all I could think was: "isn't this gears of war with huge bullet sponges?". I mean, all the more power to you if you like TD2, go and enjoy it, but after experiencing the freedom of Javelin flight and movement, as well as the glorious crackle of gear combo's... No thank you, I do not want to spend a minute shooting the same person, now THAT is unimmersive.
CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE THAT WE ONLY HAVE ONE MORE WEEKEND TO GO WITHOUT ANTHEM IN OUR LIVES!? CHOOOO CHOOOOOOO!!

It's an arpg so meta endgame builds will not necessarily be what we see now. But we get to try out three different builds in the beta. Still, hit the weak points and they're not quite as "spongy". ONE MORE WEEK!

I'll be playing Anthem and TD2. I'm a sucker for Clancy shooters that at least nod in the general direction of realism.
I've been playing the Private Beta with clanmates and we're having a blast.

Oh, do you remember when Darrah was excited by the Twitch viewership and the toxics (they like to call themselves "skeptics" but hey, they crossed that line loooooooooooooong ago) said "wait 'til The Division 2 next week...well the numbers are in now.
Anthem: 331k The Division 2: 104k
I'm not raining on The Division 2. I'm in there to BUT this does suggest that the interest for Anthem is way beyond what the "naysayers" like to think when they ask around in their echocamber.

But I will wait for the sales numbers to come in before opening the champagne. We know EA won't be happy no matter the numbers, but it will be a big success if Anthem breaks 4 million units in the first month (not counting Origin Premier members). Isn't the Division 2 pretty much the same as the first? Just new story and maybe some gameplay tweaks? I know I won't care much to watch footage from Anthem 2 down the line, but I would have watched Anthem now if I wasn't in the demo. Being new and somewhat fresh is an advantage that I hope Anthem can profit from.

Being new and somewhat fresh is an advantage that I hope Anthem can profit from. As a side note (not to nitpick), Anthem 2 is unlikely to happen, as Anthem is made by design to be able to fit a continuing story. So anything that would require an Anthem 2, could actually just be done in Anthem with either free updates or expansion DLC.

Oh, do you remember when Darrah was excited by the Twitch viewership and the toxics (they like to call themselves "skeptics" but hey, they crossed that line loooooooooooooong ago) said "wait 'til The Division 2 next week...well the numbers are in now. Anthem: 331k The Division 2: 104k I'm not raining on The Division 2. I'm in there to BUT this does suggest that the interest for Anthem is way beyond what the "naysayers" like to think when they ask around in their echocamber. That's really good to hear. But I will wait for the sales numbers to come in before opening the champagne. We know EA won't be happy no matter the numbers, but it will be a big success if Anthem breaks 4 million units in the first month (not counting Origin Premier members). Isn't the Division 2 pretty much the same as the first? Just new story and maybe some gameplay tweaks? I know I won't care much to watch footage from Anthem 2 down the line, but I would have watched Anthem now if I wasn't in the demo. Being new and somewhat fresh is an advantage that I hope Anthem can profit from. There is a lot new and different in the game. I still think there is a lot of buzz around the Division 2. I definitely like to see how Marcostyle, Kodie Collings et al handles the sequel. And it is a happening when agents can come together again around something new. Anyway, for me the takeaway message is that the Buzz around Anthem is big. BioWare have to deliver as well of course. For me I'm in it for the long run.

Anthem 2 is unlikely to happen, as Anthem is made by design to be able to fit a continuing story. So anything that would require an Anthem 2, could actually just be done in Anthem with either free updates or expansion DLC. Destiny...1. Need I continue? 😀 10 year plan...gone after 3 years. Whatever content is in Division 2 probably could have been a DLC for Division 1 too, but they make a new game. Probably easier to build the new tech from scratch instead of patching the old. I would place a bet on Anthem 2 and not on DLCs past year 4 (I am a big optimist, I know) of the current Anthem. And I am not taking bets that BW will develop A2. It may well be another studio. But if we get A2 that will mean A1 was a success, so let the hype continue 😀

Anthem official release in three weeks, am even counting the days for the pre-load just to have it sitting on my hard drive. Going to restrain from early access because if you can't carry over save file into final game, it will just act as another tease.

I thought that was only for the demo saves? And isn't it two weeks?
