Day two? Come back when your head is cleared. It's Polygon's article, go badger them about it. The server issues are correct, though: Anthem is now available for EA Access members (as well as Origin Access members on PC), but it seems that once again the game is plagued by server issues as it was during the VIP demo. EA Support have posted an update.
This follows on from an assurance from BioWare's Chad Robertson that despite circumstantial evidence from the VIP demo launch, the company has not under-planned server capacity for the game. While the problems currently being experienced by EA Access members may not be related to server capacity, it's certainly another unfortunate PR step on Anthem's path to success. Let's hope the problems pass and so that we can all see the final product for ourselves.www.trueachievements.com/n36490/anthem-already-suffering-from-server-issues-in-ea-access No the fault is on you. You quoted a source that clearly is untrustworthy. Making stuff up as they go and calling it "journalism". Now you're saying it is "plagued by server issues", just how plagued? Maybe you can give us a breakdown on day 1, 2 and 3? I'm looking at XBOX streams that seem to be working fine. Sofa had some problems early on. But I mean we knew there was going to be some amount of problems. Gamble told us outright to expect bugs. Still, maybe we should be thankful for the people with an hidden agenda and axes to grind making it so easy to spot them.

That will make every right wing person on this forum ecstatic as fuck, lol. You have gone from saying the launch has been a huge success to "there's been some problems. Who knows how many problems, can you tell? I can't tell. WHO CAN TELL!" Nice to see you moving the goalposts. I'll just leave this here:

Why worry what the articles says, there was only like 30 min of server issues at beginning and since then I've been playing and having an excellent time without further issues, it seems.

Well that was a great first day. Been awhile since I played a game all day. My fave part so far is the immersion this game has and atmospheric night version of the hub world.

Those articles waited 10 min to watch the dogpile and filed their story. I think today's been a good success. I think I was "plagued" for a whole minute. But I can see how that first half-hour can have been anxiety inducing. Since we had a lot of different connectivity issues during the demos. On PC however it's been great!

Those articles waited 10 min to watch the dogpile and filed their story. I think today's been a good success. I see the bar is falling. Originally it was a great success, now that the server issues are public it's a "good success". I don't understand people's need to pretend nothing went wrong. It was a decent launch by Bioware, but despite having weeks of advance notice of potential problems there were widespread server issues. Is that customary with MMO launches? Yes. But to be a "great success" means it can't have the same sort of launch as everyone else, and it has. Because everything is relative and therefore to be a "great success" it needs to have a launch that is much more successful than its triple A peers. Has it had that? No.

This game's atmosphere is so cool, especially with this pumping music I've been hearing throughout my last freeplay. This game often feels like living in a blockbuster action sci-fi flick. Especially with 7.1 surround sound headset. ... And marijuana ... maybe some wine too. Anyway, another entire day adventuring in Anthem.

Yeah … let's not troll either thread. There are fine discussions going on, both here and in the skeptic thread … I enjoy reading both. We can save the back and forth debate for Anthem threads that are not the Hype or Skeptic threads. If a generic Anthem thread was all we had, it would be different … and a back and forth debate would be entirely appropriate. But we've made spaces for both camps, please respect that. Thank you.

It's only appropriate for Cassandra to find herself written into a schlocky romance Varric would be proud of Haha, it did take a short while to realise but when youi pointed it out it was as clear as an unmuddied lake. And the chronicler is....Emma Thompson right? I haven't seen anything official but either it's Emma or a great imitation. Anyway, I looooooooooooooove the characters in this game. And there is so much dialogue. i will be interesting to see how my choices all pan out. So far i think I have at most lost some poor kid a little finger. But hey, you have to have some scars growing up in a place like Anthem? Right?

I don't think I've "cringed" since I was a teenager really. Of course some jokes are going to be very banal. Mostly though I think it is a personal preference whether you like it or not. Just looking at Brins whole demeanor, hand movements, and her comments as she is slightly embarassed being caught red-handed listening to the Crimson lancer. Very little below the belt humor so far even though I'm sure a some people will find the sexy-bad-choices "cringeworthy".

So I have four more treasue chests and two more revives to prove my wortiness as Freelancer. Chasing that goal has been delightful though. I have been doing the missions in group but then I roamed the freeplay solo. Some dungeons are really big. Freeplay solo will not give you as much xp but every harvest or so give faction loyalty one way or another. Anyway continuing this GREAT launch. But first some music. MAESTRO!

Freeplay is quite nice in this game, especially now with the entire world map opened up and more things to do in them. So enjoyed the extra focus on freeplay yesterday to take in the immersive atmosphere and sci-fi vibes (I missed from ME Trilogy days) while working on the Tomb challenges.
Game feels surprisingly polished too, well, seemingly to the standards of ME Trilogy back when Casey Hudson was leading them. So for the one thing everyone rags on Casey Hudson for these days (and lets face it, it is one issue at the root of it), who knows how many things he's responsible for what we loved about ME Trilogy and now Anthem.
