Right, but for weeks they were trying to create a narrative about BioWare and Inquisition based on that even if it wasn't to be for the general public and there probably was a disclaimer from BioWare we never saw. I asked Mike Laidlaw about that directly fairly recently. He said those demos were never intended to be public being pre-alpha footage, but he acknowledged that they thought information probably would leak and they were ok about that.

Apropos a recent set of tweets, during a Stronghold raid, do you want all players in the squad to get credit (partial or full) for completing the raid, even if they died and were not revived during the raid? What if a player goes AFK? What if a player is disconnected (either by choice or through no fault of their own) and not replaced through matchmaking? I'd favor a system that gives everyone some amount of credit for being in the squad whether they are revived or not, but I'd do some kind of penalty for dying too much, going AFK, or disconnecting. The penalty would also only apply to the character who died/afk/disconnected, no squad penalty.

The normal system I see these days, at least in Warframe and Destiny, is that you get full completion credit if you’re in the squad when the activity is completed, full stop.

The penalty would also only apply to the character who died/afk/disconnected, no squad penalty. I don't believe there should be a punishment for dying too much, as its a good way to detract less skilled players. As for AFK'ers and those who disconnect a lot, for AFK'ers you kick them out of the activity and have someone else fill their slot. For those who disconnect a lot, I'm not entirely sure. This would be a problem if Anthem had PvP, but since it's a primarily PvE game, there doesn't seem to be a need to punish those who disconnect. Something interesting that I haven't seen brought up (to devs like Mark Darrah) is whether the game will still try to matchmake if you're already in a match and someone drops out.

This may only apply to Missions, but I'm reasonably sure there's a squad leader, and the squad leader gets to decide whether squad members get invited, kicked or replaced with matchmaking. What happens if the squad leader drops out, I don't know. One of the remaining is selected randomly maybe?

What happens if the squad leader drops out, I don't know. One of the remaining is selected randomly maybe? It's called "host" usually and the preference is usually set before starting the mission. Kicking usually goes along with a vote system to prevent abuse from single people. Some don't even have a kicking system implemented. So when you start a lobby with friends only the player initiating may change the lobby to public to allow additional players.
When the host drops in P2P connection architeture there is a "host migration" and a new host is determined. For Anthem there needs to be a different method, since it is Server - client afaik.

This doesn't seem like it'll be the case for Anthem, as Mark Darrah already confirmed Anthem will feature dedicated servers.

I think the Storm and Interceptor details were the best part of the PAX info dump.
I wish they had done a story gameplay video, though. The marketing video left much to be desired.

Hoping this thread can be a place of positive of discussion away from the general bashing and skepticism of a game that hasn't come out. We get it! People are concerned, the game seems lacking, Binary choices.. why? etc etc. Lets talk about good things and what the game has going for it! Keep it nice and positive.

I'm pretty excited about Anthem. I think Bioware is going to give us a very unique experience. The way they are discussing the meshing of single-player story and decision consequences with multiplayer action is very intriguing! Also, flying around like Iron Man is a huge plus! I think some people have issues because we just don't really know what the game will be. People say "Destiny clone" and whatnot, but the way they are describing it I think that is not the case at all. Bioware is always trying new and interesting things, and I'm excited to see what they have come up with this time.

I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way as well, especially about getting to be Iron Man . Personally I cant wait either, I feel like its going to be a great alternative to "crack open a cold one with the boys". Flying around finding new areas, upgrading your exosuit, shooting big creatures and getting loot. Whats not love.
