Everything we know about Anthem

Multiple debuffs/status effects …

That doesn't seem like a yes to me. I think he was asking if you can just watch the cinematics again, like go to a menu, select movies, and re-watch what's been unlocked already. Just replaying the game to see everything again (or joining someone else's mission) isn't what he was after, I don't think.

I think they should add a cinematics theatre! Somebody tweeter that!

Definitely taking cues from Mass Effect ,though Ice status effects were generally best against Armored/Unarmored enemies in the ME series.

@biomarkdarrah @anthemgame @benirvo What is the difference between lightning and frost status effects caused by primer abilities?

Ben Irving @benirvo
Frost freezes (hard CC), lightning creates an AOE damage pulse around the target


[HASH]ANT

I have noticed no option to fix the "safe space" settings for the screen itself on XB1X so far, either in the alpha or in this demo. Kind of annoying when some of the icons are halfway offscreen and I can't even SEE the loading bar at the top to know if I've frozen or not.

Yup, they are still a thing.

for me when i use the Ranger i found it rather easy to kick their a**. I use the sticky grenade, then use the spark beam. After using that those punk b***h have less than half life. 

that's good news, just hope BW servers are ready for the boat load of people on Friday - Sunday.

PC Controls Update - Aiming and Flight

Hey All,

Thanks to all of the amazing feedback last weekend during the VIP Demo, we have some updates to share on PC Controls. These are updates for LAUNCH (15th Feb / 22nd Feb). Unfortunately we couldn't get these fixes in for the open demo this weekend.

TL;DR - Aiming uses raw mouse input. Flight & Swim controls are improved and more responsive.

Aiming
- Raw Mouse Input Fixed
- We found and fixed a bug that caused the symptom of negative acceleration

Flight and Swimming
- Increase Available Range for Mouse Sensitivity Options
- Flight and swim sensitivity sliders now allow for more than double the range it offered before. This allows different mouse DPI settings (specifically extremely high or low) to better fit into our in-game swim/flight sensitivity settings.

PC Flight Box is now a Circle
- PC Flight Cursor is now constrained by a circle boundary instead of a box. This allows better turn/speed management as the distance away from center dot (which dictates the speed of your turn) is always the same maximum amount in any direction.

Added Auto-Centering for PC Flight
- Added auto-centering behavior on swimming and flying by default for PC.
- When mouse input stops (after a delay) the crosshair will automatically return to center.

Resolved bug with Sprint/Fly on Button Press
- We’ve resolve a jittering/FX spam issue bug that players would receive when playing with hold-to-fly (rather than toggle) option for flight.

Raw Mouse Input is now achievable in PC Flight
- By setting Flight/Swim Response and Precision settings sliders to 0% you can now achieve raw mouse input.

Default Flight and Swim Sensitivity Settings Updated
- All default PC flight and swim sensitivity settings are now tuned to 1200 DPI instead of 1800 DPI.
- Default flight and swim sensitivity changed from 50% and 35% respectively, to both being 40%.
- This is the same as having both set to 100% with our previous sensitivity tuning, and since swimming was lower sensitivity than flight it’s seen an even bigger boost in responsiveness at default settings.

Tuned Flight/Swim Response and Precision Default Settings and Curves
- The defaults are now much closer to raw mouse input.
- Adjusted defaults for Precision / Response:
    25% for flight and swim precision down to 15%
    50% for flight and swim response down to 30%
- Tweaked flight and swim response to ease into the slowing down behavior close to center in a less steep way than before.

Once the game launches, we look forward to getting more feedback and we are prepared to make more improvements as needed

Thanks again for all your help!
