No. Apparently all we can share is: "Anthem has a closed Alpha and I'm taking part."
So, Qui-Gon GlenN7 I don't think we are even allowed to say whether we liked it or not. Sorry. If I'm interpreting Sofa's OP correctly I think that saying that we like/don't like what we've played is about all we really could say. We are not revealing anything other than our own personal reaction/feeling to the alpha. I could be wrong I guess. I'm going to re-read the NDA tonight, but the general rule with these is you can't talk about the game at all, not even your general impressions. Just play it safe and say nothing.

Hobey ho; Shadow Quickpaw on X1X reporting. Will there be any activity from the BSN Xbox group for this test (is it even possible is the more pressing question)?

We all want to be in BWs good books when they do more of these down the line...

Hey folks, I just sent out a bunch of friend requests via Origin. Feel free to ignore them. Like I posted in the EA forum thread, I'm only signed up for Sunday test, not tomorrow.
Edit: does anyone know if voice chat like in ME3 is available for Anthem?

My guess is you will be able to play the game on Win7, but the catch is if there is any problem you are on your own for the game was only tested on Win10. That is how a lot of software works for you can try to run it on any OS you want to, but they aren't going to provide support if you have problems. I don't think this is as big as going from WinXP to Win7 because that was adding in 64bit processor support. As someone else mentioned (maybe in this thread?) it's going to come down to DirectX rendering. If it's using DX12 it's gonna be locked to Win10. Fair, I think its a little early for them to do that for normally games take awhile before requiring the newest version of DX at least that is how I remember it.

I think this was discussed a while ago in one of the Anthem threads but I can't remember if it was speculation or confirmation but yes pretty certain it will have voice chat. Actually in the gameplay demo weren't the dev's that were playing talking to each other?

I think this was discussed a while ago in one of the Anthem threads but I can't remember if it was speculation or confirmation but yes pretty certain it will have voice chat I can't remember either, and it may have changed since then anyway. Mostly I'm wondering whether I should bother using my headphones and mic since the settings can be a pain to get right. (I also sometimes forget to turn the mute off so people can hear me)

My alpha acceptance e-mail came in French for some reason and I registered for these forums in the hopes someone could walk me through the pre-download on the PS4. I was able to figure it out while waiting for my registration to be approved so now I guess I’ll just do that friends’ list thing y’all were talking about. PSN: Seidnerz_is_WINS. Just wanted to reiterate that my PSN handle is “Seidnerz_is_Wins” and not Seidnerz. It seems the PS4 pool is pretty small so I don’t want any missed connections. Maybe the OP can be updated as well. Hopefully the other names are correct and so can add them.

Same lol. Everyone trying to get in at once I guess.
I got the forum to load though, eventually.
I got it to load a forum title page and then it just refuses to load anything else or to even reload the title page …. wanna bet EA did their usual trick of assigning millions of copies of something only to provide server space for 100 people ? Yup, same here, but it is supposed to be a stress test. I figure they will add servers to guage performance.

Only got session 2 for today approved. Anyone know why it wouldn't show me on tomorrows sessions? Someone mentioned in chat "They might be trying to gradually increase the number of players each session." Could there still hope for me tomorrow?
