Err ... I'm not trying to be snarky or anything, but why can't you just use discord for your "guild on the phone" business? Wait, this is put out by EA themselves? "Look for squadmates, look for guilds, communicate with each other" this is all supposed to be in game stuff. WTF?

The Xbox Guild is open, taking offers from PS and PC BSN regulars if anyone wants to kick one of those off.
Xbox Forum: BSN Forums XB01 Is recruiting.

If you play with another member from your guild in game allocate alliance points. Play with someone from your friends list in game - alliance points. Why should an external app dictate whether you earn alliance points or not? This should all be done in game. Communication within guilds outside of the game is typically done by discord.

Communication within guilds outside of the game is typically done by discord. Why? The App has chat. Why use an unconnected 3rd party tool. Either way, Discord isn't how BioWare is doing it.

You're messing around with one external app but don't see the sense in messing around with another, more widely used, more supported external app designed specifically for gamers? Makes sense.

I mean, it kind of worked for Nintendo... I suspect the idea is similar to the Slatoon 2 app.

SJ, I applied. Hit me up.
Also, if this game is brought to (long)term, this guild app might only yet be the beginning, and maybe later we can do other things such as offline viewing of your javelin. It makes sense to already have a separate guild app.
It's a nice (though not the MOST necessary atm) feature to have.

Yeah I still don't get it either... aside from the discord thing which is obviously optional and something EA or Bioware has nothing to do with I see no reason as to why all these functions are not within the game. You know... like in any other game of that kind. Not everyobody even has a smartphone or wants stuff like that on it. I keep mine as clean as possible with as few apps as possible that I really need. To me this screams 2 things: a) we are too incompetent to do this ingame and we want to get additional data and spy on you with some stupid app.

Was thinking the same of starting it. If not for anything else, then atleast for "sentimental value" or feeling that we are actually a clan with sameminded people. Maybe there will be some benefits in the future if you are in the guilds.

Heimdall, LazarusV2, do please jump in on the App that Talon has opened (who was just ahead of your kind offer). Some help with the guild thread would be appreciated. And each Guild can only hold 100, so we'll need more Guild leaders before long, so you're next up.

I hear some people are planning on just clicking-through the cutscenes. Really? How many facepalms can I rationally post... They're everywhere. I've seen them in SWTOR, D2, ESO. Monsters. When I get into any game that has a story, or is story based....I take in every moment of each cutscene no matter how brief. I enjoy games that tell a story. Scene-skipping monsters is right, Talon.

It's called "Anthem App" (searching for just "Anthem" gives way too many results). And unfortunately for you, is iOS/Android only, so you'll have to use a phone. Anyway, just applied to PC guild.
