Did the daily challenges in Anthem … the glitch where you can't complete the world events in a single freeplay episode appears to be back. It's more of a feature. You can only do 3 in a visit.
Defending Cataclysm, as is, is admirable but calling it a feature is stretching it. If three is a true "more of a feature" then Bio is intentionally frustrating players for no reason that I can determine. The loot system is bad with its Grinch like drops. Adding additional restrictions is insane (like making it a forced co-op play).
Cataclysm is a golden opportunity for Bio to develop a Stand Alone "world event", offering challenges, fun and proper rewards reflecting those challenges. The rewards, should be independent of the main loot system. Thus, the opportunity to give players what they've been clamoring all along. Being independent insulates the Cataclysm from a possible "loot system reboot" .
Making this a limited event (6-8 weeks) but a re-occuring one (say three times a year) and at the same time giving out juicy rewards will be the hook that gets players engaged. Bio should give itself some experimentation room to change the length, frequency and rewards of this "world event". After all, anything can happen. Right?

calling it a feature is stretching it That is literally the task, to complete the world event 'feat', which caps at 3 events. It may be confusing and odd that you can't do 6 world events in a row, but it's not a bug, it's a dumb design feature.

Not true ... a least on PC.
I've completed the 6 world event challenge in one instance of freeplay (I'm careful to avoid general spawns so I don't max my backpack).
I've also had it stop counting at four, irrespective of the world events completed … and upon getting back to the fort, it reduced to three.
In this case, when I did the third world event, I got the banner for challenge complete … but being aware of the bug … I checked and sure enough … it only showed two of three world events. I did three more … none advanced the challenge (which frankly, is what I expected).
I exited that instance of the world event, salvaged my loot, went back to the fort, checked coin level and started a new freeplay instance. Did a world event … no completion banner (since I'd already gotten one, that perhaps is progress … in the past, when it's glitched I've gotten multiple challenge completion banners), but when I checked the challenges, it showed complete. Went back to the fort, saw that I'd gotten monetary credit for the challenge and pressed on with the stronghold challenge.
The bug seems to hit on specific combinations of daily challenges. Like I said, I've completed the six WE challenge in one FP instance … but also had it bug out after three or four. Most times, I can complete the three WE challenge in one instance … but gotten the banner of completion twice when I completed a WE beyond the initial three. Not being able to complete the three in one FP instance is rare for me … it's a bug, not a feature.

Agreed.
On the other hand, I believe Mike Laidlaw said it for us. "any time someone puts in an idea to modify, add or change the game Bio will always ask these questions."
(1) How many resources are required? (2) How much time will it take? (3) What is the cost?
and finally
(4) What's Bio's benefit?
For a live service game these questions appear to be paramount. ... and the payers suffer for it. imo.

For a live service game these questions appear to be paramount. ... and the payers suffer for it. imo. I think it may be more practical. An improvement that fixes something annoying that most people understand how to work around is lower on the pecking order than bugs and hotly required new content and critical improvements. It's not exactly broken so other things come first.

%^&$*^^(^%***&&^%$###@@@!!!!##^^%(* Computers is what I'm saying right now.....after getting all sorts of random BSODs and crashes in the past three days when my PC has been 200% in the past three years sooo why now??? join us on the console scrub raceeeee there are less BSOD's My thanks to everyone for their replies......I fixed the problem; as I suspected, it was caused by missing/invalid or corrupted (any one or all of these adjustectives) registry keys. ......I stand corrected: about 15 minutes ago, after several hours of stability, I got another random BSOD with the same stop code "Memory_Management"......so now I'm back to square one, re-testing my RAM for issues.

8:00 p.m. ET....After spending all day testing and re-testing RAM, through a process of elimination testing each individual chip for several hours and then gradually adding one more (from 8 to 16, 16 to 24 etc), I have found that with two chips my system is stable....But as soon as I get to a full complement of 32....the system eventually goes to a BSOD with the stop code of "Memory_Management" after an average of 3 hours being idle. Each DDR4 chip checks out as being "healthy" in every test I can think of performing for diagnosing RAM issues....and considering that one chip of 8 is okay, even two is fine.....But 4 creates a problem-- I dread the thought that it is not a RAM issue but a motherboard issue. I do not want to have to replace my motherboard. There are no X-99 based motherboards out there, especially not in the price bracket I originally paid for the Gigabyte Phoenix SLI at 500.00. And if I am going to replace the motherboard, I might as well rebuild and update my entire platform with new stuff. Yet that is the biggest expense that I do not want to incur at this time. To replace everything with new tech in the calibur and price range of the stuff that I have....would cost easily 5000.00 and I can't afford that right now, but even if I could...I wouldn't want to spend that much on a new system when my current one is just 3 years old. Not sure what to do at this point....

EB … like you, I have 32GB of RAM … but in most cases, 16GB is plenty of RAM … irritating to leave two sticks unused … but if it is the difference between a stable platform or rebuilding the platform at considerable expense … your choice.
Have you checked Amazon? I don't know what the specs are for the Gigabyte Phoenix SLI mobo … but there are new (plus used and refurbished) X-99 mobos available … maybe more than what you want to pay, but certainly cheaper than a complete rebuild.
Back on topic … today, finished the story that takes us to the cataclysm. No spoilers, but I now know the Monitor's name.
Before I jump in to the cataclysm, want to check out freeplay, see what changes were made with the update.
Also, if you check the vault, you won't see the weapons, but you'll see the new weapon classes that will be dropping.
Some things …
The Valkyries are tougher in the PTS than in the base game … I suppose to make up for the brutes losing their shields. Furies still hate the Thunderbolt. The lack of inscriptions on MW (and lego) support gear is a bug … the inscriptions are there, we just can't see them … which for now, makes them a mystery as to what we have.
Tomorrow, plan to investigate freeplay changes (from the update to PTS) and then jump into the cataclysm.

-Thanks for the reply, Grinch....I'll bear that in mind. I've put all 32 gb back in my system this morning when I woke up....and now I'll wait and see what happens. There's a few other things I can do to diagnose the problem and/or do my best to get my system back up and running like normal.....Last night, I was just thinking of the worst case scenario- while trying not to let my mind run away with me as it often can in situations like this.
But on topic: I' have not had any chance to take part in the PTS...what's it like? Is it fun? Is it good? Am I missing out on anything, or should I wait until it actually launches?

Not sure what to do at this point.... Go with Zen 2. The Ryzen R5 3600x, that is due out at July 7th will beat out even the 8700k, possibly even the 9700k in gaming related workloads, while perfectly obliterating them in multithreaded workloads. You won't even need to replace the RAM and the 3600X will work on even a B350 motherboard, which are really cheap are were perfectly suited for the previous 6c/12t Ryzen and will offer support for new ones as well. Provided their BIOS is updated and ready for Zen 2. Should cost somewhere between $400-500 tops.

[snip] But on topic: I' have not had any chance to take part in the PTS...what's it like? Is it fun? Is it good? Am I missing out on anything, or should I wait until it actually launches? It's a work in progress. It advances the story a bit. Heart of Rage was not the end of chapter one of the story, the Cataclysm might be … not going to spoil the story … it's more vignette than complete addition … but continues with some foreshadowing of where chapter two will take us.
Gameplay … Valkyries are definitely tougher … but not insane (at least on GM1). Some new world events … along with the older style of world events. The new ones need some work … it's like the spec where you can pick any two of the three … they tried to do all three and that doesn't quite work (timed event with a short timer, objective that is a bullet sponge, limited access to the event where folks are locked out after a short time, making it very tough for a solo player to complete the task in the allotted time … remember, this is in freeplay).
Game seems stable … there is a bug where unlocking the Javelins causes a CTD … but beyond that, I've not had issues. The story has some issues in surround sound mode … where certain conversations are either way too quiet or completely muted … it's almost as if the center channel is missing the audio signal.
They've tweaked the universal components … my guess is that almost no one was using them … now they are viable alternatives to some of the Javelin-specific components. The MW support gear is better (inscriptions don't show, but are there … they are aware of the bug). Lego support gear should be better still … makes the support gear somewhat useful on GM1 and maybe GM2.
There is a new form of currency … don't know what it is yet or how it is obtained … if I were to guess, I'd say it will be something like mission funds in MEAMP … so you'll have in-game currency (coin), purchased currency (shards) … plus "Mission Funds" of some kind (I assume) to buy the chests that hold gear and weapons. There may be alternate paths to buy the chests … say with coin … no idea. There is a new vendor in the fort … I assume that is where you go to buy the gear and weapons … but right now, after I've had a few conversations with him, there is no opportunity to buy anything. I expect that in the coming days or weeks. I didn't set the story to private (unlike what I did with the released version of Anthem) … but with one exception, I've played the story solo. I think I had a BioWare person join me … thought I had a teammate … mostly the person played the role of Chauncey Gardner … didn't matter, running the story solo on GM1 is not really a problem (just remember, the Thunderbolt of Yvenia is your friend).
I tried the Cataclysm when PTS was first released … have not played it yet after the big update … this time I've done the story up to the Cataclysm, so I can put the event into proper context … we'll see how much it's changed since the first release … plus, I'll spend more time on it than I did the first attempt. But before I do that, I intend to explore the new freeplay world events … see how those have evolved since the first release.
Overall … if you don't want to spoil it before playing the full up released version, you can skip the story completely … so you can check out freeplay and the Cataclysm to see if you like what they've done … plus add your own feedback to the dev team in the sub-forum they've provided (and linked to in-game). If you have the storage space available on your computer and the download isn't a deterrent … give it a try. They start you out at level 30, a few lego weapons with lame inscriptions, some decent gear and a few MW components … but lots of resources, so I just crafted some MW weapons and gear that had decent inscriptions, plus support gear and went with that.
They put you in a context that is after the Heart of Rage, but prior to completing the story … I've redone those end of story elements, plus used this third pilot to pick both response 1 and response 2 in the conversations … that middle ground compared to the solid response 1 of my first pilot and solid response 2 for my second pilot. Also, most of the challenges are disabled. You can still do LCs, collect runes, manuscripts, etc., but things like challenge of might, daily challenges, lancer reputation amongst the various factions … those are all disabled.

Hi again, Grinch. Thanks for your lengthy reply. Sounds like a lot of detail and fun! So far.......it's been nearly 10 hours and no BSODs to report (so, yay! .....sorry that's me throwing a party, haha)....And while that all sounds really good, my next question is....am I missing out on anything if I forego the PTS and wait for launch? (ie, will the Cataclysm WE be over....is it just for the PTS? Silly question, but I want to make sure that I'm not actually missing anything crucial like WEs or Story etc by skipping the Test) I am assuming that Launch will have the same content (ie Cataclysm and Story) but have (most of) the kinks worked out.

I took it back to my builder at the time, and he gave me the Intel chip that had just released then....The 2.2 Ghz Intel Core2Duo....which I ran for 5 years-plus without problems. From then on I've always gone with Intel.

So played some Anthem last night. It was ok. Went total beast mode in the daily legendary mission. I had zero idea what was happening other than total devastation for the dominion. I was mashing buttons like crazy and it was working incredibly well 😂😂😂. Somehow I can never replicate it often or well enough to be reliable , but I felt like Neo in the Matrix for a while. Lets just say a lot of scrubbery came after that match, sorry other pugs. Just a lot of crap that I should know better about doing. Although I felt particularly bad for the last storm who would ice prime juuuuust as I sent out an inferno grenade. And the colossus who I kept hulk smashing the same enemy with every time 😂. I really should have just stayed in my own corner lol. But I didn't get to see how well or badly I did each time because I kept getting expedition results all night.

EB … you can skip PTS and you won't miss any story or miss out on the Cataclysm. This is an incomplete version of the next installment … an opportunity to provide feedback to BioWare on what you like, what you don't like … plus help them ID bugs or annoyances you found while playing the game.
If you are not interested in providing feedback or not curious about what progress they are making in developing the next installment … then I wouldn't bother. Nothing you do in PTS will transfer over to your pilot in the release version of the game.
It's taking me a while to get to the Cataclysm … PTS is not my highest priority … but I've been putting some time into it, writing down things I think need work … and will pass on to BioWare in their feedback forum.

Only a few more missions to go Before Black Ice gear challenge is finished. The last one. Staying out of PTS for now because I am kneedeep in WoW and I don't want to be spoiled too much.

Yep the PTS seemed to be VERY interesting, but I cannot fathom the fact I'll be spoiled when playing it so I dropped out fast

Thanks for your input....But I have had one AMD CPU (circa 2002) and I swore I would never ever go anywhere near them ever again. The chip was so underpowered and over-worked....It go so hot because cases then didn't have the ventilation and cooling they do now (at least not the ones I was given), that in less than two weeks it had literally FUSED itself to the socket of my motherboard. I took it back to my builder at the time, and he gave me the Intel chip that had just released then....The 2.2 Ghz Intel Core2Duo....which I ran for 5 years-plus without problems. From then on I've always gone with Intel. You'll find that the situation with the Zens is quite opposite nowadays. I'd wait for about a month and check out a few reviews, though. I hear Intel is going for a 10-12 core CPU themselves. Where the X99 mobos for the 8 core SKUs? Like the 6900K? Oof! That's super pricey, if you got that. I'd really hate having to swap that out after just three years. Even if you find a proper replacement for that X99, you're still looking upward of $300 for a decent one.

Go with Zen 2. The Ryzen R5 3600x, that is due out at July 7th will beat out even the 8700k, possibly even the 9700k in gaming related workloads, while perfectly obliterating them in multithreaded workloads. You won't even need to replace the RAM and the 3600X will work on even a B350 motherboard, which are really cheap are were perfectly suited for the previous 6c/12t Ryzen and will offer support for new ones as well. Provided their BIOS is updated and ready for Zen 2. Should cost somewhere between $400-500 tops. agree with him. Zen 2 is gona be a beast. you have the ram already z zen2 3600 Will be like 200$ and then you have several options for mobos, you can take an old gen b450 or good but not top of the line x470 depending on how long you want to keep it ( this should be between 70-200$) or go ahead and get one of the new x570s which Will be between 200-300$ and have the new stuff like pcie4. Havent Heard much about them but there should also be b550 boards for less money too. I personally im waiting for the processors to come out to swap my 1700 for a 3600 while keeping my b350 board for another couple years till i see what the backwards compatibilty plans are fopr the 3000 line chips on newer mobs and just switch the mobo later on to keep my upgrade path open.

Trying a new Ranger configuration built around Last Argument (Frag Grenade) and Tactical Onslaught (Venom Darts), with Tip of the Spear and Vanguard's Badge for health and shield regeneration. I tried it in GM3 Freeplay yesterday and got my ass handed to me by swarming Frost Hounds - died about 5 times trying to complete 1 World Event . I tried looking for components with LB and Gear Regen to try and up throw rate of Last Argument so it could be used to viably regenerate armor. Turns out I only have 1 machine pistol with that: Unending Battle. This is working... sorta, with mixed results. Survivability is up - took out a Titan so that was cool. Obviously, I'm melee hitting a lot of stuff to regen shields, while shooting at point blank range to try to trigger that 135% extra damage (not the Titan though). Took it to GM2 Sunken Cell Stronghold and, I won't lie, I felt like I was carrying the damn team, lol.

Today in anthem. Well, it hasn't so much been today as the last couple of days. And it hasn't been something as much as it has been nothing. Don't worry, not another needless skeptic post. Rather, just sharing my feelings about anthem. My... liberation. So E3 was this weekend. And we've heard much about a lot (Keanu "Cyberpunk" Reeves). What we didn't hear about, was anthem. Or, we did, but everyone who played their precious cataclysm repeated the same criticism as was before. The same criticism that was apparent from the PTS feedback. And all the while Ben Irving still being optimistic and cheerful. His god-given right, of course, but the thing is, I was starting to get worked up again. I started... until I realised there was a huge sale of games in the wake of e3. Not only that. I mapped out some release dates of games I would like to play in the future, and I'm pretty much set, up until CP2077 releases. So... I kind of... instantly lost any desire to return to anthem. And with that, came liberation. Freedom from frustrating myself over the untapped potential that anthem had. Freedom from the call from the ol'timey bioware of yore which no longer exists. And in that release, I found peace of mind. What I'm trying to say is... Good luck to all peoples here. Keep enjoying anthem for what it's worth. I had some good times with the game, but it's past tense now for me. On the unlikely occasion of bioware getting it's shit together, I might reconsider. BUt other than that, it's a closed off chapter for me. It's been fun here I might lurk here once in a while though (quite possibly just to revel in sadistic pleasure... ). Next up! Red dead redemption 2! See ya all!

Yesterday the last World event for the day was the last one to finish the black ice challenge. So now it is back to the good ole Power Ranger for some high octane freelancing.

It's been fun here Gaming has to be what's fun for you. I haven't been in Bastion for a week now and likely won't go back (much) before Cataclysm properly drops. Follow your joy.

Red dead redemption 2! See ya all! Borderlands 2 has a free DLC available if you wish Otherwise, in the cyberpunk department, I'd recommend Deus Ex obviously, and The Technomancer (not AAA but nice one if you like anything Mars related) And if you like The Witcher, Greedfall (from the same developer) coming out in September (end of advertising) Have fun ;-)

I downloaded it and it's somewhere in my libraray.... maybe some day Also got thronebreaker at half price due to e3, looks neat. Also, should play gwent for the story at some point. Just started RDR2. It looks promising This should keep me occupied for a while. Greedfall... never heard of this :/ but doesn't look too much my thing.
