I now finished all mission/stronghold content. Of course the missions lack any meaningful story. Interceptor is still cool to play around with.
One tiny detail: if you return to Fort Tarsis by yourself during freeplay, you can't click the door or anything to return inside. You still have to officially end the expedition in a menu.

UGH....I hate migraines I also hate severe vertigo and tinnitus ,and random drop attacks caused by the two. NOT fun. ANTHEM on the other hand....is becoming more fun with each playing experience.

So you can't freeplay on your own apparently. Shame as I wanted to try out my 2nd javelin on my own.

Had some issues entering freeplay - 3 times at around 75% of loading bar I got kicked to the opening screen and had to reach my Javelin all over again. But after I entered the freeplay so far I've had little to no issues. Controls and gunplay are still something I need to get used to (still testing different keybindings and sensitivity settings with my Razer), but I'm getting better at it. If they improved KB+M for the main game from the demo, then at least I would have no problem enjoying the controls. I also didn't find swimming as annoying as some other folks Truth to be told the only major bug I faced is the 95% loading bar when the entire group wipe on stronghold but apart from that only minor glitches like mobs suddenly disappear

Nope You can roam the map (or the section of the map in case of the demo) as long as you like, untethered to other players. You may see up to 4 people in your instance, but both you and them are free to go their own way - or join whatever they're doing. Sometimes even being close means getting a share of loot after one of them completes a random event or kills something.

And after taking a swim at some point a portion of sounds disappeared. Other than that nothing major yet when freeplaying.

I knew I wasn't the only one to see that as a deficiency. I'd like a big button on the door that does exactly the same thing as that darn menu prompt... Mind you, I'd have required everyone to actually get in the shuttle in MEMP.

Almost everyone is complaining of serious rubberbanding in freeplay, yet things are much better in regular missions. That's troubling. Maybe a different kind of network architecture at work in freeplay. I said over and over again they should have called this a beta. They shot themselves in the foot calling it a demo, which is supposed to be a FINISHED slice of the game. No, they never said that it was a finished slice of game - in fact they were pretty open about it being a snapshot of game taken from December (and the modified for the sake of demo) and with 6 weeks less of bug fixes compared to the main game. And how is a regular person supposed to know that? Not everyone keeps up to date with Anthem information.
They marketed it as a demo. Demo traditionally means a slice of the finished game's gameplay. What we got was well this, it showed off Anthem in the worst possible light. People on Twitch watching got to see the Anthem Demo screw up badly and they're going to think "If this is what the demo is like... the launch day is going to be a clusterfuck."
It's on EA/BioWare's head. They gave us a shitty demo which wasn't even their best. It's a shame Anthem is starting off like this. It has the potential to be a good game but I don't know, EA seems hellbent on mismanaging everything that isn't a sports game atm.

So me, Heimdall and couple of others just took on Butt Spider. Even on easy it felt like a pretty good challenge. sofa and myself destroyed it earlier 👀 seemed a bit too easy on normal. Easy is too easy, like way easier than bronze in ME3 MP. I guess I understand, games like these aren't about skill in the first place, but about the amount of the time you're willing to invest in it. Fun to see BSN is teaming up in the game. If there'll be an archeology group that's all about discovering hidden places and lore, I'd be tempted to get in on the action. If Anthem ends up to be filled with hidden secrets and egg hunting, that'd be cool. I'm intrigued wether BioWare only designed a map for shooting stuff, or did something extra with it.

The information has been relayed in multiple different publications, youtube channels and developer tweets. You know... just like the availability of the demo was. From my perspective, people who want to try this demo are usually folks that are roughly up to date about Anthem. And they marked it as a demo, because it is a demo. Hard to have a 'finished' game a month prior to its launch, in an era when games are way more complex than they were a few years back, most of them have 1st day patches for a good reason AND are also part of a game that will be constantly updated for years to come (a few reasons why we don't see many demos anymore). They gave it a try and are now working to smooth things out. I'd say that if this week ends up with most people being able to try it out they will have a good idea of how responsive Bioware and EA are and we will see how things will differ between this week's demo and the next one. If they show that they can un-'clusterfuck' this demo, then we probably shouldn't worry about launch much.

It's just move and shoot fight. The only hard part is running out of ammo. Sadly my team decided not to move after we got the spider to about 40 % health and died on the adds. That was on Normal, I imagine Easy would have been a win even with my pug group.
Actually some of the earlier encounters in the Stronghold were harder than the spider

Oh come off it get off your high horse. Not everyone follows everything that BioWare does, I have other things to worry about and to be frank it's not always on my mind. I DON'T need to read the latest gameinformer article about how it plays, or watch the latest demo. I'd much rather get my hands on something and play it. Less hype, less disappointment and more enjoyment.

Does anyone know why crafting is locked beyond common weapons?
Also, so far I've never been able to transition from Tarsis to the world and viceversa in a smooth manner. I always have to close the game and then kill it via task bar. It's annoying as hell and I don't know if I keep what I collected in freeplay.

I've crafter armour, guns, powers, gear, I think that's it. Basically everything you can equip. It's limited though. Think you have to find the blue prints maybe cos new stuff keeps opening up to me to craft the more I play

You can craft green uncommon with the blueprints that are provided, if you have enough of the materials, including green shards (can't remember exactly what they're called). If you click on the blueprint, you can choose the rarity to craft.
