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 yeah the first fight is the hardest ha. Spider is easy. And I don't struggle with ammo being a mage hardly use my guns You lucky dog. The Colossus is a terrible ammo hog. Now you are tempting me to go Storm for launch day. So tired of chasing the ammo drops and feeling useless until I can shoot again. And my shield really is no help against most enemies. Although it's fun to walk against the weaker grunts with my shield and bash them. I did notice that most Storm players barely ever shoot. Curious to test that playstyle. Or the melee one of the Interceptor I think? But that last one looked like a suicide waiting to happen.

I did say 'usually' I didn't say 'all of them'. And if that's how you've found out about the demo then you are really out of the loop. If you have to 'be in the loop' to find out basic info then there is something wrong.
How i know anything at all about Anthem? These forums. Nothing to do with bioware or ea.
The funny thing is that most info about Anthem on this forum is based on 'basic info' spread anywhere else. Also - if you were on this forum and only somehow managed to find out about the demo only from Twitch when it was already streamed, despite many threads about the demo here existing for months already, then I'm afraid that the problem ain't on 'basic info' or how widespread it was...

I've got great inscriptions and all my powers are level 19 Blues and they kill just as easy on herd as they do in normal. I honestly don't even need to try the Colossus, that's not for me, not being able to dodge, I know you have the sheild but so many times I'm getting shot from all directions I feel it would be hard end game. Was looking forward to ranger but after leveling my rangers powers I feel it's very gun dependent and a lot of the guns are meh. I have a amazing shotgun and an amazing battlerifle but still prefer my powers. Will try the interceptor at some point but I'm all about the OP storm God.

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.
Of course, you don't need to, especially if you're here - that's why we have Anthem Twitter Thread and Everything about Anthem thread for your convenience, and why claiming that being here and to have only found of the demo when somebody streamed it is... indicative.

I just had a chance to zip around with the Interceptor for a bit, and it definitely feels both stronger and a lot more fun than the Ranger I was in. I haven't even tried the Ult yet, and just enjoyed rampaging through anything that wasn't in the air.

Nevermind that they can probably tweak those form server side if need be.

The elitism coming from you is staggering.

saandrig: Don't use Heavy Weapons, they are bad (which is a shame). Marksman Rifle or Shotgun as primary, Sniper as secondary. F up regular goons with melee while having the shield out. Works. I only use weapons for Elite enemies. hawkspian: Yeah buggy items all over the place. Javelin-exclusive stuff carrying bonuses for other Javelins, and 0% bonuses everywhere. But that is one of the few problems of this mess of a demo that I can actually forgive.

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. Makes you wonder why they put it out ha. They know how angry us games get and how we want the best of everything right now! Love your sense of humor in this post. Anyway, I'm sure BioWare worked hard and even harder now near release, so best wishes to them.

I was in freeplay earlier and I noticed that another player on the map was inside one of the explorable mini-dungeons. I thought there might be something cool to see there so after a few more minutes I headed up that way. They had left by then. When I explored it almost all enemies were dead but after several minutes they started respawning, but it seemed very strange. Like the spawns weren't coordinated or organized, it was like the game was just casually refilling the area without noticing that I was there. Eventually I walked my way to the back of the area and found the chest - but it was already opened by the previous player and there was no loot waiting for me to pick up.
This is troubling. These areas are behind a loading screen, so I assumed they would be instanced when a new player goes into them. But apparently it's a one-shot for that entire freeplay session, as far as I can tell. Maybe the chest would respawn if I waited longer, but I spent a long time in the first areas fighting enemies, so at worst the previous player was there 15-20 minutes before me.
I don't want to have to compete against 4 other people on my map for chests at the end of mini-dungeons, or feel obligated to join them when I see them go into one just to not miss out on the loot. I hope this is a bug or something.
Switching topics for a second, I'm disappointed in Strongholds (or at least the Tyrant Mine specifically). I mean, it is what it is, and it's a decent mission. It was fun enough at this level, and I'm sure that with endgame builds at high difficulty levels it'll be nice and challenging with adequate rewards. But it's supposed to be the endgame activity. As it is, I'd say it's comparable in length to Destiny's strikes. A 10 minute or less mission, and there being only 3 at launch, is not really going to be adequate endgame activity. I don't think BioWare has really thought through the endgame loop.

The elitism coming from you is staggering.
The gist of my argument is that the information is freely and conveniently available, so I'm not sure what I'm gatekeeping here... I mean, at some point accusations of 'elitism' become hilarious, especially given the lack of effort needed to reach the information in question, on a forum or not. Also, nice strawman you have there. I'm fairly sure I never claimed that "you should have known about X, Y, Z because it's here on the forum" - only that if you are on the forum already the information here is so easily and conveniently available that having certain issues or expressing certain ignorance at certain topics will not stem from 'lack of info' or anyone here being a 'f*cking gatekeeper'....

hawkspian You get a better rarity version of a blueprint by using the weapon in question. Cortex (J) -> Challenges -> Weapons Uncommon is easy, rare not that easy because you have to kill Elite enemies this explains why I can now craft blue rarity items. I just need 35 of the bottom mat. Got bazillions of all the others even though I've been making green stuff. On the storm some of the powers and inscriptions really confuse me. Got an ice shard power that says ranger missile damage 10%. Wtf is that about? Few of them have ranger buffs but they're storm powers? Derp Turns out I had 35 and only need 5 but couldn't craft them for what ever reason. Can now craft all blue items so have level 19 everything. Think I'm Maxed out at power level 134. Can you get any higher in the demo?

Not without finding an elusive Epic/Legendary/Masterwork I guess (even with unlocked recipes you could not craft one because there is no way to farm the mats). I am Level 14 (107), so still a bit to go. Guess I will max. out tomorrow and just chill during the open demo next week, lol. First thing is finding a damn Flamethrower, that thing has been hiding like a pro ninja so far

Well, I finally got in past the login screen. Explored a bit in the fort, then started a mission. Hrungr and Terminator Force were two of the suggested players I could invite.
Of course, the endless loading monster got me before I could start
