I think the Colossus will be awesome at launch once correctly geared and with a side serving of L2P. Within a Demo setting, I feel it's held back a bit, but I can see its potential.

Game crashed twice in a row at the same place during a Stronghold run. Pretty annoying. And it isn't the first time that area gives trouble. Every time the game crashes I feel like it's getting less and less fun to even bother trying again.

I think the game really clicked with me in free play. After doing all the story missions and the stronghold I got a good sense for the combat, but the freeform flight and fight is naturally the best in an big open space and that's where the moveability really shines.
I already want more missions and content, so I'll guess I'm pretty much on board after playing the open demo/beta.

Yeah, it's always in the same spot in the Stronghold, happened a third time now. Right where the bug swarm assault is supposed to be. Happened last week too but not with the same frequency. And now I also got a sound bug for the first time.

GOt most of the way through the Tyrant Stronghold....Then had a vertigo/tinnitus attack and had to exit the game suddenly (sorry fellas) Still ringing/spinning pretty badly so I'm gonna take some time off. On the + side, I enjoyed playing the Ranger. On another note, I went to Bestbuy to look at Gaming headsets and they didn't have much....Logitech, SteelSeries and Razr. Of those brands, three people recommended the Logitech G933 Gaming Pro over anything else...Would have bought it but didn't want to spend 200.00 dollars on a set just to play ANTHEM when I already have a great set of Bose Ae2 (which I consider general purpose) as well as Sennheiser (for watching TV, movies etc).
But I'll keep it in mind. In any case, I'm having alotta fun playing with people from BSN and I'm getting more and more used to controls (though swimming is still disorienting.....I always get turned around in the underwater tunnel leading to the Tyrant)....Fall WAAAAY behind. Thankfully, the guys I play with are cool about it.
At least, I think they are.....I hope they are. I can't tell because I don't have a headset with a mic. Though thankfully, I haven't read anything like "Gee, that rookie called Rumbler1138 is such a buzzkill. always falls so far behind and delays our progress...." (or nothing else even remotely of the sort. Nothing negative in any way.) that's why I like it here on the BSN.

Maybe it was a bug or they changed something on the fly, but during the stronghold where you have to hold the platform nothing attacked us. It also seems like they fixed the delay of Scar mobs during the second relic area.

PC: Did all the story and stronghold once. Crashed once, but today stable.
Horrible shooting with throwing my aim all over the place, often I'd end up looking straight above with no other input than just pulling trigger. I mostly avoided shooting, which isn't really a plus for a looter-"shooter".
Ranger: Mostly boring with the starter gear. Grenades packed reasonable punch.
Interceptor: The fun is almost at grasp but it's held back by wonky control and camera. Does Venom thing actually do anything? Bad power feedback there. At least melee doesn't throw my aim all over the place until I go nauseous.
Flying: Manageable with soft controlled input, oversteers easily.
Swimming: Rage inducing controls. I rather bleed out / choke and have myself teleported.
Visuals: All turned low. OKish, but the effect overload is real. Can't see shit when action is hot.

My biggest issue (and headache, and rage... well, kinda :-D ) is with that horrible unoptimized head bobbing (recoil simulation, screen shaking) - though it's slightly better than the last weekend, it still happens to me quite often and (completely) loosing control of a javelin is enrageing. Also, and that is new for me this weekend, it was working in VIP demo, is that I cannot access Appearance window at all, I just hear voices how "awesome it's gonna be, time to make a statement", and that's it, screen stays locked on loadout... :-(
EDIT: But I'm still optimistic and looking forward to a game a lot nonetheless :-D

Swimming was bad in the VIP demo … until I applied the changes Hrungr imported from twitter … then it was fine.
Tried swimming today, it was several levels worse for me than the VIP demo … pre-Hrungr updates. I'm going to guess that the "profileoptions_profile" are now additive to the changes BioWare made to the game with the patch, so now, my swimming controls are pooched. I renamed the file … expect the game to make a new one, if that doesn't help (or doesn't work), will crack it open and reapply the Hrungr updates.
Sticking to terrain! How is that happening in a non-cover game? It wasn't just once. Running around on the stronghold mission with the Colossus and several times, in several different parts of the mission, I got stuck next to some terrain/objects/whatever.
Yesterday had one abort to "connecting to server" screen and one CTD … other than that, the game has been steady for me in the open demo.
I still have not found the right weapon mix for the Colosssus.
Tried some of the powers on the Storm that should have given me effectiveness on both armor and shields … but the ones I tried didn't work well at all. So went back to my original choices. At least I can regularly get combos with those.

It's not a platform thing. Played the stronghold without issues on PC. Well, OK, server connection lost on the reward screen but we got our loot. I never experienced a single infinite loading screen on both demo weekends. Only played 6 hours in total, but still. My boyfriend on the other hand had serious connection issues on both weekends. His PC is slightly better than mine and his internet connection is WAY better. I think it's random.

yeah I just keep crashing into stuff. And often when I'm standing, then press W...I can't move. I have to jam my space bar to go into flight first in order to trigger a walk or jog.

Finished all the missions with stronghold, unlocked the Storm. Flight feels better with the Storm than Ranger, swimming is horrible, can't control, can't navigate, don't have a goddamn clue where I'm going and where I'm supposed to go. Rocket sniper is ridiculously OP. More detailed feedback will come later.

Is there a way to kick people from your game or will there be that option in the main game? Yesterday and today I've had ppl join us in the stronghold who are actively trying to stop our progression. Holding onto orbs and other shenanigans. Super frustrating!

When I started the game back up, a settings file was also created (I had to rebind keys and mouse commands, plus all my audio and video settings) … flying was fine. Swimming was better than earlier today, but still no where near as good as it was in the VIP demo after applying the "Hrungr" settings. I'll try changing the swim settings in the GUI, see if I can get back to where I was by the end of the VIP demo.
They will continue to tweak it, so even if I perfect the settings in the open demo, the release version of the game will have to go through the same process. At least flying is close.

Holding onto orbs and other shenanigans. Super frustrating! There are quite a few ways for team mates to troll in the Stronghold. Ran into a few times. Really annoying. They should just spawn more 'things' after a time if someone is just holding on to one so other players can complete objectives.

Is there a way to kick people from your game or will there be that option in the main game? Yesterday and today I've had ppl join us in the stronghold who are actively trying to stop our progression. Holding onto orbs and other shenanigans. Super frustrating! Keep in mind that at one point I held one of the orb things and I had no clue where to go, so I just flew around for 10 minutes trying to figure out where I should drop the orb, until all other teammates decided to converge on the spot :X Anyways, I've been thinking why flight and swimming controls are bad with KB&M. I don't know how it is with the controller, but I assume the flight direction is controlled by one of the analog sticks. This is better than KB&M because you can easily keep the flight stable by letting go of the stick, it just jumps back to place. With the mouse, you don't have that option, thus every time I turn sharply in tight corners, instinctively I break to the other side and I totally lose control of the Javelin and crash into a wall. If I don't touch the mouse it simply stays in that turn configuration instead of straightening up. This is against my gaming and real-life driving experience. To fix this, I would suggest using instead the WSAD keys to control the flight direction, or having to press right/left mouse while turning. This way the flight will straighten out by itself and it will be much simpler to control.
